042 Wind and clouds rise

In Mingcuifang, she was so busy that it was night. Murong Xueyan returned to the royal palace and fell asleep after freshwashing. As soon as he woke up, the sky was crystal clear. After eating, Murong Xueyan was so happy that he took Xiurong to the back garden of the royal palace.

The climate of early autumn has faded from the heat of summer and is very cool. Seeing a few morning glory blooming in the grass, Murong Xueyan was surprised - I didn't expect that there were such wild flowers in ancient times!

"Princess, that's a morning flower, a kind of wild flower." Xiurong said.

"Chaoyanhua... It turns out that morning glory also has this name. Er, it's a good name. Murong Xueyan praised.

What else did Xiurong have to say? Suddenly, she was stopped by Murong Xueyan with her eyes. When she listened, there seemed to be a voice behind the rockery. She heard that the two maids were talking about something.

"I heard that this princess has never had sex with the royal palace since she got married!" There was a smile in one's voice.

"No, I heard that the prince slept in the study on the wedding night." The other man's voice was disdainful, "I didn't expect that this woman from a famous family who was crowned as a princess by the empress dowager was so shameless that she would have a tryst with the man outside!"

"No, no wonder the prince hasn't been allowed to touch her. It turns out that there is someone outside!" Another person echoed.

"That is to say, if you go out dressed up every day, what are you going to do to steal a man?"

......

Murong Xueyan almost trampled over. A tryst? What kind of thing is this? Why do others say things that she doesn't even know?

"..." Xiurong was so angry that she waved her fist to teach the two bold maids. Murong Xueyan stopped her with a gesture and still listened to the two people's comments.

"Our side concubines are beautiful and have a good heart. How can they not be as good as this vain princess!" Er, it sounds like it's for Liu Xiangxiang.

"Yes, I thought the prince would correct the side concubine, no matter how shameless it is..."

"Whip your voice so that there are no ears on the wall."

Murong Xueyan took Xiurong to increase her steps. After walking around the rockery, the two maids who were just talking were dumbfounded.

"I remember that there is a family rule in the royal palace, and you can't talk about your master?" Murong Xueyan looked at the two people with a smile on her face.

"Princess, maidservant, maidservant said nothing..." One of the two maids knelt down first, and the other immediately knelt down when he saw this.

"If Liu Xiangxiang is fine, why didn't the prince help her and marry me, an unincompetent woman?" Murong Xueyan smiled coldly. In her concept, people are equal, and no one has the right to punish others. In this era, although she is noble and high, she will not punish others in order to satisfy her own selfish desires. At this moment, although she is annoyed that the two maids listen to rumors to slander her, she is not enough to punish them.

"Princess..." The two maids looked at Murong Xueyan in a frenn.

Xiurong took the opportunity to teach a lesson: "According to the rules of the royal palace, the master's slaves and maidservants should slap their mouths fifty, and read it when you first commit, then..."

"Princess, I dare not do it, and I dare not do it again." The two maids kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Get up, you just need to answer a few words."

Murong Xueyan looked at the two trembling little girl in front of her and asked, "Xiang Sui used to serve the Liu side concubine?"

"Yes." The two maids dare not lie.

"What's wrong with me and people's secret song? Why don't I know how to listen to what you say? Murong Xuexue looked stern.

"Wang...Princess...We are also... listening to the maids of Liu's side, they said... They said that they had seen the princess and the man's rendezvous with their own eyes?!"

"Have you seen it with your own eyes? A tryst?!" Murong Xueyan's face turned pale with anger.

This Liu Xiangxiang can really spread rumors, and everything that has no shadow can be made up! It happened that Nangong Yi was sent by the emperor to patrol the border gate recently. She couldn't come back for a while, so she took advantage of this, this hateful woman!

"If you don't go down, dare to talk nonsense again, and be careful with your mouths!" Xiurong scolded the two.

Murong Xueyan thought about how to deal with these little wives of Nangongyi. Over there are three women with a vine, and on this side, she fights alone...

In the pavilion in the back garden, Liu Xiangxiang, Lu Mei and Yang Li are sitting around talking and laughing, with their respective maids standing behind them.

"The prince will be back in a few days. At that time, the woman's guilt can be confirmed and she can be driven out of the royal palace." Liu Xiangxiang's pride overflowed with words.

Lu Mei has always been timid. She curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. After all, she is the princess of the empress dowager."

"What are you afraid of? You have to soak in pig cages to have an affair with others." Yang Li and Lu Mei are relatives, and they are rude when they talk, "You are so timid and afraid of things. It's a disgrace to us!"

"She's coming..." Liu Xiangxiang pointed not far away.

Murong Xueyan held Xiurong's hand and Shi Shiran came over, smiling and decent.

"See the princess." Liu Xiangxiang and the other three met at the service, and all his attendants also knelt down.

"Xiurong, is today's sun coming out from the west?" Murong Xueyan ignored the three people and smiled at Xiurong.

Xiu tolerated a smile and glanced across the sky. "Princess, look at me, today's sun is no different from usual."

"Oh, that's strange. When did some savages understand etiquette?"

"You..." Liu Xiangxiang couldn't help but straighten her neck and wanted to get up directly.

"When did I say that I was flat? Why, can you get up by yourself without my permission?" Murong Xueyan's eyes were cold.

Liu Xiangxiang met her eyes, shrank for a moment, and bent down again.

"It seems that this palace used to be too kind to make some people go up and down." Murong Xueyan paused for a long time and said lazily, "Get up."

"Thank you, Princess." Liu Xiangxiang almost gritted his teeth.

"I don't need your thanks. Xiurong, this month's monthly letter has been postponed, and my body is very tired. You see..." Murong Xueyan deliberately provoked the topic.

Xiurong followed and said, "I'm afraid the Empress is happy. It was the same when the maidservant's mother was pregnant with a maidservant.

"In this case, you go and inform the kitchen and ask them to fry a bowl of fetal medicine after lunch today." Murong Xueyan turned her sideways and said, "Help me go back to rest. In the future, I won't visit this garden well, so as not to meet those people who are disappointing.

Seeing Murong Xueyan and Xiurong going further and farther away, and they couldn't even see the figure, Liu Xiangxiang stamped her foot and cursed, "Look at her complacent! Pregnant? Wait, tomorrow I will let everyone in the world know that she steals people and still lives in the wild!"

On the other side, Xiurong looked at Murong Xueyan's inexplicable expression and couldn't help asking, "What's the purpose of the princess saying this?"

"Dide the snake out of the hole, and then hit it all

After lunch, a bowl of fetal protection medicine required by Murong Xueyan was sent to the room. Murong Xueyan poured the medicine under the root of a purple bamboo on the window sill, wrapped the dregs in paper, and Ming Xiurong took it to the street to ask the pharmacy for the prescription. Half a day, Xiurong came back and said exactly as she guessed: "Princess, I ran to two pharmacies. People in the pharmacy said that this bowl was not a fetal protection medicine, but an abortion pill with saffron."

"check." Murong Xueyan said in a low voice, and immediately took Xiurong's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

Everyone in the kitchen was preparing afternoon snacks. At the sight of Murong Xueyan's arrival, they all stopped their movements and visited each other. Murong Xueyan ordered everyone to get up, and Fang asked, "Who is responsible for frying the fetal medicine for this palace today?"

"Go back to Wang Niangniang, it's Xiaoxia." The cook pointed to a thin maid. The maid looks less than fifteen years old and not tall enough. She is still a child.

"Xiaoxia, come to this palace."

"Yes." Xiaoxia followed Murong Xueyan nervously.

When he arrived in the room, Murong Xueyan asked gently, "Xiaoxia, I just want to ask you, who caught this bowl of fetal medicine today?"

"Yes...Yes...I promised that Liu Xuanfei couldn't say..."

"Just say it. I will never tell anyone that you said it." Murong Xueyan tried to follow the good advice.

"No." Xiaoxia's head shook like a rattle. This maid looks so small that she doesn't seem to know anything, but she is still very good at protecting others.

"The medicine in the afternoon was poison. Fortunately, the princess tried it out with a silver needle, otherwise she would be poisoned!" Xiurong threatened.

Murong Xueyan added: "Xiaoxia, you are still so young. If you carry the charge of killing the princess on your back, you must die. If that person framed you so much, do you still want to defend him?"

"But...but... but Sister Xiangsui said that it was just a saffron that invigorate the blood and the scriptures. If... it doesn't kill me." Xiaoxia lowered her head.

"Xiang Sui." Murong Xueyan and Xiurong read the name at the same time. One person knew it for a long time, and there was an accident.

"Go ahead, this is a reward for you." Murong Xueyan pulled out a silver hairpin and handed it to Xiaoxia's hand. "When he went back, he told them that I only asked if you still had any medicine, and I accidentally spilled the medicine."

"Yes."

After Xiaoxia retreated, Murong Xueyan walked up and down the room, thinking about how to seize Liu Xiangxiang's weakness from time to time and gain the upper hand in this round of struggle.

It is not feasible to take Xiangsui directly to face each other in front of Liu Xiangxiang. At that time, she will definitely not admit it. If the matter is messed up, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with it. If she indulges them, she can't stand it.

It seems that you still have to stay still. Let's see what Liu Xiangxiang will do next.
