Chapter 18: The Thing of the Lost Soul

"Who!?"

Mu Zilian was awakened, and as soon as she spoke, someone covered her mouth.

"Shhhh ”

The figure of the second prince, Shen Zhi, appeared in Minghua Palace at this moment, if outsiders saw it, what kind of shock would they be? But Mu Zilian saw it, but she was very calm.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Zilian sat up and made up a little without panicking. Shen Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, sat down beside her without hesitation, and reached out to wrap his hand around her waist.

"I heard that you were taught a lesson in public by the queen mother a few days ago?"

It's okay that Shen Zhi didn't mention this, and as soon as he mentioned Mu Zilian, he immediately slapped his hand away, and said angrily: "It was you who promised me that you would definitely help me take revenge on Mu Yan, so I agreed to join forces with you and come to this deep palace wall, willing to give up my freedom." I told you a long time ago, Shen Li's whole heart is on Mu Yan, it is impossible to look at me, you don't believe it, and you still let me come here to ask for fun. Now that you see it, Mu Yan has Shen Li's support and doesn't take me seriously at all. Don't talk about revenge on her, what's the difference between me and being sent to the cold palace now?"

Shen Zhi stretched out his index finger against Mu Zilian's lips, and said comfortingly: "My little beauty, are you carried away by anger? You don't want to think about it, she has liked my third brother since she was a child, and finally married him, thinking that she would be happy to come to the end, but in the end she ended up being used and framed. Even if they were together again later, they had gone through too many hardships. Now she is a noble country, but it is all in exchange for pain. A heart is dug out, and there can be several openings on it. And what about you? You didn't do anything, just a few words, and let Shen Li marry you, do you really think Mu Yan doesn't hate you in your heart?"

When Mu Zilian heard this, she also felt reasonable. But he was still dissatisfied: "So what? Shen Li is now spoiling her and protecting her, and he doesn't even look at me, how can I fight with her?"

Shen Zhi sneered: "This kind of thing is just a fresh thing, where is the naΓ―ve single-mindedness? The reason why my third brother loves Mu Yan so much is just guilty." Of course, it is impossible for you to win Shen Li's heart in a short period of time, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. I learned that the two of them will be leaving for Night City in three days to attend the 100th birthday of the grandson of the old Yejun, and the date of their return has not yet been determined. I waited too long for this opportunity, and it was a mistake to fail to catch Mu Yan last time, since their husband and wife want to be mandarin ducks with the same fate, I will fulfill them. This time, I will definitely let them leave the palace with their lives, and they will not be able to return!"

Mu Zilian's eyes widened: "You want to kill the king and usurp the throne?"

Shen Zhi smiled: "What? Otherwise, if I join forces with you, what do you think I want to do?

"You-"

"Don't worry, little beauty~ If I ascend the throne as king in the future, I will not abandon you. I'm afraid you won't be able to sit on the queen's seat, but the identity of the concubine can still be given to you. ”

Ever since Mu Zilian came into contact with Shen Zhi, she knew that this person was not a good person. But resentment gets carried away and makes her desperate. Now it's ready to go back. Thinking of the crazy mother at home, she gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "Say, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Zhi picked up her jaw and praised: "Even if it is a concubine, it seems that there is a smart mind inherited from the Mu family." ”

Mu Zilian avoided in disgust, a little impatient. "Something to say, the palace maids will come over later, show them, I see how you are!"

Shen Zhi shrugged his shoulders, no longer bored with himself, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

"Find a way to mix this medicine into the food for Shen Li to eat, and then ...... Leave him with you for the night. ”

"Heh~" Mu Zilian sneered: "This is impossible." Shen Li is either in the imperial study or in the Weiyang Palace every night, and he will never come to my Minghua Palace. ”

Shen Zhi shook his head: "There are no absolute things in this world, only whether you are willing to work hard and dare to do it." Little beauty, even if you hate Mu Yan, you are sisters after all. Didn't anyone tell you that you were ...... It's actually a bit similar to your sister. This thing I've given you isn't a poison, it's just some psychedelic powder that makes you feel like you're going to be in the air. What you have to do is actually very simple, that is, let my third brother have a meal at your place. Who can guarantee what will happen after that? Maybe he's drunk and thinks you're her. Maybe he's suddenly obsessed with you, and he's willing to stay?"

Mu Zilian understood what Shen Zhi meant, but she didn't understand what the purpose of using this medicine at this moment was, she looked at the small celadon bottle, thinking of Shen Liruo's disappointed expression when she thought that Shen Liruo had really spent a night with her. I couldn't help but reach out and take it.

The corners of Shen Zhi's mouth raised an exaggerated amplitude, and after getting up and dropping a kiss on the top of Mu Zilian's head, he turned around and left from the secret passage. After a while, the palace maid knocked on the door of the house, and Mu Zilian suddenly woke up, and after hiding the bottle in a panic, she settled down and let the palace maid enter the house.

"Yuncai, go and ask Gonggong Chen where His Majesty is having dinner tonight. ”

The sudden sentence made the little palace maid a little stunned. In fact, almost everyone in the palace knows His Majesty's routine of work and rest, and there is no need to follow Gonggong Chen, who is serving, to inquire about the situation. Every day, there are basically those places, the Golden Palace, the Imperial Study, the Weiyang Palace, and the back garden.

The Golden Palace is the place where you go to court every day, and the Imperial Study is the place where you deal with state affairs. Weiyang Hall is the queen's bedroom, and the back garden is a place to walk with the queen in your spare time. As for the meal, it should be either in the imperial study or in the Weiyang Palace.

But as a minion, since the master has spoken, he should do it anyway. So Yun Cai answered in a daze, and immediately prepared to go out. But as soon as he walked a few steps, he was shouted again.

"Wait!" Mu Zilian called out to the little palace maid, and the hexagram changed in an instant. "You don't need to go to Gonggong Chen, you go directly to Weiyang Hall and ask the queen if she is dining with Your Majesty today?"

Yun Cai was stunned again, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he raised his legs and left. This time he didn't take two steps, but he was stopped by shouting again.

"Wait!" Mu Zilian stood up, straightened her clothes, exhaled, and muttered to herself, "Forget it, I'll go by myself." Since you want to act, you naturally have to be sincere. After all, at the end of a good show, you can know who is the real protagonist. My dear sister, don't let me down. ”

"Let's go, go to Weiyang Palace. ”

"Yes. ”
