After the emperor left, Mu Xize really lay on Ye Ningxiang's bed very comfortably and fell asleep. Ye Ningxiang couldn't run to wake him up and then sleep on the bed by herself, and she didn't want to see this face, so she spent the whole afternoon shaking in the courtyard, helping other palace people to do their work, and finally she was so bored that she ran to follow a group of palace people to bid farewell to Mama Cui.

I saw that Mama Cui had a handful of snot and tears, carrying a large bag of luggage on her left shoulder, and a heavy cloth bag on her right shoulder, Ye Ningxiang could see that the cloth bag should be the pension money rewarded by the Internal Affairs Bureau. The palace people also showed sad expressions very appropriately, and some even squeezed out one or two tear petals, crying that they didn't want Mama Cui to leave. In such a scene, the expressionless Ye Ningxiang looked very different.

Mama Cui sobbed a few times and said, "Ye Ningxiang, what are you doing here?"

"Mama Cui, I naturally came to see you off like them! By the way, I would like to remind you again, you must learn to follow the right master in the future. Ye Ningxiang said seriously.

"Ye Ningxiang, what do you mean by this?" Mama Cui was angered by Ye Ningxiang's words, and said in an extremely ugly tone.

"What do I mean, don't you understand? Mama Cui is the princess of the king, and for Wang Liyue, it can be said that she has worked hard and dutifully, and now none of the masters you have served faithfully have seen you off, so it can be seen that they have not taken you to heart at all. Isn't this your sorrow when you say this?" Ye Ningxiang replied calmly.

"Don't say it, don't say it. Mama Cui covered her face with her hands, and no longer listened to the palace people's goodbyes, and walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

By the time Ye Ningxiang returned to the bedroom again, it was already late at night, Mu Xize was still sleeping, Ye Ningxiang thought that it was not a way to go on like this, so she cautiously walked to the cabinet with the quilt, and gently took out a quilt and prepared to go to Su Qingqing's room to squeeze for a night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, his lowered head hit a person's stomach, Ye Ningxiang was shocked, and raised her head suddenly, even more shocked, that person turned out to be Mu Xize who was still asleep in bed just now.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night with a quilt?" Mu Xize said with a wicked smile.

"You, how do you know that I am holding a quilt?" Ye Ningxiang said angrily and suspiciously.

"I'm blind and deaf. While speaking, Mu Xize deliberately approached Ye Ningxiang, his lips almost touched Ye Ningxiang's face, and continued: "My nose and ears are very good, even if you don't have to look at me, you know what you did!" Mu Xize became more and more proud.

Ye Ningxiang became more and more angry the more she listened, and finally couldn't help but say: "Who asked you to occupy my bed, so I have to find a place to sleep." ”

Mu Xize's eyes widened, and his expression seemed to be crooked, "I think your bed is big enough, why don't we sleep together!"

Ye Ningxiang suddenly coughed twice in shock, and said, "No, no, no, I'll go out, I'll go out to sleep." ”

"Aren't you curious about what the emperor and I said alone?" Mu Xize deliberately provoked Ye Ningxiang's curiosity.

Ye Ningxiang thought that if she agreed to stay at this time, it would inevitably make Mu Xize feel that she was too good at talking, so she said very resolutely: "I don't want to." ”

However, Mu Xize's next move still made Ye Ningxiang obediently raise the white flag. Mu Xize grabbed Ye Ningxiang's clothes and deliberately said in a loud voice: "You can have pity on me, a blind man who is riddled with a sick body, can you stay and sleep with me?"

Ye Ningxiang was stunned for a moment and said, "You be quiet, don't let others hear it, it's not good if there is a misunderstanding." ”

Who knew that Mu Xize said even louder: "Ye Ningxiang, you can follow me, just sleep with me for one night!"

When Mu Xize was about to open his mouth to continue, Ye Ningxiang blocked Mu Xize's mouth with her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you." Don't shout anymore. Ye Ningxiang thought that she happened to be very curious about what the emperor said to Mu Xize, so she agreed to Mu Xize.

Hearing that Ye Ningxiang agreed to her request, Mu Xize was so happy that she almost jumped up, and then lay down on the bed and rolled several times. Ye Ningxiang looked at Mu Xize's child-like behavior, her mouth opened in shock, and she thought to herself, is this person in front of her still her former husband?

"Say, what did the emperor say to you?" Ye Ningxiang said coldly.

"Hehe, I want to know," Mu Xize sat up from the bed and gestured towards Ye Ningxiang, "Come and sit next to me." ”

Ye Ning was very fragrant, but she still sat beside him according to Mu Xize's request.

"Closer, closer. Mu Xize said with a smile.

So Ye Ningxiang leaned closer to Mu Xize again, but she obviously felt that her heart was beating faster, which was very unnatural. Mu Xize didn't speak immediately, but was silent for a while.

"What the emperor talked to me about was just hoping that I would admit my mistake to the emperor in front of the ministers, and then reinstate my lordship. Then Mu Xize smiled at Ye Ningxiang and said, "But I refused." In addition, the emperor is ready to agree to Wang Guifei's request to marry Wang Liyue to the fifth brother to ask for my opinion. ”

"What are you talking about, you want Wang Liyue to marry King Yi!" Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but say for a while.

"The emperor has always felt guilty for taking away the military power of the Wang family, and this marriage can be regarded as compensation for the Wang family, but Wang Liyue, a woman, is really much worse than my fifth brother. Mu Xize smiled slightly bitterly.

Ye Ningxiang seemed to understand the emperor's intentions, and asked Mu Xize: "So the emperor wants you to be a lobbyist and persuade His Royal Highness King Yi to marry Wang Liyue." ”

Mu Xize said with a smile: "However, I didn't agree either. ”

Ye Ningxiang felt that it was time to ask some questions about Mu Xize, so she asked directly: "I heard that the third prince was guilty of stabbing His Majesty seven years ago, but that's it!"

After Ye Ningxiang finished asking the question, she saw Mu Xize be silent for a long time, and finally replied with a smile: "You asked really straightforwardly, yes, you were convicted for this, because the emperor once again gave up his love for power." Mu Xize looked sad, judging from the cheerful appearance before, and then said lightly: "I'm tired, go to sleep first." ”

Ye Ningxiang thought to herself: What, as soon as she cut to the chase, Mu Xize made an excuse and stopped answering, could it be that she still felt guilty about herself in her previous life? But there is one thing that Ye Ningxiang has basically been confirmed, that is, the emperor should also be one of the murderers of her father.

On the second day, Mu Xize walked into the Zhaoyang Hall under the watchful eyes of the ministers, King Duan and King Xin, and sat in the closest place to the emperor according to the emperor's instructions. The people present knew that the emperor's intentions were very obvious, and the candidate for the prince would undoubtedly be produced from these three people, but Mu Xize is now seriously ill and blind, and he is not suitable to be the king of a country.

After nearly two hours of deliberations, Mu Xize felt that even if he had already left the Zhaoyang Palace, he could still feel the high-minded talk of those important ministers buzzing in his head, which made his brain hurt. At this time, I heard a little palace maid who was about ten years old say in a childish voice: "Third prince, my mother wants to invite you to go! But my mother doesn't want too many people to see it, so she asks the third prince to come with me." ”

This Concubine Li was too cautious in her work, so she made Mu Xize change into a eunuch suit, and then followed the little palace maid all the way to Guanju Palace.

Seeing Mu Xize, Concubine Li said with a smile: "Aze, I haven't seen you since you were released from prison, counting your previous expedition, we haven't seen each other for about eight years, and this time flies really fast." Let me take a good look at you!"

Mu Xize smiled slightly: "Sister Tell me something directly, I know Sister A's intentions." ”

Concubine Li smiled, her expression became serious, and she said, "I want you to help me wholeheartedly assist my son Jingyuan to ascend to the throne of God." ”

"It's certain to give it your all, but it's an unknown whether you can succeed. Then Mu Xize sighed and continued: "Actually, why should Sister get involved in this struggle that may kill her at any time, it's good to be safe!"

"What about you, aren't you the same, secretly strategizing, almost controlling most of the court, outsiders seem to think that the emperor cherishes and loves you, but in fact he doesn't dare to do anything to you. Concubine Li said as she patted Mu Xize on the shoulder, "Actually, we are all the same, and we don't want to put our fate in the hands of others." ”

But this scene was hit by Mu Jingyuan, who suddenly pushed the door in, and suddenly all the rumors and rumors he heard as a child appeared in front of him, and he didn't even speak to Concubine Li with anger on his face, and walked out of Guanju Palace with a flick of his sleeves.

"Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan!" Concubine Li shouted as she chased out of the palace, but she didn't even catch Mu Jingyuan's shadow. After returning to Guanju Palace, Mu Xize smiled helplessly and said to her: "I really don't know why Jingyuan is always so hostile to me, and I actually believe from the bottom of my heart that I have an affair with Sister A." I'm tired today, so I'll go back first. ”

Mu Jingyuan was extremely indignant in his heart, the rumors between his biological mother and his third brother were spread vividly, he didn't believe it in his heart before, but today he actually witnessed it with his own eyes.

His third brother is really his nemesis, no matter what he does, others will compare him with his third brother, and then they will unanimously conclude that if his third brother does it, he will definitely be better.

No matter how hard you work and how hard you work, there will always be a third brother who is several times stronger than you in front of you as a sample to crush your own light to the point that there is nothing left. I thought that if the emperor's birthday banquet won the favor of his father, he would have the opportunity to fight for the position of the crown prince, but only one day later, his third brother, who was seriously ill and blind, came to intervene again. Can't you even compare to such a cripple who doesn't know when he will die?

The more Mu Jingyuan thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw his anger on the stone and kicked the stone under his feet into the Crescent Lake. This kick frightened Xia Qingqing, who was sitting by the lake.

Xia Qingqing shouted, turned around and saw that it was Mu Jingyuan, the king of letters, so he put away his frightened and angry looks, and respectfully asked Mu Jingyuan for peace: "Poor concubine to His Royal Highness King Xin!"

This Mu Jingyuan liked her very much when he first saw Xia Qingqing, and felt that a beautiful person like her had condescended to the deep palace, and she was only a beauty for seven years, and she was not favored by the emperor, and she was very unhappy for her, and later learned that this Xia Qingqing was originally from Mu Xize's mansion, and Mu Xize personally dedicated it to the emperor, and her heart couldn't help but feel sympathy for this Xia Qingqing.

At this moment of extreme anger, Mu Jingyuan saw this person who was full of depression and anger like himself, and couldn't help but feel very kind, and the anger in his heart suddenly subsided by half, and said, "What is Xia Meiren doing here?"

Xia Qingqing smiled slightly: "It's been a long day, I feel very bored, I heard the old man in the palace say that this crescent moon lake is very beautiful in the late autumn, the sun shines on the water surface, and reflects the yellow of the leaves, making the whole lake look golden, so I can't help but take a look first." Then his expression suddenly became very lonely, "Seeing his reflection reflected on the lake, some Gu Ying felt sorry for himself and forgot to go back." ”

Hearing Xia Qingqing's words so sad, Mu Jingyuan made up his mind to help Xia Qingqing change the status quo, so he said to Xia Qingqing with a firm will: "If I gain power in the future, I will definitely let you live a good life." ”

Xia Qingqing felt that Mu Jingyuan's words were like a child coaxing her sister to be happy, so she replied casually: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
