Chapter 381 Step-by-step
Xia Jingyan secretly celebrated that she did not take advantage of the opportunity just now, but Han Linglong was annoyed by Mu Qingya's viciousness.
What a Mu Qingya, how to frame himself with such a method!
At this time, she had forgotten that she was completely self-serving of evil, and only thought that Mu Qingya had framed herself.
Duanmu Mingli was very happy. Looking at Han Linglong's angry and shocked appearance, she felt extremely funny. This woman still wanted to frame Qingya, which was really unknown.
Just as everyone was quietly waiting for the situation to develop, the announcement sounded at the gate of the palace sounded.
"Prince Li has arrived, Prince Chun has arrived."
Mu Qingya raised her eyes slightly. After Mo Junqing's marriage was settled, Mo Ao rewarded him as Prince Chun. Because his marriage is for happiness, it will be more or less criticized. Therefore, the prince's name is mostly compensated in it.
Seeing Mo Junyu and Mo Junqing coming in, Han Linglong, who was already angry, suddenly trembled and suddenly calmed down. She could not lose her mind. The questioning of Mu Qingya just now has made her fall into the lower grade. Now she must calm down, otherwise I'm afraid she will become the second Han Linglan!
Mo Junyu took the lead in saying, "I've seen the imperial concubine."
"It's good for the second prince to come. Don't be too polite. Please forgive me."
"Thank you, my two brothers were summoned to the palace by my father today. When they came, they were in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare gifts, so they brought their father's reward here. Let's make gifts for our errands. Please don't dislike it."
Xia Jingyan smiled brightly and said repeatedly, "How come? Thank you so much to the two princes."
Mo Junwei's words not only explained the reason why she did not prepare a gift, but also showed the emperor's love for Xia Jingyan. In addition, the reward they brought proves this even more. She has a big face for Xia Jingyan. How can she not be unhappy?
Mo Junqing followed Mo Junqing to the end of the salute and asked, "What's wrong? Why did Miss Han kneel on the ground?" Seeing the scene in the yard, he knew that it must have been Han Linglong who framed Qingya. However, looking at the current situation, he was completely stealing chickens and rice. At this time, he naturally didn't mind falling into the well.
Mu Qingya lowered her eyes and smiled. Knowing that it was better for Mo Junqing to speak at this time, she did not say anything, but took a step back slightly and leaked the green Qiqin she blocked.
Aware of Mu Qingya's movements, Mo Junqing instantly understood that the problem appeared on the piano and said, "Why are these strings broken?"
Thinking of what happened just now, Xia Jingyan's face was slightly ugly: "This green piano was brought by Han Linglong, but she didn't expect her to ask the princess to dance with a phoenix song. She touched this originally good piano, and the strings were all broken."
Mo Junqing's eyes flashed and looked at Mu Qingya's hand in her sleeve, thinking: "Is this piano green? Hearing that Lvqi's piano sound is unparalleled in the world. The more pure-minded people are, the more pleasant the sound they play, and those who are dirty will be hurt by the piano sound when they play. This green Qi brought by Miss Han, it is impossible for this to have such a situation.
As soon as the words fell, many people around her suddenly realized that the piano was brought by Han Linglong. Han Linglong was the owner of Luqi, and her mind was dirty. Green Qi should have hurt her, but Lvqi was spiritual and unwilling to hurt her master, so she had no choice but to destroy herself and cut off the strings. It was really a famous piano. Ah!
There were whispered discussion around, which made Han Linglong's face more and more ugly. She forcibly controlled her anger and respectfully bent down to Xia Jing and said, "Empress, the imperial concubine, Linglong is guilty. What you taught me before is that Linglong actually forgot the Empress's aunt. I dare not shirk it. Thinking about it, this green collapse is a warning to Linglong, and I also ask my mother to punish her, otherwise Linglong will be restless. With that, tears fell down, with a look of regret.
The people around who were still talking stopped when they heard Han Linglong's words. Han Linglong herself was extremely beautiful, otherwise she could not have the reputation of vicissitudes. Now her tearful and fragile appearance is more and more unbearable. Coupled with her calm attitude of admitting her mistakes, it makes people involuntarily forget the dirty speculation about her. After all, no matter how you look at her, she is a moment of negligence and making mistakes.
Xia Jingyan's eyes flashed and secretly thought in her heart. It seemed that she was a little blind. Han Linglong was much smarter than her sister Han Linglan and actually knew how to bend and stretch. It seemed that if she was mentioned a little, Han Linglong would not be able to give Mu Qingya a headache. After all, although the Han family suffered a blow, the hundred-legged insects died and did not stiffen. The decades of heritage of the Han family could not be dispersed overnight. Thinking about it, he said:
"If you can understand this truth, speaking of which, the queen loved the most before her death was you, the girl, and you should always keep it in mind."
"Yes, Linglong will definitely remember it in his heart and never forget the love and teaching of the queen's aunt." Hearing Xia Jingyan's words, Han Linglong's eyes lit up.
Xia Jingyan nodded: "Well, you are the queen's favorite niece. If I punish you, I will definitely be unbearable. In this case, as you said before, go home and copy the filial piety a hundred times and pray for the queen."
"Yes, Linglong obeys, thank you, imperial concubine."
"Well, Qingya, you won't blame me for such a punishment, will you?"
Mu Qingya's eyes moved and said with a smile, "How come, the imperial concubine is right. The queen loves Miss Han the most. How can she punish her inadvertently? The empress must be very angry when she learns that the imperial concubine can't deal with it."
Xia Jingyan chok, and the anger flashed in her eyes, which was suppressed by her.
In the name of the queen, she reminded Han Linglong to avoid punishment. She could not only keep her to continue to fight against Mu Qingya, but also showed her magnanimity. Mu Qingya misinterpreted her behavior as afraid of the queen. Originally, many people in this palace were very disquious to her in charge of the harem. Now I don't know those people. What will you think of her jokes? But now she can't attack.
"In that case, that's it. Let's all sit down."
Since the matter was handled, the banquet naturally continued, and the piano was also taken down by the maid of honor.
Mu Qingya sat back in her seat and asked softly, "Miss?"
Mu Qingya shook her head. Naturally, she could not show anything abnormal at this time, otherwise her efforts just now would be in vain.
Han Linglong's heart was very uneven. Things were obviously carried out according to her settings. Why was Mu Qingya okay? Instead, the piano was broken when it came to her hand... What the hell did Mu Qingya do in it? Thinking about it, she bit her lip slightly, let the maid beside her come to a glass of wine and raised her voice and said, "Princess Mu, it was Linglong wrong just now. I inadvertently offended the princess and almost implicated you in you being punished. I hope the princess won't be angry. This glass of wine is Linglong's apology to the princess, and please forgive me."
Mu Qingya's eyes are deep, and Han Linglong still won't give up?
"Miss Han is worried. Qingya has not blamed you in the first place. It seems that Qingya is too stingy to make you toast and apologize. Let's forget this glass of wine."
Han Linglong's eyes flashed. Mu Qingya did not leak her hand from the end of playing the piano, and now she refuses. Then, there must be a wound left by courage in her hand. As long as she is exposed, she can immediately flip the card.
"The princess is generous and doesn't blame me, but how can Linglong think that she is not wrong? Please don't refuse again, otherwise I'm afraid Linglong will continue to be frightened."
Mu Qingya looked at her for a long time, raised the corners of her lips coldly, and slowly stretched out her hand to hold the glass: "In this case, Qingya will no longer refuse, but please forgive me. Qingya is not strong. This is your second glass of wine, so let's take it as the last glass."
Han Linglong's expression changed and nodded. At this time, her attention was completely focused on Mu Qingya's fingers, nervously paying attention to her movements, but she didn't expect things to be completely unexpected.
Because of the wide sleeves, Mu Qingya only reveals the first half of her fingers, but the fingertips are still as white as jade, and even her nails are faintly jade-colored, like pink peach petals, beautiful and fascinating.
How could it be! Mu Qingya's hands didn't have any scars. How could this happen?
Mu Qingya drank: "Miss Han, you don't have to be afraid in the future." With that, his body shook slightly.
Leqi hurried forward to help Mu Qingya and pleaded guilty: "The imperial concubine, the princess is too drunk. Please don't blame the imperial concubine."
Xia Jingyan looked at Mu Qingya and found that her face was flushed, with a faint sweat on her forehead, and it was clear that she had a little drunk: "In this case, help the princess to go to the side hall to have a rest, and the palace will send some sobering soup."
"Yes, thank you, Imperial Concubine."
Xia Jingyan glanced at Han Linglong with an ugly face and snorted coldly in his heart: useless things!
When he arrived at the side hall, Mu Qingya's footsteps stabilized and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Mu Qingya sat on the edge of the bed and swept a circle of palace people standing next to him. Leqi quickly let people out, saying that she could serve them by herself.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Qingya lifted her sleeves and pulled out the golden needle inserted in her wrist.
Without the obstruction of the golden needle, the blood returned to operation, and suddenly a layer of blood was covered with fingers.
Le Qi was extremely surprised and reacted quickly. He put a cloth towel from the hem of his clothes and put it next to Mu Qingya's hand to catch the dripping blood. This is the side hall of Yuntai Palace, which cannot leave any trace, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause Xia Jingyan's suspicion.
Let the blood flow for a while. Seeing that the blood color returned to normal, Mu Qingya was relieved. A small amount of the crow gall can clear away heat and detoxify, but if the amount is large, it will erode into the bones. If you don't force it out, I'm afraid that there will be no way to play the piano with these hands in the future.
Miss, are you all right? The maidservant brought some medicine on her body. Apply it quickly.
Mu Qingya shook her head: "No."
She can't be stained with the smell of medicine, otherwise she won't be able to explain it next.
