Chapter Twenty-Three: A Weak Body

Su Qingqing took Mu Xize's hand very gracefully, and then pulled Mu Xize up very hard, and said, "Third prince, I'll pull you up." ”

Mu Xize smiled, broke away from Su Qingqing's arm, and said, "You don't have to pull me, my body is a little special, sitting and kneeling feel the same, you don't have to worry about me, go to the pavilion over there to rest and rest!" Su Qingqing no longer insisted, and nodded slightly.

Su Qingqing felt that this Mu Xize was sometimes considerate, sometimes cold, sometimes mysterious, sometimes cute, and had already been deeply immersed in Mu Xize's charm and couldn't extricate himself. The soft moonlight shone on Mu Xize's pale face, making Mu Xize exude a unique dynamic beauty. Su Qingqing had been quietly looking at Mu Xize for the rest of the time, although she kept telling herself in her heart not to look at it anymore, she would be discovered, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at him.

The three guards didn't wake up until dawn, and when they woke up, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they were very puzzled how they could fall asleep if they stood up well, and then looked at Mu Xize and the three of them knelt there very well. The chief of the guard was very relieved to see such a scene, and respectfully saluted Mu Xize and said, "Third prince, the sky is already dawn!"

Mu Xize smiled and said, "Well, help me up." Then Mu Xize grabbed the shoulder of the chief of the guard tightly and stood up with great difficulty.

Ye Ningxiang felt that in less than one night, Mu Xize seemed to be more haggard and her face was paler, but there was no sense of joy in her heart.

"You are staying in Zhongxiu Palace, and I will send you back, so that you will not be punished a second time. ”

When Su Qingqing heard that Mu Xize wanted to send them back in person, her heart suddenly warmed, but seeing his haggard face, she hoped that he could go to rest earlier. Who knew that Ye Ningxiang actually agreed, which could be regarded as praising Su Qingqing's heart.

On the way, Mu Xize followed closely behind Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing, Su Qingqing felt a little reluctant in her heart, and whispered: "Third prince, you better go back early! ”

Mu Xize smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay! I'm just an idler now, and I'm very bored, so I just took this opportunity to come out and wander around." ”

As soon as Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing walked into the gate of Zhongxiu Palace, they were stopped by Cui Mama, and next to Cui Mama stood Wang Liyue, who had been following Wang Guifei last night. "Ye Ningxiang, Su Qingqing, you are so bold, you dare to burn the imperial garden of the palace, see if I don't teach you two a good lesson today!"

Wang Liyue limped up to Ye Ningxiang and smiled gloatingly: "Today's incident is just the beginning, and you will feel better in the future." ”

At this moment, the voice from behind Wang Liyue made Wang Liyue shiver suddenly, and her arrogance weakened. Mu Xize leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "This year, the scale of palace selection is too loose, even the lame people want it!"

Seeing that it was Mu Xize, Mama Cui no longer spoke strongly, and relieved Wang Liyue of the siege: "Miss Liyue was secretly manipulated by Ye Ningxiang to become what she is now, and she will be cured in a few days." ”

Mu Xize said naturally: "The arson is all because of my own carelessness, and it has nothing to do with the two of them, I personally sent them back just to tell you not to make a fuss about this matter again, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed." Whether it is important to please others or to save your life, you weigh it yourself. Then he said to Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing: "I didn't rest last night, you have a good rest today, and I will go back first." With that, Mu Xize slowly walked out of Zhongxiu Palace.

Because Mu Xize said that he wanted Ye Ningxiang and Su Qingqing to have a good rest, Mama Cui didn't dare to arrange work for them anymore, Su Qingqing felt very sleepy after tossing all night, and when she returned to the bedroom, she didn't do anything, and she fell asleep on the bed. Although Ye Ningxiang was also very tired, she felt that she should take a good bath after blowing outside for a day, so she mixed a large basin of bath water and took a hot bath comfortably.

Ye Ningxiang, who had just finished taking a bath, dragged her wet hair, and ran to her bed very happily, ready to sleep until the next morning, but she didn't expect that there was a person lying on her bed at this moment, and that person was Mu Xize who had just said goodbye to her. At this moment, Mu Xize's eyes were closed, lying motionless on the bed, if he hadn't faintly seen that his chest was still slightly undulating, he would have felt that the person was already a dead man.

Manager Liu was pacing around Mu Xize, her hands were still rubbing her chest and she looked very nervous, and Mama Cui was also standing behind Manager Liu respectfully, as if she was waiting for Manager Liu's next instructions.

"Why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived?" said Chief Manager Liu anxiously.

"I've sent someone to urge it, and I'll be able to come soon. Cui Mama replied nervously. After answering, he habitually raised his head and happened to bump into Ye Ningxiang, who had just finished taking a shower and was about to take a big nap, and deliberately pretended to be very imposing and said: "Ye Ningxiang, your bed is now temporarily requisitioned, you hurry up to the gate of our Zhongxiu Palace to guard, if the imperial doctor comes, quickly lead him here." ”

Ye Ningxiang's heart suddenly became cold, and she involuntarily let out an "ah". When Mama Cui saw that Ye Ningxiang was refuting herself in front of Manager Liu, she immediately said angrily: "What are you, go quickly!"

Mr. Liu, who is the manager of Ping Suli, dislikes the act of commanding and teaching people the most, and he is also very angry and said to Mama Cui: "You ask others to go, what are you doing here by yourself, this little girl doesn't have to go out, you go and guard the door for me." ”

Cui Mama didn't expect that Mr. Liu, who was very approachable tomorrow, would come up with such words coldly, and she was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, slave and maid will go." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, an imperial doctor with a medicine box hurriedly walked into Ye Ningxiang's bedroom under the guidance of Mama Cui, and then took Mu Xize's pulse without delay.

"Imperial Doctor Zhou, how is the third prince, can you still be saved?" Mr. Liu asked anxiously.

"How long has the Third Prince been in a coma like this?" asked Imperial Physician Zhou as he checked his pulse, but his eyebrows, which were still very stretched before, were now twisted into a ball.

"Our family doesn't know, originally our family was going to meet the little eunuchs who had just entered the palace and give them a lecture, but who knew that the third prince was found not far from Zhongxiu Palace, and he was already unconscious when he was found!"

"Hey, the third prince has almost lost his pulse, and Yi Weichen has reached the point where he is terminally ill and lacks skills to return to heaven. The Imperial Doctor said as he shook his head.

What, just saw Mu Xize, is Mu Xize going to die, Ye Ningxiang looked carefully at Mu Xize lying on the bed, and his chest that was still vaguely undulating was now motionless, and he was really exactly the same as a dead man.

"Imperial Doctor Zhou, no matter what method you use, you must keep the last breath of the third prince, and I will personally go to Zhaoyang Hall to find the emperor!"

In the Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor was discussing with several important ministers of the court, as well as Duanwang Mu Jinghong and Xinwang Mu Jingyuan, on the solution to the drought in Linzhou. I saw that Manager Liu was sweating profusely and didn't even report it, and directly broke into the main hall, and then fell to his knees with a thud, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please also move to Zhongxiu Palace to see Prince Xize for the last time, Imperial Doctor Zhou said that Prince Xize may not last long." ”

The emperor looked surprised and said, "What's the matter, I didn't understand, he wasn't fine last night, why can't he do it today?"

The old slave didn't know, when the old slave found him, he had already fainted in the open space not far from Zhongxiu Palace. Imperial Doctor Zhou said that Prince Xize still has his last breath left, if you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Prince Xize for the last time. ”

As soon as he heard that Mu Xize was about to die, Mu Jinghong, who was standing on the side, was very happy in his heart, except for Mu Xize, the only rival for the crown was Mu Jingyuan, and although this Mu Jingyuan was very smart, he rarely participated in government affairs before, even if Concubine Li had worked hard to install her own power in the court over the years, but this was nothing compared to Mu Jinghong's power in the court. As long as this Mu Xize falls, he will be able to get this big country steadily.

However, unlike Manager Liu's anxious and sad reaction, the emperor was only a little surprised at first, and then became very calm, and ordered that today's court deliberations were postponed to tomorrow, and he followed Manager Liu to Zhongxiu Palace, and before leaving, he did not forget to go back to his bedroom to get a very delicate small medicine bottle. Manager Liu thought that the emperor reacted so calmly, and took a small medicine bottle, thinking that the prince of Xize should not be worried about his life, so a hanging heart also fell to the ground.

The emperor entered Ye Ningxiang's bedroom, ignored the pries of others, walked straight to Mu Xize, and then sat on the edge of the bed, took out the small medicine bottle he had taken before, and poured out a pill from the bottle and put it in Mu Xize's mouth.

That medicine was really magical, it was less than a quarter of an hour, and I only heard Mu Xize cough a few faintly, then slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "Where is this?"

"Zhongxiu Palace. When the emperor saw Mu Xize wake up, his heart was completely relaxed, and he continued: "How did you do it, your body is so weak that you don't take medicine." ”

"I don't want to be held back by this medicine. Mu Xize moved his body with difficulty, half-sat on the bed, and said.

"You all go down, I want to talk to Xi Ze. The emperor told all the attendants to leave. Ye Ningxiang was very disappointed when she heard this, and she thought that she could find out some secret things from the conversation between the emperor and Mu Xize, but now it is difficult for this secret matter to enter her ears.

Xu wanted to deliberately show himself in front of the emperor, but Mama Cui actually said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's better for us to stay outside the door, if something happens to your side, we can deal with it in time." The implication is to remind the emperor that Mu Xize has already killed the monarch once, and he will come back a second time.

"Cui's family, the emperor who was personally appointed by you before, it seems that she is not too young, it is better to reward her with some silver and let her go back to her hometown to retire!" Mu Xize naturally said to the emperor.

Cui Mama didn't expect Mu Xize to say this, and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, so she immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid still wants to continue to do her duty and loyalty to the emperor, and she doesn't want to return to her hometown so early!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor was on Mu Xize's side, and said with a smile: "Mama Cui, you have really worked hard all these years, tomorrow you will go to the Internal Affairs Office to get some silver and return to your hometown!"

I saw that the Cui family was almost about to cry, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only kowtow and thank him.

After that, Ye Ningxiang had been in the courtyard, and he couldn't hear what the emperor and Mu Xize were talking about, only that when the emperor left, he asked Mu Xize to go to the court tomorrow to discuss matters, and Mu Xize's request to the emperor made Ye Ningxiang's teeth itch, he actually thought that he was weak and had just walked away from the ghost gate, so he needed to cultivate well, he didn't want to move around, and wanted to sleep directly on this bed for a night. As for the emperor, he naturally agreed without thinking about it, but Mu Xize slept on Ye Ningxiang's bed, where did Ye Ningxiang sleep! Ye Ningxiang was so eager to stab Mu Xize's heart with a knife.
