XVII. Old things in King Mu's mansion
When Lin Xue pulled Qin Feiyu and Liu Ziqi in, Shen Yu Xiangchen and the others had already left the Star Picking Tower, leaving only the wine glasses that had not had time to be withdrawn.
At this time, Shen Yu and Xiang Chen were on their way back, but they saw Qing Yi, the elder of the Inviting Moon Palace, walking towards them a little anxiously.
"Uncle Qingyi!" After the two saw each other, they bowed their hands.
"Shen Yu, have you seen Xiao Yun?" Qing Yi stepped forward to ask Mu Xiaoyun, obviously very anxious.
"Little junior sister, haven't you seen it, but Uncle Shi is looking for her in a hurry?" asked Xiang Chen in surprise.
Qingyi didn't bother to answer Xiang Chen, she just frowned and said to herself: "This girl! I told her not to run around in the Invitation Moon Hall these days, but she didn't listen!"
Elder Qingyi, who has always been reserved, was a little out of shape at this time.
"You two also help me find her, if you meet, no matter what she wants to do, you must let her go back to the Moon Invitation Hall to wait for me first!"
After Elder Qingyi said this, he left in a hurry, and Shen Yu and Xiang Chen, who were standing in place, were greatly confused.
Xiang Chen looked at Elder Qingyi who left in a hurry puzzled, Mu Xiaoyun was clever and lively by nature, today's Star Picking Courtyard was so lively, maybe he couldn't tell where he was going to play, why was Uncle Shi so anxious?
"That's right, the little junior sister will ask you every day to ask for demon hunting techniques and practice mental methods, but I haven't seen her all day today. Xiang Chen suddenly realized.
"There must be something, go, go find her!" Shen Yu's face changed, and he and Xiang Chen walked quickly around the Star Picking Courtyard to look for it.
After King Wu led the royal family to the Star Picking Academy, Elder Qingyi told Mu Xiaoyun that she was already a disciple of the Star Picking Academy, and she should no longer be willful and messy about some things in the past, so as not to cause trouble.
Mu Xiaoyun also immediately promised that Qingyi would stay obediently in the Invitation Moon Palace, and told Qingyi with a smile that she was no longer a child, and the master had told her so much, she had already figured it out. Qingyi looked at Mu Xiaoyun with a serious face, smiled and nodded, and then said no more.
Who knew that when Elder Qingyi returned to the Invitation Moon Hall after participating in the 'Heavenly Punishment' ceremony, Mu Xiaoyun had already disappeared, Qingyi knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to the residence arranged by the academy for the royal family to look for it, but he did not find Mu Xiaoyun.
Qingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still worried that Mu Xiaoyun would do something stupid, so she searched everywhere in the Star Picking Courtyard, and happened to bump into Shen Yu Xiangchen and the others, who had a good relationship with Mu Xiaoyun, so there was a scene just now.
And a few hours ago, Mu Xiaoyun inquired about the residence of the two princes of the Liang Palace, and those royal family members lived in the Liuyun Pavilion of the Star Picking Courtyard.
As the sun turns westward, most of the royal children did not return to the room arranged by the Star Picking Courtyard to rest, but wandered around in the Star Picking Courtyard in twos and threes, as the place with the strongest aura in the imperial capital, every flower and plant here is refreshing.
Liuyun Pavilion has three floors, the rooms on each floor are connected by a corridor, and the locations are independent of each other, at this moment Liuyun Pavilion is quiet and no one is in general, Mu Xiaoyun, who was originally cautious, was happy in her heart, and went up to the second floor with a raised eyebrow, the room of the two sons of Liang Wangfu was on the second floor, she walked to the front of the room lightly, and found through the window that there was no one in the room.
Mu Xiaoyun frowned, pushed the door and tried it, but found that the door was locked, so she had to lean in front of the door, constantly turning her smart eyes.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a rush of footsteps in Liuyun Pavilion, and Mu Xiaoyun immediately hid and glanced down.
"It's miserable!" Mu Xiaoyun secretly screamed and left here in a hurry.
It was Elder Qingyi who came in, and after hearing a sound of footsteps upstairs, she looked there and said, "Xiao Yun, is that you?"
Seeing that no one answered, Qingyi quickly followed.
The four corners of Liuyun Pavilion are four guest rooms, and the corridors are connected to each other, but the stairs downstairs are only one that Fang Qingyi followed, Mu Xiaoyun ran through the corridor to another room, and saw that Qingyi was about to follow, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in and hurriedly closed the door.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she hid in, and when she turned around, she found a handsome young man with long hair sitting in the room, looking at her with a puzzled expression, still holding a book in his hand.
Mu Xiaoyun was suddenly embarrassed, raised her hand with a red face and pointed outside the house and said, "I'm sorry, I, I went to the wrong room." ”
"Xiao Yun, are you in there?"
There was a knock at the door.
"Shh
The young man was about to speak, but Mu Xiaoyun made a silent gesture towards him.
"Don't tell anyone I'm here!" Mu Xiaoyun whispered to him nervously, and hurriedly hid.
The man looked at Mu Xiaoyun's appearance in front of him, smiled helplessly, and after Mu Xiaoyun hid inside, he got up and opened the door.
"Elder Qingyi, what's the matter?" the man asked, opening the door and pretending to be confused.
"It turned out to be the emperor's son, and I just heard a voice upstairs, so I came here to take a look. ”
Qingyi saw that it was Huangfu Yu, the fourth prince of the Rongguo Mansion, who opened the door, and couldn't help but look into the hall, but saw that there was no one inside.
"Oh, Shi Cai was a little bored in the room, so he walked outside, not wanting to disturb Elder Qingyi. ”
"So, has that boy ever seen a female disciple from our academy come here?"
Huang Fuyu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but what's the matter?"
Qingyi smiled slightly and said, "It's not very important, since that's the case, then I won't bother the son." ”
After saying that, he left here, and after watching Qingyi leave, Huangfu Yu closed the door.
"Alright, come out. ”
Mu Xiaoyun walked out of it with a probe in her head.
She smiled and said to the man in front of her, "Thank you so much this time!"
Huang Fuyu smiled and said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, in the next Huang Fuyu, dare to ask the girl?"
"Oh, so you're from the Huangfu family, so it's no wonder I smell medicine as soon as I come in. Without waiting for Huang Fuyu to finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyun took care of herself and said.
"Hehe, the girl knows what's next?"
"The Huangfu family is a famous alchemy family in the imperial capital, the Rongguo Gong who is specially sealed by the emperor, who has never heard of it, hehe, my name is Mu Xiaoyun, a disciple of Elder Qingyi of the Star Picking Academy. ”
Huang Fuyu looked at the woman in front of him, and his eyes stayed on the jade pixiu hanging on Mu Xiaoyun's waist.
"You, why are you staring at me?"
Huang Fuyu raised the corners of his mouth and said with interest: "Dare to ask the girl why she is here?"
Those bright eyes stared at her as if they were peeking into Mu Xiaoyun's heart.
Mu Xiaoyun said with a little emptiness: "I came to find a friend, but I just went to the wrong room." ”
"Dare to ask the girl, but Zhao Cheng and Zhao He of the Liang Wangfu are looking for?"
"No, I haven't heard of them before!" Mu Xiaoyun's heart tightened when she heard these two names, and she immediately raised her head to refute.
Huang Fuyu sat down and stared at Mu Xiaoyun lightly.
"You are the little county lord of King Mu's mansion!" Huang Fuyu said slowly.
Mu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and her face lost its previous agility in an instant.
"What do you mean?" she said, a little flustered.
"A few months ago, there was a major event in the imperial capital that made everyone sigh, that is, the famous ancient family Mu Wangfu was raided by the emperor, the cause was the political entanglement between King Mu and King Liang, but King Liang, who was in charge of copying the family, did not know that there was a special lineage of relatives in King Mu's mansion, and the children of this line have been in the palace almost every day since birth, rarely showing up, and their women never even marry. ”
Huangfu Yu glanced at Mu Xiaoyun and continued: "There is a Lady Ning Yue in King Mu's Mansion who is this secret vein, I only found out when I went to practice medicine with my father, and the jade pendant on her body is exactly the same as on you, I have been to Mu Wangfu many times, but I have never seen you, you are also that secret vein, right?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyun's eyes were already filled with tears, and she nodded indifferently: "You're right, Mrs. Ning Yue is my mother." ”
"So, you want to secretly find Zhao Cheng and Zhao He this time and take revenge on King Liang, right? Then have you ever thought about what you can do to them? Once others know that you are the county lord of King Mu's mansion, how will the Star Picking Academy explain to the Emperor of People?"
"I just!" Mu Xiaoyun was speechless for a while.
Huang Fuyu slowly stood up, looked out the window and sighed: "King Mu's sorrow, everyone knows that the fault is not King Liang, the affairs of the royal family, there is no right or wrong, and there is no merit. ”
"But he ruined my home!"
Mu Xiaoyun burst into tears.
Huang Fuyu looked at the woman in front of him, shook his head, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
"A woman like you, you shouldn't have such a story, Elder Qingyi can bring you here, maybe it is also fate that favors you. ”
Mu Xiaoyun stopped talking, she cried for a long time, and Huang Fuyu just looked at her quietly from the side, without saying a word, gradually, Mu Xiaoyun finally calmed down.
"I won't tell anyone about you, I just hope you can really forget the past and live happily. ”
"Thank you. She said lightly with red eyes and was about to leave.
"You can't go. Huang Fuyu suddenly spoke.
"What else do you want?"
"I have an endgame, you accompany me to finish and leave. ”
"I won't, you go down by yourself. "Then he will leave.
"If you leave, I'll tell Elder Qingyi to go!"
"Hey!"
When she was in King Mu's Mansion, in addition to her parents, Mu Xiaoyun's favorite and most feared was this Qingyi Elder of the Star Picking Academy, and later Qing Yi took great risks to smuggle her to the Star Picking Academy, and changed her name to Mu Xiaoyun as a disciple, she didn't want this master to worry about herself anymore.
"It's just an endgame, it's going to be over soon, as long as it's done, you can go. ”
Huangfu Yu put the chessboard on the table as he spoke, at this time he looked proud, and he was like two people from before, in fact, the reason why he wanted this was just to make Mu Xiaoyun turn his mind as soon as possible and stop being sad, but also because he was afraid that Mu Xiaoyun would go out and find the two sons of Liang Wangfu.
Mu Xiaoyun sat down helplessly, and looked angrily at the smiling Huangfu Yu in front of her and picked up the chess pieces, she grew up in King Mu's mansion since she was a child, so she naturally knows how to play chess.
An hour has passed, and the endgame is not over yet, and Mu Xiaoyun's sadness has been wiped out, and he is as lively and agile as usual.
"This doesn't count, I'll go through it again!" Mu Xiaoyun quickly withdrew a chess piece that had become a grape in a huff.
"This is your thirteenth repentance. Huangfu Yu said helplessly with his chin on his chin .
"Who asked you to lie to me, this is an endgame, it's almost an hour before it ends. ”
After speaking, he took care of himself and took back all the moves he and Huang Fuyu took.
"Shen Yu, where do you say this little junior sister can run so late, I haven't seen her shadow in the entire Star Picking Courtyard. ”
At this time, Xiang Chen's shouting suddenly came from outside.
Mu Xiaoyun perked up when she heard this, and immediately stood up and ran over to open the door.
"Brother Shen Yu, I'm here!"
She shouted happily to the two.
Xiang Chen Shen Yu turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoyun in amazement after hearing this.
"Little junior sister, why did you come here, Elder Qingyi is looking for you everywhere?"
The two came to the room, and Huang Fuyu also looked at the two with a smile.
"Brother Huangfu?" Shen Yu and Xiang Chen were even more surprised.
"Eh, little junior sister, you?" Shen Yu's eyes widened.
"Hehe, I have nothing to do in my spare time, just find Miss Xiaoyun to play chess with me. ”
"Yes, I play chess!" Mu Xiaoyun also nodded with a smile.
"Playing chess?" Xiang Chen was incredibly surprised.
Mu Xiaoyun glanced at Xiang Chen, who asked three times in a row, and said, "What's wrong with playing chess?
"Hey you!"
Xiang Chen was just about to fight back but was stopped by Shen Yu, he glanced at Huangfu Yu and smiled: "Brother Huangfu, Elder Qingyi still has something to do with the little junior sister, let's go down another day." ”
Huang Fuyu nodded: "If there is anything to disturb, please forgive Miss Xiaoyun." ”
Mu Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Huang Fuyu.
Shen Yu whispered to Mu Xiaoyun: "Let's go, your master seems to have an urgent matter looking for you." ”
"Well, I didn't want to go down for a long time!"
After that, he pulled Shen Yu to leave.
"Brother Shen, she is very simple and cute. Before leaving, Huang Fuyu smiled and whispered to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded at him, and left there with his hand.
On the way back, Mu Xiaoyun said with a humble heart: "You must not tell Master Qingyi that I am there." ”
"Thinking beautifully, Shen Yu and I found the night. As soon as Xiang Chen finished speaking, he was stepped on by Mu Xiaoyun.
Shen Yu smiled and knocked on Mu Xiaoyun's forehead: "Don't run around next time, your master will be worried, you know?"
"Got it!"
The bright moon hung high, and Huangfu Yu stood by the window and looked at the three people walking away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
