Chapter 289: Mind
A gust of wind blew outside the window, and Mu Jingxi suddenly howled and cried as if she had been awakened by something.
"Good, good, Xi'er doesn't cry. Xu Lianyi couldn't take care of Wu Peiling at this time, and hurriedly coaxed her, but the cry of the little man in her arms was louder than a louder.
Wu Peiling also came over to coax, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to make Mu Jingxi stop crying.
"What the hell is going on. Hearing Mu Jingxi's cry slowly quieting down, Xu Lianyi asked out loud. "Did you find anything wrong?"
Wu Peiling was busy helping Xu Lianyi appease Mu Jingxi just now, but she didn't notice anything, so she could only reply: "I didn't find anything wrong." ”
Just as the two were talking, another gust of wind blew outside the window, and the little man in Xu Lianyi's arms began to cry again.
"I see. Wu Peiling looked at Xu Lianyi, who was hurriedly coaxing the child, and said loudly, "Wind! It's wind!"
"What kind of wind?" Xu Lianyi asked with a frown as she coaxed Mu Jingxi, who was crying incessantly in her arms.
"Don't you notice that every time a gust of wind blows, Xi'er starts crying. Wu Peiling explained.
At this time, it is the time of autumn, every year in this season, the autumn wind will come one after another, and the people in the palace are used to it, and no one will find that every time Mu Jingxi cries, it is when the wind blows.
"Someone, go and invite the Imperial Doctor. Xu Lianyi thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
Wu Peiling walked around the room, as if she was looking for something, and opened the half-hidden window again, and a burst of osmanthus fragrance hit, and Mu Jingxi in Xu Lianyi's arms also cried louder.
"Close the window. Xu Lianyi looked at Mu Jingxi, who was crying because of the opening of the window, and suddenly understood something, "It's because of the smell of osmanthus." ”
Wu Peiling nodded, and the imperial doctor was also hurrying over at this time.
"Imperial Doctor, take a look, Xi'er is crying, but it is related to the fragrance of osmanthus carried by this wind. Xu Lianyi excused herself from the imperial doctor's salute and asked out loud.
When the imperial doctor handed over this, he stopped being polite, checked it in the room again, and finally picked up the incense burner and checked it.
"This ambergris itself is harmless, but if it is combined with osmanthus incense, it will produce a pungent smell. The doctor replied, "Adults may smell the smell, but children's sense of smell is the most sensitive and delicate, and they cannot adapt to this smell." ”
The imperial doctor explained carefully, and after the palace maid next to her heard it, she was also busy telling the emperor at the behest of Xu Lianyi.
Mu Yunting in the imperial garden heard the palace maid come and explained that "the ghost has been caught", so he was also relieved.
Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly looked up at the starry sky and said, "This is ......"
"There is something wrong with the stars. Qin Tianjian on the side followed Mu Yunting's eyes, his fingers kept calculating, and he said loudly, "In the Henan area, there may be floods." ”
When Mu Yunting heard this, Ben's stretched brows tightened again.
The next day, the news of "the ghost being caught" spread in the palace, and the rumors were self-defeating.
"There may be floods in Henan, I want to entrust this important task to you, are you willing?" In the Shang study, Mu Yunting said to Mu Xiaoying in front of him.
"Do your best. Mu Xiaoying said, he also knew that Mu Yunting was giving him a chance, and he had just solved the case of military salary corruption, but there were still people in the DPRK who were not convinced, this was a good time to prove his strength, but he was still unwilling.
"That's up to you. Mu Yunting looked at the person in front of him and said with great relief, "The situation is urgent, so I will set off today." ”
"Lord Wang, you will set off tomorrow. Looking at the sky outside, the guard gently reminded him, and immediately felt that the cold knife was swishing and stabbing himself desperately.
The fire in Mu Xiaoying's heart was even stronger, but she gritted her teeth and was very aggrieved in her heart, it was impossible for the person who sent her to do the errand that Mu Yunting sent to her, so it could only be said that she did it on purpose.
If the mountain is not me, I will be the mountain.
Just do it, Mu Xiaoying picked up the jade pendant on the table, carefully put it into her arms, patted the guard's shoulder, and said solemnly: "You can do the rest, I'll go find her." After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's reaction and left quickly.
Because the time to close the palace gate had already passed, Mu Xiaoying could no longer hand the sign in to give Mu Yunting the opportunity to laugh at him, so he did not choose to report, but secretly climbed the city gate, evaded a team of Praetorian Guards, and Mu Xiaoying easily entered the palace.
In his heart, he was laughing at the laxity and incompetence of the Praetorian Guards, but he didn't expect that when people were unlucky, they would stuff their teeth with cold water.
"Someone is here to catch the assassins. I don't know who said it.
Mu Xiaoying was startled, but she quickly hid and threw people away, and then sneaked into Wu Peiling's residence, but she didn't expect that what greeted him was a long sword with a cold and murderous aura.
The sword blade slashed through the air with a gentle humming sound, and through the faint moonlight, you could clearly see every trace of the sword body, if it was on weekdays, Mu Xiaoying would definitely admire, but at this moment, the sword blade was facing him, but he couldn't say anything.
The two sides made more than ten moves, and finally Mu Xiaoying took advantage of a gap to raise her hand to shoot down Sen Leng's long sword, and then clamped the opponent's sword-holding hand, and took the opportunity to tightly put the person into her arms with one hand, feeling the struggle of the person in her arms, she immediately said, "Hey, don't go on endlessly." She gritted her teeth, but Wu Peiling didn't hear it.
"How did you end up here, and you're still in this outfit. Wu Peiling asked in surprise, completely forgetting that the current posture of the two was very ambiguous.
Mu Xiaoying was even more angry when he heard it, he had been waiting for a day in vain, but he also knew that he was afraid that no matter how angry he was, he would probably not understand this person, and he was helpless.
"Of course it is" Before he could finish speaking, he heard a knock on the door outside and quickly hid.
Wu Peiling opened the door when she saw that someone was hiding, "What happened." ”
"Lord Bing, tonight an assassin broke into the palace and ran towards this area, have you noticed anything unusual. The guard asked cautiously.
Wu Peiling frowned her good-looking sword eyebrows, and said in a cold voice, "No, you guys go around the neighborhood again." Fooling people away, Wu Peiling turned around and just wanted to let people come out, she heard the voice of the palace maid, Xu Lianyi came over.
Wu Peiling didn't dare to delay, and immediately opened the door: "Niangniang, why do you have time to come to me?"
"I heard that Xiao Ying is going to leave tomorrow, so I came to look for you, and I heard that the outside said that it was an assassin who broke into the vicinity, and it seemed that he had run to this neighborhood, so I hurried over to take a look, how did I seem to hear the sound of someone fighting in your room. Xu Lianyi said with some concern.
"Uh, really? No, maybe they were wrong, I didn't hear anything, I was just practicing swordsmanship. Wu Peiling explained in a bit of a panic, not daring to look at Xu Lianyi's expression.
"Sister, let's go back first, if there is anything we can talk about tomorrow?" Wu Peiling coquettishly said that Xu Lianyi didn't have much on weekdays, and in private they were always called sisters, but at this time, they couldn't take care of it so much.
Xu Lianyi almost understood who the people in the room were, and she was just messing around, "Is it Xiao Ying inside?" Xu Lianyi asked bluntly.
Wu Peiling's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she didn't know how to explain it when she looked at the look in Xu Lianyi's eyes, where is she now, like a child who has made a mistake waiting for the punishment of adults.
"It's just nonsense, you are also messing around with him, if he is caught, he doesn't know how much of a joke he will make, it is a big crime to break into the palace at night, and he was almost caught, and you are also messing around with him. Xu Lianyi scolded embarrassedly.
"My good sister, Ling'er knows that she is wrong, so you can let me go this time. Wu Peiling changed her usual and carefully pulled the corner of Xu Lianyi's clothes, with pleading in her eyes.
"This is just one time, not the next one. After saying that, he sighed heavily, but still left.
Wu Peiling finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the people were gone, "Come out." ”
"It's not easy to see you. Mu Xiaoying covered her arms and said with a wry smile. It is still very tragic to underestimate the fate of the Praetorian Guard, and the injury on the arm is a witness.
Wu Peiling was startled and hurriedly helped the person to sit down, and bandaged it in a hurry, feeling very uncomfortable and a little angry, this person is always so reckless.
Mu Xiaoying looked at the other party's red eyes, and her heart was sweet, and she carefully hugged the person in her arms, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back, so I want to come to see you, Ling'er, I like you, you know." He looked closely at the person in his arms.
Wu Peiling's heart was beating like a drum for a while, and she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, and she was shrewd and capable on weekdays, and she could only recall the sentence I like you, and she didn't know how to respond to Mu Xiaoying, so she felt that her forehead was hot and her head seemed to explode, she, she was kissed.
"Ling'er, what about you? I like you, what about you?" asked Mu Xiaoying again.
Wu Peiling didn't forget that she was in the filial piety period and didn't dare to respond, so she couldn't help but drive people out.
Mu Xiaoying looked at the closed door and smiled bitterly, the jade pendant in her arms still didn't give it out, and when she left, the road went smoothly, but she knew that Xu Lianyi had already ordered it to go down.
After a few strokes of this kindness in her heart, Mu Xiaoying quickly disappeared into the night.
Day 2. At the gate of the city, Mu Yunting and Xu Lianyi saw off Mu Xiaoying, "Brother Huang, send it here, and the subordinate will live up to his mission." As he spoke, he turned around and left, but was stopped by Xu Lianyi.
"What do you command?"
"Xiao Ying, you must be very careful when you go here, let alone be so improper, just for Ling'er, you have to make some achievements. Xu Lianyi said earnestly.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, my brother knows what to do. Mu Xiaoying said firmly. Then he quickly got into the carriage and turned to leave.
The people in the inn were very mixed, but Mu Xiaoying was still very calm and did not affect his nobility, "How is the matter investigated." ”
"Lord Wang, the news that came said that Shen Mao, the prefect of Henan, was seriously greedy for ink, and the flood was caused by the damage to the embankment, and the local people complained to the government a long time ago but were suppressed, which caused the current situation, Shen Mao has been waiting at the largest restaurant in the city at any time, for the prince to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”
