The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 179 - The Heartbreaker (3)

Xia Lanyue also walked slowly outside the gate of the mansion, wearing a green shirt with floral gauze skirt swaying slightly in the breeze, her hair bun casually rolled up matched with her plain face, looking from a distance, she looked a little hungry The temperament of fireworks in the world.

She has been in Wei State for so many years, this is the first time she has come to the General's Mansion, looking at the magnificent General's Mansion, she suddenly remembered that many years ago, Mu Piaoyu asked her if she would like to enter the General's Mansion and become the only hostess. She naively agreed, thinking that she could really stay away from the palace to avoid the court disputes, but in the end her dream was shattered because of Su Jin.

Sujin tried his best to keep her in the palace, his methods and schemes made her completely give up on Sujin, but now if you ask her if she hates Sujin, she really doesn't.

He could only blame himself, if she hadn't been willing, who would have forced her to stay.

The heavy "creak" sound of opening the door interrupted Xia Lanyue's thoughts. She was facing Mu Piaoyu who went out to meet her personally. At this time, he was wearing a thin green shirt and looked very casual. He came out of the house and bowed respectfully: "I don't know that the Empress is here, so forgive me for being late to pick you up." After speaking, he entered the mansion to welcome Xia Lanyue.

Entering the mansion, Xia Lanyue looked at the broad Kangzhuang Avenue and the winding path, with groups of guards walking back and forth. The security of the guards was comparable to that of the imperial palace. It seemed that Mu Piaoyu was not at all affected by the surrender of military power. Influence.

Xia Lanyue said: "Look at the general's thin shirt, these days are quite casual."

Mu Piaoyu said indifferently: "Release the military power, and live a more comfortable life."

Xia Lanyue smiled lightly, cast a thoughtful glance at Ju Fang who was closely behind her, stopped talking, and just followed Mu Piaoyu all the way to the mansion.

Mu Piaoyu led her all the way into the main hall, and summoned Steward Su to prepare tea and snacks, all the way respectful.

After sitting in the main hall, Mu Piaoyu retreated from the servants, but Jufang was still by Xia Lanyue's side, as if she had never heard of Mu Piaoyu's order, and Xia Lanyue made up her mind to stay. A slight helplessness flashed across his face, and Mu Piaoyu also saw some clues, so he left Jufang without reprimand.

"I heard that since the general resigned from the military power, it is still as usual, but it has been silent in the court. It has not spoken in the morning court for several days. Everyone speculates whether General Mu is very dissatisfied with the emperor's move." Xia Lanyue also Stop beating around the bush, and directly ask the purpose of this trip.

"If there is really dissatisfaction, the minister will not hand over the military power so easily." Mu Piaoyu also answered casually, as if he had anticipated Xia Lanyue's purpose in visiting the general's mansion today.

"The greatest glory of a general is to lead troops on the battlefield. Your soldiers have followed you to fight against the enemy for many years, and have made such great contributions to the state of Wei. Are you really willing to give up your achievements so easily?" Xia Lanyue asked. The words are sharp.

Mu Piaoyu still replied indifferently: "Although those are brothers who share my life and death with me, they are all bestowed by the emperor, and he wants to take them back. As a subject, I can only obey the emperor's order."

"You're telling lies." Xia Lanyue shook her head: "Your reaction is too normal now, and it gives me a kind of calm before the storm."

Mu Piaoyu snorted coldly: "So the empress came here to test the emperor's order?"

Xia Lanyue didn't explain, but kept silent.

"Since the emperor asked the queen to come, then I will tell you that after the emperor decreed to take away my military power, I was very angry, not because I was reluctant to bear power, but because the emperor did not trust me. For many years, I have gone through life and death for him, and I have never been half-hearted, but now he has turned to Li Fengyan because of suspicion, I never thought that one day the emperor would doubt me." At this moment, Mu Piaoyu did not hide the deep anger on her face , but then he smiled mockingly: "Although I call the emperor a brother and brother in private, he is still the monarch of this Wei country. He wants to take back my military power. Although he is unwilling, as a subject, I still want to be loyal to the emperor."
