Chapter 142 Confronting each other
"Mother, Ke'er always thinks that this little Shengzi is a little weird, you better be more careful." Murong Ke said subconsciously.
"Hey, in your eyes, except for the mother concubine, everyone else has problems, heh!" Concubine Ling smiled unconsciously.
"Concubine Ling, Your Highness, this is also for your own good, there is a way to be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, Niangniang should be more careful." Gu Yue'er couldn't help but persuade.
"Well, okay, this concubine remembers." Concubine Ling watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and she looked happy in her heart, so she unconsciously said: "I've been standing outside for a while, and this concubine feels tired, so go and rest first, and you can walk around this courtyard if you have nothing to do." ”
Concubine Ling wanted to leave a chance for the two of them to be alone, thinking that Murong Ke and Gu Yue'er were not stupid people, so they naturally knew her intentions, so they nodded in agreement.
"Wood, help the mother to rest, and help the mother make a cup of tea to calm the nerves and nourish the brain!" Seeing this, Murong Ke couldn't help but command.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing Concubine Ling leaving, Murong Ke couldn't help but sigh. In this palace, he has no other relatives except his mother, so as long as his mother is safe, he can be at ease.
"Your Highness, why did you sigh suddenly?" Gu Yue'er asked.
"It's okay, His Royal Highness just doesn't want the mother concubine to worry." Murong Ke diverted the topic and didn't want to speak anymore.
"Your Highness, when are you going to talk to Concubine Ling about us?" Gu Yue'er has been here for some time, but she appeared as a bystander, so she naturally had some scheming in her heart.
Although she can endure it for a while, it doesn't mean that this matter can pass like this, after all, she also hopes that she can marry Mingmei and become Murong Ke's woman in a dignified manner, and this is also the wish of every woman.
"I'll find time to tell my mother, don't be too anxious, there is a way that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you should know this." Murong Ke couldn't help but warn.
He didn't fully believe in the woman in front of him, after all, they were just using each other, he didn't know what the reason was why this Gu Yue'er desperately wanted to become his woman, but for the sake of her usefulness, he didn't care about it for the time being, and believed that everything would fall into place.
"Your Highness, Yue'er treats you sincerely, and I hope Your Highness can also treat Yue'er sincerely. Yue'er is far away from her homeland, she doesn't ask for anything, she just asks for the heart of His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not disappoint Yue'er. Gu Yue'er looked at Murong Ke steadily, there was a slight sadness in her eyes, yes, she had liked him for a long time, but he didn't know that he couldn't tell him directly now, so it could only cause a gap between the two people.
Feeling the true feelings in Gu Yue'er's eyes, Murong Ke's heart didn't melt a little, maybe he was thinking too much, this woman might treat him sincerely, but he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, how could he dare to indulge in children's affairs. Besides, the crown prince is a lesson from the past, and he can't follow in his footsteps, thinking of this, Murong Ke said: "Miss Yue'er, His Royal Highness is a man, and he can't just be a child with his children's private affairs, please forgive me for this, but His Royal Highness can assure you that apart from you, His Royal Highness will not have any thoughts about other women, you can rest assured." ”
Seeing Murong Ke say this, Gu Yue'er felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. After all, she is not the kind of ordinary daughter's family, knowing that Murong Ke, as a descendant of the royal family, has a lot of helplessness, so she can't help but be considerate: "Since His Royal Highness said so, Yue'er will understand." Don't worry, Your Highness, Yue'er won't affect you, Yue'er just wants to help His Highness fulfill his wish and make His Highness the kind of person he wants to be. ”
"Thank you, Miss Yue'er!" Surprised by her deep understanding of righteousness, Murong Ke couldn't help but be grateful, and then said: "This Ziwei Hall is actually quite beautiful, Miss Yue'er must not have visited much, it is better for His Royal Highness to take Miss Yue'er around." ”
"Yes, okay." Hearing Murong Ke say this, Gu Yue'er was not happy, she subconsciously grabbed his arm, and there was a smile in her eyebrows.
In other words, after the celebration banquet was dispersed, Murong Ba took Ming An to leave, and when he passed by the Huanyi Bureau, he suddenly bumped into Gonggong Chen, so he couldn't help but delay for a while.
"Grandpa Chen, how are you doing lately?" Murong Ba couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the old slave is fine, I don't know how His Highness is?" Gonggong Chen couldn't help but ask with concern.
"That's it." Murong Ba said softly, anyway, these days are not lukewarm, but today opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he thought that the crown prince was fighting with his father for a woman.
"Your Highness, the old slave seems to have a clue." Gonggong Chen approached Murong Ba and whispered.
"You're talking about my mother." Murong Ba asked rhetorically.
"Exactly!" Gonggong Chen nodded.
"Tell me more." Murong Ba asked again.
At this time, Gonggong Chen looked around and there was no one else, so he whispered: "The old slave met Jiu'er, a slave who used to serve the emperor, and she was locked up in the court for many years because of the plague. It took a lot of effort for the old slave to learn from the slave's mouth that it was indeed the queen's mother's poisonous hand to Concubine Zhuang, if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, the old slave can find that Jiu'er to confront you face to face. ”
"Is that true?" Murong Ba didn't expect that it was really Queen Luo Yunfeng's means, so he didn't feel angry from it, and he couldn't wait to chop up the dog queen immediately.
"Really, Your Highness can come to the old slave tonight, and the old slave will find that Jiu'er to confront you, and everything will be revealed." Gonggong Chen said carefully.
"Okay, that's it." Murong Ba nodded unconsciously.
"Your Highness, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and the old slave sees that it is not easy for you to stay for a long time, so it is better to leave early." Gonggong Chen persuaded again.
"It's okay, take care of your father-in-law!" After Murong Ba finished speaking, he left in a hurry with Ming An, and didn't stop until he left the Huanyi Bureau for a long time.
Seeing the anger and pain on Murong Ba's face, Ming An couldn't help but comfort: "Your Highness, don't be too sad, after all, Concubine Zhuang has been doing this for a long time, and you have to mourn." ”
"How can His Royal Highness not be sad, when he thinks that his mother concubine was killed by that cheap person, His Royal Highness can't wait to dismantle her." Speaking of this, Murong Ba unconsciously laughed again, and he said gloomily: "Thinking about it, that cheap person has also done too much evil, and finally there is retribution, she didn't expect that she gave birth to a good son, and she actually competed with her father for a woman, hum, now it's good, it has become a big joke in the entire Xiyan Kingdom." After speaking, Murong Ba unconsciously looked up to the sky and laughed again.
"Your Highness, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't repay it, the time has not come, I think she has done a lot of evil, and now she has slowly received retribution, Your Highness should not be too sad." Ming An said again.
"Well, His Royal Highness knows it in his heart, thinking that after this incident, his father will definitely be disheartened by the prince, and this is the time for His Royal Highness to behave."
Hearing Murong Ba say this, Ming An was a little puzzled, so he couldn't help asking, "What does His Highness mean ......?"
"You'll find out soon." Murong Ba didn't explain in detail, he had his own plans in his heart.
At night, there was silence in the palace, only the palace lamps burned as usual, but the jumping flames flickered and flickered, and seemed to show some uneasiness.
"Your Highness, this way!" At this time, Gonggong Chen saw Murong Ba appear, so he unconsciously reminded in a low voice, and seeing this, Murong Ba and Ming An cautiously flashed in.
Soon, they stopped in front of a hidden firewood door, and then Gonggong Chen gently opened the locked door, and walked in with the palace lamp in his hand, and then beckoned Murong Ba to come in.
The people in the chaimen were obviously a little surprised by their sudden visit, and couldn't help but subconsciously scream, but Gonggong Chen covered his mouth, and only heard the person squeaking, but he couldn't speak.
"If you want to live, don't be silent!" Chen Gonggong warned, and when he saw this, the man slowly stopped struggling, and then looked at the visitor in horror.
"You're Jiu'er?" Murong Ba couldn't help asking.
I saw that the woman in tattered clothes couldn't help nodding, and then said in horror: "Who are you, what is the matter with me?" ”
Very good, although he looks a little crazy and stupid, but he is not ambiguous when he speaks, obviously everything is normal, Murong Ba saw this and asked: "Are you the palace maid who used to serve by the queen's side?" ”
"Exactly!" The woman's eyes were slick, staring at Murong Ba intently, although she didn't know who the brocade-clothed boy in front of her was, but from the way she was dressed, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Do you know about Concubine Zhuang's death?" Murong Ba asked again.
"Who the hell are you?" Although she was forced to ask by Gonggong Chen before, Jiu'er was not afraid, but at this time, seeing Murong Ba asking again, she couldn't help but feel that the problem was serious.
said that although he was imprisoned in the court because of the plague, it is easy to say that he has saved his life over the years. I don't know if the queen looked at her or God treated her well, but no one asked about the things of the year, but at this time, it was turned out again, and Jiu'er suddenly felt that her life was in danger.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell Your Highness the truth one by one, Your Highness will definitely spare you from death, but if you have the slightest deception, I will send you to the West Heaven tonight!" Gonggong Chen said intimidatingly on the side.
"Your Highness? Could it be that you are the son born to Concubine Zhuang! That Jiu'er still has a memory, she looked at Murong Ba's eyebrows, and suddenly felt that she was indeed a little similar to Concubine Zhuang.
"Hmph, you're smart!" Gonggong Chen couldn't help but snort when he saw this.
"Your Royal Highness spares her life, the slave and maid are not intentional, it is the queen mother who asked the slave and maid to do this, the slave and the maid know that they are wrong, the slave and the maid will not dare anymore, and please Your Highness not to kill the slave and maid." Seeing this, Jiu'er hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and the head was banging louder than one, just eager to break it.
"You get up and tell Your Highness what happened, and maybe Your Highness will let you go in a moment's kindness." Murong Ba looked at Jiu'er and said forbearingly.
