Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 38
"Oh..." Mu Qing let out a long sigh, and then stretched heavily.

Instead of frowning now, it's better to live a free and easy life.

Suddenly a quiet wind blew outside the house, blowing in this place full of spring, knocking down rootless leaves one by one.

"Falling leaves return to their roots." Mu Qing said softly, recalling all kinds of things in the palace in her mind.

It's time to tidy up everything, lest if you really leave, if you leave in a hurry, you will leave regrets all over your body.She should take advantage of the calm before the storm to create some good memories.If, at that time, God really wanted her to die, she would go away and leave behind a fragrance, keeping the memories of her life here and the friends she had made deeply in her mind for a moment, and she didn't want to forget it.

Mu Qing quietly covered her throbbing chest with her hands, feeling the still beating heart.

If she fails in the end and cannot survive, then she will also give that person a final memory...

Changing into more formal clothes, it was the first time that Mu Qing personally filled up her makeup in front of the mirror.The pink rouge touched the crimson lips, and after a few sips, it was much more gorgeous than before.She held the mirror with both hands, staring carefully at herself on the opposite side, always feeling a little strange.Is it possible that such an alluring woman is the one that Beitangfeng never forgets?Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a little nervous, thinking that since she came to this world, although Beitangfeng secretly helped her everywhere, she never did anything that she thought was gentle to her. Now this woman who has only been in contact with him for a few months is still the married wife who once loved each other.

She moved her fingertips to cover her face in the mirror, feeling a little bored in her heart.Finally, she straightened her belt a few times, and she walked out the door quietly with the hem of her skirt in hand.

According to Beitangfeng's practice, she will definitely handle official business in Feishuang Palace after she goes down to court. For this place, if she said that she has no shadow at all, it would be a lie.

She stood at the main entrance, staring at the magnificent palace.The golden dragons entwined on both sides seemed to be devouring the future.She took a few deep breaths, and just about to take the first step, she saw Beitangfeng walking out of Feishuang Palace with Li Dexi.

In the scorching sun at noon, the bright yellow dragon robe on his body looked extraordinarily dignified, and his brows were imprinted with dignity, as if the state affairs had encountered a problem.Mu Qing tapped her toes lightly, then gradually retracted, wondering if the invitation might be inappropriate at this time.So he twitched his fingertips, turned around and prepared to talk later.But as soon as she moved, her slender figure fell into Beitangfeng's eyes. Beitangfeng's eyes trembled slightly, and he opened his lips to call her, but he stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Mu Qing's wrist.

Mu Qing's heart tightened, and she couldn't stand still because of the pain in her body, so she fell into Beitangfeng's embrace the moment she turned around.The long hair fluttered with the wind, like gorgeous and colorful ink algae, curled with a faint fragrance, making Beitangfeng's eyes slightly foggy.

"The injury is still not healed, why come here?" He said, his tone was as indifferent as usual, but there was a concern that was not there in the past in just a few words.

Mu Qing put her hand on his chest, and for the first time felt that such an embrace was so reassuring.She smiled lightly, raised her blushing eyes, and her unwavering gaze made Beitangfeng's eyes shake again, especially when she saw her today, wearing a formal dress, which made people unable to remain unmoved .

Beitangfeng glanced quietly, and wanted to let go of his hand, but was suddenly held tightly by Mu Qing.Looking back at her, he always felt that she was inexplicably anxious today, as if she wanted to see him before something happened.

"I wonder if the emperor's political affairs have been dealt with, can I accompany my concubine to the imperial garden?" Mu Qing asked, with some sincere urgency on her face.Although he didn't know why she was like this, but just because she hadn't healed from the wound she suffered for him, he wouldn't reject her.He heaved a sigh of relief, and looked in the direction behind her, "Why don't I find someone to carry you to the imperial garden?"

Mu Qing frowned, and gently pushed Beitangfeng down, "A little bit of flesh and blood is not enough to walk on a stretcher."

"Stretcher?" Beitangfeng was slightly puzzled, but he didn't ask further. He stepped forward and approached Mu Qing, suddenly with a kind of inadvertent temptation, "I haven't fully believed what you said yesterday, but you are eager to have a relationship with me." Say you love it?"

Mu Qing raised her right eyebrow, noncommittal, but with a smile on her lips, she said lightly: "The concubine just passed by here to invite the emperor to enjoy the flowers. If the emperor is busy with business, the concubine will not bother you." Mu Qing Looking sideways, the smile on his face disappeared, and he was about to leave, but was dragged back by Beitang Feng again.He held Mu Qing's waist with one hand, kept picking her chin lightly, leaned closer, and whispered, "It's winter now, my queen will really choose a good time to enjoy the flowers."

"There are stubborn and immortal flowers in winter." Mu Qing burst into a smile, suddenly like a warm spring, which made Beitangfeng look a little lost.He lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of tranquility in the deep blackness of the abyss. Suddenly, he felt that this woman made him feel a little bright, and he couldn't open his eyes.

Yingying, Yanyan are everywhere, and the stubborn and perishable flowers in winter really make him look forward to it.

With Su Muqing like this now, maybe...

He looked into the distance with a little deep meaning, and suddenly hugged Mu Qing forcefully. In surprise, Mu Qing wrapped her arms around Beitangfeng's neck, and then looked at him angrily.

Beitangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and whispered into her ear, "Zhen, I really want to see this winter flower. Today, I will make an exception to accompany you."

Mu Qing pulled her lips, and subconsciously buried her face in his arms. Accompanied by the cold fragrance, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.From the time of Taiyuan Hospital, she may have been willful to him unknowingly.Since then, there has always been an indelible voice in her heart - as long as this man is by her side, he will take good care of her.

The imperial garden in winter is indeed not as gorgeous as in midsummer.It was already the twelfth lunar month when Su Muqing came here for the first time, so she didn't have any impression of the colorful flowers.It's just that the weather today is fine and the temperature is getting warmer. Because of the approaching spring, this place feels like a new life.Mu Qing came down from Beitang Feng's embrace, and quietly looked at the somewhat lonely garden.

Here, as Beitangfeng said, there are no flowers for viewing, and the visible colors are only one or two.She sighed, stroked the remaining leaves with her fingertips, and muttered to herself: "There are really no flowers to appreciate."

Bei Tangfeng stopped, and quietly stared at Mu Qing behind her.The flowers are still in bud, green is everywhere, and the warm golden light softly falls on her who is dressed in red in front of her.The wind blew gently, and a slightly cool fragrance filled the air. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and he said lightly: "No problem. I have already seen what I want to reward."

Mu Qing paused, frowned and looked back at Beitang Feng, "How can the emperor enjoy it all to himself, let the concubine take a look."

Beitangfeng looked at her deeply, approached her, and suddenly embraced her from behind, "Only I can see that."

"Stingy." Mu Qing snorted, and got out of Beitangfeng's embrace, suddenly thought of something, so she looked back joyfully, "Your Majesty, your flute skills are very good, can you teach me a lesson or two?"

Beitangfeng frowned, and suddenly remembered the night when he played the flute in the abandoned hall not long ago, he couldn't help but feel a little more heavy.But soon, he restrained all his unhappiness, and said, "Okay, if you want." Then, he took out the blue-tasseled jade flute from his bosom, and placed it on Mu Qing with his fingertips. hand, "You blow it first."

Mu Qing slid her fingertips over the dragon-carved and blue-tasseled jade flute, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She finally had the chance to try this flute that appeared in her dream.The workmanship of the carved dragon jade flute is extremely exquisite, and there are fine carvings in every tiny place. The lines are natural and generous, really like a heavenly dragon on a column. A little bit closer.

She leaned close to her lips and blew gently, expecting that the melodious flute sound would float in like the melodious flute that she heard that night, but unexpectedly she let out a breath in vain.Beitangfeng watched silently, and couldn't help laughing out loud. When he realized it, he found that Su Muqing was already staring at him with disbelieving eyes.The corners of Beitangfeng's brows trembled slightly, and he turned his eyes elsewhere.

Mu Qing stroked the jade flute twice, feeling a little warmth in her heart.Beitangfeng is always indifferent and reticent on weekdays, but it was the first time she saw his smile just now, and it was as refreshing as the sun breaking through the ice.

Beitangfeng suddenly embraced her body from behind, and lightly covered Mu Qing's icy catkins with his slender hands, "This way." He whispered, his voice was deliberately seductive, and at the same time he led her hand slowly. Slowly move the jade flute to his lips, "Slow down, keep your breath steady."

Being so touched by Beitang Feng, Mu Qing's body seemed to be frozen together, and the cold fragrance from his body wrapped her around her like a rope, even making her unable to breathe.Mu Qing had bad thoughts in her heart, and as she recognized the emotions in her heart, she seemed to have been restrained by Beitang wind.

If in this game, Beitangfeng is not sincere.Maybe it will make her stand tall and fall hard.She moved her eyes and peeped at Beitangfeng quietly, always feeling that she still couldn't see through this man, not at all.

Afterwards, without thinking too much, under Beitangfeng's strict guidance, Mu Qing finally played the flute, the sound was melodious and scattered like silk.Mu Qing's heart was filled with joy, her eyes trembled uncontrollably, her cheeks flushed slightly, like ripe green fruits, making people want to taste one or two.

Bei Tangfeng took a step back, staring at the woman in front of him from the side, his eyes were as silent as an abyss, as if he was deep in thought.He suddenly heard Li Dexi's "Military Minister seeks an audience" interrupted his in-depth thoughts, loosened his brows with his fingertips, and looked at Mu Qing again, "Queen, I still have important things to do. If you like it, I will give you the flute." I leave it to you." Beitangfeng said coldly, as if deliberately suppressing the growing anxiety in the center.

Putting down the dragon-carving jade flute in her hand, Mu Qing turned around and looked at the clear and dignified northern wind, her eyes under the dizzy corners changed back to the original clarity and calmness that seemed to see through everything, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your company." She Approaching, a slight salute.

"Yeah." Bei Tangfeng nodded, but the look in her eyes was still mixed with a touch of complexity.The breeze blew the corner of the bright yellow clothes, and it fell in front of her eyes and swayed slightly. When she turned around, the long hair lifted up was like a silk gauze, ethereal as if it was thousands of miles away.She lowered her eyes quietly until she felt that the cold fragrance was getting farther and farther away from her.She clenched the jade flute tightly, feeling such a cold thing in her hand for the first time.

Yes, without people around, the flute is just an object.

She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Beitangfeng's disappearing figure, squeezed the hand of the jade flute, and then released it forcefully, as if there was still something left in her heart.This sudden feeling of emptiness, faintly haunting, hooked her heart.

There seemed to be one more thing she wanted to keep in memory before she gave it her all.

And one more...

Her clear pupils trembled suddenly, she endured the pain in her body, and suddenly ran towards Beitangfeng.The long-haired silk robe is entwined with the wind, like a fairy walking out of a picture scroll, beautiful but not delicate.

Stretching out his fingertips, he suddenly grabbed Beitangfeng's hand, but it seemed that he had exhausted the last ounce of strength in this ruined body.

In this way, Beitangfeng was pulled back by her sudden force without warning, and in the blink of an eye, he could only feel his cold lips being surrounded by a kind of warm softness.At this moment, she was so close to him, as if they were sharing each other's last warmth.He felt her lips tremble a little inadvertently, as if a little timid, but it was so domineering that he couldn't avoid it.

She looked at him deeply and kissed him deeper and deeper, as if she wanted to engrave everything about him in her heart.It also made him panic for the first time.

He held her arm tightly, trying to push her away with a little force.

She could see that although he was brave enough to accompany her today, this kiss seemed to show that he occasionally dodged.But maybe the meeting at this time is the last scene, and she does not allow him to escape, at least... at this moment.So Mu Qing frowned slightly, wrapped her arms around Beitangfeng's waist, and instantly shortened the distance between the two of them, making the kiss deeper, deeper.

At this time, something seemed to surge out of Beitangfeng's chest like crazy, breaking through his rationality and the coldness he had carefully erected. He suddenly hugged Mu Qing tightly, and deeply kissed her back.Everything around seems to be spinning, and everything seems to be no longer important.

In this world, there are only him and her.

Just when Beitangfeng was about to sink into the kiss that seemed to rob him of all his sanity, Mu Qing suddenly pushed him away with her arms.She took two steps back, panting deeply, biting her lips tightly, and her sharp eyes were tightly locked on Beitang's handsome face, "Don't forget Su Muqing." Mu Qing Suddenly smiled, and then ran away from him gently, like a fleeting epiphyllum.

Beitangfeng was startled for a moment, then murmured softly: "Zhen, I will never forget."

Mu Qing, who had turned her back on Beitang Feng, smiled slightly, "That's it, that's good."

When Shangguan Yu found Su Muqing, he found that she almost fainted in pain on the way back to Fengyang Palace because of her unhealed injuries.There was sweat on his face, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.He was really helpless because of this disobedient master, but he couldn't say anything more, he just picked her up and continued to walk towards the palace.

On the way, Mu Qing suddenly grabbed the corner of Shangguan Yu's clothes. Seeing that Shangguan Yu remained silent, she couldn't help laughing, "Shangguan, are you in a bad mood today?"

"If my master can make the servants less worried, the servants won't be like this." Shangguan Yu said sullenly, subconsciously sliding his eyes down to look at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing coughed twice, deliberately avoiding the topic just now, when she suddenly thought of something, she said, "By the way, do you know where all the books in the palace are?"

Shangguan Yu paused, and was about to speak, but seemed to be avoiding it, until he met Mu Qing's sharp eyes, and he replied helplessly: "The Yushuku has a complete collection of books."

Mu Qing's heart tightened, she always felt that she still had memories of this place in her mind.She hummed a few times, and suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace and was forced to memorize all the palaces in the palace, only this imperial library was mentioned by the eunuch in charge, as if deliberately ignoring this place.It's no wonder that she, who loves books so much, is always worried about having no books.

Mu Qing smiled, she had already made a decision in her heart.I don't know when Liu Liangchu's conspiracy was launched. Instead of staring at the empty room in Fengyang Palace, it is better to bury in the pile of books and enjoy the last peace.Most importantly, she also wanted to take the opportunity to look up some things to help herself recall the scroll earlier.So she looked sideways at Shang Guan Yu, with a faint blue light flickering in her gaze.Shangguan Yu knew what she meant, he felt melancholy for a while, then he had no choice but to turn and walk towards the Yushuku.

The imperial palace, the imperial library.

When she stopped at the gate of the library, Mu Qing lightly stopped her steps and looked up.Here, even the air is lingering with a scent of books, but it also carries an ancient, almost decaying smell.On the whole, it can be regarded as a palace, but it is quiet without a trace of sound.The gate has not yet accumulated soil, so someone is in charge.She took a few steps forward, grabbed the copper ring with her fingertips and tapped it vigorously a few times. The vibration was not small, and the silence here was instantly broken.

At this time, the door opened, and with a heavy voice, an old eunuch with a bone and chicken skin came out through the crack of the door.He glanced at Mu Qing, murmured something to himself, then wiped his dizzy eyes vigorously, after seeing clearly the phoenix picture embroidered on the corner of Mu Qing's clothes, he was terrified and murmured tremblingly : "Old slave...greetings to the empress..."

Mu Qing immediately stepped forward to support the old man, her eyes revealed some tenderness, "Elder-in-law, you don't need to be polite, I just came to find some books, I will leave after reading." She smiled like a warm sun, making the old man's gloomy eyes gradually slide a little brilliant.Shangguan Yu on the side watched this scene, and there was a little more tenderness on his face.

"No one has been here for a long time." The old eunuch said with some emotion, "I don't know what book Madam wants to borrow, but this old slave will lead the way for Madam."

Mu Qing narrowed her brows and eyes slightly, she had already made up her mind.So he took a step forward and said seriously: "Nanyue, Beitang from 56 to the present, all court history volumes."

The old eunuch's face suddenly showed horror, as if recalling some heavy memories, "Empress, this old servant has guarded this library for decades, and no one dares to ask about this history, because the emperor issued an imperial decree." The old man said, Then she raised her head and looked at Mu Qing, "Anyone who mentions the history of Beitang's court after 56 years will be held accountable."

"Oh?" Mu Qing immediately became alert, "Aren't you allowed to reveal anything?"

The old eunuch was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then said solemnly: "It's rare for your mother to come back to the Imperial Library. If it's the first volume... maybe..."

"The first volume is enough." The corners of Mu Qing's lips raised slightly, and a quiet blue color faded out of her eyes.

The old eunuch sighed deeply, nodded, and turned around to lead the way with shaky steps.Mu Qing followed closely behind, with some deep thought on her face.What happened in Nanyue that made Beitangfeng care so much about that period of history?And all of this, what kind of secret does it have with the scroll and Su Muqing?
Perhaps, she will know soon.

……

After walking for a long time, the old eunuch brought Mu Qing to a huge sandalwood cabinet. The old eunuch first appeased Mu Qing and then climbed up the ladder tremblingly with both hands.At the end, he took out a book wrapped in gold silk cloth from inside.Then he came down slowly as he had come up.He put the booklet in Mu Qing's hand, and said: "The emperor himself does not want to recall this period of history. Although it is only the first volume, it is enough to make the emperor feel pain." After finishing speaking, he and Shangguan Yu left the study .There was a knock at the door, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
