The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 396

The patrolling officers and soldiers got orders from above, saying that they wanted to strengthen the guards in the capital.But for what reason, they don't know either.

So they patrolled aimlessly in the capital.

Suddenly, a woman came out from the alley ahead. The woman had a beautiful bun, gorgeous clothes, and any jewelry on her body was enough for ordinary people to spend for several years.

But these are not the most precious, the most precious is the woman's face.

These officers and soldiers were stunned, as if standing there was a fairy in the sky. The girl walking out of the painting, every frown, smile and every move makes people unable to move their eyes away.

They watched quietly for a long time, but they couldn't get enough of it.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers caught up with them that they woke up completely.But they dared not go forward, for fear of desecrating the fairy.

Until someone said: "Could she be the second lady of Dingguo Duke's Mansion that His Royal Highness the Xian Wang is looking for?"

This sentence awakened everyone, and they rode forward on horseback.

Mu Qingyu half covered her face with her wide sleeves, and said pitifully, "I'm lost, can you take me home?"

"You are the second lady of Duke Ding's Mansion?"

Mu Qingyu nodded slightly.

"His Royal Highness is looking for you, I'm afraid you have to go with us."

Mu Qingyu's round apricot eyes showed surprise, and his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked puzzledly: "What is His Highness Xian Wang looking for me? Could it be that Xian Wangfei is looking for me? Xian Wangfei and I are direct sisters. It's the same if you say anything tomorrow."

She revealed her relationship with Concubine Xian without any trace, and sure enough, the group of people opposite looked at her with more respect.

Now who dares to make trouble with Prince Xian's mansion?
"It's the order of His Royal Highness, Miss, please come with us and don't make things difficult for us." The tone of the group of people was quite polite.

Mu Qingyu lowered his eyes, as if thinking about it.The group of officers and soldiers waited patiently, not daring to make mistakes.

Until another group of patrolling officers and soldiers arrived here, Mu Qingyu immediately made a decision, "Alright then, I'll go into the palace with you."

So the officers and soldiers got off their horses and took Mu Qingyu on foot to the palace.

After a group of people left in a mighty manner, Madam Fan came out of the alley with a small box in her hand, and quickly headed towards Prince Jin's Mansion.

Three teams of officers and soldiers left in a row, and it was safer for the two of them to walk on the road.

Mu Qingyu walked very slowly, because she was Princess Xian's older sister, no one dared to rush her.

She entered the palace and was taken to a place not far from the imperial study.Xian Wang was furious and had no time to take care of her.

Therefore, there was no one else besides the two maids watching.

Mu Qingyu sniffed, always feeling a strange smell in the air.

She sat down on the stone stool and walked all the way, her legs and feet were a little weak.

When the two maids saw it, they didn't say anything.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the imperial study room, and five or six imperial guards came over, passed Mu Qingyu and left.

Judging by their expressions, it seems that they are going to do a big event.

While Mu Qingyu was still pondering, a scream not far away made her almost slip off the stone bench in fright.

She made up her mind, looked towards the source of the sound, and immediately saw that the owner of the scream was Duan Xun who had taunted her before.

Duan Xun knelt on the ground and cried out in a sharp voice, "Don't kill me, I don't want to die yet! Daddy, save me!"

In front of her stood two guards with knives. The guards held the sabers at their waists and hung them over her head.

Duan Xun took a quick look, her heart jumped into her throat, and she could only keep crying and begging for mercy.

Her voice was so sharp that it hurt people's heads.

But the two guards held their knives and remained motionless, as if they were waiting for an order.

In just one stick of incense, Duan Xun had said all the words and phrases he could think of begging for mercy.

Her throat was hoarse, and she still didn't dare to stop.She was afraid that the two knives would fall down at any time.

"My lords, my lords! As long as you let me go, I can do whatever you want!"

An eunuch came over from the imperial study room, and seeing the eunuch wave his hand, the two guards finally reacted and took back their sabers.

The eunuch walked up to Duan Xun, stared at her condescendingly, and said, "You can go back."

Duan Xun didn't react for a while, and when he knew that his life was saved, he hurriedly kowtowed to the three people in front of him, "Thank you...Thank you, sir..."

Duan Xun stood up on both hands and feet. After kneeling for a long time, her legs became numb.

She didn't dare to stay in this dangerous place for a moment, so she limped along with the eunuch to the Hall of Great Harmony.

When he walked to a place not far from Mu Qingyu and looked into the other's clear eyes, Duan Xun knew that Mu Qingyu must have seen her embarrassed appearance just now, and he didn't know how Mu Qingyu laughed at himself in his heart.

Duan Xun was ashamed and annoyed, because the eunuch didn't dare to do anything, so he had no choice but to say harshly, "It's your turn next!"

Mu Qingyu glanced at her with a half-smile, then looked away with disdain.

Duan Xun was extremely angry, "Hmph, with the knife on your neck later, you won't be much better!"

"Miss Duan, don't embarrass our family." The eunuch who walked several steps away urged impatiently.

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Duan Xun replied reassuringly, ignoring Mu Qingyu, and followed with the fastest speed.

Another eunuch came out of the imperial study room, and this time Mu Qingyu was invited over.

When the eunuch walked to Mu Qingyu's side, the two guards who had just stood in front of Duan Xun walked to Mu Qingyu's sides at some point.

The eunuch gave them a sideways look, "Miss Mu is a distinguished guest, you still don't back down!"

"Yes." The two guards retreated into the distance.

The eunuch smiled and said: "Please, Miss Mu, go with the servant."

"Eunuch leads the way." Mu Qingyu stood up and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

The eunuch deliberately avoided the courtiers standing outside the imperial study, and led Mu Qingyu into the imperial study without a sound.

I saw the virtuous king sitting on the couch, drinking tea and snacks.

Seeing Mu Qingyu coming in, the Xian Wang smiled and asked, "Why did Second Miss leave the palace? Is it because the dishes made by the Imperial Dining Room are not to your liking?"

Mu Qingyu saluted first, and then replied: "No, it was my servant who accidentally offended Princess Changle. Princess Changle reprimanded my servant, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she went out of the palace willfully."

The Xian Wang originally wanted to follow Mu Qingyu's words, but after hearing her answer, he thought he was thinking too much.

Back then, the queen had put Mu Qingyu under house arrest in the palace because of the mulberry leaf incident, which almost ruined Mu Qingyu's reputation.

How could the queen trust Mu Qingyu and hand over Yuxi to her?
King Xian shook his head, thinking he was overthinking.
