The tyrant has a purpose, abolishes the queen and enters the palace
Chapter 081, do some exercise
Seeing his gloomy expression, Mu Qingwan made a face at his back when he turned around, which made Zhaohe laugh out loud, "Sister-in-law, you are so funny, haha..."
Not far away, Xiahou Lie shouted: "Okay, come and see the emperor's grandmother."
Mu Qingwan put Ruxue down, washed her hands, slowly removed the disguise from Su Hanzhi's face, and removed the gold needles that had been stuck on her body to deliberately create a critical condition, and took the pulse carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhaohe was a little scared and said: "Just now when I came in and saw the emperor's grandmother, I was almost scared out of my wits."
As she said that, she lowered her head and sighed to Mu Qingwan who was stretching Su Hanzhi's muscles and bones: "Sister-in-law, how did you do it? You even fooled those imperial doctors."
"Actually, it's not difficult. I just sealed a few acupoints of my grandma with gold needles, making the diagnosis by those imperial physicians as if she was in critical condition. They originally hoped that grandma would be hopeless, but now the result they wanted appeared. There will be no doubts."
Hearing this, Su Hanzhi was amazed, held her hand and said, "My girl's medical skills are probably unmatched in the world except Wu Yazi."
Zhaohe hurriedly agreed, and although Xia Houlie secretly praised her medical skills in his heart, he still said indifferently on his face:
"You haven't said what method you will use to heal the imperial grandmother."
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the room looked at Mu Qingwan. Mu Qingwan smiled, held Su Hanzhi's hand and said:
"I don't know if you have read the "Historical Records Biography of Bian Quelun Gong"? There is a passage like this, 'There is Yu Yu, a doctor, who does not use soup to cure diseases, and uses Shiqiao Yin, and the case is poisonous and ironed. In response to seeing a disease, because of the infusion of the five internal organs, it is to cut the skin and relieve the muscles, tie the arteries and tendons, squeeze the brain, squeeze the barren claws, rinse the intestines and stomach, wash and wash the five internal organs, and practice essence and shape."
Several people chewed the meaning of the words carefully, Xiahou Lie was the first to react, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "You want to cut the skin and muscles of the imperial grandmother, and wash the five internal organs?"
Mu Qingwan knew how absurd such a shocking operation seemed to them in such a feudal society, but now she can only rely on this method to cure the empress dowager's illness, so she explained:
"Your Majesty is wise, although my grandmother's illness has been delayed by daily acupuncture and moxibustion with golden needles, if she is not treated in time, she will not only suffer from abdominal pain every full moon night, but also suffer from abdominal pain as those imperial physicians said just now. , within a month, grandma may..."
She paused, didn't say any more, held Su Hanzhi's hand tightly, looked at her and said word by word:
"Now there is only one way to cure grandma completely. If grandma believes in the girl, please let me try it. I assure you, I will never make fun of grandma's life, and I will definitely cure grandma."
Xia Houlie's face was still ashen, and his tone was somber: "If something happens to the emperor's grandmother, can you afford it?"
Zhaohe, who was also dumbfounded by Mu Qingwan's words, murmured after a long time: "Grandma is a rich man, it would be too..."
Seeing them like this, Mu Qingwan couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and blurted out:
"If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have used such a method, but now there is no other way. If grandma doesn't treat her, she won't be able to survive this winter either. Why don't you let me try?"
Xia Houlie was about to speak with a sullen face, but was interrupted by Su Hanzhi who had been silent all the time. She said calmly:
"I remember when I was young, I traveled to the south with my grandfather, and there I met a foreigner, who was blond and blue-eyed. The man once told us that the people there used to treat diseases by dissecting people's stomachs." Come on, at that time, I remembered that my grandfather scolded him for talking nonsense, so there really is such a thing in this world."
As she spoke, she stroked Mu Qingwan's slightly pale face, and said with a smile: "That's all. If I don't get cured anyway, I won't survive this winter. Why don't I let Qing girl try it, maybe it will be really cured."
Xia Houlie became anxious when he heard the words, "But..."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and interrupted him, "Grandson, you don't need to say anything, I've made up my mind, besides, I can trust the girl's medical skills!"
Mu Qingwan was both surprised and happy when she heard the words. The reason why she didn't make it clear at the beginning was that she was worried that the Empress Dowager would not be able to bear such a shocking medical method. Now that the old man is willing to accept her treatment, she was really happy, and hurriedly assured:
"Grandma, don't worry, the girl will definitely help you get well."
Su Hanzhi smiled and patted her hand, "Grandma believes in you!"
Looking up and seeing the two brothers Xia Houlie still looking worried, he hurriedly said a few words of comfort to signal them to relax, Xia Houlie turned his head and gave Mu Qingwan a hard look, and had no choice but to nod.
Mu Qingwan automatically ignored Xia Houlie's ugly face, and said seriously:
"The few imperial doctors outside were obviously sent by the Queen Mother to monitor grandma. Although my method can heal quickly, it is extremely debilitating. After the operation, grandma must rest for a while before she can fully recover. She cannot be disturbed in any way. If this happened a few more times, I am afraid it will be a big trauma to grandma's illness, and now that the temperature is getting lower and lower, the palace is not suitable for grandma to recuperate."
"what do you mean……"
"What I mean is that we have to find a way to isolate my grandma and me to a warmer place without any interruption during the treatment."
Xiahou Lie frowned: "It's not difficult to find a warm place. The northern suburbs of Los Angeles are surrounded by dense hot springs, and the climate is like spring all year round. It is an excellent recuperation place. If the emperor's grandmother wants to go, she can also find a famous place to go. , but you..." He glanced at her, "If you also disappear together, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Mu Qingwan rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "I have a way here."

As soon as Concubine Yun Gui followed Empress Dowager Yun back to the Hall of Compassion, she burst out laughing unconsciously, "Auntie, did you see that just now? That old woman's stomach is bigger than mine, she can't even drink the porridge, it seems she is It won't last a few days."
Empress Dowager Yun glared at her, and after observing that there were only confidants in the palace, she reprimanded in a low voice: "Be careful what you say in the palace. How did you end up!"
Concubine Yun said disapprovingly: "Auntie, what are you afraid of? These are all the confidantes of our Yun family. How can the old woman not make people laugh now? I think Daddy must be very happy to hear the news."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yun also smiled smugly, with a cold light in her eyes, "It's time to go to the palace with your father to discuss big plans."
Concubine Yun Gui was stunned, and said in panic: "Auntie, what big plan are you discussing with Dad? Is it true that you are really going to take away your cousin's throne? What about Luo'er and the fetus in her womb?"
After getting along for these years, she really fell in love with Xia Houlie. No matter what, she would never allow her father and aunt to do this.
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager Yun knew that she was really worried about Xia Houlie. Even though she didn't want Xia Houlie, a bastard, to be the emperor, she knew Zhaohe's temperament. She only returned to the palace after two years. This mother only greeted her in a distant manner, without any trace of mother-child affection at all.
She has been honored for half her life, and she has never been soft to anyone, but when she is old, she doesn't even like her own son. When she thinks of this, she feels extremely sad in her heart. If she really wins the throne for him now, he will probably be too. Don't bother to ask for it.
Instead of making my own son hate him and my niece and daughter not understanding, why not think of a way to get the best of both worlds?
So she took Yun Luo's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Luo'er, my aunt isn't that cruel. When she sent you into the palace to be the emperor's concubine, she never thought of dragging him down from the throne, but..." She Letting go of Yunluo's hand, she got up and walked to the window sill, looking at the withered autumn scenery outside the window, her tone was heavy, "The Ai family knows about your grievances over the years, so, no matter what, the Ai family will let you sit on the throne of the imperial concubine." position, and your child will also be the next king of Beiyan, if anyone dares to stand in the way, the Ai family will meet gods and kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas!"
"Auntie means..." She suddenly realized, "Are you going to start dealing with that Mu Qingwan?"
After a while, she was puzzled again:
"But that bitch is not liked by my cousin at all, so he was left out in the cold after entering the palace."
Empress Dowager Yun snorted coldly, "Do you think that neglecting her means that the emperor won't love her? You are thinking too simply. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, neglecting her does not necessarily mean dislike, and favoring her does not necessarily mean love. In the royal family, if there is no power behind it, the more favored the king is, the worse the death will be!"
Just like that bitch Concubine Yu back then.
Yunluo suddenly said: "Cousin is ignoring her like this, because he actually wants to protect her!"
As soon as she realized this, her beautiful eyes flashed viciously. It seems that she misjudged the situation and pointed all the blame at that bitch Zhou Churuo before. She didn't expect that the real confidant's serious trouble was actually the seemingly harmless Mu Qingwan.
"You're not stupid." Empress Dowager Yun nodded, with a ruthless look in her phoenix eyes, "Chu Concubine is just a cover for the emperor. What we really have to deal with is Mu Qingwan. It doesn't matter whether the emperor is sincere or not." If you like her, just because she occupies the position of queen, she deserves to die!"
*
The night in late autumn was chilly to the bone. Even if she covered herself with a quilt that was thick enough, she couldn't resist the chill on Mu Qingwan's body. She leaned on the bed, Ruxue gnawed at the ball of thread she threw to it, and had a great time playing with it. Yi Lehu made excited purring sounds from time to time, she looked at it quietly, but she was a little distracted.
In just ten days, she seemed to have passed a century. At this moment, she wanted to fly out of this cage immediately.
But, she can't, now grandma's illness still needs her, what's more, Xiahou Lie will not allow her to go, although because of grandma's illness, and his power struggle, he temporarily compromised with her and promised not Then use her father and mother to threaten her later, but as he said, no matter what, she is still his queen now and can only be controlled by him.
However, it will not happen overnight to bring down the power of the Yun family. It seems that she has to take action, and use the most effective method as soon as possible to make the Yun family accept the plan of implementing the three provinces and six ministries system and the imperial examination system. If it is implemented and the Yun family's power in the court is divided, then Xia Houlie's return to power is just around the corner.
However, what method should be used?
She concentrated on her thoughts, and a flash of Chen She's family suddenly appeared in her mind. When Chen She rebelled, in order to increase his prestige and organize the soldiers to follow his rebellion, people in the feudal society especially believed in ghosts and gods. Why not use the theory of ghosts and gods? To achieve the purpose?
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly became enlightened. Although she, a modern person, does not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, in the eyes of ancient people, it is more convincing than the imperial decree of the emperor, otherwise there would not be so many people in history. In order for the rebellion to be justifiable, some people played the banner of the imperial power granted by heaven and the destiny returned by heaven.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden exclamation in her ear, she turned her head subconsciously, and saw Mo Ge pointing at her bed with a surprised face, "Mother, Ruxue tore up your quilt. "
Mu Qingwan looked down, and sure enough, Ruxue was obviously not interested in that ball of thread anymore, and she was happily nibbling on her quilt, which was covered with its saliva and tooth marks, and some places were still scratched. It was torn apart, making her dumbfounded.
It seems that this dog not only looks like a Samoyed dog, but also has such similar hobbies. It is also a king of destruction.
She picked up Ruxue so that Mo Ge could clean up the completely gnawed quilt on the bed, but the door suddenly opened from the outside, and immediately after, Xia Houlie walked in.
Mu Qingwan looked at him in astonishment. According to their plan, shouldn't he be with Concubine Chu at this moment?
This thought flashed, and subconsciously asked in his mouth: "Why are you here?"
Xiahou Lie's cold eyes narrowed, "The whole Beiyan belongs to me, so why can't I come to Xingong, the head of the district?"
In a word, Mu Qingwan gritted her teeth secretly, knowing that she was indeed asking nonsense. This man is moody and unpredictable. She really shouldn't think that he is a person who can play cards according to common sense.
Seeing her reluctance, Xia Houlie was secretly furious. Is she so reluctant to see him?
"What is this for?" He glanced at Mo Ge who was busy.
Mo Ge hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the quilt was bitten by Ruxue, and the slaves are changing."
Xia Houlie was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood, his face turned dark: "You actually put it on the bed?"
Mu Qingwan thought he was disgusted with Ruxue Dirty, so she quickly looked up at him and said, "I've already bathed it."
Xia Houlie pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. After a while, he ordered lightly: "Take and throw away all the things on the bed, and replace them with new ones."
"Why?" Why change everything?It's just that the quilt is broken, so is it necessary to waste it like this?
He glanced at her, and said three words lightly: "I like it."
Mu Qingwan looked at the domineering man in front of her a little speechlessly, "But this is my bedroom after all, the emperor should ask my opinion no matter what."
His eyebrows slightly raised, "Do you want me to remind you of your identity?"
"you……"
Mu Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she knew that he was always one-sided, that he was as arrogant as a bull, and that he liked to use brute force at every turn, arguing with him was just a waste of words, so she simply stopped talking.
The atmosphere condensed, and Mo Ge felt the dark waves in the air. Under Xia Houlie's oppressive gaze, he gave Mu Qingwan a worried look, changed the bedding quickly and retreated.
Seeing that Xia Houlie was just sitting and drinking tea leisurely, Mu Qingwan didn't care about him, and walked towards the bed with Ruxue in her arms, but before she reached the bed, her hand was held, "If I see you again This little bastard is on your bed, I will throw it out."
She turned back to stare at him, and roared unbearably: "It's just a dog, can you stop being so overbearing?"
"I'll say it again, you can keep it if you want, but this little beast is not allowed to come close to the bed, and you are not allowed to hold it all the time!"
Look at her playful look, it seems that in her eyes, he, a big living person, is no better than a small animal.
Mu Qingwan felt that he was simply unreasonable, but seeing his face, she didn't want to provoke him, otherwise she would definitely suffer.
So he shook his hand, and hugged Ruxue to the corner, where she made a temporary nest for it.
As soon as she put the dog down, a big hand pulled it out, and then she watched him open the door with disgust and threw the dog out, quickly closed the door, and let it scratch the door outside.
The little thing was whining pitifully outside the door, and Mu Qingwan didn't care about Xia Houlie's ugly face, she turned around and wanted to open the door, but he was stuck in place with one sentence, "Are you really planning to let me throw it away?"
Hearing this sentence, Mu Qingwan's anger finally exploded, "Xia Houlie, don't go too far, you said that it is not allowed to get close to the bed, so how can I throw it in the kennel to hinder you?"
"Its nest is not allowed here." He dismissed her with one sentence, then turned around and undressed while walking towards the bed.
Mu Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't speak, if she could, she really wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times to vent her anger.
I kept telling myself to be calm and calm. There is no point in arguing with this kind of person. He will never obey you just because you are right.
Since he hated Ruxue so much, and she happened to hate him, it happened to be out of sight.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the door, wouldn't it be okay for her to disappear with Ruxue?
"It seems that you not only want me to throw it away, but also don't want it to live."
Hearing the meaning of his cold words, Mu Qingwan was so angry that her fingers were trembling, she took a deep breath, and then calmed down, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, why does she have to argue with him every time?Knowing that the final loser is definitely herself, he will always think of such and other means to make her submit, so why struggle so hard?
Seeing her standing still, Xia Houlie raised his chin at her, "Come and sleep."
Mu Qingwan clenched her fists, walked over slowly, took off her clothes, and lay down with her back to him.
After a while, I felt the quilt move, and then a big hand stretched out, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. His hot chest was pressed against her back, and his head came closer. , her breath sprayed hotly in her ears, and her petite body was tightly surrounded by him.
The smell of ambergris on his body engulfed her like a net, making her feel a little familiar, yet extremely strange.
Her anger has not dissipated, not to mention that she is not used to such an intimate posture, she subconsciously moved her body to break away, but he pressed closer, and his slightly hoarse voice came from beside her ear:
"If you can't fall asleep, I don't mind doing some exercise to help you fall asleep."
In a word, Mu Qingwan's body became stiff as iron, and she didn't dare to move any more, and even her breathing became lighter, for fear of disturbing the tyrant around her again and giving him an excuse to flaunt her beastly desires.
Her cuteness made Xia Houlie annoyed and funny, so she doesn't like his touch?
However, he really didn't want to touch her tonight, not because he didn't want her, but because he didn't want to force her anymore.
This is the first time he has embraced a woman without lust, and it feels pretty good.
It made him feel very peaceful and inexplicably solid. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had this sense of solidity. Perhaps, he had never had it since he was born.
Maybe this woman is really as the sixth brother said, not as miserable as he imagined.
She is like a mystery, always attracting him to understand for no reason, but when he thinks he has seen through her, there is a new side of her waiting for him to discover, from which side it seems to be her, but it is not all of her.
Originally, he only married her to abuse her, so that the members of the Mu family could also experience that heart-wrenching feeling. However, when he really saw her suffering, he didn't feel the pleasure of revenge at all, and instead felt extremely irritable , Just like that time when she had a fever, just like today when she looked at the shattered jade pendant and burst into tears.
When I went back to Qinzheng Palace from the imperial grandmother, I saw the fragments on the ground, and I squatted on the ground to pick them up one by one, and then called Li Changan, took the pile of fragments and ordered the craftsman Si Haosheng to glue it, not even a single piece of it. leak.
Thinking of going to Concubine Chu just now, although Zhou Churuo is not as stunning as Mu Qingwan, she is also a well-known beauty in Beiyan, and she is also extremely well-behaved and sensible. Every time she tries her best to please him, but when she is slender and slightly When Liang's fingers slid across his body, he thought of the cold snake inexplicably, and was extremely bored in his heart. After holding on for a long time, he finally couldn't take it anymore, and pushed her away, but he couldn't show disgust on his face. I had to find an excuse and said:
"I remembered that there are still some memorials that have not been approved. You can sleep alone tonight."
He didn't miss the gloomy look on Concubine Chu's face. What he hated the most in his life was the kind of woman who acted like a baby and liked to cry. Concubine Chu was extremely smart and had figured out his temper long ago, so she didn't pester him too much. Xia Houlie would never do such things as quietly dressing him and coaxing a woman. After thinking about it, he called Li Changan in, rewarded her with many things, and then left.
Coming out of Concubine Chu's Palace, he didn't go back to Qinzheng Palace, but just walked casually in the imperial garden, until Li Chang'an reminded him that he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the gate of Changxin Palace.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him?Perhaps, it was because she was too condescending. Even if the concubines in the palace were as arrogant as clouds, which one was not gentle and virtuous, obedient to him, obedient to his words, and trying their best to attract his attention?
Not far away, Xiahou Lie shouted: "Okay, come and see the emperor's grandmother."
Mu Qingwan put Ruxue down, washed her hands, slowly removed the disguise from Su Hanzhi's face, and removed the gold needles that had been stuck on her body to deliberately create a critical condition, and took the pulse carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhaohe was a little scared and said: "Just now when I came in and saw the emperor's grandmother, I was almost scared out of my wits."
As she said that, she lowered her head and sighed to Mu Qingwan who was stretching Su Hanzhi's muscles and bones: "Sister-in-law, how did you do it? You even fooled those imperial doctors."
"Actually, it's not difficult. I just sealed a few acupoints of my grandma with gold needles, making the diagnosis by those imperial physicians as if she was in critical condition. They originally hoped that grandma would be hopeless, but now the result they wanted appeared. There will be no doubts."
Hearing this, Su Hanzhi was amazed, held her hand and said, "My girl's medical skills are probably unmatched in the world except Wu Yazi."
Zhaohe hurriedly agreed, and although Xia Houlie secretly praised her medical skills in his heart, he still said indifferently on his face:
"You haven't said what method you will use to heal the imperial grandmother."

She leaned on the bed, Ruxue gnawed at the ball of thread she threw to it, and had a great time playing with it. Yi Lehu made excited purring sounds from time to time, she looked at it quietly, but she was a little distracted.
In just ten days, she seemed to have passed a century. At this moment, she wanted to fly out of this cage immediately.
But, she can't, now grandma's illness still needs her, what's more, Xiahou Lie will not allow her to go, although because of grandma's illness, and his power struggle, he temporarily compromised with her and promised not Then use her father and mother to threaten her later, but as he said, no matter what, she is still his queen now and can only be controlled by him.
However, it will not happen overnight to bring down the power of the Yun family. It seems that she has to take action, and use the most effective method as soon as possible to make the Yun family accept the plan of implementing the three provinces and six ministries system and the imperial examination system. If it is implemented and the Yun family's power in the court is divided, then Xia Houlie's return to power is just around the corner.
However, what method should be used?
She concentrated on her thoughts, and a flash of Chen She's family suddenly appeared in her mind. When Chen She rebelled, in order to increase his prestige and organize the soldiers to follow his rebellion, people in the feudal society especially believed in ghosts and gods. Why not use the theory of ghosts and gods? To achieve the purpose?
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly became enlightened. Although she, a modern person, does not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, in the eyes of ancient people, it is more convincing than the imperial decree of the emperor, otherwise there would not be so many people in history. In order for the rebellion to be justifiable, some people played the banner of the imperial power granted by heaven and the destiny returned by heaven.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden exclamation in her ear, she turned her head subconsciously, and saw Mo Ge pointing at her bed with a surprised face, "Mother, Ruxue tore up your quilt. "
Mu Qingwan looked down, and sure enough, Ruxue was obviously not interested in that ball of thread anymore, and she was happily nibbling on her quilt, which was covered with its saliva and tooth marks, and some places were still scratched. It was torn apart, making her dumbfounded.
It seems that this dog not only looks like a Samoyed dog, but also has such similar hobbies. It is also a king of destruction.
She picked up Ruxue so that Mo Ge could clean up the completely gnawed quilt on the bed, but the door suddenly opened from the outside, and immediately after, Xia Houlie walked in.
Mu Qingwan looked at him in astonishment. According to their plan, shouldn't he be with Concubine Chu at this moment?
This thought flashed, and subconsciously asked in his mouth: "Why are you here?"
Xiahou Lie's cold eyes narrowed, "The whole Beiyan belongs to me, so why can't I come to Xingong, the head of the district?"
In a word, Mu Qingwan gritted her teeth secretly, knowing that she was indeed asking nonsense. This man is moody and unpredictable. She really shouldn't think that he is a person who can play cards according to common sense.
Seeing her reluctance, Xia Houlie was secretly furious. Is she so reluctant to see him?
"What is this for?" He glanced at Mo Ge who was busy.
Mo Ge hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the quilt was bitten by Ruxue, and the slaves are changing."
Xia Houlie was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood, his face turned dark: "You actually put it on the bed?"
Mu Qingwan thought he was disgusted with Ruxue Dirty, so she quickly looked up at him and said, "I've already bathed it."
Xia Houlie pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. After a while, he ordered lightly: "Take and throw away all the things on the bed, and replace them with new ones."
"Why?" Why change everything?It's just that the quilt is broken, so is it necessary to waste it like this?
He glanced at her, and said three words lightly: "I like it."
Mu Qingwan looked at the domineering man in front of her a little speechlessly, "But this is my bedroom after all, the emperor should ask my opinion no matter what."
His eyebrows slightly raised, "Do you want me to remind you of your identity?"
"you……"
Mu Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she knew that he was always one-sided, that he was as arrogant as a bull, and that he liked to use brute force at every turn, arguing with him was just a waste of words, so she simply stopped talking.
The atmosphere condensed, and Mo Ge felt the dark waves in the air. Under Xia Houlie's oppressive gaze, he gave Mu Qingwan a worried look, changed the bedding quickly and retreated.
Seeing that Xia Houlie was just sitting and drinking tea leisurely, Mu Qingwan didn't care about him, and walked towards the bed with Ruxue in her arms, but before she reached the bed, her hand was held, "If I see you again This little bastard is on your bed, I will throw it out."
She turned back to stare at him, and roared unbearably: "It's just a dog, can you stop being so overbearing?"
"I'll say it again, you can keep it if you want, but this little beast is not allowed to come close to the bed, and you are not allowed to hold it all the time!"
Look at her playful look, it seems that in her eyes, he, a big living person, is no better than a small animal.
Mu Qingwan felt that he was simply unreasonable, but seeing his face, she didn't want to provoke him, otherwise she would definitely suffer.
So he shook his hand, and hugged Ruxue to the corner, where she made a temporary nest for it.
As soon as she put the dog down, a big hand pulled it out, and then she watched him open the door with disgust and threw the dog out, quickly closed the door, and let it scratch the door outside.
The little thing was whining pitifully outside the door, and Mu Qingwan didn't care about Xia Houlie's ugly face, she turned around and wanted to open the door, but he was stuck in place with one sentence, "Are you really planning to let me throw it away?"
Hearing this sentence, Mu Qingwan's anger finally exploded, "Xia Houlie, don't go too far, you said that it is not allowed to get close to the bed, so how can I throw it in the kennel to hinder you?"
"Its nest is not allowed here." He dismissed her with one sentence, then turned around and undressed while walking towards the bed.
Mu Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't speak, if she could, she really wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times to vent her anger.
I kept telling myself to be calm and calm. There is no point in arguing with this kind of person. He will never obey you just because you are right.
Since he hated Ruxue so much, and she happened to hate him, it happened to be out of sight.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the door, wouldn't it be okay for her to disappear with Ruxue?
"It seems that you not only want me to throw it away, but also don't want it to live."
Hearing the meaning of his cold words, Mu Qingwan was so angry that her fingers were trembling, she took a deep breath, and then calmed down, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, why does she have to argue with him every time?Knowing that the final loser is definitely herself, he will always think of such and other means to make her submit, so why struggle so hard?
Seeing her standing still, Xia Houlie raised his chin at her, "Come and sleep."
Mu Qingwan clenched her fists, walked over slowly, took off her clothes, and lay down with her back to him.
After a while, I felt the quilt move, and then a big hand stretched out, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. His hot chest was pressed against her back, and his head came closer. , her breath sprayed hotly in her ears, and her petite body was tightly surrounded by him.
The smell of ambergris on his body engulfed her like a net, making her feel a little familiar, yet extremely strange.
Her anger has not dissipated, not to mention that she is not used to such an intimate posture, she subconsciously moved her body to break away, but he pressed closer, and his slightly hoarse voice came from beside her ear:
"If you can't fall asleep, I don't mind doing some exercise to help you fall asleep."
In a word, Mu Qingwan's body became stiff as iron, and she didn't dare to move any more, and even her breathing became lighter, for fear of disturbing the tyrant around her again and giving him an excuse to flaunt her beastly desires.
Her cuteness made Xia Houlie annoyed and funny, so she doesn't like his touch?
However, he really didn't want to touch her tonight, not because he didn't want her, but because he didn't want to force her anymore.
This is the first time he has embraced a woman without lust, and it feels pretty good.
It made him feel very peaceful and inexplicably solid. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had this sense of solidity. Perhaps, he had never had it since he was born.
Maybe this woman is really as the sixth brother said, not as miserable as he imagined.
She is like a mystery, always attracting him to understand for no reason, but when he thinks he has seen through her, there is a new side of her waiting for him to discover, from which side it seems to be her, but it is not all of her.
Originally, he only married her to abuse her, so that the members of the Mu family could also experience that heart-wrenching feeling. However, when he really saw her suffering, he didn't feel the pleasure of revenge at all, and instead felt extremely irritable , Just like that time when she had a fever, just like today when she looked at the shattered jade pendant and burst into tears.
When I went back to Qinzheng Palace from the imperial grandmother, I saw the fragments on the ground, and I squatted on the ground to pick them up one by one, and then called Li Changan, took the pile of fragments and ordered the craftsman Si Haosheng to glue it, not even a single piece of it. leak.
Thinking of going to Concubine Chu just now, although Zhou Churuo is not as stunning as Mu Qingwan, she is also a well-known beauty in Beiyan, and she is also extremely well-behaved and sensible. Every time she tries her best to please him, but when she is slender and slightly When Liang's fingers slid across his body, he thought of the cold snake inexplicably, and was extremely bored in his heart. After holding on for a long time, he finally couldn't take it anymore, and pushed her away, but he couldn't show disgust on his face. I had to find an excuse and said:
"I remembered that there are still some memorials that have not been approved. You can sleep alone tonight."
He didn't miss the gloomy look on Concubine Chu's face. What he hated the most in his life was the kind of woman who acted like a baby and liked to cry. Concubine Chu was extremely smart and had figured out his temper long ago, so she didn't pester him too much. Xia Houlie would never do such things as quietly dressing him and coaxing a woman. After thinking about it, he called Li Changan in, rewarded her with many things, and then left.
Coming out of Concubine Chu's Palace, he didn't go back to Qinzheng Palace, but just walked casually in the imperial garden, until Li Chang'an reminded him that he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the gate of Changxin Palace.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him?Perhaps, it was because she was too condescending. Even if the concubines in the palace were as arrogant as clouds, which one was not gentle and virtuous, obedient to him, obedient to his words, and trying their best to attract his attention?
