Chapter 158 People's Heart
Hearing Duanmu Lingyu's words, Mu Qingya was stunned. His fingers suddenly tightened, and his nails pinched his fingers with a slight tingling pain: "You know?"
Dangmu Lingyu's eyes remained unchanged, still looking at Mu Qingya gently, comforting the sudden uneasiness in her heart: "Qingya, although I don't know how much you have hidden in your heart, I don't want to explore it. I just hope you don't block me out so indifferently. You haven't tried it. How do you know? Can't I accompany you to the end? I know that you don't like the complexity and darkness of the royal family, but I was born here. I have no choice. Don't refuse me just because of this, okay?
Mu Qingya lowered her eyes, her body slowly relaxed, and the sour feeling in her heart became more obvious: "You don't have to do this. You are now a prince of a country. Such a move is too rude. Get up." Duanmu Lingyu's identity is high, so squatting in front of her gives her a strange sense of discord. In the royal family, he has been an extremely noble identity since childhood. Such action is no different from kowtending. How can his dignity allow him to do so...
Duanmu Lingyu smiled gently: "Qingya, I have never been Duanmu Lingyu in front of you, let alone a prince. Have you forgotten? I once said that you can call me the word?"
A long-lost name came to my mind, and Mu Qingya muttered gently: "Jinghong..."
A smile suddenly bloomed, and Duanmu Lingyu smiled brightly like a summer flower. The warm halo gradually rendered his eyes from the bottom of his eyes: "I didn't expect you to remember. I thought you forgot..."
Mu Qingya shook her head and pulled back her hands. This time, Duanmu Lingyu did not stop him: "It's getting late. I'm going back. You have a lot of things to do next. Pay more attention to the third prince."
Aware that she didn't want to continue talking, Duanmu Lingyu was not reluctant. Now she has obviously loosened a little. At this time, it's better not to force her too tightly, otherwise it will be counterproductive: "Qingya, it's very late now. I have made arrangements for the Mu family. You can rest here tonight. Let's go."
Looking at the sky outside, Mu Qingya nodded: "It's okay."
After Duanmu Lingyu left, Leqi quickly came in to serve Mu Qingya and freshen up: "Miss, please rest early. His Royal Highness has already arranged to send Miss back tomorrow."
"Well, I see. Is there any news from the house?"
"Weiyi just sent people and maidservants to talk that the master, wife and young master are all safe and have not been disturbed, but the eldest lady and the second lady have not been found yet. The prince has secretly sent people to look for it, but I don't know why, there is no news yet.
Mu Qingya rubbed her eyebrows: "Pay more attention and let me know as soon as you get the news." Looking at the bedside embroidered with exquisite patterns, he sighed slightly. Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling... I didn't expect that they would still make trouble. I guess it would make Mu Yizhi sad again this time. Originally, he had found a mother-in-law's house for them in Linjiang City. Although the other party's family status was not very prominent, it was a rare harmony. She also asked Leqi to investigate. There is nothing to be picky about and is completely worthy of them, but people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Her two sisters have never been willing to succumb to others! If you want to climb up but don't have the corresponding capital, the result can only fall miserably.
At this time, the Weiyang Palace was still brightly lit. Duanmu Mingzhu sat in the center of the hall and heard the maid's report, and her face turned pale for a short time: "What are you saying? What do you think the eldest brother was cut off his arm by Duanmu Lingfeng? So where is the eldest brother now? Does it matter?"
"Princess, the eldest prince was taken away by the seven princes."
"What? Do you mean Duanmu Lingyu? Lao Qi?" Princess Pearl sat in her seat and couldn't help trembling. She didn't expect that the unruly fantasy would flap at the last moment, "Where's the second prince? How are they doing now?
"According to the princess, the second prince was shot by Major General Hou, and the third prince was not injured, but the emperor banned them all. Now the situation is unknown, and..." The maid bit her lower lip and didn't know whether she should tell the most amazing news.
Duanmu Mingzhu obviously didn't have much patience. She suddenly got up and kicked the chest of the maid of honor: "What else do you have to say quickly!"
The severe pain almost made the maid faint, but at this time, she didn't dare. If she really can't stand it, her life was explained. She quickly got up and knelt down again and suppressed the bloody smell that had reached her throat: "The emperor took the power of the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince, and banned it separately, but it was sealed. The sixth prince is the prince of Germany, and the seventh prince is... the prince..."
Boom! Duanmu Mingzhu only felt that there were countless thunderbolt in her ears, which shocked her instantly, and her mind was full of a sentence. The seventh prince was the crown prince... The seventh prince was the crown prince... How could that the humble old seven be awarded the crown prince? His mother is a woman of unknown origin. How can such a humble origin be awarded the title of crown prince of a country? Is it absolutely impossible for his father to be confused? If Lao Qi is the prince, then what about her eldest brother? Her eldest brother Duanmu Lingyun is the eldest son, and behind him is supported by the whole Hou Gongfu. Duan Muling Even if Yu became a prince, he only knew how to govern the country, and he was not directly plowed by those princes and ministers!
"Come on, go to your mother's harem!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Duanmu Mingzhu's voice fell, a maid of honor quickly came forward to help her up, and the group hurried to Hou Xinlan's queen's palace.
"Queen Mother!" Duanmu Mingzhu pushed away the palace man who supported her and quickly ran into the queen's bedroom, with tears in her eyes, "Mother, what are you doing?" Entering the bedroom, she saw Hou Xinlan sitting on the couch, holding a fiery wedding dress in her hand. Under the light, the phoenix embroidered on the wedding dress seemed to break free from the bondage and fly out. The shining feathers were lifelike and beautiful.
Hearing the voice of Duanmu Mingzhu, Hou Xinlan raised her head as if she was frightened: "Why did you come here?"
"Queen Mother, haven't you heard of it? Brother, something has happened. Think of a way!" Thinking of the eldest prince, Duanmu Mingzhu was not surprised and quickly said to the queen in a shrill voice.
Hou Xinlan frowned and frowned coldly: "You came here so late for this?"
Princes Pearl was stunned: "Mother, there is something wrong with the eldest brother. Have you heard that the eldest brother was cut off an arm by Duanmu Lingfeng? Up to now, his life and death are uncertain. How can I not be in a hurry?"
Hou Xinlan's eyes suddenly shrank, but finally suppressed her emotions slowly: "I know. You go back first. I'll deal with this matter."
"Queen Mother!" Duanmu Mingzhu looked at Hou Xinlan in disbelief. Her eyebrows were calm, as if it was not her own son whose life and death were uncertain. Such performance made it difficult for her to accept for a moment. "Mother, the eldest brother has an accident. He is your own son, and now Duanmu Lingyu is crowned as the crown prince, which is a big Brother's position, he grabbed the eldest brother's position, so what else will happen to the eldest son of the eldest brother?
Hou Xinlan frowned because of the noise: "Go back to your palace. You can't interfere in this matter. Come and send the princess back to the palace."
Duanmu Mingzhu suddenly pushed away the maid who came to ask her back to the palace, stepped forward, pulled off the bright red wedding dress in Hou Xinlan's hand, threw it on the ground and grabbed her hand: "Mother, did you hear..."
"Bang!"
A loud applause interrupted her, Duanmu Mingzhu came to her senses coldly, and the hot feeling on her face reminded her of the fact that she had just been beaten.
Hou Xinlan hurried forward to pick up the wedding dress on the ground and carefully checked whether there was any damage on it.
"Mother..." Duanmu Mingzhu looked at Hou Xinlan with hatred. She didn't expect that Hou Xinlan would slap her in the face at this time. Isn't she her mother? Shouldn't she try her best to fish out the eldest brother now? Why is she looking at a meaningless wedding dress? The grief and indignation in his heart could no longer be controlled. He pulled off Hou Xinlan's wedding dress as a baby, threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his feet: "What is this? Isn't it just an old dress? What is worth cherishing so much? Clothes are important or people are important. The eldest brother is about to die. You are not in a hurry. Do you really have to wait for others to put the knife around your neck before you start to be afraid?
The M Mother beside him quickly came forward and pulled away the wooden pearl: "Princess, no, it's impossible!"
Hou Xinlan was silent for a long time, took a look at the hysterical Duanmu Pearl and said coldly, "The princess is not in good health. Take her down to have a good rest."
"Mother queen, mother queen..." Duanmu Mingzhu was pulled out, and her screaming voice was full of panic and unwillingness, and there was no demeanor that a princess of a country should have.
waved to the palace people to slowly withdraw. The calmness on Hou Xinlan's face slowly disappeared, and her eyes turned slightly red, but there was no tear flowing out. She slowly squatted down and looked at the wedding dress on the ground: "In the end, you won. Ha ha, Zhenfei, you should be happy now. You see, your son is finally still Let that ruthless man choose to be the heir. You are very proud underground now. Ha ha, it's just the beginning. I'd like to see if that man really put you in his heart!"
The candlelight reflected on Hou Xinlan's face, casting her beautiful face into layers of shadows. In the empty palace, only her soft muttering echoed with a chilly voice. A trace of strange atmosphere permeated the hall, like a wedding dress without any stains on the ground, bright red color There was a layer of blood, as if it heralded the coming unrest...
