Chapter 22 Punish kneeling until dawn
Wang Guifei had a smug smile on her lips, and quickened her pace to walk in front of Mu Xize, who was forced to kneel on the ground by the guards. Seeing Mu Xize kneeling in front of her, Wang Guifei was even more carried away, and said with a wicked smile: "Isn't the third prince in poor health, it turns out that he is planning an arson case with two unpopular little palace maids!"
Mu Xize raised his head, and there was not much nonsense in his words: "I put the fire, and it has nothing to do with the two of them." β
Su Qingqing's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the words of the third prince, it turned out that the lover of his dreams that he wanted to see took the initiative to crash into his arms today, could it be that he and the three princes had already been destined for three lives, thinking of this, Su Qingqing didn't care whether he could pick up a life or not, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Wang Liyue, who had been standing behind Wang Guifei, saw that the two palace maids kneeling on the ground were none other than Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing, who had offended her before, and her heart suddenly became very happy, and she fanned the flames on the side and said, "Auntie, these two palace people Liyue recognize each other, they are palace people who entered the palace at the same time as Liyue. Then he pointed at Ye Ningxiang and continued: "Especially this palace person, he was just punished by Mama Cui for breaking the rules a few days ago. β
Mu Xize looked at Wang Liyue with a voice, his eyes were as cold as ice, and Wang Liyue suddenly didn't dare to speak, but Mu Xize said with a faint smile: "It seems that the arson has nothing to do with you little girl!"
At this time, Wang Guifei's eyes were full of sinister color, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and said: "Xi Ze, you are also twenty-seven years old this year, why are you getting older and more naΓ―ve!" Then leaned forward slightly, approached Mu Xize and continued: "Don't you understand that the more people you want to protect, the more I want to get rid of this truth!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Xize didn't have any anger at all, but said very regretfully: "Twenty years ago, the Wang family was so glorious, your brother Dingguo Wang Zhu just wanted to show you the jealousy in his heart, so he could coerce the emperor to kill the queen." Mu Xize sneered and said: "But now, the military power of the Dingguo Duke has been seized, the Wang family has declined, and the concubine Niangniang can only show her prestige as the head of the harem by grabbing a crime that sounds ridiculous." β
"But no matter what, you Mu Xize is now in my hands, although I can't cure your capital crimes, but I can still control their life and death. As she spoke, Wang Guifei pointed her finger at Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing, her eyes widening angrily, as if she was really going to kill them both in an instant. Su Qingqing also came back to her senses at this time, and was so frightened by Wang Guifei's words that she immediately burst into tears.
"Yes, Xi Ze is now the fish and meat under the knife of your princess, and Niangniang doesn't have to go to great lengths to send killers to Qingming Mountain to kill me now!"
The mystery in Ye Ningxiang's heart was finally solved, it turned out that the killer who assassinated herself back then, causing herself to jump off the cliff and almost lose her life, was actually sent by Wang Guifei.
"What's the point of you mentioning old things that have no evidence now. Wang Guifei was closer to Mu Xize, and her mouth was almost attached to Mu Xize's head, but her tone was even more ruthless: "As long as you kowtow like this palace and beg for mercy, begging me not to kill these two palace people, this palace will let them go." β
Mu Xize sighed slightly, and really kowtowed to the princess, and said, "Ask the princess to raise her hand and let the two of them go." β
Ye Ningxiang was very surprised, Mu Xize hated Wang Guifei the most in the past, even if Wang Guifei killed thousands of palace people, Mu Xize would not kowtow to Wang Guifei and beg for mercy, but now he doesn't want half of his face, he kowtows and begs for mercy very lowly, is it really that these seven years in prison have consumed his previous arrogance and nobility to the point that there is nothing left?
I only heard Wang Guifei laugh proudly: "Come on, drag these two palace people who are causing trouble in the palace out and kill them with a rod." β
The guard who carried out the order had not yet moved, but Mu Xize easily avoided the knife around his neck, stood up suddenly, and took two steps forward, almost squeezing Wang Guifei down, but his eyes that were not focused were full of murderous intent at this time, although the corners of his mouth always had a shallow smile, it made people feel cold, "I kowtow to you and beg for mercy not because I am afraid of you, but just because I have mercy on you, an old woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has lost favor." β
"What are you going to do, Yulin Army, come on, the third prince is going to rebel again!" Wang Guifei was suddenly terrified, and almost hugged Wang Liyue. However, the guards also seemed to be shocked by Mu Xize's sudden deterrent, and they stood there and did not dare to step forward.
"Don't you want to think about it, what can I rely on to survive as a rebel who kills the king?" Mu Xize's tone of voice was even colder, and the killing intent in his eyes was even worse, which made Wang Guifei feel that a cool breeze went straight through the bone joints, and she was full of coldness, and she was very uncomfortable.
At this moment, an old man with white hair suddenly came to Wang Guifei's side, and he didn't see this old man exert his strength, Mu Xize seemed to be pushed violently, popped out of Lao Yuan, and then fell heavily to the ground, Ye Ningxiang could vaguely hear the sound of Mu Xize falling to the ground after the bone joints were dislocated.
Take a closer look at the white-haired old man, that person is clearly Ji Beiyuan, the national teacher who saved him in Qingming Mountain, seven years ago Ji Beiyuan was still full of black hair, and he didn't look more than fifty years old, but after seven years, now that he looks at it, he feels that Ji Beiyuan is already an old man in his old age, how is this possible?
Just when Ye Ningxiang was suspicious, Ji Beiyuan said very seriously: "Don't panic, concubine Niangniang, now that the fire in this imperial garden has been extinguished, the person who set the fire will not die, please raise your noble hand!"
Wang Guifei knew that Ji Beiyuan had always been the emperor's most trusted person, and he had not changed for decades, and Ji Beiyuan himself had almost fought for Da Li, and he had aged like this in just a few years, so he didn't dare to refute Ji Beiyuan's face, and said with a slight smile: "The national teacher is reasonable, just punish the three of them to kneel here, think about it until dawn!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left with Wang Liyue.
Ji Beiyuan walked up to Mu Xize, who was half-lying on the ground, and said, "You can do it yourself." β
Just as Ji Beiyuan turned to leave, Mu Xize suddenly laughed, the laughter was very sad, Ye Ningxiang had never heard Mu Xize laugh like this, such laughter would feel very distressing even if it was heard by an irrelevant person, even a person like her, who had a deep hatred with him, sounded uncomfortable.
Ji Beiyuan paused slightly, and then didn't look back, but faintly heard him sigh, and continued to walk forward. "Anyway, I still want to thank you for saving their lives!" Mu Xize suddenly said calmly.
Su Qingqing was probably frightened by Mu Xize's previous actions, and did not speak for a long time, Ye Ningxiang naturally had nothing to say to Mu Xize, and the three of them were silent for a long time. It was probably late at night, and the guards who were in charge of supervising them were very sleepy, and they stood on the ground and staggered to the ground, threatening to fall to the ground immediately.
At this time, Mu Xize called out the name that Ye Ningxiang thought was very funny again, "Dabao, Dabao!" The guard was suddenly uplifted by his shout, but he didn't dare to be so rude as before, but asked very respectfully: "Third prince, what did you say?"
Mu Xize ignored the guard's question, pretended to be very angry and continued: "Qin Xiao, don't you hurry up and get out of here!"
I saw a figure suddenly flash at this time, but this person's dress was very funny, he was an eight-foot man, his eyebrows were full of heroism, and at this moment he was wearing a eunuch uniform that seemed to be much smaller, and the eunuch hat on his head was also a little off. I saw that this slightly funny person was in a blink of an eye, and the three guards fell into a state of silent sleep.
Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but be taken aback in her heart, such martial arts should be among the best in the entire rivers and lakes, even if the master who taught him martial arts was not his opponent.
I saw Qin Xiao walking to Mu Xize's side angrily, and then helped Ye Ningxiang with one hand and Su Qingqing with the other, but skipped Mu Xize. At this time, Mu Xize had already stretched out a hand, but instead of helping him up, Qin Xiao slapped his arm hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "Mu Xize, Mu Xize, why didn't you tell me that Princess Danyang stayed in Guanju Palace because she liked you!"
Then Qin Xiao grabbed Mu Xize's collar, and the anger between his words was even worse, "In order to please her, I deliberately stole a large handful of roses from an unknown palace. When she saw me, she didn't know who I was, and she thought I was an assassin, and she was going to beat me when she came up. Then I expressed my love, who knew that she was also straightforward enough, and directly said that the person she loved has always been you!"
Mu Xize smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I don't know, she never told me!"
"Of course you don't know, if you haven't been in prison all these years, if you haven't been in the house to recuperate, people won't have a chance to confess, and you will finally wait until the emperor's birthday banquet You will appear, and because people are the princesses of neighboring countries, it is inconvenient to attend, and they are wrong in the past. Do you know that all night, Danyang has been telling me about his love and thoughts for you. Qin Xiao said as he pointed his finger at Mu Xize's head.
Mu Xize laughed even more: "Then you can't soak the girl yourself, but you have to blame me!"
"Mu Xize, you still have a smile, I really treat you as a brother, you treat me as an enemy! Thinking that I, Qin Xiao, am a wise man, how can I make friends with such a murderous brother like you, a white-eyed wolf with no heart or lungs!" Qin Xiao said with a slight cry.
But after only a moment's effort, Qin Xiao gloated again, and said with a smile: "Do you feel that your legs are unconscious now, and you want me to help you up and take you away?"
Mu Xize winked very sincerely at Qin Xiao's location with wide eyes.
Seeing Mu Xize like this, Qin Xiao didn't have the slightest anger, and continued: "I won't take you away, you can honestly follow these two beautiful female dolls and kneel together until dawn!"
"Qin Dabao!" Mu Xize shouted loudly these three times, but when he heard that Qin Dabao had already flown away, the voice behind him was also weak, "Don't go!"
