Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 51
It has been three full days since Mu Qing came to Leng Gong.Whenever the other women in the cold palace recalled the scene when Su Muqing was forcibly brought here by Jin Yiwei, they couldn't help but tremble all over.

At that time, the blood on Su Muqing's heart was still wet, and there was a sticky pain that made people dare not look directly at it.There was no charm in her eyes, and every step she took was like a walking dead.The indifference that emanated from her from time to time made people around her afraid to approach her, feeling extremely dangerous.

As if it had been specially arranged, Su Muqing had her own room, which was clean and tidy, not as dirty and messy as other places, but it was also as simple as an empty room - a wooden table lightly leaning against the bed, other than that , there is only a dry and hard wooden bed left.

From that day on, Su Muqing didn't say a word. Apart from maintaining the most basic survival, she just sat bent over the wooden table and looked at the distant sky with her chin in her hands.Looking at the rising sun, and watching the moon night falling, the eyes are so empty that there is nothing.

Dressed in white silk like this, with bare feet and always sitting silently at night with her black hair loose, she has gradually become the focus of discussions among people in the cold palace, but no one wants to step into her room and say a word to her talk.

Of course, she doesn't respond to anyone either.Because the hotness in my heart had gradually cooled down at some point.

Tonight, dark clouds cover the moon.Su Muqing looked at the sky quietly as in the past few days, pinched the yellowed steamed bun with her fingertips, and gnawed on it again and again, without the slightest expression on her beautiful face.

Beside her, there are her personal items sent by Fengyang Palace: a locked brocade box, a gold hairpin, and a velvet white cloak.

Regarding these, Mu Qing never took a look at them, as if she didn't care about these things at all.

Suddenly, I heard some trivial footsteps outside the house. Under the moonlight, there were gradually many neatly dressed guards in brocade clothes. At the same time, there was a woman's ear-piercing growl.

It should be locked in again, Mu Qing thought.But for her now, she was a little numb.

Regarding this cold palace, it is different from what was recorded in past history books.Because Beitangfeng doesn't admire the three thousand beauties in the harem, those beauties basically spent the rest of their lives in their own palace except for the big mistakes of their families. She is such a fool.The rest are mostly concubines or former concubines of the former emperor, and occasionally some court ladies who have made big mistakes will come in to change the cold palace.

Just today, three people have been sent to the hospital.

Mu Qing lowered her eyes, and bit off the steamed bun, her mouth was dry, but she didn't bother to find water to drink.

The door rang, and Shen Yunzhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walked in, and saw Su Muqing sitting quietly at the table in white clothes under the moonlight, with a pair of handsome eyes moving quietly.He approached, put a warm cotton quilt beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, excuse me. The Emperor said that Your Majesty has done great things to Nanyue. No matter how much you have done in the past, you must take good care of your body. Your Majesty's wounds have not healed, and her clothes are thin , and ordered his subordinates to bring warm quilts."

Mu Qing was about to bite the mouth of the steamed bun again, but she slowly stopped.Shen Yunzhi's pupils trembled with the cold and nothingness in his eyes.

Mu Qing lowered her eyes, brushed the quilt with her fingertips, feeling the slight coolness, she suddenly raised the corner of her lower lip, "Su Muqing, the guilty woman, how can He De accept the things from the emperor."

As she spoke, she stood up, her waist-length black hair swaying gently, her white silk clothes were soft and flowing, and as the night wind blew past, her beautiful figure was subdued.She looked sideways, just smiled quietly, and then walked past Shen Yunzhi, bringing a burst of fragrance, causing Shen Yunzhi to lower his eyes and stop talking.

This woman, even in prison, still held her head high and never succumbed to anyone.

Even if it is the emperor.

She seemed unwilling to be alone with Shen Yunzhi anymore, so she went out of the room, walking on the dirty ground quietly with her bare feet.

Not far away, several Jin Yiwei were pressing down on a woman. The woman was so furious that she even scratched the Jin Yiwei who was holding her.But when Mu Qing walked past her as if no one was there, the woman was suddenly startled. She tried her best to push away the people around her, and ran towards Mu Qing desperately, then grabbed her arm and shouted: "Su Muqing! You It's Su Muqing, right!!!"

A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Mu Qing coldly looked back at the woman who was pulling her sleeve.Soon, a face that was originally clear but now dyed black came into her eyes.

Mu Qing frowned slightly, then sneered.

Unexpectedly, one day he would live in the same palace as Liu Huirong.What's more, she didn't expect that she was the first person to call her "Su Muqing" after coming here.

But on the other hand, when Liu Huirong met Su Muqing's cold and frightening eyes at the moment, her heart tightened, and she unconsciously let go, as if shocked by the strange eyes.

Is this... really the Su Muqing she knew?Why is this woman's eyes no longer able to find the warm sun-like feeling in the past, but cold, so cold that she wants to hug her body unconsciously.

Su Muqing sneered, then raised her finger, and quietly brushed off Liu Huirong's gripping hand, and under her staring in amazement and surprise, Mu Qing continued to walk forward alone, with her long hair scattered behind her, Swaying gently, there was a soundless tranquility.

Soon, Liu Huirong was pushed back by those brocade guards again, but this time, she kept staring at Mu Qing's back, without any struggle.

Late at night.

The cool wind was blowing, and there was an unexplainable emptiness in Mingyang Palace.

When Beitangfeng heard Shen Yunzhi's report on the matter in the cold palace, his brows were not only slightly tightened, but he looked at the thing that Su Muqing had returned, with a gloomy light in his eyes.

After Shen Yunzhi left, Beitangfeng came to the window alone, looked up at the waning moon, feeling a little lonely in his heart.

He took out a half-palm-sized scroll from his pocket, and the dragon patterns embroidered on it reflected a little light under the moonlight.

Just a few days ago when Su Muqing returned to court, Wan'er suddenly appeared in Feishuang Palace and returned the scroll to him. According to her, she had to pay a great price to get it back for him after being persecuted by Su Muqing.At this time, willing to take the risk to send it back is to show that she is the real Su Muqing, and the woman who left the city is just a traitor who pretends to be a traitor, because those who really betray the emperor will definitely return the things they have finally obtained. he.

What Wan'er said was not unreasonable, but he didn't completely believe it, but there was only one thing for sure, that is, the woman he had known for several months was lying to him from the beginning to the end.Regardless of whether she betrayed her or not, it had already chilled him thoroughly.But if according to what Wan'er said, she was really the woman who betrayed him before, then how did that woman complete this seamless but unimaginable plan under his nose?And she obviously had the opportunity to leave the palace, but she chose to come back, so what else does she want from him?
Thinking of her again made him fall into a kind of heaviness unknowingly.

Yes, he is still deceiving himself. He should have known that she was not his queen. If he had dared to face it long ago, then everything would make sense, whether it was a change in her temperament or a change in her knowledge... …most importantly, emotionally.

He looked at Mingyue again, with his deep eyes half-drowned, and muttered to himself: "If you are not Wan'er, then who are you... You used to stay by my side... Do you just want to use me again?"

Heart, suddenly a little tired, so tired that I don't want to think about anything.

He walked slowly to the door, and raised his hand to lightly touch the carved wood at the corner of the door.According to common sense, he should go to chat with Wan'er first, but why his feet became so heavy, he couldn't lift the steps to Fengyang Palace.It was as if the person who lived in the palace he was already familiar with was already a stranger he didn't know.

He gently withdrew his hand, mocking himself indifferently.Forget it, see you later, let's talk about it later.As he thought about it, he turned around, but when he moved a little, he heard the door suddenly opened behind him, and then a familiar fragrance wafted in.Beitangfeng was startled, and immediately turned his head to look at the person who came, feeling some unknown emotion in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, where are you going?" Putting down the hand that opened the door, Wan'er whispered, her voice was like a bird, as soft as silk, as if a gurgling stream was flowing.

There was an unknown sense of loss in Beitangfeng's eyes, and then he gradually regained his composure, and said, "I'm not going there either, I just want to let the wind out."

Wan'er smiled, and wanted to stretch out her hand to touch Beitangfeng, but he subconsciously and gently dodged it.

Wan'er was slightly startled, and said in a low voice: "The emperor still doesn't believe that this concubine is Su Muqing?" She then stepped forward and looked up at Beitang Fengdao, "The concubine married the emperor a year ago, the bridal chamber The emperor of Huazhu was unable to consummate the marriage with his concubine because he was in a hurry to solve the border affairs. The emperor came to visit his concubine's palace in the middle of the night on the second day of March and the sixth day of May respectively, but because he was worried that the emperor would be tired, so he did not Did not inform the emperor that the ministers and concubines were awake at that time. Dare to ask the emperor, did any of the emperor Su Muqing mention such things? And did she really assist the emperor to find the lost secret volume?" Speaking of this, Wan Her face showed sadness, and then she gently slumped into Beitangfeng's arms, tears streaming down her bright yellow clothes, "The concubine was always worried that this impostor would hurt the emperor. As a result... This is actually true. The concubine will never forgive her." She squeezed Beitangfeng's clothes tightly, "Wan'er did not hesitate to put himself in danger for the emperor, because Wan'er loves the emperor deeply, more than anyone else. If the emperor really has given up on Wan'er and wants to be with that disaster, Wan'er...will die of grief."

Feeling the trembling shoulders and the face that stained his dragon robe wet, he gradually lowered his eyes.

So delicate, so pitiful, she...is really late.

He was a little puzzled, raised his fingertips slightly, hesitated at first, but finally covered her shoulders and pulled her into his arms, saying: "No. You are my late son." The eyes turned slightly, and it was different from the tone of the voice, with a kind of profundity and indifference.

Wan'er nodded, and hugged Beitangfeng even harder, but for a moment when he couldn't see it, there was a ferocious look mixed with anger.

Five days have passed, and the spring in the palace should be closer.

I don't know if the partners in Fengyang Palace are doing well.I remember that after the chaos was put down, she hadn't had time to reward and thank Xiao Guizi and the other eunuchs who helped, and she didn't know if they got along well with the bride?

Mu Qing laughed at herself.

Perhaps, she is the bride whose dove occupies the magpie's nest.

At this moment Mu Qing was sitting by the window, calm as water.She straightened her five fingers, and the quiet moonlight sprinkled into her eyes through the gaps between her fingers, making her feel that even the night moon in the palace was a bit dazzling, and even made her staring eyes feel a little painful.

"Su Muqing, you just said something! Hey!" From the side, Liu Huirong's yelling could be heard from time to time, and Mu Qing seemed to be used to such a voice.

According to Liu Huirong, she locked herself up with her, Su Muqing, just because she wanted to give her, Su, a chance to redeem her sins.But judging from the cries of those crazy women looking for Liu Huirong from outside, it was only because she was afraid of the madmen outside that she didn't dare to go out of her room - because only this room, those crazy women dared not enter.

To her, Liu Huirong was actually a relatively innocent person.Mu Qing could tell that she was actually a woman without a city, and her personality could be exposed.Now the Liu family is down and down, mainly because Liu Liangchu himself has done something against the common people and trapped himself in a cocoon.

Now that the Liu family is devastated, Liu Liangchu was beheaded in the street in Nancheng, and the souls of Mingxue and those starved to death in heaven can finally rest in peace.For this woman who was just bluffing from the beginning to the end, and who was used by her many times, she was not so angry anymore.So she didn't pierce the window paper. In fact, Mu Qing never dealt with her cruelly, she just felt that this straight-tempered woman was actually not bad at heart.

She withdrew her hand, and quietly looked back at the woman who dared to lie on her bed majestically.Seeing her sleeping body shivering from the sudden cold of the night.Mu Qing was silent at first, then got up halfway.Then he threw the velvet white cloak beside her on her body, and he quietly left the room.

……

Outside the room, it was a bit cold, and the snow-white clothing was blown around.

Mu Qing originally wanted to take a breather in the courtyard, but suddenly felt something was wrong.She raised her fingertips and hung the hair around her ears back behind her ears, with a smile on her lips.

Thinking about being a bit boring these days, it really made her extremely happy to have a guest who came to visit her at this time.

There are more and more images of people around, gradually covering the moonlight on the ground, like ghosts.They seemed to want to surround Su Muqing, but they were cautious and could only move forward little by little.Judging from the white clothes of these people, they should also be lunatics in the cold palace, no matter how they think about it, they are here to spy on her.

She said that since she came, the frequency of people entering this cold palace seems to be abnormally high.

"If you want to kill someone, you hesitate so much, okay?" Mu Qing chuckled, the laughter was full of sarcasm, and at the same time, a sharp light burst out from her slowly opened eyes, reflected by the cold moon, unexpectedly Added a bit of cruelty that cheered up the surrounding people.

Those "lunatics" froze and couldn't help stopping their steps forward, but their fear and anxiety only highlighted Su Muqing's indifference.

She sighed, moved her toes lightly, and was ready to fight.At the same time, he smiled calmly, steady and not in a hurry.

Seeing that Su Muqing was not afraid of death at all, they were somewhat hesitant, and they all judged whether the person in front of them had any backhands.But soon, one of them finally lost his patience, flashed a knife at his fingertips, and slashed at Su Muqing as soon as he saw it.Mu Qing frowned, she just turned her body slightly to avoid it.Looking at the man's staggering steps, Mu Qing had a vague guess in her heart.

It seems that these people are all palace maids who have made mistakes, and the other Su Muqing must have made some agreement with them before sending them here, for example... as long as they can pretend that Su Muqing killed her by accident, then these people will be rewarded palace qualifications.

It turns out that it is very convenient for the Queen to kill someone, why didn't she think of it a long time ago.Mu Qing pulled her lips, smiled mockingly, and then looked at these women who didn't even know how to behave, a ray of calm gradually returned to her face.

In a fight with the colonel, these women are too weak for eggs to hit a rock.

When the other people saw it, they were at a loss, and then they seemed to have made some kind of decision, and they were going to join hands to besiege Mu Qing.

Mu Qing looked around, and couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief.She didn't want to do anything at first, but since she had nowhere to escape, it didn't matter if she faced her.It's just that the knife wound on my heart is still hurting, and if I'm not careful, it may be torn open again.

That kind of pain, the pain in the heart, the pain in the heart, made her hate it.

But at this moment, a woman screamed suddenly from not far away, and at the same time shouted: "Ah!! I'm going to face the saint, it's the face saint!!"

After a few words, a group of crazy women suddenly rushed out of the originally quiet rooms around them, repeating the face saint while running, with a strange look of joy on their desolate faces.The sound of footsteps was chaotic and strange, which made those "crazy women" feel nervous, and subconsciously backed away.For those really crazy people, they were more or less a little apprehensive, so they shook their heads involuntarily, put aside the matter in front of them for the time being, and quietly disappeared into the courtyard.

Mu Qing withdrew her hands, looked at those lunatics running around, her eyes turned slightly, looking for the source of that voice just now.

Someone deliberately saved her.

With a heavy weight on her shoulders, Mu Qing suddenly felt that someone was grabbing her. The always vigilant Mu Qing's eyes trembled, and she immediately grabbed the person back and fell over her shoulder, and then neatly trapped him under her body.Hearing a "wolf howl" below, he turned back to a familiar face.

"Su Muqing, you wolf-hearted woman, I saved you and you still hit me, alas...let me go, let me go!! It hurts so bad!!"

Seeing that it was Liu Huirong, Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and gradually regained her composure.With a loose arm, she got up, and she walked into the room without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.

Panting, Liu Huirong got up from the ground, patted the clothes on her body, saw that Su Muqing left her again and left, anger showed on her pretty face, then she stomped her feet fiercely, and shouted: "Su Muqing! You This ungrateful woman! She really should just die!" But after cursing, after taking a few glances at the lunatic running around, she shivered suddenly, and trotted a few steps into the room with Su Muqing.

As soon as she entered, she began to chatter around Su Muqing non-stop, asking who killed her, why she was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor, and why the queen was thrown into the cold palace, but it was quiet outside as if nothing happened.

Seeing her question, Mu Qing really didn't want to answer, because every time she recalled the scene of that day, the wound in her heart would throb unconsciously.

The promise I made with sincerity and risked my life was shattered like smoke and dust just because of someone else's words.

If this is love, then she...would rather not have it.

"Su Muqing, you are talking! Don't act like a dead person all day long!" Liu Huirong stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qing's wrist, her face was full of anxiety.

"Dead people, so what." Mu Qing stopped suddenly, and turned to look at Liu Huirong. Under the moonlight, she was peaceful and quiet, but with a touch of coldness.

Liu Huirong's eyes trembled, as if the word "dead" had pierced somewhere in her heart.She subconsciously let go, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "It's nothing..."
