The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 40

Seeing that everyone left, Mu Xirao smiled triumphantly.His eyes are like waves, but his face is full of rebelliousness.

Mo Ziyan just looked at her quietly, and found that she was a mystery. The more he explored, the more confused he became, and he couldn't find a real answer.

Because of Mo Ziyan's identity, he chose the hall for lunch.This was also the first time in Mu Xirao's memory that she sat at the same table with people from Mu's residence.

Mu Mingyuan and Mo Hanling talked about the turmoil in the neighboring country from time to time, and Mu Yuwei filled his bowl with vegetables from time to time.Eyes filled with deep happiness.Mu Ruyi, who was sitting opposite them, hadn't eaten the rice grains yet, her eyes looked at Mu Yuwei from time to time, and from time to time fell on Mo Hanling who was talking with Mu Mingyuan, her face was full of admiration and love. envy.

"My lord, this is the specialty of the chef in our mansion, try it." Mu Yuwei said coquettishly to Mo Hanling beside her, and when she looked back, she met Mu Ruyi's gaze. with.

Straightening her body and holding her head high, Mu Yuwei rolled her eyes contemptuously and said, "Xi Rao, the youngest in this mansion, is married, but why is the second sister still staying in the mansion? Maybe she is planning to be a girl?" old girl."

"The villain's success!" Mu Ruyi cursed in a low voice, unconvinced, and put the rice bowl in her hand on the table: "Don't bother my sister to worry about this matter, the imperial concubine is already paying attention to the second sister. .”

After saying that, she glanced at Mo Hanling intentionally or unintentionally, but this simple sentence made Mu Yuwei's expression obviously displeased.

Mu Xirao cared about eating by herself, spreading dishes for Li Xuelian and Mozi from time to time.Seeing the two fighting openly and secretly at the table, Xi Rao couldn't help but smile with her lips raised.

"Yesterday, the warehouse of the palace was stolen by thieves. This king led a group of people to chase after Prince Rui's mansion and disappeared. Did Princess Rui see any suspicious people yesterday?" During the banquet, Mo Hanling suddenly appeared. asked aloud.

Mu Xirao looked up at him, then sarcastically said: "Prince Ling's words are doubting our Prince Rui's residence?"

Mo Hanling chuckled, but looked at the two of them coldly: "The sky was too dark yesterday, so I didn't see the thief clearly, but the back looks like Hua Qingchen, who chased after Rui... There is no trace at the palace. This king is well aware that Princess Rui and Hua Qingchen have a very close relationship, so I just asked casually, and I also want to remind Princess Rui, so as not to be troubled by others."

Mu Xirao couldn't help thinking about what happened yesterday. It wasn't a grand festival, so why would someone set off fireworks.Na Hua Qingchen left quickly after seeing the fireworks going off.Could it be that the thief in Prince Ling's Mansion is really that Hua Qingchen?

Although he was a little puzzled, Xi Rao did not change his face, and continued to eat calmly. After a long time, he said, "Just now, what Prince Ling meant was to accuse me of colluding with the thieves? Don't try to accuse me of colluding with the thieves without evidence. Put it on Xi Rao's head."

When Mu Mingyuan saw it, he put on a straight face and snapped, "You can't stop your mouths even if you eat. If you don't want to eat, you don't have to sit here!"

When Mu Xirao heard this, she put down the bowls and chopsticks in a fit of anger, got up, and walked out in everyone's astonishment.

It doesn't matter if you eat this meal or not.Reluctantly put a pair of natural enemies in a cage, and hoped to get along with each other in peace.Mu Mingyuan's troubles really made her unbearable.

Going around, Xi Rao didn't know where to go, so she turned to Mu Chuchu's attic.Before anyone stepped in, they smelled a pungent Chinese herbal medicine.

"Ahem... take the medicine away, it doesn't improve after drinking so much. Just let me go." Lying on the bed, Mu Chuchu's face was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood, and her eyes were clear Dim and dull, his eyes protruded deeply, looking terrified on his thin and small face.The whole person looked sick and lifeless, without the charm and beauty of the past.

Xi Rao walked into the room, the windows inside were tightly closed, not a single bit of wind came in.The windows that were illuminated by the sun were covered with black cloth, dark and damp, and looked out of place with the hot season.

"Miss, you should drink more. You torture yourself like this, and the lotus feels distressed when you see it." The girl holding the medicine bowl couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and when she took a few steps forward, Mu Chuchu waved her hand. Overturned the medicine bowl.

"If you don't drink, you can't hear me, so let me die. Get out, get out! Cough cough..." Mu Chuchu yelled at the servant girl, her body trembling with excitement, and she couldn't help coughing one after another.

Mu Xirao suddenly felt sore in her heart, walked forward and squatted in front of her bed, stretched out her hand to tidy up her messy hair, and said softly distressed: "Look at your hair is messed up, your face is thin Yes, if my brother-in-law sees you like this, he will be very distressed. Sister, everyone has a hurdle that they cannot overcome, but why do we have to go through that hurdle instead of finding another way?

In fact, compared to me, you are really much happier than me.You have the love of your parents, and you have someone who loves you and loves you deeply. You have had so many years of happiness and memories together.As for me, I can only look at him from a distance, wanting to get close but afraid to get close, and in his heart, maybe I am not worth mentioning at all.Now I am married to another woman, a person who does not love at all.You know that many people don't even have the chance to love, sister, why are you so stupid. "

"Xi Rao, my heart hurts, I feel really uncomfortable. As long as the night is quiet, I close my eyes, and my mind is full of dreams. I don't want to go on a blind date, I don't want to remarry, but my mother... Xi Rao I'm really in too much pain, I don't even have a person to talk to when you leave. As long as I live, it's no different from death."

Seeing Xirao, Mu Chuchu couldn't help crying while hugging her.She felt that she was about to collapse and go crazy. She seemed to be trapped in a swamp, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.She was entangled with no way out.

Mu Xirao patted her on the back lightly, such a desperate Mu Chuchu really had nothing to think about.Only she can pull her up now.

"So big sister, you have to make yourself better now, and live strong with your brother-in-law's love for you. You have to fulfill his dream and fulfill his happiness that he couldn't enjoy. You live not only for yourself And live, you have to live for brother-in-law. Come on, let's drink the medicine first, and I will take you and me back to the palace to relax later."

While persuading Xi Rao, she took the medicine bowl that He Hua had brought back again, scooped up a small half of it with a spoon, and blew it with her mouth before bringing it to her lips.

"Sister, you don't live for yourself, you have to live for your brother-in-law. Be good, let's drink the medicine first." Like coaxing a child, Xi Rao touched the spoon to her lips, motioning for her to open her mouth to swallow.

Mu Chuchu's eyes turned red suddenly, and big drops of tears fell into the spoon. She opened her mouth, and finally gave up the despair of fending for herself under Xi Rao's persuasion.

"That's right, come on, you lie down first. I'll ask Lotus to pack a few clothes, and I'll take you back home today." Seeing her drink the medicine, Xi Rao helped her lie on the bed and got up Just go and pack your things.

Mu Chuchu looked at her back and couldn't help but smile.But, will they let themselves follow Mu Xirao?
After lunch, Mu Yuwei followed Liu Zhi back to the room, saying that there were some pieces of fabric bestowed by the emperor, she asked Mu Yuwei to pick some and bring them home.

Mo Hanling was too lazy to gossip with the two of them, so he went for a walk in the back garden alone.

The strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted in the air, and Mo Hanling couldn't help approaching.I saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus in the backyard was in full bloom, and each plant was covered with golden flowers. Looking from a distance, the beauty was intoxicating.

Approaching at a slow pace, Mo Hanling stretched out his hand and wanted to pick it up.But through the gap, I discovered that a woman was picking another sweet-scented osmanthus tree.Suddenly, the woman slipped and fell from the tree.

Seeing this, Mo Hanling flew forward to catch the woman.Her black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes were astonishingly beautiful, with a hint of astonishment.

Spinning and landing in the air, Mo Hanling saw clearly that the woman was actually Mu Ruyi.

Mu Ruyi could only feel her heart beating faster and her body getting hot.It was the first time that she was so close to him, she felt that she almost melted into his eyes.

Seeing that Mo Hanling had landed safely, he let go of his arms around her waist and looked away.

Mu Ruyi stood firm, tidied up her slightly embarrassed face, and then saluted him: "Thank you, my lord, for saving me just now."

Her voice is soft and waxy, like an oriole in the morning.Mo Hanling couldn't help turning his head to look at her again.The afternoon sun lazily fell behind her, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold.That frown and smile seemed to bring magic power.Mo Hanling had never realized that she could be so beautiful.

Mo Han stared at her face, and his tone was still indifferent and alienated: "How did you climb up the tree? You know that if you are not careful, you will fall down. It is better not to do such dangerous things in the future."

Seeing the concern in her tone, Mu Ruyi couldn't help being a little excited, and replied with a faint smile on her face, "The concubine likes sweet-scented osmanthus cakes the most, but she always says that there are few sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the palace." The taste in her memory, so I wanted to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for my mother.”

Hearing that it was to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for his mother and concubine, Mo Hanling's face immediately became more gentle, and he looked at her lightly.This woman is only able to please her mother and concubine, presumably because she has something extraordinary.

Seeing Mo Hanling staring at her, Mu Ruyi blushed a little, and quickly lowered her head and said, "Ru Yi just made some fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, so please ask the prince to bring them to the concubine to taste. How about this, prince Let’s go to Ruyi to get it back.”

"You made it yourself, why didn't you go to the palace to deliver it yourself? The concubine must also like to see you very much. It's also a good thing to walk around if you have nothing to do." Mo Hanling asked alertly, and then realized that his words were inappropriate , is to add the latter sentence.

Ru Yi blushed, then lowered her head and answered in a low voice: "Just now I accidentally sprained my ankle on a tree, it's really inconvenient for me to enter the palace, I ask the prince to help Ru Yi."
