slave like jade
Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Seeing An Lan's fluttering look, Liu Ma, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly continued.
"After the old slave caught her, he not only found these from her, but also these..." She took out a dozen purses and put them on the ground while speaking, and glanced at Gu Qing'er with a strange expression. .
When Gu Qing'er saw those purses, he couldn't help shivering, Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "How can a girl carry so many purses, open it and see if there is anything weird inside?"
Gu Qing'er staggered and almost fell to the ground, but Zhuzhu stretched out her hand to support her.Seeing everyone looking over, Zhuzhu hurriedly covered up and said: "Master is pregnant and can't stand for a long time, maybe I'm tired, so I'd better sit aside and rest." After finishing speaking, she helped the pale-faced Gu Qing'er to the side sit down.
Here, Liu Ma heard Mu Lingzhi's inquiry and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, this old slave has already checked each one of them, and they are all filled with realgar!"
"realgar!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but look surprised. This good-looking girl doesn't have such good-smelling spices as jasmine and osmanthus on her body. How can she carry realgar wraps on her body, and how can she carry so many at a time?How strange!
After taking a sip of tea, Gu Qing'er calmed down a lot, and said coldly, "It's just ordinary realgar and it's not poisonous arsenic, so there's nothing to make a fuss about!"
An Lan took two steps forward, picked up one of the purses and looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "This purse is exquisitely crafted, and the material used is actually the brocade that was newly tributed this year—" A pair of eyes looked at the purse sitting on the side Gu Qing'er, with a pale face, smiled and said: "Isn't this what His Highness rewarded my sister before? Why did my sister's purse end up on the little girl?"
Gu Qing'er's eyes slowly plucked her face, and said coldly: "Why, can't I reward the girl with a purse?"
An Lan laughed anxiously: "Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a little strange!" After saying this, she didn't make a sound anymore, and quietly stepped aside, hiding her body in the shadows, without any hesitation. conspicuous.
Liu Ma knelt on the ground, and when she heard Gu Qing'er's words, her old face turned red, as if there was something unspeakable in her heart that she didn't say.Mu Lingzhi stared at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "I have limited patience, don't hesitate to talk, just say it once!"
There was a sharp chill in his words, which shocked everyone present, and Liu Ma was shaking like a sieve, trembling, and said: "Returning to Your Highness, after being tortured by the old slave, what Zhuxiang said is the same as Mrs. Gu said・・・What I said... there is a discrepancy..."
"Say!"
"Zhuxiang said, said, these purses were not rewarded by Madam, but Madam asked her to throw away and destroy the evidence..."
"Bang!" Before finishing speaking, Gu Qing'er threw the teacup towards Mama Liu as soon as he raised his hand, and scolded fiercely: "You bitch, you are talking nonsense here, what about destroying evidence, it's just full of nonsense ! Your Highness, you absolutely cannot trust her!" While speaking, she rushed to Mu Lingzhi's side and cried.
Mama Liu was hit on the forehead, blood was flowing, and she couldn't help screaming: "Your Highness, this girl confessed everything I said, and there were other people present, so I dare not talk nonsense!"
Mu Lingzhi's cold gaze slowly flicked across Mama Liu's face, "Destroy the evidence?!"
There was a burst of coldness in his eyes, which made people feel hairy.Seeing that his expression was wrong, An Lan quickly said to Liu Ma: "Liu Ma, you are an old man in the house, you should know what kind of punishment is for slandering the master? Hurry up and ask His Highness and Madam to forgive you!"
She said this, but a cold light flashed in Wen Wen's eyes. Seeing Mama Liu's heart froze, she came back to her senses, but she was not as scared as before. Xiang, her neck stiffened, she courageously gritted her teeth and said desperately: "This old servant is devoted to the palace of the king and never dares to hide anything. This girl even confessed that the Wujinsao snake in this yard a month ago was actually Mrs. Gu They bought it specially from outside, and the people in Ziluo Yuan knew about it long ago, so they prepared the realgar bag by their side early to prevent snakes..."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the entire warm pavilion boiled like a catastrophe. Everyone had witnessed the danger in Ziluo Courtyard last time. A guard died, and His Royal Highness and Yu Ruyan almost died in Shekou. If the deadly Wu Jinshao was really deliberately done by people sent by Gu Qing'er, and the people in Ziluoyuan knew about it early in the morning, and prepared realgar bags for self-defense, but watched Wu Jinshao do harm and bite others to death, His heart is too vicious!
Yu Ruyan stood quietly in the backlit corner, staring at Mu Lingzhi with her cold eyes for a moment—was this result he could have predicted?
Mu Lingzhi seemed to feel her gaze, and looked at her with deep eyes. When he saw her eyes were clear and clear, his heart was shocked, and his heart was brightened——
Thinking that she almost died in Shekou, and almost died in the fire because of this incident, my heart suddenly turned cold.
Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts in this matter, but at that time, the lingering poison on his body was not cleared, so he couldn't take care of so much, and after An Lirong was punished, the matter disappeared.
His eyes stopped coldly on the terrified Zhuxiang, staring at her with gloomy eyes like a falcon, and said coldly: "Is everything Mama Liu said true or false?"
With a wave of his hand, he asked Zhuxiang to take out the cotton towel from Zhuxiang's mouth.Zhu Xiang's face was pale, bean-sized beads of sweat dripped down like torrential rain, her mouth was panting heavily, her whole body trembling like fallen leaves in the wind, she was about to speak but when she met Gu Qing'er's vicious gaze, her whole body Shrinking back, he clenched his mouth in fear and said nothing!
Mu Lingzhi smiled angrily, picked up a pouch on the ground and weighed it in his hand, it was not light, it seemed that such a weight was indeed used to avoid poisonous snakes, he no longer cared about the bamboo incense on the ground, Step by step, he walked slowly in front of Gu Qing'er, looked at her who was extremely panic-stricken, and said with a sneer, "You have already made plans, have you never thought about wearing a realgar bag for self-defense?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing'er's whole body went limp and she couldn't stand still anymore.
By saying this, he has confirmed that Wu Jinshao's matter is Gu Qing'er's conspiracy.Everyone immediately looked at Gu Qing'er with a pale face, and everyone's faces were full of gloating looks, thinking that Gu Qing'er was always arrogant and domineering in the mansion by virtue of his favor, and was pregnant with the emperor's heir. The madam is even more lawless, walking sideways in the mansion, seeing her in trouble at this time makes people feel happy.
But she is not a stupid person after all. If she is convicted, it will be a serious crime of murdering the prince and will destroy the nine clans.Biting his tongue to calm himself down, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he threw himself to Mu Lingzhi's feet and cried mournfully, "Your Highness, this concubine is really wronged, I have never done such vicious things, let alone sent Someone bought some black gold shoots. I just accidentally heard someone come to report that there was movement in the yard, and I guessed that there might be snakes and ants infested, so I thought that everyone was wearing realgar bags to protect themselves, and I didn't know about it at all, let alone What Mama Liu said destroyed the evidence."
Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word!
"Your Highness, this concubine is thinking of His Highness in her body and mind, how could she harm His Highness? All of this is just a coincidence." At this point, she was full of snot and tears, and could no longer care about the beautiful woman. Image, lying on the ground and grabbing the corner of Mu Lingzhi's clothes, talking and looking at the tall man eagerly.
Seeing Mu Lingzhi's indifferent appearance, Gu Qing'er jumped out in panic, she turned around and suddenly threw herself in front of Mama Liu, slapped her hard on the face, jumped up and scolded: "You little slave, be honest! Confess, which bitch instigated me to slander me? If you don't make it clear today, I will never forgive you!" After finishing speaking, the sharp nails scratched deep into Mama Liu's slightly round face, and all eyes were on him immediately. Blood, but in an instant, a good face had a hole in its forehead, and its face was scratched to pieces!
These realgar bags were obviously thrown away before, how could they suddenly appear here today, and Zhuxiang has been by her side for so many years, and has never been out to steal.Coupled with the fact that an ordinary old woman in the backyard dared to testify against her, it seems that someone deliberately set up a trick to expose herself.
Gu Qing'er's pair of big eyes seemed to be staring out, and the sharp eyes slashed across the faces of everyone, and finally stopped on Yu Ruyan with a calm face, and her whole body couldn't help being shocked——
Is it her?
However, I couldn't help thinking about it, but Liu Ma, who was caught bloody by her, jumped up——
Now that the words have been spoken, everyone who wants to be offended has been offended at home. Madam Liu is not willing to bear the responsibility of slandering her master. In her opinion, Mrs. Gu has been completely offended. If she is turned over, There is only one way to die.
Thinking of this, Liu Ma jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Yesterday when Zhuxiang was interrogated, I was not the only one present, there were many people in the yard. Zhuxiang admitted that Wu Jinshao was bought by Mrs. Gu and fell into the water. It's also fake, if your highness doesn't believe it, you can ask them?"
With her finger pointing, the servants standing at the door all lowered their heads in fright, and no one dared to say anything——
The current situation is too dangerous, Mama Liu seems to have a lot of evidence to win, and His Highness seems to believe her, but Mrs. Gu is pregnant with His Highness's child, if His Highness doesn't deal with her for the sake of the child, there will always be a turnaround Opportunity, if I came out to testify now, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?
Seeing that no one dared to come out to testify, Mama Liu couldn't help but panicked, she quickly pulled Zhuxiang aside and said sharply: "Damn girl, you recruited very quickly yesterday, why did you get in front of His Highness but couldn't pry her mouth open like a dead duck?" ? Don’t you cry when you don’t see the green hills?”
It is often said that 'you will not shed tears until you see the coffin'.Everyone thought that Mama Liu was too impatient to say the wrong thing, but An Lan, who stood silently beside her, curled her lips without a trace——
As early as half a month ago, she inadvertently listened to the girls in the yard chatting, saying that Zhuxiang in Ziluoyuan fell in love with Tang Qingshan, the outstanding nurse.At that time, she was thinking about how to set up a trick to get Gu Qing'er to confess to Yu Ruyan, her eyes lit up when she heard the news, and she immediately thought about it——
In less than a week, Yuan'er came to report that the fish had taken the bait. An Lan was satisfied, and asked Yuan'er to order someone to keep an eye on the two of them at all times, so as not to startle the snake, while quietly planning everything...
She relaxed completely, and Zhuxiang would confess her master in order to keep her lover.
She no longer cared about the confrontation between Liu Ma and Gu Qing'er, and looked at Yu Ruyan who had been silent all this time with gentle eyes, with a happy smile on her face!
By confessing Gu Qing'er, the matter of Ziluoyuan was completely settled, and she also gave everyone an explanation, and most importantly, cleared up the suspicion on herself, so that Yu Ruyan no longer doubted herself.
And after this incident, Gu Qing'er committed such a serious crime, even if His Highness is worried that the child in her belly will not kill her, I'm afraid it's inevitable to be neglected and grounded. As long as His Highness's protection is missing, she has plenty of ways to make her live no children......
Thinking that all the troubles in her heart could be solved after this incident, An Lan was so happy that she was about to fly to the sky, she narrowed her eyes, suppressed her excitement and waited for Gu Qing'er to be stabbed face to face by her cronies again.
Yu Ruyan had been standing quietly watching everything that happened in the house indifferently. When An Lan looked at her, seeing the pride in her eyes, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt that she really underestimated her ruthlessness!
In the end, under torture, Zhuxiang threw Gu Qing'er into Wu Jinshao to hurt others and pretended to fall into the water. Gu Qing'er fainted on the spot.
Everyone who learned the truth was stunned. Mu Lingzhi's face was covered with frost. Thinking of the danger that Yu Ruyan fell into Shekou that day, if she hadn't been concerned about the child in Gu Qing'er's stomach, she might have been divorced on the spot. out of the palace.
In the end, Gu Qing'er was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Ziluoyuan, and all the maidservants around her were kicked out of the palace. Mire, can no longer turn over!
Snowflakes fell in the sky again at some point, and Yu Ruyan was about to go back to her bungalow when she came out of Ziluo Courtyard, but An Lan stopped her on the way.
She held up a jade-bone oil umbrella and stood quietly by the side of the road. When she saw Yu Ruyan approaching, she smiled and stepped forward to cover her head with the oil umbrella, but she sideways avoided——
"Auntie An is still interested in going to the garden after the snowstorm. It seems that Auntie An is in a good mood today!" Looking at the gentle woman in front of her, Yu Ruyan distanced herself from her without a trace, "I don't want to disturb Auntie's pleasure. , leave first!"
"Sister, stay!" An Lan called her, and smiled gently, she stepped forward and said with a light smile, "I'm here to wait for my sister, why should my sister refuse people thousands of miles away!"
"What is Auntie waiting for me?" Yu Ruyan looked at her indifferently, her cold eyes looked at her coldly, her heart was filled with alarm.
"Sister, are you satisfied with today's affairs?" An Lan didn't care about her alienation, looked at her with a smile, and asked directly.
"Oh, my aunt has always been good at acting, and today's play is even more wonderful, but the servant is just a small servant, and dare not comment on the affairs of the masters, as long as the aunt is satisfied is enough!" After finishing, She didn't want to stay any longer, and walked right past her.
"Wait a minute." An Lan stopped her again, no longer the fake smile on her face before, and said with a sneer: "In order to give my sister an explanation, I have worked so hard, but why do I look at my sister and don't seem to appreciate it?"
Yu Ruyan turned around and looked at her fixedly, her eyes were as cold as water, "Thank you aunt for your kindness, if you want to give me an explanation, why not congratulate aunt for successfully eradicating dissidents, no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with aunt. A fallen horse, if the child in her womb is "accidentally" lost, the child in my aunt's belly will be the eldest son of His Highness, the eldest grandson of the Holy Majesty, this move, my aunt has indeed made a good move!"
An Lan's expression froze, her eyes darkened, and she said with a sneer, "Sister is really smart, and you can't hide anything from your eyes." After that, she stared straight into Yu Ruyan's eyes and said: The evening snow is just right, I came here specially to enjoy the snow scene of the palace with my younger sister, would my younger sister be willing to show her face?" She said while covering Yu Ruyan's head with the umbrella again.
Heh, traveling together, they came to draw her to be an ally!
For An Lan's sudden move, Yu Ruyan is not surprised. An Lirong has lifted her foot restraint, and the "truth" about Ziluoyuan has been revealed. Her grievances have been washed away, and I believe she will be re-established as a side concubine soon position, and the power of the royal family does not know who will fall to it?
An Lan worked so hard to get everything in front of her, how could she be willing to sell it to someone else?
If relying on her own strength, plus An Lirong no longer trusts her, if she fights alone, she doesn't have much chance of winning.Therefore, Yu Ruyan became the candidate for a new ally.
Yu Ruyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, the best thing about the woman in front of her is to pretend to be a snake, before she hid beside An Lirong to please her, but she shot a cold arrow behind her back and took away the power from her , and now he pulled down her former ally Gu Qing'er without a word, not only let her bear all the blame for her, but also eliminated her threat to herself, and made a complete plan for the child in her belly early , how could such an insidious and hypocritical person deserve her trust?
She took a step back to avoid the umbrella on her head again, and said coldly: "Compared to the falsehoods when it snows, I prefer the real beauty of the snow on the branches after the snow stops. Forgive me for not being able to accompany my aunt to appreciate Xue, leave!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't stop any longer and left directly.
Seeing her leave, Yuan'er came out from one side, and said angrily: "This lowly servant girl really doesn't know how to flatter her. Your Majesty is now the head of the palace, why do you need to lower your status and beg her?"
An Lan gave her a cold look, his eyes were cold and frightening.
"The one in Furongyuan has been lifted. She will definitely settle accounts with us. At this time, it is always good to have more people to help. Don't underestimate her. She is just a servant girl. Your Highness has very unusual thoughts about her."
"But the master just heard it, and this Xiaoqing doesn't seem to buy into the master's account." Yuan'er looked worriedly at the direction Yu Ruyan left and said cautiously.
"Oh, if you can't be my friend, then you can only be my enemy!" An Lan let out a breath of cold air slowly, her eyes were gloomy and indifferent——
"A life-and-death enemy, a sworn enemy!"
When Yu Ruyan walked to the door, she saw that her room was brightly lit, she was startled, did Xiaodao sneak back again?
She hurriedly opened the door and went in, and was about to call Xiaodao's name, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.
The light in the simple and narrow room was dim. Mu Lingzhi leaned against the edge of the bed and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. A pot of silver charcoal was lit in the brazier in the middle of the room at some point, making the room very warm.
Yu Ruyan stared blankly at the person who suddenly appeared in her room, and couldn't help frowning——
In such a snowy day, why didn't he stay in the warm and comfortable Yunsong Courtyard, why did he come to her place?
She walked over at a low pace, not sure if he was asleep or not. Mu Lingzhi was very angry when he got up, and she didn't dare to wake him up, but if he was allowed to sit and sleep like this, she might catch a cold.
Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan stepped forward lightly and covered him with the quilt.
The small bed was occupied by Mu Lingzhi and there was no room for her to sleep.She moved a stool and sat by the brazier, thinking about things while warming the fire.
All of a sudden, there was a sudden burst of 'beating' in the brazier, which startled her a lot. She picked up the tongs and took a look at the charcoal fire, and she was very happy!
Hey, Tong Qian is really capable, he even quietly buried several sweet potatoes in the brazier.
The roasted sweet potato exudes a tempting sweet aroma, and the sweet syrup is sizzling, which arouses all the gluttons in Yu Ruyan's stomach. swallow.
Her teeth were so hot, she touched her ears, and stretched out her hands to the next sweet potato without stopping——
'Bah! The back of her hand hurt, and the sweet potato in her hand was about to fall to the ground. Yu Ruyan was about to reach out to fish it, but she stretched out a hand from the horizontal spine and snatched the sweet potato firmly in front of her.
She looked up belatedly, and at some point Mu Lingzhi woke up and stood in front of her.He patted the sweet potato that was still hot, gave the stunned Yu Ruyan a cold look, and said coldly, "Who taught you to eat other people's food without their consent?!"
It took Yu Ruyan a long time to come back to her senses, watching someone snatch her sweet potato without blinking and giving her a wink, she said angrily in her heart, the sweet potato is mine, the brazier is mine, and the charcoal fire is your reward, but now It also belongs to me, why is it called eating other people’s food?
Mu Lingzhi seemed to hear the complaint in her heart, and replied coolly: "I buried the sweet potato, so it belongs to me!"
His hands are slender and have distinct bones, which are exceptionally good-looking, and the way he is slowly peeling the sweet potatoes is even more beautiful!
It's just that that unforgiving face is annoying!
Yu Ruyan wanted to dig another one out of the charcoal fire, but seeing that he declared the ownership of the sweet potatoes, she never dared to touch the sweet potatoes in the brazier, and could only watch someone eat with great relish.
"Your Highness is precious...how can you eat such crude food?" After a while, Yu Ruyan finally couldn't help asking curiously.
"When marching and fighting, I haven't eaten anything, except human flesh!" Mu Lingzhi threw the sweet potato rind away, and then grabbed the second one.
Yu Ruyan nodded knowingly, seeing him stretch out his hand, she quickly got up and poured water into his hand.
Seeing him eating vigorously, she felt more and more uneasy——
There was such a big incident in Ziluo Courtyard today, his favorite concubine did such a vicious thing behind his back, not only killed a Nursing Courtyard, even both of them almost died, it was really scary!
Seeing that he wanted to continue eating, Yu Ruyan salivated and flattered her and said, "Your Highness, give me a reward!"
Mu Lingzhi turned his head and glanced at her, then threw the last sweet potato to her with a wave of his hand.
She hugged the sweet potatoes and ate to her heart's content, Mu Lingzhi returned to the bed and lay down, looked coldly at her who was devouring the food, and stared at her with disgust, and suddenly said coldly: "Did you know about the Ziluoyuan? "
As soon as the movement stopped, Yu Ruyan swallowed hard the sweet potato in her mouth, and nervously turned her head to look at the expression on his face, but was caught by his gaze.
"Your Highness, servant girl... slave servant doesn't know about it!" She replied cautiously.
"Oh." Mu Lingzhi sneered coldly, his eyes turned cold, "How many truths do you have in front of this Palace?"
Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, she didn't dare to look up into his eyes, the sweet potato in her hand suddenly became tasteless.
She knew that Mu Lingzhi, who had just experienced deceit and betrayal, must be extremely sensitive. He didn't trust her very much. If he said a wrong sentence at this time, his life might be lost.
She swallowed her throat, tried to calm herself down, got up and knelt down in front of the bed, lowered her head and said in a sincere and fearful voice, "Your Highness, this servant speaks the truth and never dares to deceive His Highness."
The person on the bed didn't make a sound, Yu Ruyan crouched down and didn't dare to look up to see his expression, after a long time, she heard him calmly say: "Get up!"
Listening to his tone, she seemed to feel relieved a lot, Yu Ruyan got up and looked at him carefully, only to see him lying on his side frowning, seeing loneliness for the first time in his expression.
Yu Ruyan boldly persuaded: "If Your Highness is reluctant to leave Mrs. Gu, you can forgive her this time. After all, she is pregnant now, which is unusual!"
Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes to look at him in disbelief, his cold eyes were hidden in the shadows, and he said coldly: "She designed to harm you and almost killed you, yet you don't hate her?" ?”
Yu Ruyan lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "I hate everyone who hurt me, but...she is pregnant now, if His Highness leaves her in the Ziluo Courtyard and ignores her, I'm afraid, her womb will My child won't last much longer!"
She told Mu Lingzhi bluntly that if Gu Qing'er was left alone like this, the child in her stomach would be lost immediately!
Her frankness made Mu Lingzhi's whole body tremble. There are many shady things in the back house, and he also knows that Gu Qing'er is in an extraordinary period. Treating her like this may really hurt...
But when he thought of her vicious thoughts, Mu Lingzhi's soft heart hardened again, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he remained silent.
Yu Ruyan understood the hesitation in his heart with just one glance, and said with a calm smile: "Although what happened with Wu Jinshao was dangerous, luckily His Highness and servants are all safe and sound. Besides, His Highness doesn't necessarily want to spare her punishment , as long as you secretly send a few more trustworthy servants to take good care of her."
Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes and took a deep look at the smiling woman in front of him. Thinking of her past, he couldn't help being surprised——
In his impression, although she is not a big evil person, she is definitely not a cowardly person who is weak and easy to bully, and she even has some grudges, otherwise she would not have found Mu Ziyue's scheme in the prince's mansion and set up a trap instead. Give her a rake!
Gu Qing'er has been making things difficult for her all the time. She fined her family law as soon as she entered the mansion, and later lured Wu Jinshao to kill her. Not long ago, she was kicked out of the mansion when she was seriously ill. Did she not care about all of this? ?
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there is no need to doubt my sincerity, I just think that she is someone His Highness liked, and she is still pregnant with your child..."
"Do you know what liking is?" Mu Lingzhi interrupted her and asked abruptly.
Seeing his suddenly clear eyes, Yu Ruyan became flustered, her little heart jumped a few times, and asked calmly: "Don't your highness like the masters and empresses?" If you don't like it, why bother Marry them into the door, and now come to ask me what it means to like! ?
Mu Lingzhi suddenly stopped talking, his eyes darkened, and a chill covered his body.Seeing his sudden face change, Yu Ruyan trembled in fright——
"Your Highness..."
Just when he was about to ask for mercy, Mu Lingzhi spoke suddenly, his voice was low and deep as if coming from the distant sky, his eyes were dark, and he said slowly: "I left the palace to build a mansion, and after half a year after the mansion was built, I was ordered to go to the border to defend against the enemy, It takes a year to go there. When I come back from the border, there are An Shi and the others in the mansion... The royal family does not talk about love, only about interests. Don’t you know that you have worked in the palace? I and them— — only obligations!"
Yu Ruyan couldn't help being shocked when she heard the words, and blurted out: "That's why His Highness cherishes Miss Mu so much, right?"
Mu Lingzhi looked back at her and said word by word: "I grew up together with Xiaoyue, Huangdi Chenzhi, and Yitai. Friendship is there, and I cherish this relationship very much!"
His eyes became empty and lifeless. If it wasn't for the accident ten years ago, Xiaoyue must have become a queen long ago, and she would not be what she is today. After all, he has always felt guilty for her in his heart, so he only once The next time you tolerate her to accommodate her, it's like you're repaying the sin you owed to that person...
There was a trace of sadness in her heart, she put away the disappointment in her eyes and grinned, and said calmly: "That's why His Highness tolerated everything she did." Even if she sold me into Qin Xianglou, even if she designed to harm me!
"So, to like is to tolerate!" Her voice also lowered, as if she was speaking to herself or him.
"No!" Mu Lingzhi denied it. He looked at her fixedly and said seriously: "In my opinion, liking someone, loving someone means eating with her, chatting with her, and loving her every day. When I opened my eyes, I saw her for the first time, and I saw her for the last time before going to bed, and sharing the same bed and pillow with her, I felt at ease, at ease, and at ease!"
Suddenly, two red clouds flew up on her face. Mu Lingzhi's words were like poison, which resonated in her heart and could never be forgotten.
The love in his heart is exactly the same as hers!
She looked at the sweet potato rinds on the ground, then at the bedding on the bed, and then at the situation of the two of them, she was startled——
Why does he seem to be talking about the two of them the same!
The thought was too scary, and it made her palpitate too much.
The room became silent in an instant, the charcoal fire in the brazier made a few slight 'crackling' sounds, and there was a little embarrassment in the air.In order to break such a weird atmosphere, she lowered her head in panic and said in a muffled voice: "Since Your Highness wants to tolerate Miss Mu, then Miss Mu owes the servant, and the servant will ask His Highness to pay it back?!"
"How do you want me to compensate you?" Ben said casually, but Mu Lingzhi agreed without hesitation.
Yu Ruyan looked up at the serious-looking man in front of her in disbelief, she was stunned for a while before she realized, she turned her head to think for a while and murmured: "I want to ask His Highness to give me the right to leave the house freely, I think... ·I want to go out to see a friend."
"Who do you want to see?" He stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"A little sister who came here as a dowry with me is also... the one who rescued me from Qin Xianglou!"
(End of this chapter)
Seeing An Lan's fluttering look, Liu Ma, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly continued.
"After the old slave caught her, he not only found these from her, but also these..." She took out a dozen purses and put them on the ground while speaking, and glanced at Gu Qing'er with a strange expression. .
When Gu Qing'er saw those purses, he couldn't help shivering, Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "How can a girl carry so many purses, open it and see if there is anything weird inside?"
Gu Qing'er staggered and almost fell to the ground, but Zhuzhu stretched out her hand to support her.Seeing everyone looking over, Zhuzhu hurriedly covered up and said: "Master is pregnant and can't stand for a long time, maybe I'm tired, so I'd better sit aside and rest." After finishing speaking, she helped the pale-faced Gu Qing'er to the side sit down.
Here, Liu Ma heard Mu Lingzhi's inquiry and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, this old slave has already checked each one of them, and they are all filled with realgar!"
"realgar!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but look surprised. This good-looking girl doesn't have such good-smelling spices as jasmine and osmanthus on her body. How can she carry realgar wraps on her body, and how can she carry so many at a time?How strange!
After taking a sip of tea, Gu Qing'er calmed down a lot, and said coldly, "It's just ordinary realgar and it's not poisonous arsenic, so there's nothing to make a fuss about!"
An Lan took two steps forward, picked up one of the purses and looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "This purse is exquisitely crafted, and the material used is actually the brocade that was newly tributed this year—" A pair of eyes looked at the purse sitting on the side Gu Qing'er, with a pale face, smiled and said: "Isn't this what His Highness rewarded my sister before? Why did my sister's purse end up on the little girl?"
Gu Qing'er's eyes slowly plucked her face, and said coldly: "Why, can't I reward the girl with a purse?"
An Lan laughed anxiously: "Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a little strange!" After saying this, she didn't make a sound anymore, and quietly stepped aside, hiding her body in the shadows, without any hesitation. conspicuous.
Liu Ma knelt on the ground, and when she heard Gu Qing'er's words, her old face turned red, as if there was something unspeakable in her heart that she didn't say.Mu Lingzhi stared at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "I have limited patience, don't hesitate to talk, just say it once!"
There was a sharp chill in his words, which shocked everyone present, and Liu Ma was shaking like a sieve, trembling, and said: "Returning to Your Highness, after being tortured by the old slave, what Zhuxiang said is the same as Mrs. Gu said・・・What I said... there is a discrepancy..."
"Say!"
"Zhuxiang said, said, these purses were not rewarded by Madam, but Madam asked her to throw away and destroy the evidence..."
"Bang!" Before finishing speaking, Gu Qing'er threw the teacup towards Mama Liu as soon as he raised his hand, and scolded fiercely: "You bitch, you are talking nonsense here, what about destroying evidence, it's just full of nonsense ! Your Highness, you absolutely cannot trust her!" While speaking, she rushed to Mu Lingzhi's side and cried.
Mama Liu was hit on the forehead, blood was flowing, and she couldn't help screaming: "Your Highness, this girl confessed everything I said, and there were other people present, so I dare not talk nonsense!"
Mu Lingzhi's cold gaze slowly flicked across Mama Liu's face, "Destroy the evidence?!"
There was a burst of coldness in his eyes, which made people feel hairy.Seeing that his expression was wrong, An Lan quickly said to Liu Ma: "Liu Ma, you are an old man in the house, you should know what kind of punishment is for slandering the master? Hurry up and ask His Highness and Madam to forgive you!"
She said this, but a cold light flashed in Wen Wen's eyes. Seeing Mama Liu's heart froze, she came back to her senses, but she was not as scared as before. Xiang, her neck stiffened, she courageously gritted her teeth and said desperately: "This old servant is devoted to the palace of the king and never dares to hide anything. This girl even confessed that the Wujinsao snake in this yard a month ago was actually Mrs. Gu They bought it specially from outside, and the people in Ziluo Yuan knew about it long ago, so they prepared the realgar bag by their side early to prevent snakes..."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the entire warm pavilion boiled like a catastrophe. Everyone had witnessed the danger in Ziluo Courtyard last time. A guard died, and His Royal Highness and Yu Ruyan almost died in Shekou. If the deadly Wu Jinshao was really deliberately done by people sent by Gu Qing'er, and the people in Ziluoyuan knew about it early in the morning, and prepared realgar bags for self-defense, but watched Wu Jinshao do harm and bite others to death, His heart is too vicious!
Yu Ruyan stood quietly in the backlit corner, staring at Mu Lingzhi with her cold eyes for a moment—was this result he could have predicted?
Mu Lingzhi seemed to feel her gaze, and looked at her with deep eyes. When he saw her eyes were clear and clear, his heart was shocked, and his heart was brightened——
Thinking that she almost died in Shekou, and almost died in the fire because of this incident, my heart suddenly turned cold.
Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts in this matter, but at that time, the lingering poison on his body was not cleared, so he couldn't take care of so much, and after An Lirong was punished, the matter disappeared.
His eyes stopped coldly on the terrified Zhuxiang, staring at her with gloomy eyes like a falcon, and said coldly: "Is everything Mama Liu said true or false?"
With a wave of his hand, he asked Zhuxiang to take out the cotton towel from Zhuxiang's mouth.Zhu Xiang's face was pale, bean-sized beads of sweat dripped down like torrential rain, her mouth was panting heavily, her whole body trembling like fallen leaves in the wind, she was about to speak but when she met Gu Qing'er's vicious gaze, her whole body Shrinking back, he clenched his mouth in fear and said nothing!
Mu Lingzhi smiled angrily, picked up a pouch on the ground and weighed it in his hand, it was not light, it seemed that such a weight was indeed used to avoid poisonous snakes, he no longer cared about the bamboo incense on the ground, Step by step, he walked slowly in front of Gu Qing'er, looked at her who was extremely panic-stricken, and said with a sneer, "You have already made plans, have you never thought about wearing a realgar bag for self-defense?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing'er's whole body went limp and she couldn't stand still anymore.
By saying this, he has confirmed that Wu Jinshao's matter is Gu Qing'er's conspiracy.Everyone immediately looked at Gu Qing'er with a pale face, and everyone's faces were full of gloating looks, thinking that Gu Qing'er was always arrogant and domineering in the mansion by virtue of his favor, and was pregnant with the emperor's heir. The madam is even more lawless, walking sideways in the mansion, seeing her in trouble at this time makes people feel happy.
But she is not a stupid person after all. If she is convicted, it will be a serious crime of murdering the prince and will destroy the nine clans.Biting his tongue to calm himself down, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he threw himself to Mu Lingzhi's feet and cried mournfully, "Your Highness, this concubine is really wronged, I have never done such vicious things, let alone sent Someone bought some black gold shoots. I just accidentally heard someone come to report that there was movement in the yard, and I guessed that there might be snakes and ants infested, so I thought that everyone was wearing realgar bags to protect themselves, and I didn't know about it at all, let alone What Mama Liu said destroyed the evidence."
Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word!
"Your Highness, this concubine is thinking of His Highness in her body and mind, how could she harm His Highness? All of this is just a coincidence." At this point, she was full of snot and tears, and could no longer care about the beautiful woman. Image, lying on the ground and grabbing the corner of Mu Lingzhi's clothes, talking and looking at the tall man eagerly.
Seeing Mu Lingzhi's indifferent appearance, Gu Qing'er jumped out in panic, she turned around and suddenly threw herself in front of Mama Liu, slapped her hard on the face, jumped up and scolded: "You little slave, be honest! Confess, which bitch instigated me to slander me? If you don't make it clear today, I will never forgive you!" After finishing speaking, the sharp nails scratched deep into Mama Liu's slightly round face, and all eyes were on him immediately. Blood, but in an instant, a good face had a hole in its forehead, and its face was scratched to pieces!
These realgar bags were obviously thrown away before, how could they suddenly appear here today, and Zhuxiang has been by her side for so many years, and has never been out to steal.Coupled with the fact that an ordinary old woman in the backyard dared to testify against her, it seems that someone deliberately set up a trick to expose herself.
Gu Qing'er's pair of big eyes seemed to be staring out, and the sharp eyes slashed across the faces of everyone, and finally stopped on Yu Ruyan with a calm face, and her whole body couldn't help being shocked——
Is it her?
However, I couldn't help thinking about it, but Liu Ma, who was caught bloody by her, jumped up——
Now that the words have been spoken, everyone who wants to be offended has been offended at home. Madam Liu is not willing to bear the responsibility of slandering her master. In her opinion, Mrs. Gu has been completely offended. If she is turned over, There is only one way to die.
Thinking of this, Liu Ma jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Yesterday when Zhuxiang was interrogated, I was not the only one present, there were many people in the yard. Zhuxiang admitted that Wu Jinshao was bought by Mrs. Gu and fell into the water. It's also fake, if your highness doesn't believe it, you can ask them?"
With her finger pointing, the servants standing at the door all lowered their heads in fright, and no one dared to say anything——
The current situation is too dangerous, Mama Liu seems to have a lot of evidence to win, and His Highness seems to believe her, but Mrs. Gu is pregnant with His Highness's child, if His Highness doesn't deal with her for the sake of the child, there will always be a turnaround Opportunity, if I came out to testify now, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?
Seeing that no one dared to come out to testify, Mama Liu couldn't help but panicked, she quickly pulled Zhuxiang aside and said sharply: "Damn girl, you recruited very quickly yesterday, why did you get in front of His Highness but couldn't pry her mouth open like a dead duck?" ? Don’t you cry when you don’t see the green hills?”
It is often said that 'you will not shed tears until you see the coffin'.Everyone thought that Mama Liu was too impatient to say the wrong thing, but An Lan, who stood silently beside her, curled her lips without a trace——
As early as half a month ago, she inadvertently listened to the girls in the yard chatting, saying that Zhuxiang in Ziluoyuan fell in love with Tang Qingshan, the outstanding nurse.At that time, she was thinking about how to set up a trick to get Gu Qing'er to confess to Yu Ruyan, her eyes lit up when she heard the news, and she immediately thought about it——
In less than a week, Yuan'er came to report that the fish had taken the bait. An Lan was satisfied, and asked Yuan'er to order someone to keep an eye on the two of them at all times, so as not to startle the snake, while quietly planning everything...
She relaxed completely, and Zhuxiang would confess her master in order to keep her lover.
She no longer cared about the confrontation between Liu Ma and Gu Qing'er, and looked at Yu Ruyan who had been silent all this time with gentle eyes, with a happy smile on her face!
By confessing Gu Qing'er, the matter of Ziluoyuan was completely settled, and she also gave everyone an explanation, and most importantly, cleared up the suspicion on herself, so that Yu Ruyan no longer doubted herself.
And after this incident, Gu Qing'er committed such a serious crime, even if His Highness is worried that the child in her belly will not kill her, I'm afraid it's inevitable to be neglected and grounded. As long as His Highness's protection is missing, she has plenty of ways to make her live no children......
Thinking that all the troubles in her heart could be solved after this incident, An Lan was so happy that she was about to fly to the sky, she narrowed her eyes, suppressed her excitement and waited for Gu Qing'er to be stabbed face to face by her cronies again.
Yu Ruyan had been standing quietly watching everything that happened in the house indifferently. When An Lan looked at her, seeing the pride in her eyes, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt that she really underestimated her ruthlessness!
In the end, under torture, Zhuxiang threw Gu Qing'er into Wu Jinshao to hurt others and pretended to fall into the water. Gu Qing'er fainted on the spot.
Everyone who learned the truth was stunned. Mu Lingzhi's face was covered with frost. Thinking of the danger that Yu Ruyan fell into Shekou that day, if she hadn't been concerned about the child in Gu Qing'er's stomach, she might have been divorced on the spot. out of the palace.
In the end, Gu Qing'er was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Ziluoyuan, and all the maidservants around her were kicked out of the palace. Mire, can no longer turn over!
Snowflakes fell in the sky again at some point, and Yu Ruyan was about to go back to her bungalow when she came out of Ziluo Courtyard, but An Lan stopped her on the way.
She held up a jade-bone oil umbrella and stood quietly by the side of the road. When she saw Yu Ruyan approaching, she smiled and stepped forward to cover her head with the oil umbrella, but she sideways avoided——
"Auntie An is still interested in going to the garden after the snowstorm. It seems that Auntie An is in a good mood today!" Looking at the gentle woman in front of her, Yu Ruyan distanced herself from her without a trace, "I don't want to disturb Auntie's pleasure. , leave first!"
"Sister, stay!" An Lan called her, and smiled gently, she stepped forward and said with a light smile, "I'm here to wait for my sister, why should my sister refuse people thousands of miles away!"
"What is Auntie waiting for me?" Yu Ruyan looked at her indifferently, her cold eyes looked at her coldly, her heart was filled with alarm.
"Sister, are you satisfied with today's affairs?" An Lan didn't care about her alienation, looked at her with a smile, and asked directly.
"Oh, my aunt has always been good at acting, and today's play is even more wonderful, but the servant is just a small servant, and dare not comment on the affairs of the masters, as long as the aunt is satisfied is enough!" After finishing, She didn't want to stay any longer, and walked right past her.
"Wait a minute." An Lan stopped her again, no longer the fake smile on her face before, and said with a sneer: "In order to give my sister an explanation, I have worked so hard, but why do I look at my sister and don't seem to appreciate it?"
Yu Ruyan turned around and looked at her fixedly, her eyes were as cold as water, "Thank you aunt for your kindness, if you want to give me an explanation, why not congratulate aunt for successfully eradicating dissidents, no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with aunt. A fallen horse, if the child in her womb is "accidentally" lost, the child in my aunt's belly will be the eldest son of His Highness, the eldest grandson of the Holy Majesty, this move, my aunt has indeed made a good move!"
An Lan's expression froze, her eyes darkened, and she said with a sneer, "Sister is really smart, and you can't hide anything from your eyes." After that, she stared straight into Yu Ruyan's eyes and said: The evening snow is just right, I came here specially to enjoy the snow scene of the palace with my younger sister, would my younger sister be willing to show her face?" She said while covering Yu Ruyan's head with the umbrella again.
Heh, traveling together, they came to draw her to be an ally!
For An Lan's sudden move, Yu Ruyan is not surprised. An Lirong has lifted her foot restraint, and the "truth" about Ziluoyuan has been revealed. Her grievances have been washed away, and I believe she will be re-established as a side concubine soon position, and the power of the royal family does not know who will fall to it?
An Lan worked so hard to get everything in front of her, how could she be willing to sell it to someone else?
If relying on her own strength, plus An Lirong no longer trusts her, if she fights alone, she doesn't have much chance of winning.Therefore, Yu Ruyan became the candidate for a new ally.
Yu Ruyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, the best thing about the woman in front of her is to pretend to be a snake, before she hid beside An Lirong to please her, but she shot a cold arrow behind her back and took away the power from her , and now he pulled down her former ally Gu Qing'er without a word, not only let her bear all the blame for her, but also eliminated her threat to herself, and made a complete plan for the child in her belly early , how could such an insidious and hypocritical person deserve her trust?
She took a step back to avoid the umbrella on her head again, and said coldly: "Compared to the falsehoods when it snows, I prefer the real beauty of the snow on the branches after the snow stops. Forgive me for not being able to accompany my aunt to appreciate Xue, leave!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't stop any longer and left directly.
Seeing her leave, Yuan'er came out from one side, and said angrily: "This lowly servant girl really doesn't know how to flatter her. Your Majesty is now the head of the palace, why do you need to lower your status and beg her?"
An Lan gave her a cold look, his eyes were cold and frightening.
"The one in Furongyuan has been lifted. She will definitely settle accounts with us. At this time, it is always good to have more people to help. Don't underestimate her. She is just a servant girl. Your Highness has very unusual thoughts about her."
"But the master just heard it, and this Xiaoqing doesn't seem to buy into the master's account." Yuan'er looked worriedly at the direction Yu Ruyan left and said cautiously.
"Oh, if you can't be my friend, then you can only be my enemy!" An Lan let out a breath of cold air slowly, her eyes were gloomy and indifferent——
"A life-and-death enemy, a sworn enemy!"
When Yu Ruyan walked to the door, she saw that her room was brightly lit, she was startled, did Xiaodao sneak back again?
She hurriedly opened the door and went in, and was about to call Xiaodao's name, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.
The light in the simple and narrow room was dim. Mu Lingzhi leaned against the edge of the bed and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. A pot of silver charcoal was lit in the brazier in the middle of the room at some point, making the room very warm.
Yu Ruyan stared blankly at the person who suddenly appeared in her room, and couldn't help frowning——
In such a snowy day, why didn't he stay in the warm and comfortable Yunsong Courtyard, why did he come to her place?
She walked over at a low pace, not sure if he was asleep or not. Mu Lingzhi was very angry when he got up, and she didn't dare to wake him up, but if he was allowed to sit and sleep like this, she might catch a cold.
Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan stepped forward lightly and covered him with the quilt.
The small bed was occupied by Mu Lingzhi and there was no room for her to sleep.She moved a stool and sat by the brazier, thinking about things while warming the fire.
All of a sudden, there was a sudden burst of 'beating' in the brazier, which startled her a lot. She picked up the tongs and took a look at the charcoal fire, and she was very happy!
Hey, Tong Qian is really capable, he even quietly buried several sweet potatoes in the brazier.
The roasted sweet potato exudes a tempting sweet aroma, and the sweet syrup is sizzling, which arouses all the gluttons in Yu Ruyan's stomach. swallow.
Her teeth were so hot, she touched her ears, and stretched out her hands to the next sweet potato without stopping——
'Bah! The back of her hand hurt, and the sweet potato in her hand was about to fall to the ground. Yu Ruyan was about to reach out to fish it, but she stretched out a hand from the horizontal spine and snatched the sweet potato firmly in front of her.
She looked up belatedly, and at some point Mu Lingzhi woke up and stood in front of her.He patted the sweet potato that was still hot, gave the stunned Yu Ruyan a cold look, and said coldly, "Who taught you to eat other people's food without their consent?!"
It took Yu Ruyan a long time to come back to her senses, watching someone snatch her sweet potato without blinking and giving her a wink, she said angrily in her heart, the sweet potato is mine, the brazier is mine, and the charcoal fire is your reward, but now It also belongs to me, why is it called eating other people’s food?
Mu Lingzhi seemed to hear the complaint in her heart, and replied coolly: "I buried the sweet potato, so it belongs to me!"
His hands are slender and have distinct bones, which are exceptionally good-looking, and the way he is slowly peeling the sweet potatoes is even more beautiful!
It's just that that unforgiving face is annoying!
Yu Ruyan wanted to dig another one out of the charcoal fire, but seeing that he declared the ownership of the sweet potatoes, she never dared to touch the sweet potatoes in the brazier, and could only watch someone eat with great relish.
"Your Highness is precious...how can you eat such crude food?" After a while, Yu Ruyan finally couldn't help asking curiously.
"When marching and fighting, I haven't eaten anything, except human flesh!" Mu Lingzhi threw the sweet potato rind away, and then grabbed the second one.
Yu Ruyan nodded knowingly, seeing him stretch out his hand, she quickly got up and poured water into his hand.
Seeing him eating vigorously, she felt more and more uneasy——
There was such a big incident in Ziluo Courtyard today, his favorite concubine did such a vicious thing behind his back, not only killed a Nursing Courtyard, even both of them almost died, it was really scary!
Seeing that he wanted to continue eating, Yu Ruyan salivated and flattered her and said, "Your Highness, give me a reward!"
Mu Lingzhi turned his head and glanced at her, then threw the last sweet potato to her with a wave of his hand.
She hugged the sweet potatoes and ate to her heart's content, Mu Lingzhi returned to the bed and lay down, looked coldly at her who was devouring the food, and stared at her with disgust, and suddenly said coldly: "Did you know about the Ziluoyuan? "
As soon as the movement stopped, Yu Ruyan swallowed hard the sweet potato in her mouth, and nervously turned her head to look at the expression on his face, but was caught by his gaze.
"Your Highness, servant girl... slave servant doesn't know about it!" She replied cautiously.
"Oh." Mu Lingzhi sneered coldly, his eyes turned cold, "How many truths do you have in front of this Palace?"
Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, she didn't dare to look up into his eyes, the sweet potato in her hand suddenly became tasteless.
She knew that Mu Lingzhi, who had just experienced deceit and betrayal, must be extremely sensitive. He didn't trust her very much. If he said a wrong sentence at this time, his life might be lost.
She swallowed her throat, tried to calm herself down, got up and knelt down in front of the bed, lowered her head and said in a sincere and fearful voice, "Your Highness, this servant speaks the truth and never dares to deceive His Highness."
The person on the bed didn't make a sound, Yu Ruyan crouched down and didn't dare to look up to see his expression, after a long time, she heard him calmly say: "Get up!"
Listening to his tone, she seemed to feel relieved a lot, Yu Ruyan got up and looked at him carefully, only to see him lying on his side frowning, seeing loneliness for the first time in his expression.
Yu Ruyan boldly persuaded: "If Your Highness is reluctant to leave Mrs. Gu, you can forgive her this time. After all, she is pregnant now, which is unusual!"
Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes to look at him in disbelief, his cold eyes were hidden in the shadows, and he said coldly: "She designed to harm you and almost killed you, yet you don't hate her?" ?”
Yu Ruyan lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "I hate everyone who hurt me, but...she is pregnant now, if His Highness leaves her in the Ziluo Courtyard and ignores her, I'm afraid, her womb will My child won't last much longer!"
She told Mu Lingzhi bluntly that if Gu Qing'er was left alone like this, the child in her stomach would be lost immediately!
Her frankness made Mu Lingzhi's whole body tremble. There are many shady things in the back house, and he also knows that Gu Qing'er is in an extraordinary period. Treating her like this may really hurt...
But when he thought of her vicious thoughts, Mu Lingzhi's soft heart hardened again, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he remained silent.
Yu Ruyan understood the hesitation in his heart with just one glance, and said with a calm smile: "Although what happened with Wu Jinshao was dangerous, luckily His Highness and servants are all safe and sound. Besides, His Highness doesn't necessarily want to spare her punishment , as long as you secretly send a few more trustworthy servants to take good care of her."
Mu Lingzhi raised his eyes and took a deep look at the smiling woman in front of him. Thinking of her past, he couldn't help being surprised——
In his impression, although she is not a big evil person, she is definitely not a cowardly person who is weak and easy to bully, and she even has some grudges, otherwise she would not have found Mu Ziyue's scheme in the prince's mansion and set up a trap instead. Give her a rake!
Gu Qing'er has been making things difficult for her all the time. She fined her family law as soon as she entered the mansion, and later lured Wu Jinshao to kill her. Not long ago, she was kicked out of the mansion when she was seriously ill. Did she not care about all of this? ?
Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there is no need to doubt my sincerity, I just think that she is someone His Highness liked, and she is still pregnant with your child..."
"Do you know what liking is?" Mu Lingzhi interrupted her and asked abruptly.
Seeing his suddenly clear eyes, Yu Ruyan became flustered, her little heart jumped a few times, and asked calmly: "Don't your highness like the masters and empresses?" If you don't like it, why bother Marry them into the door, and now come to ask me what it means to like! ?
Mu Lingzhi suddenly stopped talking, his eyes darkened, and a chill covered his body.Seeing his sudden face change, Yu Ruyan trembled in fright——
"Your Highness..."
Just when he was about to ask for mercy, Mu Lingzhi spoke suddenly, his voice was low and deep as if coming from the distant sky, his eyes were dark, and he said slowly: "I left the palace to build a mansion, and after half a year after the mansion was built, I was ordered to go to the border to defend against the enemy, It takes a year to go there. When I come back from the border, there are An Shi and the others in the mansion... The royal family does not talk about love, only about interests. Don’t you know that you have worked in the palace? I and them— — only obligations!"
Yu Ruyan couldn't help being shocked when she heard the words, and blurted out: "That's why His Highness cherishes Miss Mu so much, right?"
Mu Lingzhi looked back at her and said word by word: "I grew up together with Xiaoyue, Huangdi Chenzhi, and Yitai. Friendship is there, and I cherish this relationship very much!"
His eyes became empty and lifeless. If it wasn't for the accident ten years ago, Xiaoyue must have become a queen long ago, and she would not be what she is today. After all, he has always felt guilty for her in his heart, so he only once The next time you tolerate her to accommodate her, it's like you're repaying the sin you owed to that person...
There was a trace of sadness in her heart, she put away the disappointment in her eyes and grinned, and said calmly: "That's why His Highness tolerated everything she did." Even if she sold me into Qin Xianglou, even if she designed to harm me!
"So, to like is to tolerate!" Her voice also lowered, as if she was speaking to herself or him.
"No!" Mu Lingzhi denied it. He looked at her fixedly and said seriously: "In my opinion, liking someone, loving someone means eating with her, chatting with her, and loving her every day. When I opened my eyes, I saw her for the first time, and I saw her for the last time before going to bed, and sharing the same bed and pillow with her, I felt at ease, at ease, and at ease!"
Suddenly, two red clouds flew up on her face. Mu Lingzhi's words were like poison, which resonated in her heart and could never be forgotten.
The love in his heart is exactly the same as hers!
She looked at the sweet potato rinds on the ground, then at the bedding on the bed, and then at the situation of the two of them, she was startled——
Why does he seem to be talking about the two of them the same!
The thought was too scary, and it made her palpitate too much.
The room became silent in an instant, the charcoal fire in the brazier made a few slight 'crackling' sounds, and there was a little embarrassment in the air.In order to break such a weird atmosphere, she lowered her head in panic and said in a muffled voice: "Since Your Highness wants to tolerate Miss Mu, then Miss Mu owes the servant, and the servant will ask His Highness to pay it back?!"
"How do you want me to compensate you?" Ben said casually, but Mu Lingzhi agreed without hesitation.
Yu Ruyan looked up at the serious-looking man in front of her in disbelief, she was stunned for a while before she realized, she turned her head to think for a while and murmured: "I want to ask His Highness to give me the right to leave the house freely, I think... ·I want to go out to see a friend."
"Who do you want to see?" He stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"A little sister who came here as a dowry with me is also... the one who rescued me from Qin Xianglou!"
