Chapter Seventy-Eight: Micro Suit Leaves the Palace
"Sister Ning Xiang, do you know, I'm really happy today, so happy!" Qi Mengyao held the wine cup in her hand, swaying around the soft collapse of the dormitory, and finally sat on the ground, not only did she not feel the slightest pain, but she kept laughing.
"You're drunk!" Ye Ningxiang stretched out her right index finger and drew circles towards Qi Mengyao's position, her eyes dilated and confused.
"I'm not drunk, I'm the queen, I'm the mother of a country, how can I get drunk?"
Speaking of this, Qi Mengyao suddenly looked sad, and then couldn't help crying, "Queen, shit! I don't want to be a queen, I just want to, I just want to find someone to love in the future and live with him plainly for the rest of my life." ”
Qi Mengyao slammed the wine cup to the ground and cried even more, "Do you know what the tonic soup that the Imperial Medical Department sent me every day is? I have only known the emperor for two months, and the whole palace is looking forward to me being able to conceive the emperor's heir. But I don't love him, so why should I have to give him a baby!"
Ye Ningxiang smiled miserably, and her words became a little indistinct, "What are you, my situation is difficult! Do you know how painful it feels to fall in love with your enemy! I know that he has ruined your family, and I know that he is a heinous villain, but I still can't help but worry about him and miss him." ”
Ye Ningxiang pounded her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm just a bastard, bastard......"
The most terrible thing after you wake up is that you don't remember what you did when you were drunk, and this kind of thing happened to Ye Ningxiang.
On the second day, when Ye Ningxiang woke up, she had a splitting headache, and when she looked carefully at the place she was, it turned out to be the soft collapse in the queen's bedroom, and she was lying crookedly on the soft collapse at this time. She still had a man's arm on her stomach. Qi Mengyao was lying beside her, still asleep, and her right arm was wantonly on Ye Ningxiang's stomach.
Ye Ningxiang carefully removed Qi Mengyao's arm and shook her head vigorously, trying to recall what happened last night, but unfortunately after thinking about it for a long time, she could only remember that she had successfully stolen the wine and snacks from the Imperial Chef by clever means.
"My head hurts so much!" Qi Mengyao rubbed her temples and reluctantly opened her eyes.
Ye Ningxiang ignored the suspicion of the master and servant, grabbed Qi Mengyao's arm, and looked extremely nervous, "Do you remember what I said last night?"
"Last night, last night......" Qi Mengyao hesitated for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I only remember that you said that you fell in love with someone, and then you kept crying, and I can't remember anything else." ”
probably felt that Qi Mengyao was simple-minded and would not lie, and the secret between her and Xiao Qingyu should not have been shaken out, thinking of this, Ye Ningxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart that had been hanging in the air fell to the ground. However, after this incident, Ye Ningxiang also made up her mind not to drink alcohol from now on, so as not to miss a major event because of drunkenness.
Normally, every ten days, Xiao Qingyu would send someone to stuff a note into the inconspicuous crack of the stone in the Imperial Garden, and today happened to be the tenth day. On the first day of the New Year, the palace was still busy, and no one noticed that Ye Ningxiang, who was supposed to be in the Yixia Hall or the Zhaoyang Palace, had sneaked into the imperial garden at this moment.
Sure enough, there was a small piece of thin bamboo tube hidden in the crack in the stone, and Ye Ningxiang carefully took out the bamboo tube and pulled out the note. After being silent for nearly two months, Xiao Qingyu assigned her a task again: to find a way to get Mu Jingyuan out of the palace.
The note did not explain the reason why Mu Jingyuan had to leave the palace, but Ye Ningxiang felt that since it was Xiao Qingyu's order, there must be a reason to do so, so she left the imperial garden with a solemn face.
Mu Jingyuan stayed in Xia Qingqing's dormitory for one night, and went to the early dynasty early in the morning, there should have been only Xia Qingqing's dormitory, but there was one more person at this time.
Xia Qingqing didn't know how Xiao Qingyu broke into her bedroom so quietly again, but when she saw Mu Jingyuan leave, she suddenly found that there was an extra person's skirt behind the screen, and when she realized Xiao Qingyu's arrival.
She pretended to be very calm, withdrew all the attendants on the pretext of preparing to continue to rest, and then respectfully greeted Xiao Qingyu, no matter how much she disguised, she still felt that her body was trembling slightly.
"I still need your help with something. Xiao Qingyu smiled, as gentle and kind as the brother next door, which made people unbearable to push.
But Xia Qingqing was so shocked that he took two steps back, knelt down and said, "What do you command?"
Xiao Qingyu leaned down, clinged to Xia Qingqing's ear, and whispered something, only to see Xia Qingqing's face look embarrassed, as if the matter was extremely tricky. However, Xiao Qingyu looked relaxed and smiled. Before leaving, he also deliberately smiled and instructed: "Qingqing, you know my temper, I can't tolerate failure in my eyes, so you can only succeed in this matter, understand?"
"Yes, Qingqing will succeed. ”
During this period of time, Mu Xize disappeared, and many officials who had followed Mu Xize resigned within a month as if they heard something, and the removal of the old ministers left by Mu Jinghong, the exile of the exile, overnight, the entire government and the opposition were only Mu Jingyuan's orders, although he enjoyed the supreme glory brought by power, but Mu Jingyuan's heart was always empty, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Ye Ningxiang stepped into Mu Jingyuan's study again in the name of sorting out documents for the emperor. At this time, Mu Jingyuan was holding a red pen and holding his head, looking distraught.
"What is the emperor worried about?"
Mu Jingyuan sighed and said, "I don't know why, I always feel unhappy recently, but I don't know why. ”
It can be regarded as having been with Mu Jingyuan for a long time, and Ye Ningxiang also has some understanding of Mu Jingyuan's temperament, and combined with the current situation in the current dynasty, he quickly analyzed the reason for his such trouble. Originally, because of the exhaustion of all forces, all of a sudden the power was transferred to his head, and without an opponent, Mu Jingyuan's heart would naturally feel a little empty.
Thinking of what Xiao Qingyu told him to do a few days ago, Ye Ningxiang thought for a while and said, "Ningxiang has a way to relieve the depression in the emperor's heart. ”
"Oh, come and talk about it!" Mu Jingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up with a green light, and he stared at Ye Ningxiang tightly.
"The emperor should go out of the palace for a walk, first, to relax, and second, to observe the people's feelings. In this way, the emperor can better handle government affairs, and the great separation will be more prosperous. ”
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been in the market and paid attention to the lives of the people. ”
Suddenly there was a new direction, Mu Jingyuan's mood was high, and it took less than an afternoon to review the recital, which was about half a person high, and then ordered the Imperial Chef to make a large table of sumptuous dinner, leaving Ye Ningxiang alone to enjoy with him.
Before the dinner was over, Ye Ningxiang felt that the slaves and maids outside the palace had already chattered and chattered, but before she could speak, Mu Jingyuan came to them first, and roared angrily: "If someone chews his tongue behind his back in the future, I will cut off his tongue and feed it to the dog." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were originally talking about Ye Ningxiang were like having a seal on their mouths, and they didn't dare to say half a word again.
Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Jingyuan said that he was sick and quit the early dynasty, and then hurried to Yixia Hall to find Ye Ningxiang. When Mu Jingyuan first entered the Yixia Palace, Ye Ningxiang was helping Qi Mengyao to make up, and suddenly saw Mu Jingyuan leading several palace people towards him in a hurry, and he was suddenly shocked, and thought that he had made a mistake, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"Ye Ningxiang, didn't I tell you, you don't have to kneel down towards me in the future. Mu Jingyuan picked up Ye Ningxiang and looked at Qi Mengyao with a smile, "Sister Mengyao is really a little lazy worm, she didn't get up until she was three poles old." ”
Qi Mengyao pursed her lips, held her head high and said, "But it's just dawn, and the sun has just appeared." ”
Mu Jingyuan stopped laughing and looked at Qi Mengyao with a serious expression, "Queen, I am going to take Ye Ningxiang out of the palace for a few days, and this palace will have to worry about you during this time!"
"What, the emperor is going out of the palace?" Qi Mengyao looked surprised, and then looked at Ye Ningxiang with some disappointment, "Sister Ningxiang, you already knew that the emperor would take you out of the palace, right, but you didn't tell me at all." Speaking of this, Qi Mengyao's eyes actually shed tears.
It can be very sad that someone you have always regarded as a sister and the person you trust the most suddenly loses their loyalty to you and even hides from you many things you should know.
Ye Ningxiang just wanted to argue, but was immediately interrupted by Qi Mengyao, "You don't have to explain to me, just go out of the palace with the emperor to do what you want, and you don't need to tell me what you want to do in the future." ”
After speaking, Qi Mengyao ignored the half-combed bun and rushed out of the Yixia Hall crying.
Ye Ningxiang just wanted to chase it, but was caught by Mu Jingyuan.
"Let her be alone for a while, she is too young, she always thinks that everything in the world is beautiful, but how can everything in the world go her way? This time it is a lesson for her, and it will be easier to accept if she encounters something more unbearable in the future. ”
At that time, Ye Ningxiang put all her thoughts on Qi Mengyao, and even blamed herself for not telling Qi Mengyao about the emperor's possible exit from the palace, and did not delve into the deep meaning of Mu Jingyuan's words at all, so that when that tragedy happened, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and even discouraged.
Mu Jingyuan followed Ye Ningxiang's low-key advice, disguised himself as an ordinary businessman, rode in a very ordinary carriage, and began their micro-service tour under the secret protection of a very small number of powerful internal guards.
Since the purpose of the patrol is to observe the people's feelings, he has a great knowledge of which road this Mu Jingyuan is heading towards. Not only for Xiao Qingyu, but also for herself, and let the country collapse, and the officials naturally bear the brunt.
However, Ye Ningxiang was already kind-hearted, and she still couldn't bear to do such a thing as killing Zhongliang for revenge, but there was one thing she could attract Mu Jingyuan's attention through this trip, and that was the embezzlement of military salaries that she still had no clue about.
