Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Different Prince
Danyang felt very guilty in her heart, and knew in her heart that Mu Xize said that it was okay but to comfort herself, her laxative was given to her by the most famous drug master in the Turtle Whisker Country, as long as a person would not stop leaking even if he only ate half a drop, how could Mu Xize be fine. Because he was afraid of seeing Mu Xize's tragic situation, Danyang avoided Mu Xize all afternoon.
However, Mu Xize didn't lie to her, the medicine was useful to people, but it didn't work at all for a half-human, half-demon alien like him. It's just that because Ji Beiyuan has just strengthened the bone devouring nail, his body is still very weak, and he is now resting on the soft couch.
"Every time Ji Beiyuan comes, you are like this, why do you have to find a way to seal the demonic power in your body?" Qin Xiao asked sympathetically.
"That power retains all the hatred of my mother before she died, and the anger is too heavy, if the seal is lifted," Mu Xize smiled bitterly: "I may lose my mind and kill you all." ”
"No, it won't. Hearing such an answer, Qin Xiao was a little surprised.
"Actually, I don't know what will happen to me when the seal is lifted at this time, I just know that it won't hurt people now, and if I release that demonic power, I maybe. Mu Xize said as he slowly got up.
"You're like this, where are you going!" Qin Xiao asked.
Mu Xize took out a medicine bottle from the small drawer next to the soft collapse and said with a smile: "In a while, I will take Xiao Yezi to a place." After speaking, he poured out a pill from the medicine bottle and swallowed it in one gulp, the medicine was exactly the same as the one that the emperor gave him when Mu Xize was in a coma before.
Qin Xiao sighed slightly and said, "Although that medicine has the effect of relieving pain and ventilating qi and blood, it is addictive to always eat like this!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Mu Xize said as he walked out of the room as quickly as the wind. Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes, could it be that this Mu Xize fell in love with Ye Ningxiang, this little girl!
Because they were busy cleaning the palace and making the original dilapidated palace look new, the servants and maids of the palace had been busy from morning to now, and they had just sat at the dining table to prepare for dinner. Ye Ningxiang had been hungry enough for a long time, and when she saw the fragrant rice, she didn't say a word, so she went up and devoured it. Just after a few bites, I was startled into a cold sweat by the familiar screams behind me, and I almost choked on the rice.
"Little Yezi, Little Yezi, come out quickly, go out with me!" Mu Xize held the door frame with one hand and looked in the direction of the slave maid eating with a smile. When the slaves and maids saw that it was Mu Xize, the previous laughter suddenly faded away, and they all became more solemn to show their respect for their masters.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ningxiang didn't give Mu Xize any face, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "If I don't go, you have the right to ask me to go, and I also have the right to refuse you." The other slaves and maids all put down their dishes and chopsticks, their eyes widened, and they were shocked by Ye Ningxiang's answer.
Ye Ningxiang also continued to challenge Mu Xize's bottom line, and said: "Actually, your current identity doesn't seem to be as noble as ours!" Ye Ningxiang said such words in front of a group of slaves and maids, undoubtedly giving Mu Xize a slap in the face in public, a rebel who kills the monarch without a title is not more noble than the status of slaves and maids like them.
In fact, Ye Ningxiang is not without purpose in doing this, if Ye Ningxiang said such a thing, Mu Xize is still a tolerant and conniving person, then it means that Ye Ningxiang has a very high status in Mu Xize's heart, and if she wants to explore Mu Xize's many secrets, she will have a great chance of success.
On the contrary, if Mu Xize is angry, or simply decides to kill her, it means that there is no point in staying in Ning Wangfu any longer, and with her high-profile behavior, she will definitely be discovered by Mu Xize's rivals, and it will be beneficial to help Yu Gongzi succeed when he switches to the side of his rivals.
Mu Xize was choked by her words and didn't know how to answer for a while, although his face did not show displeasure, but his face was much paler than before. After being silent for a while, Mu Xize smiled and said, "Xiao Yezi, you're right, if you don't want to go, I'll go by myself." ”
Ye Ningxiang could see that although Mu Xize didn't mean to blame himself, even though he tried his best to hide it, Ye Ningxiang could also feel the sadness and loneliness in Mu Xize's heart at this moment.
Since it has been proved that Ye Ningxiang's status in Mu Xize's heart is extraordinary, there is no need to hurt Mu Xize thoroughly at this time, so Ye Ningxiang changed her words and said: "I changed my mind, I'll go with you." ”
Hearing this, Mu Xize turned around suddenly, showed a heartfelt smile, and said, "I knew you would promise me." ”
Until he walked out of the gate of the palace, Mu Xize didn't tell Ye Ningxiang where he was going for a while, but kept using Ye Ningxiang's eyes as a guide, walking street by street for a long time.
"Since it's so far, why don't you take the carriage?" Ye Ningxiang asked as she walked a little impatiently.
Mu Xize smiled slightly embarrassedly: "If I take the carriage, I shouldn't be able to find my way." It's almost here, you can bear with it, or I'll carry you!"
"Forget it, forget it. Ye Ningxiang quickened her pace, as if she wanted to throw Mu Xize away.
"You don't know the way, it's useless to walk so fast!" Mu Xize felt that Ye Ningxiang's angry appearance was very funny, and said slightly teasingly.
Eventually, the two stopped in a very remote, secluded part of the city. Mu Xize stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then a doorman came, Mu Xize reported his name, and the doorman didn't go in to report again, so he directly let Mu Xize and Ye Ningxiang into the house.
Ye Ningxiang saw that this house was an ordinary house, and the name of this house was not hung above the main entrance, and when she walked into this house, she also felt that this courtyard was very ordinary, even a little old, and the courtyard was not big, there were only a few rooms in total, and you could see the end at a glance. In addition to the doorman who opened the door before, there was no other person in the courtyard, Ye Ningxiang was very puzzled in her heart, who would be the person Mu Xize brought to see her?
Just when Ye Ningxiang was puzzled, Mu Xize's mouth suddenly came to Ye Ningxiang's ear and whispered, "Are you curious to death now!"
Ye Ningxiang heard Mu Xize say this, glared at Mu Xize viciously, and prepared to walk away from Mu Xize and this guy.
Who knew that just as he was about to turn around and walk away, Mu Xize whispered again: "The owner of this house is my fifth brother, King Yi, Mu Jinglian. ”
Although Ye Ningxiang had heard that this King Yi was the best at calligraphy and painting, he didn't like government affairs the most, and he lived in a simple house on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would not live in a spacious and comfortable palace, but he lived in such a deserted place where he almost had to leave Jing'an City, and this house looked very old.
When Ye Ningxiang was surprised in her heart, she saw a handsome young man in ordinary clothes holding a little boy about five or six years old in his hand and greeting Mu Xize with a smile.
"Third brother, long time no see. I can't imagine that you will still remember this place after all these years. Mu Jinglian smiled while welcoming Mu Xize and Ye Ningxiang into the house, probably because he had never seen Ye Ningxiang before, so he asked, "Who is this girl?"
"The palace maid who just entered the palace this year has just been assigned to my house. Obviously a very normal sentence, it came out of Mu Xize's mouth as if Ye Ningxiang was his new favorite Mu Xize, and Ye Ningxiang felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
At this moment, Mu Jinglian happened to look at Mu Xize, who was sick and blind, and couldn't help sighing, and then said to the child: "Sitang, come and see your third uncle!"
Xiao Sitang bowed to Mu Xize very obediently and said, "Third Uncle is good!"
Mu Xize smiled and found Sitang's head with his hand, stroked it gently twice with love, and said, "Little Sitang has grown so tall!"
According to Ye Ningxiang, this King Yi's biological mother died early, because her biological mother's status was not high, and she had no relatives to speak of, and she also preferred piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she had never been involved in court politics. Probably because there are no good development prospects in politics and because he doesn't want to get married, he didn't get married until he was twenty-five years old, and he didn't even have a side concubine. It seems that this King Yi is hiding deep enough!
After Mu Xize touched Sitang, he turned to look at Mu Jinglian, his head was slightly tilted, and he glanced again, which made Ye Ningxiang a little puzzled. I saw Mu Jinglian leading Mu Xize to another room, Ye Ningxiang was about to follow but was stopped by Mu Xize: "Xiao Yezi, you play with Xiao Sitang in the courtyard for a while, and I'll come out in a while." What this means is that Ye Ningxiang will not be allowed to follow.
If you don't let me, you won't follow? When the two of them entered the room, Ye Ningxiang looked at Xiao Sitang with a wicked smile and said, "Xiao Sitang, do you want to know what your father and your third uncle are doing?"
"Yes, but they won't let us go. Si Tang showed curious and eager little eyes.
Ye Ningxiang looked at this child's very cute little face at this time, and couldn't help pinching Xiao Sitang's face for a while, thinking that this little Sitang was about to sprout out of water, but said: "It's better for us to eavesdrop!"
"Ahh ”
Ye Ningxiang muttered in her heart: Don't look at this child's young age, she is a thief, if she is found out, she will definitely put all the blame on her.
Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Sitang carefully walked to the window of the room step by step, and then carefully cut a hole in the window paper, so that Ye Ningxiang could clearly see the scene in the house.
But Xiao Sitang beside him stopped doing it, and pulled Ye Ningxiang's clothes vigorously, because Ye Ningxiang's hole was too high, and Xiao Sitang couldn't see anything at all. Ye Ningxiang glanced at Xiao Sitang fiercely, meaning that the two of them were found and couldn't find any secrets.
Ye Ningxiang faintly saw that there seemed to be a spiritual position in front of this room, and the words on it could not be read clearly, Mu Xize was holding incense in his hand at this time, and carefully inserted it into the incense burner under the guidance of Mu Jinglian, and then said: "Ah Huan, Xi Ze came to see the fifth brother, and by the way, I also came to see you, your son is now six years old and is a very clever child, you can rest assured." ”
"Time flies so fast, Ah Huan has been gone for six years. Mu Jinglian said with some sadness.
Mu Xize sighed and said, "If the emperor's people had arrived a little later at that time, Ah Huan might not have been born prematurely due to panic and caused massive bleeding." If I hadn't been in prison at that time, I would have been able to stop it from happening. ”
"After all, I should thank you, if you hadn't placed Ah Huan by my side, how could I have the love of my life!" Mu Jinglian said with a slight emotion, saying the word "beloved", tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Mu Xize smiled and said: "At that time, I wanted to use Ah Huan's beauty to confuse you and let you be used by me, but I didn't expect that the best shadow guard in my hand would be folded in your hands like this, and in the end, I didn't care about anything and only thought about living with you." ”
The Shadow Guard, the most famous spy organization in the rivers and lakes, is not very accurate to say that spies, because they are not only good at spying on intelligence in various places, but also good at assassination. And this Mu Xize turned out to be the leader of the Shadow Guard, no wonder he was not in the court and could still control most of the court.
Suddenly thinking that there was still something to ask, Mu Xize changed the topic and said, "Are you ready to marry Wang Liyue?"
What, marrying Wang Liyue, this situation is developing too fast, right? Ye Ningxiang suddenly opened her mouth wide in shock, and at the same time brought her ears closer, hoping to hear more clearly.
"Yes. I have ruined the woman's innocence, and even if I don't want to, I am responsible for her. Mu Jinglian's tone revealed all kinds of helplessness.
"If you hadn't been drugged beforehand, how could you have mistaken Wang Liyue for Ah Huan! Mu Xize seems to be reluctant for Mu Jinglian to marry Wang Liyue.
When Ye Ningxiang heard this, she immediately understood what Wang Liyue had done when she sneaked out of Zhongxiu Palace that day, and she must have listened to Wang Guifei's instructions to go to set Mu Jinglian a trap.
Mu Jinglian stopped talking, the two were silent for a while, Mu Xize felt that Ye Ningxiang had almost heard the secrets that he should hear, so he said loudly: "Little Yezi, hunched over and eavesdropping on the conversation for so long, isn't your waist sore?"
Ye Ningxiang was startled, turned her head to look at Xiao Sitang, and both of them showed a look of impending disaster.
