Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 74 I'm Sorry

Murong Wei was trembling with anger in her heart. Although she was angry at the moment, she was still a little rational. No matter what, let him be convinced, and everyone can talk about it.

She didn't want him to not understand why she was angry until later.

"You still ask me why? Didn't you spend the night at Zhang Yuqian's place tonight? Well, you have a beautiful concubine, so why come to my place!"

Xiao Mingrui was startled, and looked at her dumbfounded: "Who told you that I spent the night there?"

Seeing his appearance, she was also stunned. He doesn't look like a fake. Could it be that she wrongly blamed him?
Then why did he come here only now after leaving for this night?

Don't even ask someone to send her a letter, just let her wait here like a fool?

The husband and wife stare at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

I was silent for a while.

Murong Wei was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized that her actions just now were really...

It turned out that she had misunderstood him.

Thinking of it this way, she suddenly felt so guilty that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Looking at the tired expression on the face of the man in front of him, it is obvious that he has not rested.

Why did she suddenly feel like lard covered her heart before, but because of those smells, she suddenly went crazy?

It can be seen that this person, no matter how rational he is, will always lose his mind.

It's just because it didn't touch her bottom line.

Murong Wei looked at him anxiously, "I... I'm sorry, I thought, I thought..."

Xiao Mingrui is not a temperless person, his wife is so suspicious now, and he came back to fight indiscriminately, so there is no anger.

Especially when he thought about what she kept saying that she wanted to leave him, it made him even more angry.

Now the truth is revealed. Seeing her timid appearance, with tears still hanging from her eyelashes, her face full of guilt and uneasiness, she snorted, "You think I'm with other women? It turns out that my good lady has never Trust me!"

Murong Wei's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and she felt even more guilty when she saw him say that. Although she is a smart person, she is also a woman.

The IQ of women in love is sometimes ultra-low, and they are very sensitive.

If she had been more nervous, she would not have noticed the difference in the smell on his body suddenly, nor would she have imagined it.

In fact, this matter was full of loopholes, as long as she asked a little, she would know where he was tonight.

How could this kind of misunderstanding happen and let the husband and wife have an oolong?

"...I, I know that I misunderstood you about this, but I didn't see who you sent here..."

Xiao Mingrui was still sullen, and felt strange when he thought of this.

Who dares to disobey his orders?

However, Murong Wei was still like this all of a sudden, the fragrance on his body, just sat by Zhang Yuqian for a while, how could it linger for a long time?
People like him always think about things more and more complicated. He was already in a bad mood, tired all night without rest, and this happened again, so he turned around the screen with an ugly face, and asked Su De to ask.

"Who did you ask to come to inform the princess that I was handling things in the front yard tonight? Why didn't anyone come?"

Su De was waiting outside, and didn't know what happened inside. Seeing Xiao Mingrui's face turned ugly, he was taken aback: "The old slave sent Xiao Li over here, why didn't this kid come? Damn this old slave, old slave Slave, send someone to ask!"

Xiao Mingrui said with a sullen face: "Catch him and give me a good interrogation, this bastard is so courageous, he dares to neglect his duty!"

Seeing this, Su De's heart skipped a beat. I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to resolve.

Xiao Mingrui turned back into the room, and saw that Murong Wei had already arranged her clothes, wearing a white gauze jacket, sitting alone on the bamboo couch, with a very disturbed expression.

With a cold face, Xiao Mingrui sat down on the armchair, picked up the celadon teapot and poured tea on his own.

Murong Wei stepped forward, took it in a low voice, poured tea for him, and brought it in front of him, "Husband, I apologize to you. I was presumptuous just now."

Xiao Mingrui's handsome face was cold, "Presumptuous, you also know presumptuous? When you see me coming up indiscriminately, you scold me and keep saying you want to leave me. This prince did it, this husband did it. What's the point of meeting people?"

Murong Wei drooped her head, since she did something wrong, she was naturally wronged, so she acted like a little daughter-in-law at this moment.

Listening to his reprimand with eyes and nose, nose and heart, his face turned green and pale.

Xiao Mingrui saw that she didn't speak, although she was angry that she blamed him indiscriminately, but there was something wrong with this matter, so she, a woman, couldn't help but think too much.

He just didn't expect that she was usually smart, and he didn't expect that this idea was so splashy, but it also seemed to be a bit of a heroine.

How many women in the world dare to tell a man to leave him, let alone him?

Only he doesn't want women, and no woman dares to say that he doesn't want him.

Seeing her submissive and respectful appearance now, Xiao Mingrui couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart.

He snorted, thinking that if he didn't take advantage of the momentum to suppress her arrogance, his husband would not be able to recover in the future, would he?
If she thought about abandoning him again, he couldn't bear it.

After making up his mind, he put on a posture that was still angry.

He is very good at how to negotiate and get the most benefits.

This time, he must eat his wife to death, so that she will be devoted to him, and stop thinking about abandoning him.

"I... didn't believe it before. At that time, the maid beside Zhang Yuqian came to tell me that you were drunk and would not come back tonight. I didn't believe it at first..."

Xiao Mingrui frowned, Zhang Yuqian, did she send someone over to say such things?
Murong Wei looked at his expression, thinking that she still had to try to get her husband to calm down as soon as possible. After all, it was her fault, but she still had to analyze right and wrong, lest he feel that she was that kind of brainless woman.

"And then, how do you do it?"

"I didn't take it to heart at the time. I believe you will not break our promise. And this is not from people around you. I don't believe it. So I sent someone to wait outside the courtyard. When you come out, please Come here. But Lu'er sent someone there, but they didn't see you."

Xiao Mingrui was speechless, seeing her aggrieved, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Not long after he went, he came out. By the time she sent someone over, he would have been gone long ago. How could he see others?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, until night, and I don't know when I fell asleep. Later, as soon as you came back, I smelled the smell on your body. I thought you were there because you didn't come back all night... You still need to come back Make out with me. Just lost my mind for a moment..."

Xiao Mingrui glared at her. Did this stupid girl think that he went to another woman and then made out with her again? She couldn't bear it, and felt that he had betrayed her?

"Why didn't you ask me first? What's the point of convicting me directly?" he asked aggressively.

These words completely made her speechless.

Yes, who knows why the head suddenly lost its mind at that time?

Seeing that she had nothing to say, the anger in Xiao Mingrui's heart was as if one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were born.

He suddenly stood up, as if disheartened for a moment, and his voice was full of depression: "So you never believed me. Murong Wei, you said that husband and wife should trust each other. After getting married these days, who am I, Xiao Mingrui?" You should understand. Why can't you trust me? Well, well, since that's the case, I, Xiao Mingrui, don't bother to force others. Where are you going, let you do it!"

After saying that, he turned around and raised his legs to leave.

Murong Wei was startled, and suddenly felt chills and flustered.

Seeing him wanting to leave angrily, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and for a moment she only felt severe pain.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that once he left, they would not even be able to be husband and wife.

That feeling was so strong that Murong Wei felt that if she didn't catch him, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to be separated from him, didn't want to leave him.

I misunderstood him before, how can I see him leave now, the husband and wife are strangers from now on?
For a moment, her mind was occupied, and she didn't realize what she had done, so she rushed up and hugged him suddenly from behind.

"Don't go, Xiao Mingrui, don't go."

Xiao Mingrui paused, and said coldly, "Why stop me?"

She hugged him tightly, her cheek pressed against his back, and cried: "You are not allowed to go... I'm sorry, can't I be wrong? I just, just love you too much. I can't tolerate betrayal. Don't leave me, I will never mistrust you again."

He closed his eyes, didn't speak, only heard her say that he loved him so much, the corners of his mouth were raised, but he was still posing.

Murong Wei had never looked so fragile before, and she didn't know why she suddenly went crazy at that time.

Perhaps, the shadow of her previous life is still in her heart. Didn't that man, her first love, betray her and get together with her good sister?

This incident hit her so hard that she didn't dare to be too affectionate in the future.

She is afraid of being hurt, afraid of being betrayed.

So at that time, her emotions suddenly erupted like a volcano.

Only now did she regret it.

She should forget the past and stop thinking about those sad past events, those are all past events.

Xiao Mingrui, he is not that man, he is a man worthy of her love, and now he is her husband.

Could it be that I hurt him and let him leave like this?She doesn't want to be like this...

"I'm sorry, I just don't dare, dare not love you too much. I'm afraid of being hurt, and I'm afraid that one day you will betray me, and I won't be able to bear the blow."

Xiao Mingrui frowned, what is this silly woman worrying about?
Does he just look like a half-hearted person?
"You didn't spend the night with her, you clearly smelled like her! The people around Zhang Yuqian came over and told me that you spent the night there drunk. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that you didn't let Sue know anything in the middle of the night. De brought it to me, what else do you want to say?" She complained.

Xiao Mingrui suddenly realized.

He just said, well, what kind of madness is this, and suddenly he was angry and crying.

Could it be that he misunderstood that he and Zhang Yuqian did something wrong to her?
He said angrily and angrily: "Who told you that I stayed there overnight? I just went to Zhang Yuqian and warned her a few words, told her to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, and went to the front yard to discuss things with Li Jishan in a while, and I just came back now."

Murong Wei was startled, "Then why didn't you send someone to tell me?"

Xiao Mingrui was even more surprised at this time: "How is it possible? I clearly asked someone to come over and tell you to tell you to go to bed early, and I will come back later."

"Impossible, no one is coming."

At this point, she was suddenly speechless.

What about that person?

How could no one come?
This is obviously a misunderstanding.

Murong Wei was dumbfounded for a moment, looking at the angry husband in front of her, she suddenly had nothing to say.

Could it be that she misunderstood her, she was sad for nothing just now, and after a long time, it turned out to be an oolong?
Murong Wei couldn't laugh or cry for a while, how did things turn out like this?

Could it be that Xiao Mingrui couldn't keep his promise?
Is she too pessimistic?
"Who am I, Xiao Mingrui, in your eyes?" He turned around, looking at her with eagle eyes under his thick eyebrows, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am such an untrustworthy person?"

She shook her head: "No, it's me... It's my own problem. You know, emotional matters are hard to talk about. If you like someone else in the future, it's not impossible. How many people Can you do it from one end to the end? Especially in the future..."

She smiled wryly: "I actually know what I might choose, but I can't control my feelings. Xiao Mingrui, you can understand my feelings, the kind of feelings that worry about gains and losses. In fact, I don't like your concubines at all , I don’t like other people around you. I endured it only because of you. Whether you say I’m jealous or hateful, it turns out that I’m not as noble as you think.”

Xiao Mingrui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to say that.

Did she mean that with his status and status, he was afraid that he would have more women in the future, and would eventually betray her?

How he didn't understand her thoughts, in fact, he also felt guilty, and even if it wasn't necessary, he would really like to move these women to other courtyards.

Her temperament couldn't bear these things, and she accepted it for him, which is already a debt to her.

A man wants to do a great job, so naturally he won't be distracted by the things in the backyard.

He would not let people outside talk about the affairs of the palace because of some women, let alone say that his wife was jealous.

When he thought about it, keeping these women was just a cover-up, so how could he know what she was thinking?

Xiao Mingrui was speechless for a moment, he sighed: "You can tell me."

Murong Wei was a little dazed, with a dazed expression: "What should I tell you? It's not that I don't understand what you mean, I know that you want to use them as a shield. That's why I can bear them. As long as they keep their own place, I don't care. But wait I really stayed in the palace for a while, only to find out, which one of them is willing to keep their own place? Zhang Yuqian, she is just one of them."

Xiao Mingrui looked at her in surprise, seeing that there was something wrong with her expression, he also forgot his original intention before, stepped forward to hug her and sat down on the soft couch.

He wiped the teardrops on her face with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Silly girl, there is nothing you can't tell me. In fact, I have already warned Zhang Yuqian tonight, and let her think about it behind closed doors. I will take care of those women." Knock, knock. Don't let them bother you anymore. If you don't want to see them, cancel the morning and evening meditation. From now on, let them live in seclusion and disturb you less, okay?"

Murong Wei looked up at him, with grievance, guilt, and confusion in her eyes.

She nestled into his arms, tears fell again: "You said you don't want me anymore..."

Xiao Mingrui saw her so cute and pitiful, like a pear blossom with rain, his heart softened a long time ago, how could he be angry?

"Don't cry, don't cry, your face is blurred. You... oh, what a silly girl. How did I, Xiao Mingrui, fall in love with such a silly girl?" He sighed, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief .

Murong Wei looked up at him with misty eyes, her pink lips parted and closed: "Do you regret marrying me? I know what I did wrong today. I apologize to you. If you really regret it, I will ,so I……"

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows: "Why, you want to leave me?"

She shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "It's a big deal, well, I'll serve you well until you calm down."

Xiao Mingrui was secretly happy in his heart, but his face had a look of disdain, his black eyes narrowed slightly: "Did I tell you to serve me?"

Murong Wei frowned: "Why do you still want to find those concubines of yours? You, how dare you!"

Xiao Mingrui snorted: "Why don't you dare, I'm a majestic prince, why don't you dare?"

Murong Wei was depressed, seeing her deflated, he was secretly happy.

Although I feel sorry for this girl for what he has done, I vow to pay back ten times, take good care of her, and never let her be wronged.

But now, he still can't let her surrender all at once, otherwise, how would he enjoy the service of his lovely wife?

"You bully!" she accused.

Xiao Mingrui was about to speak when Su De's voice came from outside: "My lord, this old slave has something to report."

Xiao Mingrui knew that he must have checked something, and his expression became serious.

He got up and went out, and saw that Su De's face was not very good, and he was even more ashamed when he saw him: "Damn the old slave, he didn't teach his subordinates well. The old slave just sent someone to find Xiao Li, and found that he was dumbfounded." In my own room, I asked him what happened, and he said that it was dark and the road was slippery at that time, and he accidentally injured his leg. The people sent by the old slave found that he was seriously injured, and he is still lying down."

Xiao Mingrui's expression turned cold when he heard the words.

This incident is too coincidental, why did you suddenly hurt your leg when you came to deliver the letter?

"Why didn't he let others report the news?"

Even if he was injured, he definitely did not delay what the prince ordered.

Su De said: "Yes, the bastard said that he was seriously injured at the time and was carried back, but he forgot about it for a while. The old slave has already had someone punish him according to the rules of the house."

With a cold face, Xiao Mingrui felt that this matter was deliberate, "Interrogate him well, don't beat him to death first. If he is negligent in his duties and slack in his official duties, if he doesn't explain carefully whether he was ordered by someone or not, and whether it is true, he will be beaten to death!" "

Su De straightened up suddenly and agreed.

Not to mention that he is also responsible for this.

He understands that the prince is going to make an example, and this trend will not last long. If they are so derelict in their duties and ignore the master's affairs, they will cause bad things if they are not sure in the future.

Judging by the prince's appearance, I'm afraid it has something to do with the princess.

Murong Wei turned around the screen to look at him, feeling a little thoughtful at the moment.

Previously, I was only concerned with getting angry and apologizing, but now that I think about it, this matter is quite abnormal.

How did that little plum fall by such a coincidence?

Did someone do it on purpose?

Murong Wei was the first to think of Zhang Yuqian, but it was wrong, if it was her, there was no need to do so.

If it weren't for her, how could I guarantee that I would believe and doubt this deed?

But I thought that although I was smart, I was a woman, but I didn't believe in Xiao Mingrui and made trouble for him?
Don't think it's not a big deal about sending the letter, as long as Xiao Mingrui comes back, she will know as soon as she asks, even if the letter is not delivered, it doesn't matter.

But what if adding the previous news and Xiao Mingrui's smell?

Shocked, she looked at him and said, "What kind of fragrance does Zhang Yuqian use on a daily basis, and why does it last so long?"

Xiao Mingrui was stunned, thoughtful: "I obviously changed clothes in the front yard, how could there still be this smell?"

Murong Wei was also very surprised, seeing him unbuttoning his outer shirt, smelling it, she always felt that the clothes were fragrant.

But he would not use this kind of women's incense on weekdays. Why does this clothes smell like this?

But it is very light and not obvious.

Murong Wei had sharp eyes, looked at the sachet on his body, reached out to snatch it, opened it and smelled it: "This sachet contains that kind of spice. Does the lord change the sachet on weekdays?"

Xiao Mingrui usually pays attention to this.

After changing his clothes at night, he only habitually wears a sachet for warding off the heat. Of course, he, a man, doesn't like to use anything with a strong fragrance, and he always focuses on refreshing.

Xiao Mingrui said in a calm voice: "I'll have to check it out later. These dogs are so bold, they even dare to plot against me!"

Xiao Mingrui was very angry, usually these things are handled by Su De, he is the head of internal affairs, in charge of all the little eunuchs and maidservants under him.

Xiao Mingrui knew that Su De would not do such a thing, so he could still believe in his loyalty.

Then who on earth dared to get this kind of spice and put it in a sachet?

Murong Wei was also very angry in her heart, she understood now that this matter was a conspiracy.

What can be so coincidental?

All the coincidences caught up with today?
Xiao Mingrui did it suddenly when he went to Zhang Yuqian drunk, so it means that this person also acted on a whim.

Since this is the case, it is hard to say whether the little eunuch was instigated by someone or whether there were other reasons.

Who has the ability to know Xiao Mingrui's movements, put someone beside Xiao Mingrui, and take this opportunity to create misunderstandings?
She's not thinking about conspiracy theories like Xiao Mingrui, she's thinking, is this what the backyard woman did?
But how did they get close to Xiao Mingrui's servants?

It was obvious that this matter was just to create conflicts between her and Xiao Mingrui.

What can a woman rely on in the backyard of the palace?
Your natal family may be relied on, but no one can live for you with the water thrown out by the married person.

Xiao Mingrui was the only one he could rely on.

That being the case, as long as the relationship between her and Xiao Mingrui is hit, and the purpose of those villains is achieved.

That's right, if she fell out of favor, wouldn't others have a chance?

If Xiao Mingrui has always been so affectionate with her, who can find a way to deal with her?
Don't look at just a small purse, a piece of news is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and it may cause a big reaction.

If Murong Wei hadn't explained the reason for the conflict to Xiao Mingrui, then today's affairs would be even more confusing.

Murong Wei sneered: "Husband, I need to investigate carefully. This method is good, attacking the heart first, there is no one who has been guarding against thieves for a thousand years, I can't stand this cold sword."

Xiao Mingrui sighed, it is still difficult to figure out who did this, so he hurried over and ordered Su De to investigate the matter carefully.

Murong Wei looked at the clock, thinking about it, the more annoyed she became.

This matter is endless, if you don't find out who it is, you won't be able to sleep well.

She, Murong Wei, doesn't have the good habit of repaying grievances with kindness.

Xiao Mingrui came back after giving orders, looked at the time, and saw his wife's depressed appearance, he was also unhappy.

"I will find out about this matter, Wei'er, you don't have any ideas about what happened tonight?"

Murong Wei looked up at him, and snorted: "What do you think? I just think that some people hide it so deeply that they even use this kind of scheming. I really admire it, I really know everyone." I don't know my face."

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to reflect on yourself?"

When Murong Wei heard this, she was speechless.

Seeing him staring at her with burning eyes, she paused for a moment and lowered her tone: "It's my fault for this matter. I'm not, haven't I reflected on everything."

He sighed, and said earnestly: "Our husband and wife are one. If you don't trust me, how can we last forever? You said if you trust me more tonight, will you misunderstand me?"
