202 "Please call me princess."
The second lady looked at Mu Xilang fiercely for a long time, and her lips squirmed for a long time and couldn't speak.
Mu Xijian saw this and suddenly felt that it was meaningless. He stood up and bowed to the eldest lady, "Xi Ran was shocked last night. If there is nothing else for the eldest aunt, Xi'an will go back first.
It is rare for the first lady to see the second lady so angry that she can't say it. She felt a little relieved, so she became more and more kind to Mu Xilang, "Yes, you go back. Your body is getting heavier and heavier. If you don't want to come over in the future, let the maid say something.
"Yes, Xian knows." After saying that, Mu Xian straightened his waist and floated away in the second lady's angry eyes.
After going back, Mu Xilan learned that Chu Chen had woken up, so she walked in. Seeing that Chu Chen was half leaning against the bed and didn't know what she was thinking, she quietly sat down at the round table and ordered Nan Xiao to pour a cup of tea.
Chu Chen turned his head, looked at Mu Xiran's soft side face, and brushed her slightly convex abdomen. His eyes dimmed for a moment, and a little joke appeared on his face. "Qin Yu is so willing to throw you alone in the royal palace?"
"If Qin Yu was also here, I wouldn't have been able to save you last night?" Mu Xian did not answer the question.
"It's true." Chu Chen touched his chest with a wry smile.
Mu Xian took a sip of tea, put away his joking look and said, "Where have you been these months? How could he suddenly assassinate the fifth prince? You know this is a dead end, but you have to do it. It was in vain for me to ask my cousin to save you from the prisoners who went to the frontier.
When the Chu family raided the house and all the people of the Chu family were assigned to the frontier, Mu Xilan deliberately asked Yi Xiao to rescue Chu Chen. After all, Chu Chen has saved her twice, and she must repay her life-saving grace.
"So, I saved you twice, and you saved me twice. Are we even?" Chu Chen pulled the corners of his mouth and deliberately skimmed Mu Xilan's question.
"Answer my question. Otherwise, I will throw you at the door of the fifth prince's mansion." Mu Xi'an tone was extremely serious.
Thinking of these months and living a muddle-headed life, Chu Chen fell into the depravity for a moment. "It's just that he has been crossing the city for a day. As for why he assassinated the fifth prince... because..." Chu Chen closed his eyes full of pain and opened it coldly. "When I found my mother and sister-in-law, they had been killed by the fifth prince."
Mu Xian doesn't want to think about these complex grudges or mention them anymore, "You can heal your wounds here." With that, he wanted to leave.
"Xi Run." Chu Chen called her out.
Mu Xiran turned around and said in a little indifferent tone, "Please call me Princess."
"Xiran, how much I want to die in your arms last night, because I don't have to live in pain all day long. I know that my eldest brother's fault has led to the decline of the whole Chu family. I also know that Prince Jing'an did something to the Chu family because of you, but... I just can't hate you, even..."
"Chu Chen." Mu Xilan really interrupted Chu Chen's next words, "The past has passed. Since you have survived, continue to look forward. As for us, it is never possible. Although you have saved me many times, your love will only embarrass me in front of Qin Yu.
Every sentence of Mu Xijian is like a sharp blade scratching his body. The chaotic and anxious pain is far more painful than the wound in the chest.
I don't know when Mu Xiran had left. Chu Chen breathed a difficult breath and closed his eyes again.
On the vertical day, Mu Xilan was told that the Taoist priest invited by the eldest lady had arrived outside the house. She lay lazily on the soft couch and told Qin Yi, "Let the Taoist priest cast the spell. But remember not to let the Taoist priest and his entourage come to the bamboo forest.
Mu Xilan can understand the thoughts of the eldest lady, but it is difficult for people to take the opportunity to sneak in and see Chu Chen.
Qin Yi's eyes showed a clear look, "My subordinates will be optimistic."
"Okay, you go there first. I'll also go and see how the Taoist priest catches the ghost later. Mu Xi's cold and charming smile.
When Qin Yi walked away, Mu Xilan looked down at her increasingly raised lower abdomen. The child was so obvious for more than three months, which was a little different from her memory in the previous life. In the soft sunshine, the woman's eyebrows showed kindness and smile, and turned to think of Qin Yu, who had been away for seven or eight days. She asked Nanxiao to call Qin. Words.
"Qin Yan, what's the news from the prince's side, but he found his uncle?"
Qin Yan replied, "At present, there is still no news. There is no message about the flying pigeons from their subordinates so far.
Hearing the words, Mu Xiran's face suddenly changed, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter, but Qin Yu had always been meticulous and steady... A trace of suspicion couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Qin Yan, what did the prince say when he left?"
"I just told my subordinates to take good care of the princess. For the rest, my subordinates don't know. Qin Yan lowered his eyes, and there seemed to be some emotion at the bottom of his eyes, but he soon covered it.
It was so close that Mu Xilan, who had always been sharp-eyed, didn't see it. She thought for a moment with a calm face, and finally said calmly, "You go and bring the Qin shopkeeper's family. I want to see you."
"Yes, I'm going now." Qin Yan had to step out quickly.
When Mu Xilan came to the main courtyard with Nianhua, the casting of spells here had begun, and various decorations used for casting spells had been hung inside. The Taoist priest in Taoist clothes held a long sword and closed his eyes and buzzed in his mouth.
"Madam, the first lady and the second lady are coming." Nianhua looked at the people coming this way not far away and whispered.
Mu Xi turned his head and looked at it, half-squinted and swept the visitor's expression one by one. Finally, he fell on the hagging Yuanshi standing behind the old lady. The curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually deepened, "Nianhua, was there a ghost here last night?"
"Yes, after my wife ordered last night, I stayed here all night." Nianhua is still a little sleepy.
"Nest sister-in-law, don't come out if you are not well, just stay in the house. Here, everything is given to my aunt, who must drive the ghost away by the Taoist priest. The eldest lady is a Buddhist, and naturally she also believes in these ghosts and gods.
Mu Xi'an couldn't help saying coquettishly, "This is not the first time I've seen Xi'an. I want to come and have a look."
Without waiting for the eldest lady to speak, the second lady next to her raised her eyebrows and looked sideways at the Taoist priest in the yard. "It is said that people with a body can't look at these. Doesn't the princess know this rule?
"Yes, yes, yes." The eldest lady suddenly remembered and quickly blamed, "It's okay if you don't know it. Why don't the people around you know this rule? People with a body can't look at this. Nianhua, take your wife back quickly.
Mu Xiran looked at the eldest lady with a confused face, with a little grievance on her face, "Why is this?"
"Ghosts and gods like weak women the most, and they like people with bodies even more." The eldest lady said and pushed Mu Xi'an far away, "Leave the matter here to my aunt, and you can go back."
"Then he left." Mu Xi ran away with a forced smile and turned away quietly.
Walking back into the bamboo forest, Mu Xiyan put away her smile and heard Nianhua blame herself, "Madam, I really don't know this rule. Does your wife feel uncomfortable?
"Nianhua, even you believe this?" Mu Xian deliberately raised her face and turned around to look at her.
"I just feel that it's better to believe in what they don't believe." Nianhua's clear eyes were aggrieved.
Mu Xilan sighed gently and patted Nianhua on the shoulder, "I was tired of you last night. Go to bed quickly. Call Nanxiao, and I'll go and see Mr. Chu.
What Mu Xilan didn't expect was that she didn't see Chu Chen when she entered the room. When she came out again, she heard the sound of quarreling in the Xiuyue room next to her. After listening carefully, it was indeed Chu Chen's. She quickly pushed the door in.
When the two people in the room heard the sound of opening the door, they turned their heads in surprise.
Mu Xijian saw the two, one with red ears and the other pale. She turned around and closed the door, walked to Xiuyue and sat down, "What happened?"
"It's okay." Xiuyue quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head.
Chu Chen also scratched his head unnaturally, covering his chest and his voice was low. "I was a little impulsive just now. I'm leaving now."
"Wait." Mu Xilan couldn't help but cool down, "Chu Chen, tell me what's going on."
"Princess. Let him go out. It's just a small thing." Although Xiuyue covered up very well, the pain in her eyes was still extremely obvious, and the hand held by Mu Xiyan also trembled slightly.
Mu Xian pressed the hand of the embroidered moon and followed, "That's good. I happen to have something to ask him." With that, she stood up and stared at him after Chu Chenshi. When she went to the door and saw him standing still in place, she couldn't help scolding, "Why don't you come out quickly!"
Chu Chen had to walk out slowly and return to his room. He saw Mu Xilan standing by the window with a bad face and said directly without looking at him, "Chu Chen, your injury is almost healed. I will ask Qin Han to send you out of the capital in a while.
"Xi..." Chu Chen just said a word and felt Mu Xi's indifferent eyes. He quickly changed his mouth, "Princess, I won't leave. How can I get out of the capital as I am now. Some of them sat aside angrily.
"Chu Chen, I don't have so much patience for you to recover here. If Qin Yu suddenly comes back, why do you let me explain?" Mu Xi looked at his childish appearance, and his heart came for a moment, and his tone was inevitably a little bad.
Chu Chen looked at Mu Xiran in a staring way and looked decadent, "You don't want to see me so much and want me to die outside?" He knew that he was a little unreasonable, but he still felt that he was the most injured. He was afraid that Mu XiRAN would say something sad again, so he continued to say urgently,
"Don't worry, the wound is scarred. I will leave by myself."
Mu Xi, who was soft-hearted for a moment, had to nod and asked, "What happened to you and Xiuyue just now?"
