Chapter 187: Back to the Old Place
On the way back to the palace from the Damingyue Palace, Ye Ningxiang was as high-profile as she was, not only was she not as sneaky as when she sneaked away to the Damingyue Palace, but she was hugging each other from front to back, as if she was in charge of the family. Behind her were Mu Bai's subordinates, who had captured King Yu not long ago, and Mu Bai himself.
Ye Ningxiang didn't want to go to Yingdu in such a high-profile way, but Mu Bai insisted on doing so, because only in this way could more people know that Da Rui's queen was in danger and finally wiped out King Yu and his cadres who had been on the run for more than two years, so as to highlight Ye Ningxiang's exploits even more.
Ye Ningxiang couldn't understand why the old man in front of her, who had known her for less than a year, would help her so recklessly, and would do his best for her sake, looking at the people who followed her tirelessly, as well as the weak and reluctant Mu Bai, Ye Ningxiang's heart was sour, a little reluctant, but more indescribably moved.
The moat at the gate of the city was surrounded by people, originally Ye Ningxiang thought that they knew her identity in advance, and deliberately waited there to see the beauty of the Empress Ruiguo, but she didn't expect that she was wrong.
The attention of those people was not on Ye Ningxiang at all, but on the moat, and their eyes fell to the corner of the moat, discussing and pointing at each other.
Ye Ningxiang looked at Mu Bai inexplicably, but saw Mu Bai shrug his shoulders, like Ye Ningxiang, he didn't know anything about what was happening in front of him.
Walking to the gate of the city, Ye Ningxiang realized why these people were talking about it around the moat, because there was a corpse floating on the moat.
The man seemed to have been dead for some time, because of the soaking of the river, his skin and flesh were still in human form, Ye Ningyan thought that this person should have been corrupted beyond recognition.
Because she was curious about the identity of the dead body, Ye Ningxiang was not in a hurry to enter the city, but waited until the officers and soldiers guarding the city carefully salvaged the body ashore. When the soldier flipped the corpse over and made the corpse's face face face to the sky, Ye Ningxiang was instantly shocked, rushed to the front of the crowd, and carefully studied the soaked corpse.
The person who died in the moat turned out to be Ji Beihuan.
After getting a way to put Xiao Qingyu to death from Ji Beihuan's mouth, Ye Ningxiang never paid any attention to Ji Beihuan, who was already crippled and blind, and now she suddenly saw him die tragically in the moat, which inevitably surprised her heart.
Mu Bai patted Ye Ningxiang's shoulder at the right time, and helped Ye Ningxiang who was squatting on the ground up.
"Queen Ye, he deserved it because he fell into such a fate, you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself. ”
"Guilt and self-blame?"
Ye Ningxiang's face was full of doubts about these four words, as if she didn't understand why she felt guilty and blamed herself because of Ji Beihuan's death.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, since this matter has nothing to do with us, let's go into the city early, the time drags on too long, I'm afraid there will be more accidents. ”
Hearing Ye Ningxiang's response, Mu Bai suddenly remembered that Ye Ningxiang in front of him was no longer the little Ye in the past, let alone the Xiao Su in the past, the love pill made her ruthless, and the kindness and compassion in her heart had long been gone, as for the guilt and self-blame, naturally there would never be any more.
Thinking of this, Mu Bai's eyes were filled with sadness, which made people feel heartache when they saw it. Ye Ningxiang is not the Ye Ningxiang of the past, but he is Mu Xize who is willing to guard her side at all times.
Ye Ningxiang did not inform Xiao Qingyu in advance, and directly presented King Yu, who was firmly trapped in the iron box, to Tingwei. But what she didn't expect was that Xiao Qingyu was already waiting for Ye Ningxiang's arrival at the door of Tingwei early, except for his thin face, his mental state looked good.
"Ning Xiang, you've worked hard all the way. ”
Xiao Qingyu smiled, and she couldn't hear the slightest hint of annoyance that Ye Ningxiang left the palace without permission, but instead showed a little worry.
Ning Xiang went out of the palace without authorization and designed Mu Bai to capture King Yu, and the emperor was worried, and he hoped that the emperor would punish him. ”
"Ning Xiang's capture of King Yu is a great contribution to our Da Rui, and it is too late for me to reward, how can I punish him?"
As he spoke, Xiao Qingyu had naturally taken Ye Ningxiang into his arms, but his sharp eyes looked at Mu Bai vigilantly, as if he could see through Mu Bai's mind at a glance.
Yuwang's mouth was sticked, but he still struggled, and let out a whining sound, as if he wanted to say something important in public. However, Ye Ningxiang would never give him such a chance again, and after glaring at King Yu viciously, she looked at Xiao Qingyu with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this King Yu has repeatedly harmed me in the past, and almost made Ning Xiang lose his life, such a disaster can't be left, why don't you parade King Yu on the street and put him to death?"
Xiao Qingyu was first taken aback by Ye Ningxiang's ruthless approach, and then showed a warm smile and responded: "Okay, just according to Ningxiang's meaning." ”
For a long time, Xiao Qingyu has been too merciful to those rebels who rebel against him in order to show his benevolence, and the most severe thing is to send them to remote places to do hard labor, and he has never used the most cruel punishment to deal with traitors like this.
However, King Yu has been a despicable villain from beginning to end, and he is not worthy of admiration at all, and it is very suitable to use him to kill chickens and monkeys, so when Xiao Qingyu heard Ye Ningxiang's decision, he agreed to her without hesitation.
King Yu, who was tied into zongzi here, could no longer pretend to be calm, and when he heard the moment Ling Chi was executed, his eyes widened, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and he tried his best to make a kneeling posture towards Xiao Qingyu, trying to ask Xiao Qingyu to be lenient for the sake of the plague in Rinzhou, even if he was demoted to a cheap slave and a coolie for life, he would accept it with gratitude.
He really couldn't accept that the prince, who had enjoyed all the glory and wealth, was cut off by the executioner with a big waist and a round waist in front of everyone, and all the flesh and blood on his body were seen by the lowly people.
However, no one paid attention to his crying, Xiao Qingyu pulled Ye Ningxiang's head and got into the carriage without going back, and headed towards the palace, and King Yu was rudely escorted into the prisoner car by the soldiers of the Tingwei Mansion after Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Qingyu got into the carriage, and walked towards the most prosperous street in Yingdu without even changing their prison clothes.
After seeing Ye Ningxiang leave, Mu Bai was always depressed, and did not follow his subordinates back to the Daming Moon Palace, but wandered aimlessly on the streets of Yingdu alone.
What is gone is gone after all, the current Ye Ningxiang will no longer be emotional, let alone fall in love with him again, all she has recorded in her heart is hatred, she lives all for hatred, Xiao Qingyu and him are just her Ye Ningxiang's stepping stones, when they lose their use value, I am afraid that Ye Ningxiang will also use such cruel means as executing King Yu today to put them to death without hesitation.
Hey, feelings have never been fair, knowing that Ye Ningxiang only has power, interests, and hatred in his heart, he still can't help but get close to her, and can't help but love her and protect her with all his might.
Even though he has a mirror for everything, he can't help but feel sentimental.
In love, no one really cares about gains and losses, and has no desires. If a person really loves another person with all his heart, then he must be expecting the other person to turn his head and fall in love with him day and night, even if he looks at him more. To say that the person doesn't care about the love given by the other person is just to be heartbroken by the other party.
Yingdu's most prosperous entertainment venue, the Drunken Dream Building, is still as usual, the style is brilliant but gentle, and it is already full of endless guests in the daytime. Casinos, brothels, wineries, and restaurants are all available in this drunken dream building, and everyone who comes here has also interpreted this drunken dream and death to the extreme.
Unconsciously, Mu Bai walked in here alone, some nostalgic, some sentimental, his fingers gently stroked the beams and pillars painted with gold powder, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
This drunken dream and death building was built by his master Qin Mingyue, and it was also the largest stronghold of Mingyue Pavilion in Darui, but now that his master has died, and he has become a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, but this building is still as brilliant as it once was, and it makes people intoxicated as soon as they enter.
"Sister Shuang, there is a strange old man in our building, who wears a mask and doesn't say anything, and keeps touching the big pillar, as if he is not in good spirits. ”
A little girl who had just entered the Drunken Dream Death Building saw such a strange phenomenon for the first time, and told their steward in a little panic that now the owner of the Drunken Dream Death Building, Miss Frost.
Hearing the little girl say that the old man wearing a mask changed suddenly, Hanshuang's face changed suddenly, and he didn't care whether the clothes and headdress were neat and decent, so he hurriedly ran to the courtyard where Mu Bai was.
A few months ago, Hanshuang learned that a family member appeared out of thin air in Damingyue Palace, an old man named Mu Bai, and since then she has suspected in her heart that this Mu Bai is Mu Xize, who she has been secretly in love with for many years, and she even went to Gu Liancheng to inquire in person, but was avoided by Gu Liancheng, and since then, the idea that Mu Bai is Mu Xize has been ingrained in her heart.
Suddenly, this person who could prove what she was thinking came to her drunken dream and death building quietly, how could she not be surprised, how could she not be excited!
"First...... Mr. ”
The excessive excitement made her speak a little unspeakable, and she even gasped for breath a few times before she could barely calm her mood.
Mu Bai showed a bitter smile, his eyes were full of sentimentality, and his voice was low, as if he had experienced too many shocking stories.
"I just had a free day and wanted to go around here. ”
Even though his face changed drastically and his voice changed drastically, with a woman's unique sixth sense, Hanshuang still confirmed his identity after Mu Bai opened his mouth for the first sentence.
No matter how deep and sophisticated a person is, there will always be times when he can't control his emotions, and the frost at this time is out of control, ignoring the guests in the courtyard, he directly hugged Mu Bai's back and cried silently.
"Prince Xize, I thought you were long gone!"
Mu Bai expected that Hanshuang might find out his true identity, but he didn't expect Hanshuang to have such a big reaction, fortunately, the words he choked up and said were not so clear, everyone only knew that Hanshuang, the owner of the drunken dream and death building, suddenly lost control of his emotions and hugged an elderly uncle, but he didn't hear what Hanshuang was talking about.
"Frost, you are also a woman who has been through strong winds and waves, and if you cry in public like this, you will be ridiculed by these guests. ”
Although Mu Bai's words were harsh, his palm kept gently caressing Hanshuang's head, like a warm-hearted brother and a loving father.
After a long time, the frost calmed down his mood, and ordered someone to prepare a room, as well as good wine and food to prepare a good treat for the lost person in front of him.
"Childe, if you don't dislike it, can you stay here for a longer time, Mr. Gu, I will send someone to inform you, this place is in the center of Yingdu, and it is more conducive to Childe's actions. ”
