Chapter Twenty-Five: The Decaying Mansion of King Ning

Since that day, Mu Xize yelled in his room in a very high-profile manner, and the matter of the third prince Mu Xize sleeping in the same room with the palace maid Ye Ningxiang has not been spreading, so that in the next few days, Ye Ningxiang will look at her wherever she goes, and then chirp behind her back and don't know what to mutter.

However, Ye Ningxiang didn't pay attention to these things, but was a little unhappy about Su Qingqing's change in her attitude. Ye Ningxiang knew that Su Qingqing had long felt unusually for Mu Xize, but thinking about it from Su Qingqing's standpoint, it was clear that Mu Xize was the first to call out her Su Qingqing's nickname, but in the end she spent one night with Ye Ningxiang, so it was not surprising that Su Qingqing had a lot of resentment towards Ye Ningxiang in her heart.

On this day, a eunuch with a grade hurriedly came to Zhongxiu Palace with two little eunuchs holding a volume of documents just issued by the Internal Affairs Office. What was written on the document was where Ye Ningxiang's batch of palace maids were finally assigned.

The eunuch read the contents of the document aloud in his voice that was neither yin nor yang, Ye Ningxiang hadn't heard his name for a long time, and thought that it would not be the Internal Affairs Office that had forgotten him, and when he was puzzled, he only heard the eunuch say: "Ye Ningxiang, go to King Ning's Mansion." ”

What, Ning Wangfu, could it be that his ears were wrong? Soon Ye Ningxiang felt that she had heard correctly, because there were four other people in the back who were also assigned to Ning Wangfu. Mu Xize didn't wear a guilty body, how could he still assign the palace maid, Ye Ningxiang couldn't help it, and directly asked the herald eunuch: "My lord, is it true that the five of us are allowed to go to King Ning's mansion?"

The eunuch glanced at Ye Ningxiang: "What, are you suspecting that our family's message is wrong?" and then raised his eyebrows and explained: "A few days ago, Prince Xize was seriously ill and almost died, and the emperor specially instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send more people to take care of Prince Xize, in fact, not only you five palace maids, but also five little eunuchs will also go with you." This time you know it!"

Ye Ningxiang smiled unnaturally and said, "It's clear, it's clear." "I was very angry in my heart, the palace is so big, the country is so big, how can I meet Mu Xize anywhere!

As soon as the eunuch who gave the order left, Zhong Xiugong ushered in another uninvited guest, and before he saw him, he heard his voice first: "Where is Ye Ningxiang, come out for me!" It was the princess of Danyang who Qin Xiao had been pursuing so hard but could not get it.

As soon as Ye Ningxiang heard the tone of this speech, she felt that the other party was a rude, willful, and unreasonable master, and thought that it was better to offend people less, so she rushed to Princess Danyang in small steps all the way, made a big salute to Danyang, and said respectfully: "Slave palace maid Ye Ningxiang, see Princess Danyang." ”

"You are Ye Ningxiang, I heard that Brother Xi Ze slept in your room that day when he was seriously ill, but is it true?" Danyang said with a thick vinegar in his tone.

"Yes. Ye Ningxiang replied respectfully.

"Lift your head up. Danyang said coldly.

Ye Ningxiang slowly raised her head, facing the big blazing eyes of Shang Danyang, only to see that the appearance of this Danyang was somewhat similar to her aunt Concubine Li, but there was a little more heroism between her eyebrows.

"It's just a few years younger than me, what it looks like, that's it!" Danyang snorted and said with some disdain, "Okay, you go get busy, I'll go back." With that, Princess Danyang left like a wind.

What, just leave like this, I thought I would rack my brains like Wang Liyue, trying my best not to make myself better, but I didn't expect to ask a few words and leave, or did I say that there was a greater danger waiting for me. Ye Ningxiang felt that it was too much of a brain to always bother thinking about these nonsensical things, so she concentrated on packing her bags and preparing to go to King Ning's Mansion tomorrow.

In the dead of night, Ye Ningxiang tiptoed to leave Zhongxiu Palace, thinking that she was going to do something unseemly, but she didn't expect that there would be someone else who would do something unseemly. Ye Ningxiang saw Wang Liyue, who was wearing a big cloak and walking a little limping, slipped out of Zhongxiu Palace like a thief.

However, Ye Ningxiang did not have the leisure to follow Wang Liyue, because she had more important matters, she did not dare to delay, and almost used light skills to quickly come to a very inconspicuous stone in the imperial garden, and carefully stuffed a small piece of thin bamboo tube into the crack of the stone, and the bamboo tube contained a piece of paper, and a line of words was written on the paper: "Move to Ning Wangfu tomorrow, everything will be fine." It turned out that this note was written to her master, Xiao Qingyu.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Ningxiang walked to King Ning's Mansion with the other four palace maids and five little eunuchs very reluctantly, and along the way, everyone kept complaining that they had any future with a master who had committed the crime of killing the king, and the more they thought about it, the more sad and angry they became, and a few of them almost couldn't help crying.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, their hearts were already broken into powder at this moment, what kind of palace is this, isn't this a courtyard that has been abandoned for many years and no one has lived in, and the plaque with the three words Ning Wangfu written on the main gate is also crooked, maybe it will fall down one day.

The only thing that made them feel relieved was that Mu Xize and the only two remaining subordinates in the palace were waiting in front of the palace early, and they were not like other masters who were either high up and unapproachable, or arrogant and arrogant.

"Come on, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Mu Xize smiled happily and said as he showed them the way.

Ye Ningxiang has already walked into the palace at this moment, but this palace is completely different from the palace in her memory, Ye Ningxiang remembers that there is a big pond in the middle of the courtyard of the palace, the water is very deep, she once raised red carp in the pond, Xia Qingqing also deliberately jumped into the pond because she wanted to frame herself, but now there is no shadow of water, the big banyan tree by the pond used to be the best summer resort in the hot summer, and now the tree has died.

Looking at the other scenery in the palace, all of them are decaying and withering, thinking back to her past, Ye Ningxiang secretly sighed in her heart, it is really a time passing, things are not people!

"You all stand up first, all stand up!" Mu Xize's personal eunuch Ma Zhong said pretending to be the chief eunuch.

After all, they were all new to the palace, and these slaves and maids obediently listened to Ma Zhong's orders and consciously stood in a row. Then Mu Xize went to each of them, first asked what his name was, then stood in front of that person for a while, and finally always smiled and said, "I remember you." ”

These slaves and maids watched the blind Mu Xize take such pains to remember the names of each of them, although they didn't say much, they could also feel a strong sense of concern from the words, so they were deeply moved.

However, Ye Ningxiang didn't think like this in her heart: routines, all routines, who is Mu Xize, a person who has been in the heavenly prison for seven years and still occupies a pivotal position in the court, how can he do it without a little skill! The more helpless and depressed people are, the more they want to be cared for by others, and Mu Xize grasps this kind of heart, and through a not too laborious move, he can easily pull the hearts of these slaves and maids over and use them for him, he is really a master!

Ye Ningxiang's heart was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that there was an extra person in front of her, and Mu Xize was smiling evilly at her, and laughed for a while before saying, "Xiao Yezi, why are you also assigned here!

Ye Ningxiang couldn't hold back again, and replied directly: "How did I get here, the third prince knows best." ”

Mu Xize was choked and speechless, and the slaves and maids who were traveling with him were also shocked by Ye Ningxiang's words, and they all opened their mouths wide, thinking that this little girl was also bold, and dared to talk to her master like this.

I saw that Mu Xize didn't mean to punish, but just smiled and said: "Everyone is tired today, go and rest early, there are many empty houses in this palace, you can live wherever you want." On weekdays, if you have a job, you can rest if you don't work, and just treat it as your own home. Okay, I'm tired, let's go back to the house first. ”

These slaves and maids, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't seem to understand the meaning of Mu Xize's words. At this time, their senior, Ma Zhong, said with a shelf: "The words of the third prince are not clear, why are you stunned, hurry up and choose a house!"

After greeting the slave maid, Mu Xize fell asleep, as if he wanted to make up for the lack of sleep he had woken up this morning, but in a daze, he heard someone calling him.

"Brother Xize, Brother Xize, Danyang has come to see you!" Princess Danyang shouted at the top of her voice.

Princess Danyang shouted as she and her maid walked towards the master bedroom where Mu Xize lived, carrying a large bag and a small bag, but Mu Xize didn't see it, but first saw Ye Ningxiang, who had just finished packing her luggage.

"Why are you here?" Danyang said with an angry face.

Ye Ningxiang was also taken aback by Danyang's arrival, and then politely greeted Danyang and said, "It's from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

At this time, Mu Xize put on a coat, came out of the house with sleepy eyes, and said with a smile: "Danyang is here! Let me see what Sister Danyang has become over the years!" Mu Xize said while gently stroking Danyang's cheek with his hand, "Well, it's getting better." ”

Danyang saw Mu Xize again after seven years, but when they met again, the peerless beauty she once thought of, the invincible hero, now felt her face by touching her cheeks with her hands, and for a while she was sad, hugged Mu Xize and cried bitterly.

Seeing her appearance, Mu Xize gently patted her back with his hand and soothed: "Okay, okay, Sister Danyang is not young now, why is she still like a child." ”

After Mu Xize's comfort, Danyang's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he smiled slightly: "Brother Xize, now that the emperor has removed all the guards in Ning Wangfu, and your actions are no longer restricted, I will go to ask the emperor to let me live in Ning Wangfu." Speaking of this, Danyang smiled even more, "The emperor agreed, I moved all my luggage here today, and I want to live with you." After speaking, he took Mu Xize's arm with love.

Mu Xize was surprised at first, then rolled his eyes a few times and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't dislike the ruins here, come here!"

When Danyang heard that Mu Xize was so in favor of moving over, he almost jumped up with joy, and rushed into the east wing next to the master bedroom with several large bags alone.

After that, until the evening, Mu Xize was sleeping, Danyang felt very bored, so he wandered around King Ning's mansion, but suddenly found that a black shadow flashed in the mansion.

Danyang immediately chased after him without saying anything, and started fighting directly, the man immediately stopped as soon as he saw that it was Danyang, and shouted in his mouth: "Danyang, I am Qin Xiao!"

At the moment when Qin Xiao stopped, Danyang punched Qin Xiao in the face, only to see warm blood flowing out of Qin Xiao's nostrils.
