Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 39
With so many people sitting here, what could happen to her?

Murong Wei didn't worry too much when she thought of this.

"Hey, isn't this sister Murong?"

Murong Wei turned her head and saw that the girl in front of her was wearing a light-yellow golden lanthanum-trimmed beanie with folded branches and flowers. She was pretty and lovely, and she was coming over with a face full of surprise, "Sister Murong, do you remember me?"

"It's Sister Qin Yao, long time no see." How could Murong Wei not remember her, besides, her second sister is going to marry to Jianningbo Mansion now, and the two will be relatives from now on.

Qin Yao looked at Yunxia who was on the side, and hurriedly greeted her.

The two parties sat down separately, Qin Yao said with a smile: "Since that time, I wanted to post a post for you, but the two families have discussed marriage. I thought it would be inconvenient for you to come here. Then this happened again. The thing is, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that you and my two families are also relatives, we can communicate more."

Yunxia sipped her tea and said, "That's right, the second sister is going to get married in the future, so I should ask my younger sister to take care of her more."

Qin Yao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is very polite, it should be, and I also know Sister Yue, I have always liked her very much, this time I know that she is going to be my sister-in-law, I don't know how happy I am, I just look forward to it It would be better for her to marry earlier."

Although Murong Wei had some doubts whether the Qin family sent Qin Yao to approach Murong Yue first, but she didn't know exactly how.

Besides, Qin Yao didn't do anything, so naturally she wouldn't lose her manners.

"Although I also want to associate with you, it's just that it's inconvenient for me to go to your house now." Murong Wei said lightly.

Qin Yao nodded: "Isn't that right, I have some scruples."

While talking, a servant girl from Bo's mansion over there brought tea with a gold-painted tea tray and a tea cup. Murong Wei took the tea bowl, but the tea bowl was extremely hot. He stopped, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"oops!"

The servant girl cried out in fright, but saw the tea bowl was torn apart. Although the hot tea did not splash directly on Murong Wei, when she fell to the ground, the tea still splashed and wet her skirt. Thick, Murong Wei only felt hot, but was not burned.

But the good-looking skirts are too much to wear.

Everyone was taken aback by the incident, Yunxia reacted first, stepped forward and hurriedly grabbed Murong Wei's hand and asked, "Where is my sister hurt?"

Murong Wei's expression also reflected from the change, and she quickly said: "It's nothing, I'm wearing thick clothes, so I didn't get burned."

Qin Yao frowned and looked at the maidservant. Mrs. Xiang had already come over, her face was slightly grave: "What's going on?"

The servant girl was so frightened that she fell to her knees: "Damn it, I didn't hold the teacup and burned the lady, please punish me!"

The eldest lady snorted, and at this time Mrs. Shizi, who was in charge of entertaining the guests, also came. When she came in, her expression changed immediately when she saw the scene, and she hurriedly asked, "Is Xiangjun all right? This girl is useless. See how I beat him to death!"

Murong Wei heard what she said, so naturally it is impossible for someone to beat the maid to death, although she also doubts why the cup of tea is so hot, it stands to reason that such negligence should not happen when serving guests.

But, it is not necessarily impossible to make mistakes.

It's just that since she wasn't hurt, it's not easy to hold on to someone's mistakes when she's a guest, she just smiled and said: "It's okay, Madam just spared this servant girl, I think she's just careless, I'm fine. "

Only then did Mrs. Shizi heave a sigh of relief, and she sternly asked the servant girl to be dragged down, and then she smiled and apologized to Mrs. Da Furen: "Look at me, I've been so busy all day that I'm dizzy, yet I have such negligence."

The doctor didn't care whether Murong Wei was injured or not, since she said she was fine, she didn't bother to care about her making a fool of herself.

"It's not your fault, it's just an accident."

"Although I said so, I still feel sorry, or else. I think Xiangjun's clothes need to be changed, so let someone take her to change clothes."

"Alright, Wei'er, you can change your clothes first." The eldest lady said casually.

"Mother, why don't I go with Third Sister?" Yunxia said.

The eldest lady waved her hand: "No need, go and change clothes, won't you be back in a while?"

Qin Yao, who was about to open her mouth, saw that the eldest lady had said this, so naturally it was difficult to talk to her, so she glanced at Murong Wei worriedly.

Murong Wei nodded: "Then thank you Madam."

Mrs. Shizi took her away from Shuanghuaxuan, and said apologetically: "Shuanghuaxuan has a lot of girls here because of today's birthday, and there are also opera troupes here. There are so many people with mixed eyes. I didn't expect the maids to be too You are clumsy, but fortunately you are fine, Mr. Xiang, otherwise I would have a hard time explaining to my cousin."

Murong Wei glanced at Lu'er who was waiting outside Shuanghuaxuan in the retreat. At this moment, Lu'er saw that her clothes were wet, and her expression changed, and she came up to support her.

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. I have nothing to do now, so don't let Madam worry about it."

Mrs. Shizi pointed a fifteen or sixteen-year-old clever maid over here, and asked her to take Murong Wei to change clothes and freshen up.

Lu'er frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, why is she so good..."

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes, glanced at the servant girl, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the tea is too hot, so I didn't hold it back."

Lu'er's eyes moved, she didn't ask her again, but smiled and asked the maid who led the way: "Sister, I don't know where we are going to change clothes?"

The servant girl also quickly replied: "My maidservant Qiaoyun, because there are singers at Shuanghuaxuan, and there are so many people in a mess, the young lady is afraid that someone will bump into the Xiangjun, so she asked the servant girl to take the Xiangjun to Hengwuyuan to change clothes in the east. .”

"What is that place for?"

"It is usually used to entertain guests, but now it is uninhabited." The maid replied respectfully.

Murong Wei saw that the servant girl spoke and acted normally, so she couldn't help but wonder if she was really overly worried.

Is today really just an accident?

And now that Lu'er is by her side, depending on the situation, it should not be so.

It's just that, exactly what the situation is, depends on how the girl will do it.

After leaving Shuanghuaxuan and walking eastward, after passing a small garden, there is a misty place in front of you.

"What's that place?"

Qiao Yun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't you know, this is a hot spring, and it doesn't freeze in winter, and it will be foggy when it's cold."

"There is a hot spring in your mansion?" Murong Wei was really surprised, if there was a hot spring in their mansion, maybe she would want to soak in hot spring water every day.

This hot spring is inside a plum grove. At this moment, the plum blossoms are in full bloom. Red and white are scattered on the white stone steps beside the hot spring pool, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.

"Yes, I heard that this is the former King Chong's house, no wonder it is so luxurious." Murong Wei said with emotion.

I think that King Chong spent a lot of thought on his mansion at the beginning. It seems that this place was built for enjoying the scenery. Naturally, it has something special, no wonder there is even a hot spring.

She hadn't seen a hot spring for a long time. When she saw it at this time, she was inevitably curious. She stepped forward to test the water temperature. Although the weather was cold and the hot spring at the edge was frozen, the water in the middle was still bubbling. It is indeed very rare.

The maid, Qiao Yun, expressed some consolation: "Your Majesty should change your clothes first, if you get cold, you will hurt yourself."

The weather is indeed cold. Although Murong Wei is wearing a cloak, she naturally feels uncomfortable when her skirt is wet.

She didn't stay for too long. She thought that Hengwu Garden would not be too far away, but what she didn't expect was that after leaving Meilin, she went around a few rockeries, but she still couldn't see the place.

Lu'er looked at her, and Murong Wei also frowned slightly, feeling vigilant in her heart.

Since she just walked through these places, she didn't see a maid. It is said that today is a busy day in Yongningbo Mansion, and it is not far from Shuanghuaxuan, so why is there no one walking around?
"Sister, how long will it take for this to arrive?"

Qiao Yun said apologetically, "We're here, it's not far away, look at the eaves over there, isn't it Hengwu Garden?"

Murong Wei looked up, and felt that it was not too far away, but looking at the distance through the rockery and flowers, she would not be able to walk for a while.

But as she talked, she walked farther and farther away, and the place seemed to get more and more deviated.

Murong Wei was on alert when suddenly a woman came out from nowhere, with a cloth bag in her hand, and hurriedly ran towards this side.

"Mother Gu, why are you in such a hurry?" Qiao Yun asked.

"It's Qiaoyun, I'm in a hurry..." The woman named Gu's mother suddenly bumped into Lu'er, staggered Lu'er, and fell to the ground with an oops. Get all over the place.

Murong Wei's expression changed, but when she saw Lu'er's pale face and cold sweat, she immediately felt something was wrong, "What's going on?"

"Miss, my foot..." Lu'er cried out in pain while clutching her left foot.

Murong Wei quickly squatted down and lifted the clothes on her left leg to take a look, but saw that Lu'er's left ankle was swollen, she stretched out her hand to feel it, and felt that it must be a sprain.

Murong Wei looked up at the panicked look on the woman's face, but she could vaguely see the flickering gaze in her eyes, and saw Qiao Yun rushing towards Lu'er with a surprised face, but she didn't show any panic at all. fire!
You dog, how dare you plan on her coming!

Really think she, Murong Wei, is a sick cat!

She pushed Qiaoyun's hand away, and said coldly to Gu's mother: "Didn't you grow eyes when you walked? How can someone as blind as you do things in such a well-regulated place in Yongningbo Mansion?"

The woman quickly kowtowed and apologized: "It's the servant's fault, the servant didn't pay attention just now, please forgive me!"

Qiao Yun also scolded: "Mother Gu, you have caused trouble. This is the Lord of Huarong Township. He is a guest at the mansion. What are you doing in such a hurry? Then I will report it to Madam and let her punish you." !"

Murong Wei sneered in her heart, if she still couldn't see why, she would have been murdered ten or eight times in this world.

"Oh, is that right? I'm here as a guest, so it's not easy to punish your servants, is it? But the person who offended me like this can't forget it!"

Now that they are all here for her, there is no need to pretend to be innocent and innocent. It is a good choice to play her who is playing a young lady's temper.

Murong Wei looked at the two of them coldly, if their purpose today was only to attack Lu'er, that would be absolutely impossible.

Right now, judging by their appearance, it is clear that they are diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

As for what he wanted to do to lead her to such a remote place next, it was hard to say.

Qiao Yun panicked and said: "Mr. Xiang, the servants really didn't do it on purpose. Do you think the servants should ask Mother Gu to find some people to carry this sister to a place to rest immediately, and then invite a doctor?"

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, as if a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, and the anger just now seemed to have disappeared.

Seeing that Lie Xin was happy, Na Qiaoyun quickly winked at Gu's mother.

"That's right, this servant is going to call someone over!"

Mother Gu got up and ran away in a hurry.

Murong Wei snorted, looked down at Lu'er, and asked worriedly: "How do you feel now?"

"Miss, I'm fine, it's just a little pain right now, it's okay..." With anxious eyes, Lu'er grabbed Murong Wei's hand and winked at her.

It is estimated that she was so anxious because she realized that something was wrong.

Murong Wei gave her a reassuring look, "It's okay, my feet are swollen!"

Turning around, she was angry at Qiaoyun again: "Where is the person, let her find someone, did she run away?"

Qiao Yun hurriedly apologized: "No, Mr. Xiang, look, isn't that coming?"

But that's not true, that Mama Gu was fast and had everything she needed. In the blink of an eye, she came here with four women and a stretcher.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Murong Wei's eyes, at this speed, it was really fast.

Everything was set up so quickly.

Murong Wei became more vigilant in her heart.

What these people are planning to do in this way, she still can't know.

It's just how can she let people get what they want!

Then Mama Gu came over with a few wives, and kept saying no, "Miss, do you think this servant will take this girl away for treatment first?"

Lu'er frowned slightly, but Murong Wei's eyes were a little angry: "What are you waiting for, if my servant girl has something good or bad, I will not spare you!"

Qiaoyun's side just helped Lu'er to lie on the stretcher, and the women just lifted them up, but Murong Wei also wanted to leave.

Qiaoyun was in a hurry, and quickly said: "Mr. Xiang, this Hengwu Garden is approaching. You are all wet. You should change your clothes before going to the banquet. We will carry this sister and ask the doctor to give it to you. She healed."

Murong Wei gave her an annoyed look, and said in a bad tone: "It's too late to ask you to take me to change clothes. I'm not interested. Take Lu'er to Shuanghuaxuan for me, and find a room." Please ask the doctor to show her, and then send someone to find spare clothes in my carriage, and I won’t bother you.”

Qiaoyun was anxious in her heart, she glanced at Gu's mother, and Gu's mother hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, don't worry, this time it is the negligence of the servants, which frightened the young lady, and let people go back and forth to take the clothes. If the young lady is frozen, the servants will be afraid I can't bear it."

"Okay, stop talking, my clothes are not too wet anyway, so I don't need to trouble you." Murong Wei glanced at them, raised her head on purpose and said with an impatient expression: "Why, I still have to listen to you , don’t forget that I am also the emperor’s personal lord, if something happens to me, I, the Murong family, will be the first to spare you! Even the emperor will ask you!”

The expression on Qiaoyun's face changed, obviously she was a bit suspicious, she glanced at Gu's mother, muttered a few words to herself, and then reluctantly said: "This is the fault of the servants, how dare you let the township listen to us?" Yes, naturally the Lord Xiang can do whatever he wants. Since the Lord Xiang said so, let's send him back to Shuanghuaxuan."

Lu'er held Murong Wei's hand, her face turned pale from the pain, but at this moment she was relieved.

It seems that these people are not without the slightest scruples.

As long as you still have scruples, it's fine, this is really careless, who would have thought that he would be tricked by someone in Yongningbo Mansion.

Murong Wei just snorted, with a bossy look, "Hurry up, Lu'er is my most capable maid. This is really unlucky..."

Qiao Yun held back her anger and said: "Yes, I will send the Xiangjun back right now."

Although they were somewhat reluctant, it was not easy to reveal Xingzang, and they each winked, not knowing what they were exchanging.

Murong Wei pretended not to see it, and went back along the original road with the stretcher.

Because she was afraid of accidents, she tried her best to remember the way when she came. Although she saw that these people did not object to her opinion, she was still worried that they would take her to some other strange place.

Fortunately, they did not.

Seeing the group of people returning to the plum grove along the original road, suddenly a middle-aged woman who looked like a mother in charge came over, wearing a maroon jacket and skirt with Lu silk with [-] characters on her head, gold and silver, Very dignified.

"What's going on? Isn't this Huarong Township Lord? The slaves have seen the Township Lord." The mother in charge stepped forward to meet Murong Wei.

Murong Wei waved her hand: "My servant girl has a sprained foot, maybe I can find a doctor to show her?"

Qiaoyun stepped forward and replied: "Guan Li, we are planning to send this sister to Shuanghuaxuan."

Li Guanshi looked at Lu'er, and said guiltily, "It's all because the servants didn't handle it well. Today, there are doctors in the mansion, and Shuanghuaxuan is full of wives at the moment. I'm afraid they will run into each other in the past. Your lord, how about this servant take her to the front and let the doctor have a look."

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes, after thinking that Meilin is now Shuanghuaxuan, and nothing can happen again, so she said: "So I will trouble Mom."

Qiao Yun said again: "The servant girl will accompany the young lady back to Shuanghuaxuan."

Manager Li apologized and said a lot of good things, Murong Wei looked at Lu'er, and said: "You can go and see a doctor at ease, and someone will take you back to our carriage in a while."

Lu'er looked at Murong Wei with some worry, and Murong Wei patted her hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, my body is still good, so I won't suffer from the cold because of it."

Of course, she didn't give Mama Gu any good looks.

When Li Guanshi personally escorted Lu'er from the plum forest to the row of back rooms to the south, Murong Wei also walked through the plum forest accompanied by Qiao Yun, intending to return to Shuanghuaxuan.

Plum blossoms are blooming one after another, standing against the wind, not afraid of the severe cold, walking along the bluestone path, sometimes falling flowers all over the ground, but they have never been swept away.

On the contrary, walking on it has a kind of smell of stepping on the fragrance.

There was nothing unusual about Qiao Yun, she respectfully followed behind Murong Wei, but she didn't speak at all.

Murong Wei just wanted to go back to Shuanghuaxuan quickly, but the hot spring shrouded in mist and hidden among strange rocks and shrubs was even more faintly visible.

"Oh, what is that!" Suddenly, Qiao Yun shouted.

Murong Wei looked in the direction of her finger in surprise, and when she came to her senses, she saw that Qiao Yun ran towards the distance at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Murong Wei's face turned pale with anger, good guy, she was caught in a trick!

Is this girl afraid of being punished or has she made up her mind that she dare not do anything to her?

How dare he just run away in front of her eyes!
Murong Wei was full of anger, she felt baffled all day long, since she came to Yongning Bo's Mansion, nothing has gone well, even Lu'er was injured if she got involved with her.

But in this quiet place, she felt worried at the moment.

Flowers fell one after another, rolled up their petals and flew wantonly in the wind, Murong Wei suddenly felt chills, subconsciously ran forward, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

As long as she returns to the crowd, see who can plot against her again!

After taking a few steps away, she suddenly saw a flash in front of her eyes, her pace slowed down, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

The man was squatting halfway by the side of the hot spring pool, lightly picking up a handful of hot spring water with his slender fingers, a fox-fur cloak with light blue brocade and gold threads was piled up on the stone steps, and plum blossoms were piled all over the place. Gentle and elegant, he is looking at Murong Wei with a slight smile at the moment.

"Cousin? Why are you here alone?"

Murong Wei froze, her heart beat faster, and she subconsciously wanted to back away.

This man, he has been waiting here!

In a flash, she suddenly understood who was trying to plot against him like this all the time today.

She clenched her fists tightly, and the smile on her face tended to stiffen.

King Qi stood up, brushed the falling plums off his body, and smiled like a spring breeze, as if the world was blooming in April, with warmth and concern in his eyes: "What's wrong with my cousin?"

He smiled very gently, but at this moment, in Murong Wei's eyes, this person made her feel so cold and fearful in her heart, she only felt that his smile was extremely terrifying, hiding countless evils.

Murong Wei took a deep breath, "It turned out to be His Highness King Qi, and my servant greets His Highness." She bowed her body and said, "My servant is just passing by, so I won't disturb His Highness enjoying the plum blossoms. I'll go back to the banquet."

King Qi walked a few steps forward with a smile, blocked her way, and said seemingly unintentionally: "It's okay, I should have disturbed my cousin, I shouldn't have come here in the first place, but I just like this Merlin I don’t want to disturb my cousin anymore.”

Murong Wei's smile could hardly be maintained.

What on earth is he trying to do!
Today, he brought her into Uncle Yongning's residence and tried his best to lure her to the Hengwu Garden alone. Could it be that he wanted her to have a relationship with him?Or is it for murder?
She managed to take advantage of Lu'er's injury to go back to Shuanghuaxuan, but what she didn't expect was that she could still "run into" him on the way back!

There is no escape, she must go through this calamity today.

She stepped back towards the hot spring, "Your Highness, you are welcome. I just passed by by accident. My mother and sister-in-law should come to see me. The servant girl will not accompany His Highness to enjoy the scenery today. Please forgive me."

King Qi's smile deepened. He moved the jade wrench with his fingertips, and his eyes were surprisingly bright: "Cousin, have I ever said that you are actually a very smart woman? To be honest, this king has always admired such a woman." .”

Murong Wei closed her eyes, her expression was a little cold, but at this moment she was already full of anxiety.

Just thinking about it, a few wives and some maidservants walked over to the entrance of Meilin in the chamber over there.

After seeing it, Murong Wei took a deep breath.

It turned out that Mrs. Li Zongbing, who likes to gossip the most, was also there.

It's still far away, but soon they will find them.

She finally understood what he was thinking.

Seeing King Qi's confident eyes, Murong Wei felt chills.

As long as he does something, these people will find out and publicize it, and the private exchange between her and King Qi will spread throughout the capital!
What can she do then, even her Murong family can't save her!
She finally understood what King Qi meant. Yes, it was impossible for her to die in Yongningbo Mansion, but she might be destroyed here!
King Qi, this man looks like a gentleman on the outside, as gentle as jade, but in fact he is deep in thought and good at calculating.For what he wants to get, he is going step by step, attacking in all directions, not giving the opponent a chance to survive!
How could she forget that King Qi is a prince, who is simple like them?

Just like now, it doesn't matter whether she chooses to escape or explain to others, the rumors that should be spread will still spread.

She didn't know why he set up such a trick against her, just to ruin her reputation?
If he wanted to marry her, he was uneasy and kind!
She would not marry him, she would never choose someone like him who didn't care about her reputation at all.
