Chapter 53: The Scourge of Prison
With Mu Xize's company, Ye Ningxiang slept soundly this night, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Mu Xize was behind her, and her hands were still gently holding her waist. He hadn't woken up yet, and the long eyelashes on his very charming peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and under the first rays of sunlight in the morning, they were so charming and made people's hearts ripple.
It was obviously a harsh winter, but seeing Mu Xize in this appearance, Ye Ningxiang felt warm in her heart, and unconsciously reached out to touch Mu Xize's cheeks, fair, tender, and warm cheeks.
Mu Xize probably felt that something was more on his face, and unconsciously shook his head slightly, Ye Ningxiang was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, only to feel that there was a deer on his chest kept bumping.
At this time, a voice suddenly broke into Ye Ningxiang's ears, "He is the murderer, he is the murderer of your whole family!"
What was she doing, she was so attracted by Mu Xize that she forgot who she was, took the initiative to touch his face, and took the initiative to indulge in his beauty and charm. Ye Ningxiang hated herself, her dead relatives were all looking at her under Jiuquan, but she was always touched by the enemy, and even unconsciously took the initiative to provoke him.
Thinking of this, Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, her eyes were red, and she turned around slightly, completely avoiding Mu Xize's face.
It was probably because this turn was a little violent, waking up Mu Xize, who was still asleep.
"Xiao Yezi, you're awake!" Mu Xize lazily opened his eyes, and the arm holding Ye Ningxiang tightened even tighter.
"Hmm. Ye Ningxiang replied very coldly, and then subconsciously broke free of Mu Xize's arm.
"You, now that you have recovered the throne, it is not proper to stay in my slave's house again, so hurry back to your own room!" Ye Ningxiang's tone was cold, obviously giving Mu Xize an eviction order, and because of his identity, Mu Xize should not come to her room in the future.
A trace of sadness flashed on Mu Xize's face, and then he smiled: "I'm sorry, I lost the rules." ”
After speaking, Mu Xize got up and walked towards the door. Although Mu Xize had a smile on his face, Ye Ningxiang felt that his heart seemed to be extremely sad, such a thin and thin back was so lonely and lonely in the cold wind.
Ye Ningxiang sighed, her mood was even lower than before, and she slowly walked to the door and closed the door.
At the moment when the door was closed, Ye Ningxiang heard that many people seemed to suddenly rush into the courtyard, their footsteps were fast and neat, and when they fell to the ground, they could clearly hear a sonorous and rhythmic sound.
Who is it, who will suddenly break into King Ning's mansion early in the morning, and it is still a large group of people.
Ye Ningxiang opened the door curiously, only to see that a team of soldiers wearing armor and holding long knives had surrounded her door, and Mu Xize, who had just walked out of the door, was also tightly surrounded by these soldiers.
Ye Ningxiang just wanted to ask what happened, but she heard a bell from a long distance, the bell was far away and ethereal, but it made people tremble and even heartache, it was the death knell from the palace that only the emperor's funeral would ring.
The emperor has returned to heaven. After taking the resurrection pill that Mu Xize begged for, the emperor, who had fully recovered, returned to heaven without warning.
Ye Ningxiang looked at Mu Xize's back, but couldn't help but feel sorry for him, what kind of mood would he feel at this time when he heard such a bell? Will he be as painful and mournful as when his relatives died?
The soldiers at the head rebuked mercilessly: "Your Royal Highness King Ning, you murdered Your Majesty with poison, and your lower officials will immediately arrest you and put you in the heavenly prison pending trial by the order of the Queen Mother." I hope Your Highness will cooperate!"
"The medicine is for the emperor to eat, if you want to catch me, just arrest me, why embarrass a little girl!" Mu Xize's voice was very low, and some of the scales seemed to be unstable, as if he was trying to restrain his emotions and had to speak.
"This is the will of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother specially instructed that this girl must be arrested together, she is always by your side on weekdays, if you are the main culprit, she must be an accomplice. The chief's tone was stiff, leaving no room for manoeuvre.
At this time, Mu Xize slowly turned his head and faced the eyes of Shangye Ningxiang, his face was haggard at this time, without any energy, as if he had suffered a huge blow in addition to the pain of the death of his relatives.
"Little Yezi, I'm sorry to make you suffer. Although Mu Xize wanted to pretend that nothing happened, his extremely low and slightly trembling voice betrayed him again.
Probably wanting to comfort him too much, Ye Ningxiang reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't you say that I am your eyes, where you are, I will be there." After saying that, Ye Ningxiang regretted it, she dared to say anything when her mind was hot, and if she wanted to comfort people, she didn't need to say such things to comfort him!
Hearing Ye Ningxiang say this, Mu Xize seemed to have suddenly come to life, his eyes were full of life, and his previous sad and desperate expression was also swept away. Then he respectfully said to the commander who had come to arrest him, "My lord, I want to go back to the house and get something, and then you can go, okay?"
The chief knew that the emperor had restored Mu Xize's prince before his death, and gave him the talisman, although he was labeled as a murderer today, but it is difficult to say whether he will live or die in the future, if he gets away with his crime in the future, his life will not be easy, but he will take something, or give him a face!
"Just go, just go and we'll be by your side. ”
"Thank you. Mu Xize replied politely, and then walked quickly into his room, and then walked straight to his closet. There was a large drawer on the lower level of the wardrobe, and Mu Xize skillfully opened the drawer, and inside was a very thick black sink.
Then, Mu Xize took out the big gloss, walked to Ye Ningxiang's side, first touched Ye Ningxiang's shoulder with his hand to find the right position, and then gently draped the big gon on Ye Ningxiang's body.
"Lord Wang, what are you doing here, Ningxiang is not cold!" Ye Ningxiang said as he took off the big hat.
"Your fever has just subsided, the prison is cold, and if you don't wear a coat, you're afraid you're going to burn again. This is made of rare sable skin, which is very resistant to cold, so you can wear it obediently! ”
Ye Ningxiang felt that it was better to follow Mu Xize's wishes at this time, so that at least his scarred heart could be comforted temporarily.
Probably seeing that Mu Xize had done everything he should do, the leader of the team said in a low but imposing tone: "His Royal Highness King Ning, please!"
Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize slowly walked out of King Ning's Mansion under the tight siege of all the soldiers, but as soon as they left King Ning's Mansion, Ye Ningxiang was first shocked by what they saw in front of them, and then angry, "What do you mean by this?"
Mu Xize faintly felt that there seemed to be some people gathered outside the palace, but Concubine Li, that is, the current Queen Mother, made such a big move, and it was not surprising that a few onlookers came, why did Ye Ningxiang react so violently?
"What's going on?" Mu Xize turned his head and whispered to Ye Ningxiang.
Ye Ningxiang felt that it was difficult to speak, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
The chief didn't leave any affection at all, and said very directly: "The queen mother said that Ning Wangfu is far away from Dali Temple, and she specially prepared a carriage and horse for Her Royal Highness. ”
Listening to the man's words, Mu Xize nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and then deliberately asked, "Is it open-topped, the kind with good permeability?"
I didn't expect Mu Xize to ask so unseriously, and the chief was speechless for a while, so he only hummed in response.
"Lord Wang, the slave maid heard that this Concubine Li has always had a good relationship with you, how could she treat you like this?" Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but ask, and felt that someone should frame Concubine Li, because Concubine Li had been in contact with her previous life, and she was a kind-hearted and very easy woman to get along with.
Mu Xize sneered and said: "Concubine Li is Concubine Li, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, anyone will change in front of power." ”
After speaking, Mu Xize touched Ye Ningxiang's face twice out of thin air and found Ye Ningxiang's face, then stroked her waist with one hand, blocked her face with the other, and walked towards the prisoner car.
Ye Ningxiang was very embarrassed by Mu Xize, pulled down Mu Xize's arm that was blocking her face, and said, "You, don't do this, block my eyes." ”
"Oh, then I'll go low. I am already notorious, coupled with my handsome appearance, let people see it, you are different, the yellow flower girl who has not married is not good in this high-profile downstream street after all, and it is not good to be able to block a little bit. ”
When he said this, Mu Xize was actually laughing, the kind of smile that was content to be able to do something for Ye Ningxiang.
Ye Ningxiang no longer resisted, and let Mu Xize take herself into the prisoner cart in this strange posture, followed by the sound of locking, and the two of them were firmly trapped in this prisoner cart that was not very spacious.
Seeing Mu Xize get into the car safely, the leader of the team unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, because an incident he experienced seven years ago made him unforgettable in his life.
At that time, not long after he became a Praetorian Guard, he was working under Cui Hujun, and he happened to witness Mu Xize covered in blood, Mu Xize was not blind at that time, and his martial arts were also very strong. The killing intent in Mu Xize's eyes and the rotting skull in the coffin he was pushing were enough to make him have nightmares for a year.
After receiving such an order, he was very worried in his heart, but he had to pretend to be very strong to show his subordinates, which was really rare. He felt that his forehead was inexplicably itchy, and when he reached out to touch it, a layer of cold sweat had gathered into sweat droplets that were flowing down his forehead. Luckily, everything went well!
In the prison car, Mu Xize deliberately lowered Ye Ningxiang's head and hugged it tightly in his arms, for fear that Ye Ningxiang's face would be looked at by the onlookers. He knew that Ye Ningxiang had always been thin-skinned, and he couldn't stand the gossip of others, so he comforted: "Xiao Yezi, you just bury your head in my arms, so that you can't see those people pointing fingers, and your heart will feel much better." ”
Ye Ningxiang hid in Mu Xize's arms, and her voice became muffled because of the barrier of her clothes, "I envy you a little, I can't see anything, so I don't think about anything, I don't care about anything." Unlike me, if I were the only one in this prison car, I would probably have to die in shame in this car. ”
Mu Xize listened to Ye Ningxiang's words, and felt that Ye Ningxiang must be very cute at this moment, so he couldn't help laughing, and felt that he was laughing out of place, and continued: "Oh, you shouldn't laugh at this time. ”
Then, the two were silent for a while and did not speak, Ye Ningxiang felt that these soldiers seemed to be deliberately walking more and prolonging the time of parade in the streets, so that everyone in the world would know that Mu Xize was the great villain who killed the king and killed his father, and he was very indignant in his heart.
However, Ye Ningxiang discovered another strange thing along the way: why Mu Xize didn't have a heartbeat.
After being puzzled in her heart for a long time, Ye Ningxiang finally opened her mouth and asked this somewhat funny question: "Lord Wang, you, why don't you have a heartbeat." ”
Mu Xize's eyes widened, and then instinctively stepped back, probably realizing that the reaction seemed to be a little unnatural, so he smiled and said, "Nonsense, how can people not have a heartbeat? As he spoke, Mu Xize had already handed his wrist to Ye Ningxiang.
Ye Ningxiang actually went up to touch Mu Xize's pulse, although it was a little weak, but it was still beating rhythmically, and she was really mentally abnormal by this street parade.
Then Ye Ningxiang naturally leaned into Mu Xize's arms again, but Mu Xize naturally transferred Ye Ningxiang from his left chest to his right chest, and then said in a more coquettish tone: "Xiao Yezi, you should lose weight, just after this while, my left arm is numb." ”
At this time, Ye Ningxiang suddenly remembered the injury Mu Xize had suffered in order to treat his left shoulder, so he didn't say much, turned around, and leaned on Mu Xize's right chest.
After more than an hour of parade through the streets, Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize's prisoner car finally drove to Dali Temple. They were greeted outside the gate of Dali Temple by a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a handsome but calm face.
The man bowed to Mu Xize very respectfully and said, "Xiaguan Dali Temple Shaoqing Wei Xun, I have been waiting here for a long time, and I also ask the prince and this girl to get off." ”
