Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 18 The Confidante (1)
Two days later.

Before dawn, the entire palace was in an extremely tight rhythm.

Inside Fengyang Palace, it was extremely busy.

Mu Qing closed her eyes, her red halo slightly raised, giving her a sense of majesty that cannot be underestimated.She stood quietly in front of the long bronze mirror, with her hands outstretched, Shangguan Yu was putting on a queen's phoenix robe with a big red embroidered phoenix for Mu Qing.

Slowly opening her eyes, she stared at herself in the mirror, with a thoughtful solemnity on her face.

Golden beaded phoenix head hairpin, flowing clouds and high hair, red lips a little red, the beauty of the country and the city can amaze thousands of people.Because today is the day when General Zuo Xun enters the imperial city.It's just that the only thing that puzzled Mu Qing was why she had to dress up like this now for the dinner that started at night.For her who is used to lightness, it was really a torment.

But the worse things came later. When Su Muqing finished dressing up and was about to send someone to clean up Fengyang Palace, she realized that Fengyang Palace was really poorly staffed. It was inconvenient for her who had changed her outfit.Fortunately, a few days ago, Beitangfeng graciously transferred a few eunuchs to her, otherwise she really couldn't imagine the consequences.But despite this, the huge Fengyang Palace still lacks the most favorable support for working.

Mu Qing thought hard, wandered around for a few times, and unexpectedly found a "usable talent" by the pool not far from Fengyang Palace!
Beside the small pond in the imperial garden behind Fengyang Palace, a handsome man was sitting. The man was dressed in black and red luxurious robes, and he looked handsome and dignified.Her long hair was bundled into a high ponytail, hanging quietly behind her head. With the wind, in this peaceful morning, it couldn't help evoking a slight arc, like a picture scroll.As soon as Mu Qing saw this fresh attire, she knew "which young master" it was, so she approached quietly, and the fragrance of lotus came over her, which added the beauty of an ink painting.

And this melancholy man is none other than Beitang Qi who has been tormenting her a lot not long ago.

She chuckled, and breathed warmly behind his delicate ear, "My dear brother, which girl are you missing?"

Bei Tangqi was frightened by Mu Qing, his body tensed up suddenly, but his feet slipped and he fell into the water with a "pop".He jumped repeatedly, sometimes rising to the surface of the water, sometimes sinking, and he still didn't forget to shout: "Damn! You woman, you dare to tease this king! Look at this king coming up... come up... no... no... save me!! I can't water!!"

This loud shout really shocked Mu Qing, she really didn't expect that this bastard really didn't know how to swim.Mu Qing frowned, thinking that something big was wrong.So without further ado, he took off his coat, jumped into the water without hesitation, and fished up the frightened "brother".

The wet Beitang Qi was exhaling wearily, his handsome face was covered with ink-colored hair.He only felt a faint fragrance coming from time to time, and the warmth made him gradually calm down, and he didn't want to wake up unconsciously.Just at this moment, a low and clear voice sounded from above, "My dear brother, how long do you want to sleep?"

A simple sentence immediately made Beitang Qi bounce up like a lightning strike.He looked at Su Muqing who was looking at him leisurely with one hand pillowed behind him, his sleepy face became stiff just now.

Mu Qing smiled leisurely, stretched out her hand and said, "Pull Mrs. Huang to get up."

Beitang Qi swallowed hard his saliva, feeling that something was wrong all over his body, so he could only sit there with his face flushed.It seemed like a long time before she finally calmed down a little and pulled Mu Qing up.

Mu Qing chuckled lightly, brushed off her drenched robe, thinking she had to change again.

At this time, she looked up at Beitang Qi, lost in thought.Speaking of it, since the incident at the Imperial Hospital last time and the incident of delivering medicine that night, Beitang Qi seems to be honest, and I don't know what he thinks. In short, every time he sees her, this prince will definitely take a detour. Finally, she got caught.

The unexplained pain suddenly made Mu Qing frowned slightly.Opening up his palms to look, he realized that when he was pulling Beitang Qi, he seemed to have been scratched by some sharp stones, the wound was not shallow, and blood was dripping down continuously.

She clenched it indifferently, Bei Tangqi couldn't help frowning because she was so careless to herself.So he stepped forward, wanting to bandage Su Muqing temporarily, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

Mu Qing thought for a while, and recalled that Shangguan Yu once said that Liu Huirong organized today's banquet of ten thousand generals.Thinking maybe at this time I can understand some clues?So with a hook on the corner of his lips, he directly pulled Beitang Qi to hide behind a rockery.

"You..." Beitang Qi, who was also dragged to the back of the rockery, turned blue with aggrieved face, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only drive the ducks to the shelf, hold his breath and accompany Su Muqing to spy together.

Is it Liu Huirong?Listen to the voice, it is a man and a woman.

"It's her...?" Beitang Qi whispered suddenly, his lips pursed lightly, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he pulled Mu Qing away, "Sister-in-law... Maybe someone is here to discuss important matters, Let's go to other places. Ben Wang... Ben Wang just happened to have something to look for you as well."

Mu Qing frowned, and looked at Beitang Qi in front of her with doubts.

This man will not lie.

Moreover, inexplicably began to call her the emperor's wife, which was... a bit strange.

So when she turned her eyes, she curled her lips, pointed behind her suddenly, and said, "Concubine Liu!"

Beitang Qi was taken aback for a moment, then looked in the direction Mu Qing pointed.Taking advantage of this moment, Mu Qing hurriedly turned her head, wanting to see what Beitang Qi was hiding.However, when the two people who were slowly walking into the back garden came into Mu Qing's eyes, the eyes that were always firm and confident under the blush were slightly stunned, and the pink lips parted unconsciously, as if being caught by the person who seemed to be Inspired by the most beautiful scroll in the world, even...

In front of the eyes, the breeze blows, and the sun spreads a golden beauty on the entire backyard.A man dressed in bright yellow lightly embraced Qingshui Yiren, and he walked in slowly with a gentle smile.

That person, with long loose hair, beautiful red makeup, and a snow gauze skirt, is extraordinary and refined.

And he, with a handsome face and a smile, eyes full of tenderness, dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, is unparalleled in beauty.

He and her, in this fairyland like a peach blossom garden, are like the most suitable lovers in the world... And the way he looks at her is something she has never seen before, Su Muqing, even Liu Huirong.It seems that that handsome woman is the treasure in his eyes.

It wasn't for getting the scroll, it wasn't for stabilizing the power...but it was for real, looking deeply at and caring for that woman.

Mu Qing unconsciously took a small step back, her eyes became a little more erratic.Her fingertips opened and closed, closed and opened, as if suddenly, a little at a loss.

For the first time, Su Muqing, who had been famous all her life, was a little scared.

Lowering her head, she was soaked in a mess, her hair was sticky on her forehead, and even her morning makeup couldn't be seen by the pool water.

She just stared blankly, she could only stare blankly.

But she is obviously not the one who cares about these things, never has been... She should just walk out like in the past, say hello calmly, and then turn around and leave without hesitation.

But now, why are you so hesitant...

"It's really her..." Beitang Qi frowned and read in a low voice.

Mu Qing seemed to hear it, but without turning her head, she just looked at the pair of people who accompanied her in the garden, and said calmly, "She...?"

"She is the emperor's confidante, Lan Yao'er. The most talented woman in Zuiyulou. If it weren't for her, the emperor would not be able to get out of the haze he had on you at that time... Today, it is a day of celebration, So I specially summoned her into the palace to participate in the banquet of ten thousand generals. I heard that a song and dance was also arranged to show off her talents." Bei Tangqi whispered, but unconsciously a little irritable, it seemed that he felt his own for the first time Brother Huang should not appear in this way.Because he knew that no matter how much the imperial brother loved Su Muqing back then, in front of this woman, Su Muqing now can only be a loser.

"Your Majesty, look at how beautiful these spring flowers are, so Yao'er can't help but make a match with the Emperor, how about it?" Lan Yaoer chuckled lightly, with a gentle voice, then raised her hand, wanting to pick it A new flower on the tree was accidentally pricked by the thorn, so he frowned slightly, quickly withdrew his hand, pressed it a little, and found a drop of blood oozing out.

"Why are you so careless?" Beitangfeng seemed a little anxious, quickly took her fingertips, looked back at Lan Yao'er with some displeasure, and said, "Yao'er, your hand can play the best music in the world." Qu’s, be careful to protect it. I don’t want to give up.”

Lan Yao'er smiled lightly, coquettishly, like a fairy.

Mu Qing watched quietly, even becoming more and more quiet.She stepped forward again, and unconsciously clenched her fist.At the same time, Beitang Qi seemed startled, and grabbed her hand and said, "Don't hold it! Your hand is already injured!"

The blood on the palm has already seeped into the soil, drop by drop...

Beitang Qi's voice seemed to startle Mu Qing, causing her to recover from her sluggishness a little bit, but there was still some inexplicable hesitation in her usually sharp eyes.Beitang Qi was slightly surprised by this look.

She should be the kind of woman who taunted other women in the past, and even put other women to death with tricks, but why at this moment, that Qingcheng's eyes are full of hesitation and helplessness.

"You..." Beitang Qi whispered, feeling a little empty in his heart.But unexpectedly, Mu Qing turned into a peaceful smile in the next moment, she slowly took her hand back, and looked at it with the other hand.Then he took out a piece of silk, wound it around a few times casually, and it was ready for disposal.

Her hands were no longer slender enough.Injuries, big and small, left scars.Presumably, it is much uglier than that woman's.

"I... let's take a step first. Fengyang Palace still has a lot to do, I..." Mu Qing whispered, her body suddenly felt a little weak.

She may be sick, or she may be too tired in the morning, otherwise, why is her body so weak, and her heart seems to be torn apart.

She didn't understand, she couldn't figure it out, but... the pain in her heart that she couldn't breathe was real.

Just when Mu Qing was about to leave without a sound like this, leaving this beautiful match made in heaven, Beitangfeng not far away seemed to hear some voices.He frowned, and said in a low voice, "Who, come out for me."

When Beitang Qi heard this, he seemed a little flustered, so he lowered his head and said to Mu Qing: "I'll go, you... you'd better go back to the palace later... Then I..."

Before Beitangqi finished speaking, Mu Qing suddenly touched Beitangqi's arm lightly, and shook her head, "...why do you want to hide?" He is confident and unruly, but he doesn't know that the wound in that eye has deeply fallen into Beitang Qi's eyes.

So Bei Tangqi frowned, he didn't know where his temper came from, he grabbed Mu Qing's wrist, and said: "The king will go out with you." Walk out after the rockery.

When Beitangfeng saw Su Muqing and Beitang Qi who was pulling her, Junyi's eyes seemed to tremble suddenly, and the originally indifferent smile gradually turned into a coldness that no one noticed.

"Prince Qi... It's been a long time..." Just as Lan Yaoer was about to step forward to greet Beitang Qi, she suddenly saw Su Muqing who was being held tightly by his side. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed.

"Qi?" Bei Tangfeng frowned, but his handsome eyes kept staring at Mu Qing's hand, "What are you doing here?" He said while looking at these two people who were both soaked and even extremely embarrassed. people.

Beitang Qi gritted his teeth, and then said: "Brother Huang, brother..."

"The concubine just saw the prince, so she came here to say hello. Unexpectedly, she fell into the water." Mu Qing interrupted Beitang Qi suddenly, and continued with a calm voice and a slight smile, "The concubine will not disturb the emperor anymore. "

"Wait a minute." Just as Mu Qing finished speaking, Lan Yao'er suddenly stepped out from behind Bei Tangfeng, and she took it slowly.She was wearing a light velvet cloak, which was gently tied on Mu Qing's body, "It's still quite cold, the Queen's body is important."

Mu Qing glanced sideways at the cloak tied around her body, and always felt that it was studded with ten thousand thorns, which made her extremely uncomfortable.She raised her eyes and saw a trace of strangeness in Beitangfeng's eyes, she immediately understood.

This cloak must have been given to Lan Yao'er by Beitang Feng.

Mu Qing suddenly smiled softly, with a gentle face, then quietly took off the cloak, folded it, and slowly put it back in Lan Yao'er's hands, saying: "The things the emperor bestows on you, it is better to keep them Bengong, I can't take it." After finishing speaking, she smiled again, sweetly and calmly.However, from the beginning to the end, she never took a serious look at Beitangfeng.

"Then, the concubine will leave." After Mu Qing finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, turned around slowly, and suddenly walked away with her head held high.Beitang Qi also left with a dry smile, leaving behind Beitangfeng's slightly trembling daze.

Today, Su Muqing looked at Lan Yao'er and Beitang Qi, but she didn't give him a positive look.He didn't remember exactly how he provoked Su Muqing, but not long ago he asked the respect room to transfer the eunuch to Fengyang Palace, thinking about it, this woman really didn't have any good looks at all.

Inexplicably, Beitangfeng frowned, and even his fingertips began to tighten a little.Thinking of this, Beitang Feng frowned slightly, especially when his gaze passed over Beitang Qi, it seemed that the surrounding air was once again condensed into a layer of frost.

Seeing them leaving one after another, Lan Yao'er stepped forward.She glanced at Beitangfeng's gradually clenched fist, and then at the eyes that had been staring at Su Muqing's leaving back for a long time, a green light flashed in those beautiful eyes again, "Your Majesty," Lan Yaoer said suddenly, and then Gently embracing Beitangfeng's arm, he said, "Your Majesty, don't look any further, he has already left."

Bei Tangfeng frowned slightly, "Zhen, it's just..."

"Your majesty." Lan Yao'er interrupted suddenly, and continued, "Yao'er, you know the emperor's heart best. The emperor has not completely let go of this woman, and Yao'er knows it well. Especially since she came back from the emperor's incognito service, she never looked for her again. Yao'er, Yao'er is even more convinced." After Lan Yao'er finished speaking, she slowly walked in front of Beitang Feng, looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you promised Yao'er?... The emperor can no longer think about this woman who hurt the emperor, forget her, completely forget her, and absolutely can't love her anymore."

Beitangfeng silently looked at Lan Yaoer's beautiful face, there was an invisible silence in his eyes.

But soon, he twitched his shallow lips, pulled Lan Yaoer's hair, and said, "Yaoer, you are wrong. I, I have not loved this woman for a long time."

Lan Yao'er's fingertips in her sleeve trembled violently, and her eyes also trembled a little, as if she still felt a little blocked by the Beitang wind.After a while, she also smiled, with a gentle smile, "Since the emperor said that he doesn't love her anymore, then Yao'er believes in the emperor. Yao'er is just worried that the emperor will get hurt again."

Beitangfeng slowly raised his eyes, looked at Lan Yaoer, and said as if he wanted to miss the topic just now, "Yaoer, today, you changed the sachet. I think it was inadvertently pleasing. Next time, it's better Take the original."

After Beitangfeng finished speaking, he walked to the depths, leaving Lan Yaoer quietly looking at Beitangfeng's back.Then, she looked at the sachet on her waist.

The original sachet was given to her by Shangshu Baili when she asked her to meet the emperor.Just now when I met the queen, I realized that the sachet...was exactly the same as the fragrance on the queen's body.

Lan Yao'er sighed lightly, put away the sachet again, stepped forward to follow Beitangfeng's footsteps.

It was getting dark, but the palace was already brightly lit, reflecting the blue sky like daylight.When the banquet was about to be held, the gates of the palace were wide open, and the whole country celebrated with joy. The royal relatives and relatives met one by one, and finally added some popularity to the perennially cold palace.

According to the etiquette of the Nanyue Dynasty, before such a solemn banquet, the emperor had to go to the Queen's Palace and bring the queen to the banquet of ten thousand people to announce to the world that the Nanyue Dynasty was in harmony with dragons and phoenixes.Therefore, Beitangfeng, who was wearing the Nine Dragons yellow robe, waited outside Fengyang Palace early on. He did not let Li Dexi inform the inside, but just stood quietly outside, as if admiring the gradually darkening sky .

Seeing that it was late, Li Dexi wanted to invite the queen out on his behalf, but was rejected by Beitangfeng with a flat "no".Li Dexi watched Bei Tangfeng's face, but he couldn't see any emotion in his handsome eyes.

At this moment, the gate of Fengyang Palace suddenly rang, and the loud sound attracted everyone's attention.

As the sound of pushing stones gradually sounded, the red Nagato was pushed open a gap, and as the gap connecting with Fengyang Palace was opened more and more, a man dressed in a colorful Liuyunfeng robe The woman stepped out slowly.Beitangfeng's eyes trembled slightly, as if he was stunned for a moment.

The door opened, and Su Muqing walked forward steadily, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.Half of her long hair is coiled into two clouds, and the other half hangs quietly behind her back. She wears a golden beaded phoenix head hairpin and auspicious cloud pendants on her ears. World Phoenix.She put on makeup on her eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of her eyes were blue and slanted. It was different from the red in the past, and it was more of an untouchable nobility of an iceberg beauty.Her eyes were slightly drooping, as indifferent as the wind, like a fairy in the clouds.A little vermilion lips, like a peony in its heyday, with clear water falling on it, adding a kind of crystal beauty.

Today, she is so stunningly beautiful, so beautiful that all the people outside the door are dumbfounded.

Beitangfeng watched quietly, his handsome eyes trembled slightly, and he forgot the purpose of this trip for a moment.

Mu Qing paused, sliding her eyes slightly, looking at Beitang Feng beside her, unconsciously raised a little indifference.

Today, he is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with shoulder-length hair and a wide belt around his waist, making his body slender and straight.

Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then it turned into a faint smile.She stepped in front of Beitangfeng, and said in a calm voice, "Concubine, please keep the emperor waiting for a long time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Her voice was neither humble nor overbearing. Everyone felt a little tight in their hearts, and they were all deeply attracted by her.After finishing speaking, Mu Qing slowly raised her eyes, and after she glanced at Beitangfeng in etiquette, she lowered her eyes slightly.

Bei Tangfeng couldn't help frowning.

This woman, after a long time, still doesn't look at him directly.

Beitangfeng couldn't help feeling a bit chilly, raised his slender fingers slightly, and put them in front of Mu Qing's eyes, "According to the rules of our ancestors, I must lead you in."

Mu Qing frowned, did not reply, but sighed impatiently, and then lightly placed her hand on Beitangfeng's finger.It was this soft sigh that made Beitangfeng's eyes deepen, and even his complexion darkened a lot.

Being led in by the emperor, many concubines are envious of it, but this woman is so ignorant.Beitangfeng gritted his teeth, and squeezed her hand firmly in his.However, with this force, Mu Qing gasped suddenly, and even froze all over her body.

The cut wound on his hand seemed to be torn open by this man.

Bei Tangfeng, who seemed to see something wrong with Mu Qing, lifted her hand with lowered eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
