Chapter 336
"On the contrary, Empress, you keep saying that concubines should follow the local customs and abide by the etiquette here. Although the concubines are not from the Central Plains, they have always admired the culture of the Central Plains and have heard of the truth of being honest with each other since they were young. I don't know the queen. What is the reason for the empress to reject the concubines when they have not yet entered the door?"

When Zhang Duoya said this, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, as if she was reprimanding Xie Muyan, and even her voice carried a bit of majesty.

Hearing Zhang Duoya speak in such a tone, Xinran's face was stained with anger.She took two steps forward to protect Xie Muyan behind her.However, before she opened her mouth to bombard Zhang Duoya, she heard Xie Muyan's voice faintly behind her.

"What does Concubine Zhang Gui mean by this? Are you teaching me a lesson?" In her tone, there was obviously no sense of oppression, but when Zhang Duoya and Zhang Buli faced her, they felt inexplicably Kind of chill.

Zhang Duoya's body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.She raised her head, and touched her stomach intentionally or unintentionally with her right hand.She changed the subject, and suddenly changed into a pitiful look, "It's the concubine who was abrupt. Please don't blame the empress. After all, the concubine has another child in her womb, and she can't help being frightened." .”

The weak Liu Yingfeng's appearance, coupled with the pitiful words, made Xie Muyan's heart tremble suddenly.Her eyes widened, her face was full of disbelief, and she even took a few steps back.If it wasn't for Xinran's quick eyesight and hands to help her, she might have fallen to the ground and made a fool of herself in front of Zhang Duoya and Zhang Buli.

Zhang Duoya had a proud smile on his face at this time, and his eyes were full of sarcasm when he looked at Xie Muyan.

"That's really congratulations to the noble concubine. It is also the blessing of the Ming Shun Dynasty to have another heir for the emperor as soon as possible." Xie Muyan almost gritted her teeth before she said such words.She turned her head to the side, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window, to cover up the pain that might be inadvertently revealed in her eyes.

"Yes." As if Xie Muyan didn't want to continue this topic, Zhang Duoya said again with a smile, "After all, empress, you are regarded as the disaster star of the Ming Shun Dynasty. Once this child is born, it may bring some happiness to Ming Shunchao."

"Then congratulations to Concubine Zhang. I am tired, so please go back first."

Xie Muyan waved her hand lightly, the meaning of chasing guests in her words could not be more obvious.Zhang Duoya's purpose of coming to Fengqi Palace has been achieved, and she no longer entangles too much, and turns around and leaves with Zhang Buli.

Seeing their leaving figures, Mu Yan finally couldn't hold on any longer, took a few steps back and fell weakly on the bench not far behind her.The cold bench was just like her current state of mind.

"Master, don't listen to her nonsense! How could the emperor..." Xinran knew that Xie Muyan felt sad because Zhang Duoya was pregnant, so she comforted her softly.But she was interrupted by Xie Muyan just in the middle of her words.

"He has punished me for a month of confinement, what else can he not do?" Xie Muyan couldn't help sneering, her eyes suddenly became brighter, as if she had seen through everything.

Xin Ran was silent, but her wide-open eyes were full of worry.

Indistinctly, it seemed that the voice of a palace maid came in from the window.Mu Yan staggered to the bed and stopped to listen.For the first time, she wanted to hear what the maids were talking about.

"It's really bad luck. Why did you arrange us to serve the empress? I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect that the empress is a witch who will bring bad luck to people. Not to mention, she is also narrow-minded, which offends the emperor. This Once the empress is left out in the cold, it will be bad luck for us as well."

"That's right, in the beginning when the Empress Dowager was favored, we were able to work hard. Now..."

The court lady who was talking seemed to be afraid that her complaint would be heard by others, so she lowered her voice and at the same time, she also walked towards the other side, and only a few words were passed into Xie Muyan's ears.

The corner of Xie Muyan's mouth suddenly outlined a self-deprecating smile.With Xinran's worried eyes, she walked to her bed and sat down, throwing her entire upper body onto the bed.

I don't know how long it has passed.Under Xie Muyan's order, Xinran has already left the bedroom.The sky gradually darkened, and in the entire bedroom, only a candle that Xinran lit when she sneaked in just now gave off a faint light.

Xie Muyan was lying on the bed in the dark.If it wasn't for the sudden roar in her ears, she even doubted that she would be able to lie on this bed for the rest of her life.

"Sister, are you going to stay on this bed for the rest of your life?! When did you become so decadent? If I don't ask, you're not going to tell me what happened, right? Get up and take a look, take a look What the hell did those two bastards do!"

A series of words like firing a machine gun came out of Xie Muxin's mouth.At the same time, Xie Muyan only felt a sudden huge pulling force on her arm, which forced her to sit up from the bed.

She opened her arms, and the scene in front of her was blurry. After a long time, her eyes slowly focused, and when she saw Xie Muxin standing in front of her with a very iron and steel appearance, she was confused. A look flashed across her face.For a moment, she almost thought that she was in Mu Chenxuan's box.

She looked around in the dim surroundings, and after seeing the decoration clearly, she realized that this was the Phoenix Palace that she least wanted to stay in at this moment.Following the dim candlelight, Xie Muxin was able to see the haggard face of Xie Muyan.She softened slightly in her heart, but then returned to the tough attitude she had at the beginning.

The sound of the bedroom door being opened and then gently closed was especially clear in the silent bedroom.Xie Muyan's eyes turned to Xie Muxin, and after seeing Ye Gucheng who walked in together, her face was obviously stunned.

"All the palace people are already asleep. Xinran looks at them, nothing will happen."

Ye Gucheng lowered his voice, and the deep voice came out of his mouth immediately.Xie Muyan nodded slightly, turned around and sat down beside Xie Muyan's bed.

"Sister, Master Ye, he got some news." Xie Muxin and Ye Gucheng looked at each other, further confirming the idea of ​​telling Xie Muyan about this matter.After a pause, she continued, "The assassins at the banquet were all arranged by Zhang Duoya's mother and son."

The short words immediately sounded a wake-up call for Xie Muyan, making her wake up from the trance suddenly.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the look in Xie Muxin's eyes was not incredulous, but radiating the light of revenge.If she was depressed at the beginning, then at this moment, she is full of high-spirited fighting spirit.

At the Hundred Days Banquet that day, although the black mist was lingering, she still saw that the person who pushed her towards the assassin was none other than Zhang Buli.At first, she thought that Zhang Buli and Zhang Duoya just wanted to take this opportunity to put her in a dead end.But she didn't expect, more precisely, it should be uncertain, that these assassins were found by Zhang Duoya's mother and son!

In this way, on the contrary, it can arouse her fighting spirit even more.Her hands, which were originally hanging by her side, were tightly clenched.

Seeing Xie Muyan's appearance, Ye Gucheng didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.He took two steps forward with complicated eyes, and sent a few thin sheets of paper into Xie Muyan's hands.

Xie Muyan snatched the papers from Ye Gucheng almost anxiously.Her eyes scanned the paper hastily, almost ten lines at a glance.Ye Gucheng's voice rang in her ears again at this time.

"This is the transaction record of an assassin organization, including what mission to travel, the number of people traveling on the mission, the result of the mission, and the transaction price with the customer, etc., all of which are clearly recorded. I just spent a little money, naturally Someone sent this thing to my hand."

"Sometimes employing people is also very important. If employing people is not good, then it is better to raise a few animals. At least, they still know who is raising them."

In Xie Muyan's words, there was a hint.At this time, Xie Muxin and Ye Gucheng couldn't help but keep silent.They could all hear that Xie Muyan was talking about the cooks of Mu Chenxuan.To be honest, they didn't expect that the honest and diligent cooks would sell Mu Chenxuan's special dishes.

"I've made up my mind. Now should be the time for the guards to change their guards. Take advantage of this time and go quickly." Xie Muyan looked at the sky with a faint glint outside the window, and she had roughly calculated in her heart. At this moment, he was speaking to Ye Gucheng and the two of them.

Xie Muxin and Ye Gucheng looked at each other.Even though she wanted to stay by Xie Muyan's side at this moment, she knew in her heart that there were still many things waiting for her to deal with, so she had to follow Ye Gucheng away step by step.

Through the window, Xie Muyan put her hands behind her back and looked at the backs of the two leaving. The scene of the warm blood splashing when the assassin stabbed the sword into the baby's chest again appeared in her mind.

So heart-wrenching, but so unforgettable.

"Baby, don't worry, mother will definitely avenge you." Xie Muyan murmured softly, her gaze covered by the drooping eyelids was full of determination.

Having made such a determination, Xie Muyan only felt that she was suddenly relieved.She didn't even understand why she was so depressed just now.

She was about to go back to her bed and take a good rest, but just as she took two steps, there was another overwhelming nausea in her stomach.This feeling seems familiar...
