Chapter 337 Invitation to the Second Prince
Seeing Mu Qingya come out, Le Qi quickly followed and returned to Jing Ningxuan, and the two spoke.
Leqi: "Miss, the news came from the dark guard that this invitation was decided by Han Lingying herself. The dark guard went to the suburbs of the hunting city she said. The place was densely covered with trees, leaning against a mountain range, and it was very easy to set up an ambush. And there seems to be a lot of people walking there recently.
Mu Qingya nodded: "I see. Don't say anything about this matter. Let's remind Princess Mingli later that she should know how to be measured.
Le Qi nodded quickly: "Yes, miss. I'm going now."
Mu Qingya sat in a chair and thought about the invitation. The second prince's invitation was obviously intentional, but was she really not afraid of being poked out of this matter? He looks fearless, as if he is not afraid of anything.
"Elegance." A hoarse voice remembered, which made Mu Qingya immediately come to her senses, and then there was an additional figure in the hall.
"Junqing, you're here." Seeing Mo Junqing appear, Mu Qingya was a little nervous. When she said those words to him last time, she had been worried and didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to find herself.
Compared with a few days ago, Mo Junqing's figure is getting thinner and thinner, with a trace of tiredness on her handsome face, and her usual resolute eyes are also stained with some sadness: "I'm here to tell you that you should be careful of Han Lingying. She seems to have made some movements recently."
Mu Qingya nodded: "I know, you mean the invitation, right?"
Mo Junqing smiled bitterly: "It seems that I'm nosy. Since you know it, I won't say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and walked out. In fact, he also knew in his heart that Qingya was definitely on guard against such a thing. He just wanted to find an excuse to look at her. Originally, he thought that he would walk away at a glance and no longer add burden to her, but after this glance, what inspired him was more and more greed in his heart. How much he wanted to hold her in his arms. It's a pity to accompany her all her life...
Looking at the resolute and heartbreaking back, Mu Qingya frowned and said coldly, "Junqing, without the first princess of Lanling, you are still the powerful general of the country. Without Mu Qingya, you are still the third prince."
Mo Junqing stopped and turned his head to look at Mu Qingya's cold face. For a while, all kinds of emotions were mixed. For a long time, the corners of his cold lips rose slightly, and the tiredness on his face swept away. Yes, didn't he make up his mind a long time ago? How can you let yourself be decadent because of your elegant determination? What qualifications do you have to guard her side? He really drilled into the tip of the horns before. Isn't it just a Duanmu Lingyu? He is an emperor, so he can also become an emperor, can't he? At that time, it is really uncertain who will kill the deer.
"Qingya, I was paranoid before. You won't be angry with me, will you?" Mo Junqing came back and was on the chair next to Mu Qingya, with a warm temperature in his eyes.
Seeing Mo Junqing's performance, Mu Qingya was stunned. She didn't expect that he would suddenly change his attitude. Seeing the sincere smile in his eyes, Mu Qingya smiled. Anyway, he could think about it, so that he could rest assured.
"How can I be angry."
Mo Junqing's eyes bent, and his already excellent appearance became more and more beautiful because of his soft smile: "by the way, when it comes to this invitation, it suddenly occurred to me that some time ago, I killed several servants in the house, as if it was because they moved my private seal." Some time ago, he was in a bad mood and found that the private seal was passive, so he asked the housekeeper to investigate, and then killed a few people. The time was about the same as when the invitation was sent. Will there be any connection to this matter?
Mu Qingya restrained her eyes and thought about it, private seal...
"I think... I have always wondered why the second princess dares to hold such a wild hunt. Does she want to put such a disrespectful charge of filial piety on your head?"
Mo Junqing was stunned: "This invitation was clearly sent by her. What does it have to do with me?"
"What if the seal on the invitation is changed?" Mu Qingya raised her eyes and asked.
"Change the seal? This is even more impossible. The invitation has the name written on it..." Mo Junqing stopped suddenly and thought quickly. "It seems that the name of the invitee is not written on the invitation. I remember that I was surprised at that time, and then I heard that the servants who came to send the invitation were sent by the second imperial concubine. Look at the second emperor on it. The mark of Zifu has not been asked again. Ordinary people will not carefully investigate the details of the invitation, let alone us.
Mu Qingya smiled, and her cold eyes were full of sharpness: "So that's it. It seems that the second prince and concubine really designed a good play. This period of filial piety is very disrespectful. Now that the queen has passed away and the emperor is seriously ill. If this happens, I'm afraid you will be imprisoned forever as the third prince."
Mo Junqing smiled coldly: "It's really worthy of the second imperial sister-in-law. Such a way can be figured out. In this case, let's cooperate with her well."
Seeing that he had an idea, Mu Qingya did not ask more, but let him prepare.
Because Mo Ao's health is not good, it is even more unlucky to handle the funeral at this time. Mo Ao proposed to simplify the funeral, which did not cause too much opposition in the court. Originally, because the prince was rejected, the officials also noticed something wrong. Now the queen suddenly passed away, and the palace only said that she died suddenly, and they also listened in privately. Tell some rumors that everything in the Queen's Palace has been burned together.
On the surface, it is said that she is afraid that the Empress is not used to using it in the sky, but she has never heard of such a custom. How strange it looks at it, as if the things used by the queen have been taboo. The more so, the more they dare to delve into it. The emperor has said it, they just listen to it.
Therefore, the beautiful Queen Han was desolate after her death, saying that she was buried with the queen's etiquette, but the honor guard didn't even look comparable to the specifications of the noble concubine. He was hurriedly buried after only three days of suspension.
Mu Qingya naturally attended Han Xilian's funeral. That day, the guards in Shangyu Palace were killed with sticks, and all the maids and slaves in the queen's palace were martyred. Now there is only one noble concubine left except her. Looking at the way everyone cried, Mu Qingya felt very funny. I'm afraid Han Xilian didn't expect that there was no one who really cried for her.
After the queen's funeral, the day when the second princess invited her to participate in the hunting soon came. Leqi helped Mu Qingya change into a light crimson riding suit, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Miss, you are really not like this. Usually, I only see you wearing a Luo skirt, and I have never seen you riding suit. You look really amazing and heroic."
Mu Qingya looked at her with a smile: "You are getting sweeter and sweeter, but I have nothing to reward you, Miss."
"I don't want any reward. I just told the truth. Miss Yuhan is the first beauty, and she is unmatched in Canglan." Leqi said with bright eyes.
Mu Qingya smiled more and more brilliantly: "Well, girl, go and prepare quickly. I'm going to your lady's appointment. There will be no good party. I don't know what will happen this time?"
"Miss, don't worry, the maidservant has been arranged. No matter how the second princess is designing, she will certainly not be involved in the young lady. This time, let's give her a cruel one. Anyway, she is the remnants of Nanzhao, and this time I will give her a big gift."
Mu Qingya looked at the increasingly gorgeous appearance in the bronze mirror and went to the dressing table and took out the pearl hairpin that had been in the morning sun. It was the queen who rewarded her and later used Mother Liu to frame her. However, the poison in the handle of the hairpin had been replaced by her.
Slowly inserted the bead hairpin into the dark cloud-like hair, and his eyes flashed slightly: "Han Lingying, as a reply, it's really time to give you a big gift."
Mu Qingya and Princess Mingli took a carriage to Han Lingying's deal. In the car, Duanmu Mingli's expression was a little pale. Mu Qingya couldn't help asking, "Is the princess not feeling well?"
Duanmu Mingli looked up at Mu Qingya, and a complex and indistinguishable light flashed in her eyes: "Nothing, it's just that I was greedy and used some cold food yesterday, and my appetite was a little uncomfortable."
Seeing the emotion in her eyes, Mu Qingya was stunned and couldn't figure out how Duanmu Mingli looked at herself with such complicated eyes.
After a long time, Duanmu Mingli said again, "Qingya, do you have a good relationship with the third prince?"
Mu Qingya pinched the grape's fingers and paused: "Didn't I tell the princess last time? It's quite good. Why did the princess ask this?"
"Nothing, I just heard something," Duan Mu Mingli clenched her handkerchief, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes. For a while, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Mu Qingya, with a decisive tone, "Qingya, I heard that the third prince had intended to marry you, but you didn't agree?"
Mu Qingya raised her eyes and stared at Duanmu Mingli. Seeing that although her eyes were unhappy and worried, there was no haze and darkness, she was slightly relieved: "Since the princess said it so frankly, Qingya did not hide it. Although there are some things that are inconvenient to tell the princess, Junqing and I are old acquaintances, and it is even more right and wrong. Good friends, there is nothing else between us. If you choose him, then you must accept this.
Duanmu Mingli lowered her head with an indescribable look on her face. For a long time, she raised her head and looked at Mu Qingya with a light in her eyes: "I have long figured out that I don't have much choice in the royal family. The choice of the third prince is also because he is the most suitable for several princes. Since I have chosen power, I don't care about anything else. As long as I can get the rights and honors I want, nothing else doesn't matter.
Hearing this, Mu Qingya was stunned for a long time and couldn't help smiling with admiring: "I admire the princess to think so."
