Chapter 68: Mental Technique
"Is that the person you said last time next to Concubine Rou?" Gu Dian Yi asked.
"That's right, his name is Gu Guzi, and after yesterday's incident, I can also be sure that he does have some evil arts." Mu Ruoxue Road.
"Nangong Jie drugged my tea yesterday, and then I fell for his evil art, the evil art that I finally cracked by bleeding myself." Mu Ruoxue thought about it and said.
"Drugged! You have to be careful in the future. "Gu Dian together.
"By the way, yesterday I saw Mu Ruofei outside your yard, and I thought she was a little weird, maybe your drugging had something to do with her." Gu Dian said as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Mu Ruoxue frowned when she heard this, he did meet Mu Ruofei before he went out yesterday, and now that he thinks about it, he often decocts and tastes medicine on weekdays, and his body's resistance is higher than that of ordinary people, and Nangong Jie's cup of tea cannot easily put her down.
However, yesterday she only drank a small cup of tea, and then she lost her strength, it seems that this matter is not simple.
At this moment, a little girl came in from outside the door, looked at Mu Ruoxue and said, "Miss, Lord Bai is here, Lord Bai is here, and the master invites you to go to the front hall." ”
Mu Ruoxue did not hesitate after hearing this, this morning's incident was at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, many people saw it, and the palace naturally knew about it, Bai Zixu was afraid that it was the emperor's intention.
"Ruoxue, how are you? Is there something wrong? As soon as Bai Zixu saw Mu Ruoxue, he came up and asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Mu Ruoxue said lightly.
Mu Ruoxue looked to the side, Mu Hanyun was sitting on the side at this time, her face was still ugly, but she didn't speak.
"The prince is here to take me into the palace, right?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Bai Zi and said lightly.
"If you don't want to go, I can refuse for you, you don't have to force it." Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue, there was a little distress in his eyes, he had just arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mu Hanyun had already told him what had happened.
"The emperor has asked the prince to pick me up in person, how can I not go?" Mu Ruoxue said lightly.
Seeing this, Bai Zixu just frowned, but didn't say anything more.
Then the two came to the palace, at this time the emperor was reviewing the chapter in the Yangxin Palace, and Nangong Jie was standing by the emperor's side.
"The courtiers have seen the emperor." Mu Ruoxue saluted.
When the emperor heard that Mu Ruoxue was coming, he put down the matter in his hand and glanced at Mu Ruoxue.
"Get up, I heard that Nangong Jie took you to the garden in the suburbs yesterday." The emperor asked, his tone inaudible to joy and anger.
"Back to the emperor, yes!" Mu Ruoxue replied, Bai Zixu stood aside and did not speak.
"I also heard that Nangong Jie went to your Prime Minister's Mansion early this morning to propose to you, and then he was rejected again!" The emperor asked again, with a very flat expression on his face, neither threatening nor angry.
"Back to the emperor, yes!" Mu Ruoxue said again.
"You're so bold!" Suddenly, the emperor looked at Mu Ruoxue Dao, and his voice raised a few points.
Immediately, Mu Ruoxue, Bai Zixu and Nangong Jie immediately knelt on the ground again.
"Your Majesty, it is his business for Nangong Jie to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, whether he agrees or not is the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't be angry with others because of this!" Bai Zi said busily.
And the emperor glanced at Bai Zixu and said, "Okay, let's get up!" Tell me what's going on? ”
The emperor pointed to Mu Ruoxue's way.
"Back to the emperor, yesterday the four princes found the courtiers and said that they would discuss some ways to alleviate stomach problems with the courtiers, and then the four princes took the courtiers to his courtyard in the suburbs."
"Unexpectedly, I met a bandit on the way there, and the situation was very urgent at that time, and the fourth prince fought with the bandit regardless of his own safety, saved the courtier, and was almost injured." Mu Ruoxue said, and then showed a look of guilt.
Although this is not the case, if Mu Ruoxue tells the truth, Nangong Jie will only be reprimanded at most, and his loss will be great, and the most important thing is that he does not want to marry Nangong Jie.
When Nangong Jie heard Mu Ruoxue's words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Then what happened when you went to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning to propose?" Immediately, the emperor looked at Nangong Jie Dao.
"Father, the son of the minister went to propose marriage, but the son really likes Ruoxue." Nangong Jie said.
"Like! If you like you, you can ignore the royal decency, go to the street to propose, and then be rejected, do you really dare to do anything! The emperor looked at Nangong Jie and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, the four princes were courtiers yesterday, and the courtiers were very moved, but the courtiers didn't have the intention of being the four princesses, and it was really helpless to refuse the four princes, please let the emperor calm his anger." Seeing this, Mu Ruoxue sobbed directly after speaking, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Although Mu Ruoxue was crying on the surface, she glanced at Nangong Jie with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but this action was seen by Bai Zixu, who was standing aside.
"That's it, get up!" The Emperor looked at the three people who were kneeling on the ground.
"You're a little impetuous, you just stay in the house these days and think about it!" Immediately, the emperor looked at Nangong Jie Dao.
"Yes." Nangong Jie said, and then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall under the guidance of the emperor's eyes, and when he walked past Mu Ruoxue's side, he glanced at Mu Ruoxue, and it happened that Mu Ruoxue also looked at him, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Nangong Jie was a little chilled by Mu Ruoxue's smile, and immediately withdrew his eyes and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Don't mention this matter in the future, you may not have been to see the Queen Mother for a long time, she has been in poor health recently, and she misses you very much, you go and see her!" Then the emperor said to Mu Ruoxue.
"Yes, the courtiers will go to visit the Queen Mother." Mu Ruoxue stopped sobbing and replied.
"Alright, alright, you all go down!" Then the emperor looked at Bai Zixu and Mu Ruoxue.
When the two heard this, they withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and went all the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom, but neither of them spoke.
Mu Ruoxue doesn't seem to have seen the Queen Mother since she crossed over, and just after listening to the emperor's tone, the relationship between the Queen Mother and herself seems to be very good.
"Don't think about today's matter, the emperor values the royal dignity the most, and this time the incident is Nangong Jie's fault first, the emperor called you to the palace, just to beat you." Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue's contemplative appearance, thinking that she was still thinking about what had just happened.
"I know that, otherwise he wouldn't have let us go so easily." Mu Ruoxue came back to her senses and looked at Bai Zixu.
Bai Zixu saw this situation and didn't say anything more.
Soon, the two of them came to Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother lived.
The palace maid was very happy to see that it was Mu Ruoxue and Bai Zixu, and took the two of them directly to the back room.
At this time, the Queen Mother was leaning on the bed, and the maids were feeding the Queen Mother decoction, and the Queen Mother looked a little pale, but the whole person was very kind.
"The courtiers have seen the Queen Mother." Mu Ruoxue saluted.
"Ruoxue, Zixu, it's you! Come here! When the Queen Mother saw Mu Ruoxue and Bai Zixu, she immediately smiled and said, looking very happy.
Then Mu Ruoxue sat on the side of the Queen Mother's bed.
"Ruoxue and Zixu, you two haven't entered the palace to see the mourning family for a long time, have you forgotten the mourning family?" The Queen Mother took Murong Xue's hand and said angrily.
In the end, the palace maid fed the Queen Mother another mouthful of medicine, but the Queen Mother blocked her back and shook her head.
"How could it be, there have been a lot of things in the past few days, but now I'm not in the palace? How could I have forgotten the Queen Mother? Mu Ruoxue said with a smile, her first impression of the Queen Mother was not bad.
"That's right, how could we forget the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is getting younger and younger now." Bai Zi said with a false smile.
"Hahaha, you're going to make fun of the mourners!" The Queen Mother looked at Bai Zi and said with a smile.
"Only children are afraid of hardship and refuse to take medicine, and the Queen Mother is like this now, isn't she getting younger and younger." Bai Zixu took the medicine bowl in the palace maid's hand, took another bite and handed it to the queen mother and said with a smile.
"After taking so much medicine, it doesn't get any better, and people are like this when they get old, and whatever medicine they take doesn't work." The Queen Mother still shook her head and did not take medicine.
Seeing this, Bai Zixu directly put down the medicine bowl, and didn't plan to feed the Queen Mother again, but just sighed.
"Queen Mother, don't say that, it will definitely get better." Mu Ruoxue looked at the Queen Mother and smiled.
"Feel free, you are the only one who comforts the mourning family like this." Suddenly, the Queen Mother looked at Mu Ruoxue, but called out the name of Mu Ruoxue's mother, Shen Suixin.
Everyone present was puzzled.
I saw that the Queen Mother looked at Mu Ruoxue for a while, her face suddenly became nervous, and she said, "Do whatever you want, you go quickly!" As he spoke, he pushed Mu Ruoxue out.
Mu Ruoxue was shocked by the Queen Mother's sudden action.
"Queen Mother, I'm Ruoxue!" Mu Ruoxue looked at the Queen Mother and said.
The Queen Mother looked at Mu Ruoxue seriously again and said: "It's because the mourning family is sick and confused, you are really like your mother." ”
Immediately, he said: "The mourning family is a little tired today, Ruoxue, go back!" ”
Mu Ruoxue and Bai Zi left Cining Palace when they heard this, but Mu Ruoxue was a little curious about the Queen Mother's reaction today, and was thinking that there was a sudden commotion in the Imperial Garden.
