The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 220 Four: Appointment with Dongling

"Little Li, servant of Yongshun's sect, pay your respects to Concubine De." The little eunuch held a food box in his hand, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

Mu Lan looked at him and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Lizi quickly offered the food box in his hand, and said: "This is the favorite snack of Xialiang people. An adult asked the younger one to send it over to honor you."

Mu Lan's heart moved slightly, but she became even more confused, "Which lord is it? I don't have any acquaintances outside the palace." [

Xiao Lizi replied: "The lord said that he was also entrusted by others, and it was not easy to send him here. After you have seen the contents of the food box, you will understand."

Outside the palace?Or was it changed hands?Could it be Xifeng?Mu Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Qingmei Qingxue to bring the food box.Qingmei Qingxue was quite cautious, opened the food box first, looked at the contents, and then handed it to Mulan.

Mu Lan glanced at it, and there were indeed several plates of snacks, a pair of chopsticks, and other things inside.Although the dim sum is exquisite, it doesn't show any tricks.If Xifeng really wanted to convey some news to her, he wouldn't have set her up some difficult puzzles, would he?Could it be that there is something hidden in the dim sum?Thinking of this, she picked up a piece and broke it open, but only saw the fruit stuffing inside and nothing else.

"Master, I don't know if I can eat the food that was sent in for no reason." Qing Mei only said that she wanted to eat, and hurriedly reminded her.

Mu Lan was a little reconciled, and said to the little Li, "Did the person who asked you to deliver the things not tell me anything else?"

Xiao Lizi shook his head and said: "If you go back to your mother, it's gone."

Mu Lan waved at him and said, "Then I will leave the things behind, you can go."

"Yes." Xiao Lizi kowtowed again, and then exited the hall.

After he left, Mu Lan told Qingmei Qingxue: "You guys help to find it quickly, and see if there is anything hidden in this cake."

Only then did Qingmei Qingxue understand, and hurriedly took out the plates of snacks and broke them again, but she didn't find out.Finally, Qingxue simply turned the whole food box upside down, the chopsticks inside rolled out, and the sound of landing on the ground was rather strange.

Mu Lan's eyes lit up, she picked up the chopsticks, weighed them, grabbed both ends and pulled out, and sure enough, the chopsticks became two pieces, with a paper-like thing wrapped in the middle.Mu Lan suddenly became excited, and quickly unfolded the small roll of paper.

However, the word "daughter" at the very beginning made her heart skip a beat. Is this a letter written to her by the King of Xia Liang?Mu Lan's mind suddenly flashed the old figure in the dragon robe, and the corners of his eyes were a little sour.

The letter was very short, using a style similar to classical Chinese, but fortunately it was not too difficult for Mu Lan to understand.In the letter, the old king mentioned that Xia Liang had started a war with Youqiong, and Xiao Yi led his troops to fight.It's just that at such a time when there is no harvest, the supply of food and grass may be insufficient. There are poor countries that are better than Xia Liang in terms of combat power, and the food and grass in the country can only last for a month at most. The situation is dire.

At the end, I mentioned Mulan's last prison disaster. There was a jewelry shop in Beijing, and it was their Xia Liang's eyeliner in the West Chu State, which was used to convey some important news about the West Chu State.The old king had already heard about what happened to her in Beijing, and he was very worried.Now that she is fighting with Youqiong, she doesn't know what the consequences will be, so she told her that it would be best if she could get the emperor to come forward to negotiate a peace, if not, she would try her best to keep herself safe and not have to worry about her elders in her hometown.

After reading the letter, Mu Lan was already in tears.I suddenly thought of my parents who were far away in another time and space. If they knew what happened to her here, they didn't know what it would be like to worry.If they encountered any difficulties, she couldn't even know the news, let alone offer any help.She also knows that with her parents' love for her, what she hopes most is to know that she is living well, but as a daughter, she is extremely unfilial.

"Master, whose letter is this that made you so sad?" Qingmei Qingxue was a little flustered for a while, and then wiped her tears and comforted her.

Mu Lan blinked the tears in her eyes, and said to Qingmei Qingxue: "About this letter, none of you is allowed to reveal a word, even if the king asks, you can't say it, you know?"

Although Qingmei Qingxue did not understand, she still responded obediently: "Master, don't worry, if you shouldn't say anything, the slaves will definitely rot in their stomachs."

Only then did Mu Lan feel relieved, she got up and walked to the oil lamp, and burned the letter in her hand.After finishing all this, he said to Qingxue: "Go to Hanwu Palace and send a message, just say that I have something to say, please come here early, Your Majesty."

The seriousness on her face made Qingxue's heart sink, she answered "Yes" and left the palace.

Yes, she is Mulan, but she also has parents and relatives, she is not cold-blooded, she can't just stand by and be moved by such euphemistic pleas from a father.Occupying Jin Ning's body was not intended, but at least let her do something for her.

Qingxue came back quickly, and brought Dong Lingjue's reply, saying that she would come soon.Sure enough, as soon as Mu Lan taught him to prepare dinner, he had already appeared in Jinfu Palace.

As soon as Dong Ling Juefu saw her, he frowned slightly, then stepped forward and grabbed her chin, scrutinized her face with black eyes, and said, "What's wrong with you? Have you been crying? "

Mu Lan broke free from his hand, turned her head away, and said, "Please forgive me, I am not as good at hiding myself as Your Majesty."

Hearing that her tone was wrong, Dong Lingjue lowered his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"What happened? I only learned the answer to this sentence from others." Mu Lan said, looking directly at him, "Your Majesty, how long are you going to keep it from me?"

Dong Lingjue vaguely guessed something from her eyes, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, he sighed helplessly, and said, "You know everything?"

Mu Lan shook her head and said, "How could I guess your heart? Why did you hide such a big matter from me? Why did you stand by? What do you think? I don’t know any of these answers.”

Dong Lingjue's expression was a bit complicated for a moment, he stared at her for a while, and then said: "Then, what do you want me to do?"

Mu Lan was a little annoyed by his rhetorical question, she bit her lips, and said, "Does Your Majesty need to ask me about something that everyone knows? Or do you want me to kneel down and beg you to come forward and let me know?" Is there a poor country that strikes?”

"You clearly know that I don't have such intentions." Dong Lingjue grabbed her and said, "I let someone hide it from you, but I just don't want to affect your body because of this matter, and I'm not as terrified as you think .”

"Really?" Mu Lan looked at him questioningly, "Then, how long are you going to hide it from me? Are you going to give me a fatal blow when everyone in the world knows that Xia Liang was defeated and regained strength? "

Dong Lingjue was also pissed off by her, and said coldly: "Can't you feel whether I'm sincere or not to you? Are you so sure that I didn't do anything?"
