Medical concubine in power

Chapter 290 The first confrontation
In this season, the scenery in the palace has undergone some changes.The flowers that once bloomed on the branches have now fallen into mud and become dust. On the contrary, the maple tree planted in a corner of the imperial garden has some bright red colors.Although it is not as rich and colorful as in late autumn, it has its own characteristics.

The branches of these maple trees are luxuriant, the branches are intertwined, and the maple leaves make a slight sound when they touch each other.

Xie Muyan stood under the tree with her eyes closed, her heart became more and more peaceful.She was about to turn around and leave when she heard a strange voice suddenly behind her.

"Surely this is the empress, right? The concubine greets the empress." Obviously they had never seen each other before, but this voice spoke in an extremely affirmative tone.

Hearing this, Xie Muyan frowned involuntarily, turned around, and saw a woman who looked about 25 or [-] years old standing behind her, looking at her with a smile on her face. It looked as soft as her voice.But in this smile, she always felt that there seemed to be something else in it.

"You are Concubine Zhang, you have heard your name for a long time."

Although she felt a little unhappy because of Zhang Duoya's sudden appearance, Xie Muyan still had a smile on her face that even she felt was hypocritical.She pretended to take two steps forward enthusiastically, but her eyes were sizing up Zhang Duoya's face carefully.

This was the first time she saw Zhang Duoya, but relying on Zhang Duoya's deep facial features and an appearance that was at least [-]% similar to Zhang Buli, she still recognized her identity at a glance.

When Xie Muyan was looking at Zhang Duoya, Zhang Duoya was also constantly looking at her.After seeing her beautiful and young face, a look of jealousy flashed across her face.She thinks she is beautiful and well maintained, but after all she is ten years older than Xie Muyan.The age gap immediately created a gap between the two of them.

"The Queen's empress is ridiculous. Where did the concubine get her fame? In the capital, your name is known to everyone, everyone knows it." Zhang Duoya gave Xie Muyan a little blessing Fushen, it's just that the tone of his speech seemed to be praising, but Xie Muyan could hear more sarcasm.

She knew that the people in the capital would completely change their views on a person because of one incident.After Mu Jiayu came to the throne, her status in the eyes of the people was better than before.However, since the news of her "poisoning" Zhang Buli spread, her reputation once again plummeted.

And all of this depends on the woman in front of her who doesn't look like a Central Plains person, and her son.

Thinking of this, Xie Muyan couldn't help clenching her hands hanging on both sides of her body tightly.She took a few steps forward, trying to pass Zhang Duoya, but her gaze was immediately attracted by another figure.

Although a month had passed, this face was still fresh in her memory.This is the court lady who poisoned Xie Muxin back then, but still bit back in front of Mu Jiayu!Unexpectedly, this court lady who was supposed to be punished was secretly protected by King Li!

Xie Muyan's pupils contracted slightly, and her already cold heart was even colder at this moment.She lowered her head, tried not to let herself look at the annoying two people again, and left here quickly.

However, just after she took a few steps, there were waves of footsteps behind her.Her heart was made a little irritated by the chaotic and hurried footsteps, and she wanted the people behind her to stop following her.However, at the moment she just turned her head, Zhang Duoya's voice rang in her ears again.

"Perhaps, empress, you know that your reputation in the capital is not very good. Then please, don't do anything to our mother and son. We, mother and son, came here all the way to find the emperor. It's not easy. What's more, you poisoned Li'er in this way, and in the end it was not you who diagnosed his pulse and searched for medicinal ingredients. You will also harm yourself if you harm others."

When Zhang Duoya was speaking, Xie Muyan had been standing by the pond in the imperial garden looking at the ruined lotus leaves.She didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Duoya at first, but what Zhang Duoya said after that immediately aroused her sadness and anger of being misunderstood and wronged.She turned around abruptly and approached Zhang Duoya's body step by step. It took a lot of effort to restrain her urge to beat her up.

She glared at Zhang Duoya fiercely, her lips trembled slightly, and was about to speak, but Zhang Duoya's mocking eyes suddenly moved away from her, and turned to look in another direction, with a lovely and pitiful look. appearance.

Seeing her sudden change of expression, Xie Muyan secretly said badly, but it was too late.

Zhang Duoya suddenly made a look of unsteady standing, and after shaking a few times by the pond, she fell into the pond beside her, splashing a large amount of water, which wet Xie Muyan's skirt .

At the same time, a bright yellow figure also jumped into the pond and picked up Zhang Duoya who was struggling in the water.

Seeing this familiar figure that she hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Muyan's eyes were slightly moist, but she quickly forced back the tears and looked at him coldly.

The matter had already happened, Xie Muyan, who was still a little flustered, calmed down at this moment, and smiled at the wet two in front of her.

"Xie Muyan, why do you..."

Mu Jiayu hugged Zhang Duoya, who had been trembling all the time, into his arms, and looked at Xie Muyan with a strange look in his eyes.What he didn't see was that Zhang Duoya, who was snuggling up against his chest, had a smug smile on his face at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the empress did not deliberately push the concubine down. It's just that the concubine was careless. Please don't blame the empress, Your Majesty."

Zhang Duoya saw the right moment and opened her mouth weakly.But the more she was like this, the more anger Mu Jiayu felt, "Xie Muyan, you poisoned Li'er last month. Are you going to kill Li'er's mother now? You should know, How does it feel to lose your mother at such a young age?"

The hurtful words came out of Mu Jiayu's mouth, making Xie Muyan's heart stagnate.He hit a sore spot in her heart.

Sure enough, only those who are familiar with her can hurt her the most.

Xie Muyan gave a wry smile, turned her face to look at the scenery in the pond, and when she turned her head to look at Mu Jiayu and the two of them, her expression had returned to the original indifference.

"Why, do you still want to restrain my feet? You just believe that I will do such a thing? Mu Jiayu, what kind of unbearable image do I have in your heart?"

The three words "Mu Jiayu" seemed to be half of a sharp blade, piercing into Mu Jiayu's heart, and the expression on his face changed immediately.

Zhang Duoya felt that Mu Jiayu's body suddenly became stiff, and the gloating expression appeared on her face immediately, even the eyes that looked at Xie Muyan were full of provocation.

Since ancient times, speaking bluntly about the name of the current emperor is an outrageous thing, and punishment is often imposed.However, to Zhang Duoya's surprise, Mu Jiayu not only failed to punish Xie Muyan, but even let go of the arm that was holding her.And Xie Muyan also turned to leave without looking back.It's just that the back, compared to before, seems a little less chic, and a little more bleak.

Zhang Duoya was stunned for a moment.She raised her head and looked in Mu Jiayu's direction, only to see that his eyes followed Xie Muyan's leaving figure, and the expression on his face also brought some confusion that she had never seen before. .

She lowered her head, hiding the resentment on her face.She sneezed intentionally, trying to get Mu Jiayu's attention.But in exchange for Mu Jiayu's cold words.

"The weather has turned cold now, you go back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold. What's more, Li'er's health is almost in good shape now, but she is young, and still needs you as a mother to accompany her."

Even though he was talking to Zhang Duoya, his gaze remained in the direction where Xie Muyan left, as if Zhang Duoya's exquisite figure after her clothes were soaked in water could not make him mention it at all. interest of.

Zhang Duoya bit her lip. Even though she was unwilling, she also understood that the time had not come, and some things could not be forced.In desperation, after blessing her body towards Mu Jiayu, she silently headed towards Riming Palace.

When Xie Muyan returned to Fengqi Palace, although there was an expression of indifference on her face, Xinran could still see some sullen expressions on her face.

"Master, you..."

There was a slight pause in her handling of the herbs, and there was a strong sense of worry in the eyes she looked at Xie Muyan.At the same time, she was secretly praying in her heart, don't let Xie Muyan encounter some unsatisfactory situation when she rarely comes to Fengqi Palace.

"Forget it, there's nothing wrong with it. Tell those maids to turn on the water, I'm a little tired too."

Seeing Xin Ran's worried and caring expression, Xie Muyan's originally cold heart felt a little warmer.Even her face forced a smile at this moment, and she spoke softly to Xinran.

Xinran couldn't help but glanced at the still bright sky, and wanted to ask Xie Muyan if she didn't eat dinner?But after seeing Xie Muyan's frustrated face, she was speechless for a while, and could only obediently go to give orders.

And after Zhang Duoya returned to Riming Palace, although she was a little disappointed with Mu Jiayu's attitude towards her, she couldn't help feeling relieved when she thought of how Xie Muyan was injured just now.

That's what she wanted, step by step, to make the misunderstanding between Mu Jiayu and Xie Muyan deeper and deeper, and the relationship worse and worse...
