Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 389
Liu Yunxiang pushed the clothes aside, patted Murong Zhixi and said, "You still have hope in her, so you will be disappointed."

"You mean I shouldn't expect anything from her?"

"No." Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "You clearly know that she no longer has mother-daughter affection for you, and she doesn't even have any sincerity. Fake affection is good, is it worth your cherishing?"

After hearing this, Murong Zhixi was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, "You're right, I've actually recognized it a long time ago. It's an insult from others."

The two were talking when they heard someone yelling outside, making a mess.

Soon a maid came in and said in a panic: "Princess, Qing Yuanxuan's maid Yuanyang jumped into the lake."

Murong Zhixi sat up in shock, "Jump into the lake? Has anyone been rescued?"

"The man was rescued, but he kept crying, saying he couldn't live, and wanted to jump in."

Murong Zhixi got off the arhat bed and asked the maid to help him up, "But what happened?"

The maid looked speechless, "You should go and have a look."

Seeing that Murong Zhixi was panicking, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to comfort her and said: "You are inconvenient now, just leave this kind of matter to the stewards of the palace to handle it, you don't have to go and ask it yourself."

Murong Zhixi frowned, "If it's someone else, I'll tell the steward, but this mandarin duck is different, she is the maid next to Concubine Ming, because His Highness has injuries and has not been able to heal well, so she specially transferred to take care of His Highness." Yes. I can't explain to Concubine Ming what happened to this mandarin duck."

Liu Yunxiang changed his mind when he heard the words: "I really have to go and see."

"Come with me." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "I'm afraid I can't handle it well."

"Isn't that good?" After all, it's a family matter, why should she get involved.

"Yunxiang, please, I'm afraid I won't handle it well, and Imperial Concubine Ming will blame me."

After the Queen's mother and concubine passed away, she was raised by Concubine Ming's side, so this Concubine Ming was considered to be Murong Zhixi's half-mother-in-law.Looking at Murong Zhixi again, he was obviously afraid of this mother-in-law, with a look of uneasiness, he held her hand tightly.

Liu Yunxiang held Murong Zhixi's hand instead, "Okay."

A group of people came to the lake in the back garden, where there were already many people, maids and servants, whispering directions one by one.

When Murong Zhixi came over, they hurriedly dispersed.

Liu Yunxiang saw a maidservant in a purple gown lying on the ground, her whole body wet, leaning against the arms of a lace-haired nanny in a brown gown.

She woke up, out of breath from crying.

"Mother Duan, what's going on?" Murong Zhixi frowned and asked the mother.

Nanny Duan put down the mandarin duck, stood up and bowed to Murong Zhixi, "Princess, this child entered the palace at the age of 12, and the imperial concubine saw that she was clever, so she stayed by her side to take care of her. This time, the empress is really worried about His Highness. Body, that's why Yuanyang came to take care of it, I don't want this kind of thing to happen. I dare to say a fair word, don't blame this girl."

Murong Zhixi became even more confused: "What happened, you have to explain clearly!"

At this time, the mandarin duck struggled to get up, and knelt down in front of Murong Zhixi, "This servant has no face to be a human being, the palace can't stay any longer, let alone go back to the palace, please be merciful to the princess, let this servant die!"

"What's going on, can't I let you decide?" Murong Zhixi said with a headache.

As a result, when she asked this question, the mandarin duck began to cry again, sobbing that it lay on the ground, repeating in its mouth: "This servant will not survive, this servant will have no face to live."

Murong Zhixi was distraught by her crying, and turned to look at Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to support Murong Zhixi, took a drink and said, "My concubine came here in person, I didn't hear you cry, one bite at a time would kill her, even if she really wanted to die, she shouldn't die in the palace, to bring bad luck to the palace! "

After saying this, Nanny Duan looked up at Liu Yunxiang, sized her up, and then asked Murong Zhixi: "Princess, isn't this from our palace?"

Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "She is my good friend."

"There shouldn't be meddling in the affairs of the palace.

"This……"

Liu Yunxiang snorted: "I'm too lazy to interrupt about your palace's affairs, but I feel sorry that the princess is about to give birth, and you servants are making trouble for her one by one!"

Nanny Duan glanced at Liu Yunxiang again, and was about to say something when Murong Zhixi cut her off.

"Yuanyang only cares about crying, Sister Duan, tell me."

Mother Duan took a deep breath when she heard the words, "This is what the old slave said. Last night His Highness drank outside and returned to Qingyuan Pavilion. The mandarin ducks served him. It's just that His Highness was drunk and the princess was pregnant. , the body has been inconvenient, maybe...cough cough...he pulled the mandarin duck onto the bed, the girl cried and shouted, and was afraid of hurting His Highness, so in the end, His Highness took her body."

"What?" Murong Zhixi couldn't help but staggered a step back when he heard that, tears welled up in his eyes, "You said His Highness wanted her?"

"Wuwu, I'm sorry for the concubine and the concubine." The mandarin duck knelt down and kowtowed a few more times, his forehead was swollen, and he looked so pitiful.

Murong Zhixi couldn't stand still, Liu Yunxiang helped her to sit down in the gazebo.

The nanny Duan also came over with the mandarin duck, "Princess, if you beat the mandarin duck, she deserves it, but after all, what happened, she is a big girl, so you can't really force her to death."

"Nurse Duan, please speak clearly, who wants to force her to death?" Murong Zhixi slapped the table in anger.

But Nanny Duan was not afraid, and said: "So, Wangfei, please make the decision and give Yuanyang a way to survive."

"A way to survive?" Murong Zhixi frowned, "How can my concubine give her a way to survive?"

"Of course I ask the princess to make the decision and accept her as His Highness's concubine."

Murong Zhixi clenched the handkerchief tightly, angry and hated, but didn't know what to say, how to deal with it, subconsciously went to look at Liu Yunxiang again.

Liu Yunxiang turned around in his heart, and said: "Wangfei, you can't just listen to her one-sided words, you have to ask His Highness to confirm this matter."

"Woooo!" Yuanyang cried even louder.

Nanny Duan also grimaced, "What do you mean by that? It's a matter of innocence. Could it be that she can splash dirty water on herself? Besides, she is a maid next to the imperial concubine, and the empress has long wanted to find a good marriage for her. It is absolutely impossible to be a concubine for others, this is enough to wrong her!"

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "It's about innocence, it's really not easy to talk nonsense. But I think, this maid looks... ahem... I can barely see it, even if His Royal Highness is drunk, he won't be able to face such a person. His face is chaotic, don’t you think so?”

As soon as these words came out, the mandarin duck's crying stopped, and there was a moment of grief and anger, but she couldn't refute, she couldn't yell that she was good-looking, right?

Nanny Duan's face darkened: "There's no need to mess around. This morning, a servant girl saw Yuanyang on His Highness's bed, and was pressed in his arms."

"If the concubine can't make decisions for the mandarin ducks, we will enter the palace and ask the concubine to uphold justice!"
