After the rebirth, the black heart lotus prince said to marry me

Chapter 224 Afraid of Knowing the Truth

...

For the next vacation, Mu Jiuqing was not in the mood, and planned to go back on the third day.

Yun Xian went straight back to the Imperial College.

Before parting, I gave her a painting.

Mu Jiuqing opened her eyes and was taken aback for a moment. The portrait was of her, the clothes, appearance, and expression she wore on the day she left the palace. The painting was more beautiful than her own.

"Thank you brother Xian"

Yun Xian looked at her, her earlobes were so pink that she couldn't be any more pink, and asked in a gentle voice, "Xiao Wu, what kind of person do you want your future husband-in-law to be?"

"."

"My lord intends to betroth you to me, are you willing?"

The young man looked at her unspeakable nervousness, and he didn't look back. Now that he opened his mouth, he wanted to say everything.

Mu Jiuqing lowered her eyes. It seemed that there was no way to escape this matter. After thinking for a while, she said, "I just divorced the prince, so I don't want to think about marriage for the time being."

Hearing this, the young man was slightly taken aback, thinking about it, he was engaged to the crown prince and then divorced soon after, this incident must have hit her hard.

Thinking of Li Shao, Yun Xian frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't mention it, it won't be too late to talk about it in two years."

Mu Jiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, two years was enough to change his mind.

After renouncing the marriage with Li Shao, she did have a psychological shadow. She was afraid that she would be engaged to her cousin and then resign, how embarrassing it would be.

She still had some thoughts about Li Shaozeng, although she called him the prince's brother, they were not brothers and sisters, nor were they cousins, and they were not related by blood.

As for Yun Xian, her cousin, she couldn't adapt to the thought of marrying in the future.

But it can't hurt him as straightforwardly as rejecting Feng Mingjue.

Mu Jiuqing was very worried, what should I tell him.

...

When I returned to the palace, I felt that the atmosphere was not right, and there seemed to be some happy event.

After stopping a girl to ask, I found out that the eldest girl and the third prince were engaged.

Mu Jiuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, very surprised, isn't Li Shao the one Mu Mingzhu likes?

She is proud and arrogant, and she wants to be a princess.

Why are you suddenly willing to marry the Third Prince?

Back at Qingshanyuan, Wei Zhuang told her the mystery.

A few days after she left the capital, it was Princess Rong's birthday and hosted a banquet for the dignitaries of the capital.

The crown prince, the third prince and others all came to celebrate his birthday in person.

Mu Jiuqing also received the invitation, but was frightened by the assassination and went to the villa to suppress the shock.

The old concubine made the decision and asked Mu Mingzhu to attend the banquet at Prince Rong's mansion for her.

Just like last time, Li Zhan colluded with the third master to frame the prince and trick him and a maid.

Since what happened last time, Li Shao has been more careful, and he always carries the antidote with him, which was concocted by Mu Jiuqing, and the effect of the medicine is very good.

After knowing Li Zhan's conspiracy, he deliberately plotted against Mixiang and quickly took the antidote to plot against Li Zhan.

Because Mu Mingzhu accidentally found out about this incident, she also made a plan to enter the room instead of the maid.

It was later discovered that it was not the prince, but the third prince, and he regretted everything.

Similar to Mu Mingyu's situation that day, Li Shao asked people to deliberately attract people to watch the play.

When the incident broke out, the palace lost face again.

...

Wei Zhuang finally said, "Next month, the third prince will accept the eldest girl as his side concubine."

Mu Jiuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Side concubine? Shouldn't she be the main concubine?"

Wei Zhuang shook his head, "This happened at the old Princess Rong's birthday banquet, and she was so angry that she fainted, so Prince Rong went to the palace to file a complaint. The emperor Longyan was furious, and only allowed the third prince to accept the eldest girl as his side concubine."

This is called stealing chickens without losing money.

Not long ago, Concubine Qin Xian wanted to give up Mu Jiuqing on purpose, and wanted to win over the third master, and she mentioned marrying Mu Mingzhu as the third prince's concubine, but Mu Mingzhu liked the prince and wanted to be the prince concubine, so she rejected Qin Xianfei's kindness.

In the end, only one side concubine was obtained.

Mu Mingzhu was so angry that she cried for several days.

Concubine Qin Xian was very happy, she had always looked down on Mu Mingzhu, if it wasn't for the purpose of wooing Prince Mu, she would never have thought that the third prince would marry her as his concubine.

Now that he committed suicide, he was already Li Zhan's man, no matter if he was a side concubine or a concubine, he had to accept it obediently.

But Li Zhan was not happy in his heart. He was so angry that he was tricked again and again.

The first time he was tricked by the Prince Donglin, and the second time he was tricked by the Prince.

Every time he tried to plot against others, he was always discovered by others, and he suspected that there were spies around him.

Otherwise, how did Li Shao escape with such a careful plan and strong scent of fascination?
...

At this moment, Li Shao was reading official documents in Dali Temple, and when he heard that the princess was back, he wanted to sneak out to find her.

But the emperor sent Hei Xiao to watch him, not allowing him to be lazy.

As soon as he moved, Hei Xiao flashed in front of him like a ghost, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Li Shao wants to cry but has no tears, Hei Xiao's martial arts are very good, he can't survive three moves under his hands, "Jiu'er is back, I want to go to Mu Wang's Mansion." He hasn't been to the ancient mansion for several days, and he misses her very much .

Hei Xiao said calmly, "The emperor forbids you to go to Mu Wang's mansion."

Li Shao's face changed slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Why, what does the father mean? Aren't you the father's personal secret guard? Why did you send you to protect the palace? Shouldn't you protect the third prince?"

Now he really doesn't understand what the father means.

On the surface, he was still indifferent to himself, suppressed him, and continued to support the third prince, but in private he sent Hei Xiao to protect his safety.

This made him have an illusion for a while.

Do you think that the royal father actually loves him very much?
As a result, he slapped his face, that man would not be so kind, he must have sent Hei Xiao to monitor him.

Hei Xiao smiled, "I don't know what the emperor means, anyway, if something happens to His Royal Highness, the empress will be sad, and the empress will be sad, and the emperor will feel distressed, does your highness understand?"

"."

So the emperor did this for the empress?
"Does the emperor love my queen mother very much?"

Hei Xiao lowered his eyes and didn't answer the question.

How can I know whether I love him or not.

In the past, it must have been pampered to the bone. From the prince to the emperor, he only had the queen in his heart, and there was only the queen as a woman after marriage.

It's just that after the incident of the first prince...then it slowly changed.

He almost didn't know him.

I was once addicted to beauty, as if the only way to make myself forget the pain.

But the women in the harem changed one after another, and all the women were forgotten in a blink of an eye within three months.

Thinking about how obsessed she was with Concubine Xiang at the beginning, but such a top-notch woman could not escape the fate of being discarded within three months.

As a result, no matter what he did, he went round and round, or put down the queen.

It's sad to think about this master.

Hei Xiao couldn't help sighing while holding the long sword.

Li Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, "Father suspected that the empress had an affair with the first prince, and suspected that I was not his own. He knew why he didn't investigate?"

Hei Xiao's eyes were quiet, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid to know the truth."

Li Shao was a little angry, "What's the truth? If he really loves my mother, he shouldn't doubt her."

"You don't know the emperor, you don't know what happened to them back then."

"What happened then?"

"I can't explain in one or two sentences. The queen, the first prince, and the emperor are similar to the relationship between you and Mu Xiaojun, the third prince. You can think about it for yourself."

The emperor back then was the fourth prince, far less lucky than he and the third prince are now.

His mother and concubine was a court lady, without even a title, and died when he was five years old. It was not until the death of his mother and concubine that the first emperor knew that there was such a son in the harem.
