Chapter 095 Acacia 5
Ten days later, Li Shimin was ordered to send troops to fight against Liu Heiyu. The day before the dispatch of the army, Princess Qin set up a special family banquet to send Li Shimin to the expedition and wish him victory.
This banquet is the first time I have seen Li Shimin in so many days. He is in the main seat, and I arrange it according to the position, and the seat is opposite him. Princess Qin beside him picked up vegetables and plucked shrimp shells for him. He smiled gently at her from time to time, and the scene was so unhappy and warm. There was a sour smell in his heart and drank a few glasses of water. Wei Zhaoxun beside him suddenly smiled softly: "This room is really warm!"
The meaning of this sentence was so obvious that everyone looked at Li Shimin and Princess Qin with a smile, and I had to reluctantly pull the most natural smile to greet them. Princess Qin blushed and covered her smile and said, "The weather is warm. Why did you start talking about it now?"
It was originally warm... Although Princess Qin said it unintentionally, she only pointed to the weather in August, but it was a little harsh to me. I quietly looked at Li Shimin again. He was holding Princess Qin's hand with a smile, and the two looked at each other and smiled. I was sad. Since the return of the East Palace, Li Shimin has not seen me again. Now that he sees me, he does not look up. I even feel that his treatment with Princess Qin, the most normal husband and wife, was intentional by me, and I can only comfort myself like this.
At the end of the home banquet, it's time for everyone to go back to their own palace. I was cold and wanted to leave. Li Shimin suddenly said, "Mo Zhaoxun and Mu Fengyi will stay for the time being."
With his words, I turned around and walked back, but I didn't dare to look straight at it. Because this was the family banquet before Li Shimin went to war, Mu Yan, who did not go out of the world, finally appeared in my sight. She looked back and forth nervously in the hall. The maid of honor put on a pot of hot tea and retreated. Li Shimin sat on the chair casually, fiddling with the lid of the teapot and asked, "I heard that Mu Fengyi hasn't personally met Mo Zhaoxun?"
Mu Yan stretched out her finger and raised her head slightly and said, "My concubine is not feeling well these days and has neglected this matter." She turned around and blessed me, "Please don't worry about Mo Zhaoxun."
I nodded slightly and still stood still in place. The eyes above fell on me, which made my mind quite tight. Li Shimin finally said softly, "You are not in good health. Don't just drink water and eat soup. How can you be healthy? I'm leaving Chang'an for a while tomorrow. Don't let me worry about what you can do well.
"Yes." I nodded to Mu Yan and responded. Li Shimin waved his hand to signal that we could leave. There was another touch of loss in his heart. He looked deeply through the hot air of the curling teapot and moved sadly.
"Wait a minute." Li Shimin suddenly said a word. When he turned around again, he had quickly walked to Mu Yan and reached out and touched her waist. On his fingers, there was a red rope, and a transparent jade pendant was tied at the end. I immediately recognized the jade pendant. It was not the one I carried with me. How could it be with Muyan? I thought about it carefully. Since I stayed in Li Shimin Hall that day, I didn't pay much attention to it because of my mood and physical discomfort. Before that, I always thought it was in a brocade box of mine.
"I know this." Li Shimin glanced at me and looked at Mu Yan, "Isn't this Mo Zhaoxun? Why is it on you?" Mu Yan suddenly changed her face and knelt on the ground with a pale face: "Yes... It was given to me by Mo Zhaoxun. It's none of my concubine's business! I didn't do anything irregular!"
The sharp eyes turned to me, and a painful sudden. At this time, an eunuch bent in from the door of the palace and stood not far away to remind him, "Your Highness, the emperor urges you to play chess in the two halls."
Li Shimin clenched the jade pendant tightly and stared at Muyan, who had already been scared to kneel on the ground. "P!" Yupei stayed at the table, and the back he left was so angry and determined.
I turned around, Mu Yan looked at me in panic, knelt down and hugged my leg and cried, "Sister, you know, according to Your Highness's temper, if I don't say so, I will definitely not live!" After asking her in person, I shook my head and said, "I don't care about this with you. I was born from Shang Pharmacy, and I can see that you are in good health. You said, why do you pretend to be sick?" With a sharp look, I fixedly looked at her and whispered, "Don't try to hide anything from me. Is she here?"
Muyan suddenly looked up and immediately understood who I was referring to. She held my legs tighter and cried: "Sister, I can't help it. I'm innocent. She forced me to do it!" I pushed her away and stood away from her, coldly: "Forcing you? What can she force you with, and what can you make her force you!"
She shook her lips, hesitated for a moment, choked and whispered, "She said that if I didn't listen to her, I would... kill me!" She climbed a few more steps towards me, with her wide eyes frightened and ignorant, "You know, she is very powerful!"
What a silly girl. Ye Ying took her away first and brought her into the palace. How could she kill her without success? Moreover, Muyan is already the Fengyi of Chengqian Hall. Won't anyone check if she died like this? How could Ye Ying do such a stupid thing? If you want to blame, you can only blame. Mu Yan has not been in the palace for a few days. Except for not letting herself die, she won't think so much at all.
I sighed silently and asked calmly, "Tell me, what does she want you to do?"
Muyan held her mouth and didn't say anything, lowered her head and turned her eyes, very hesitant. I went forward to pick up the jade pendant and put it in the palm of my hand and said solemnly, "You just told Your Highness that this jade pendant was given to you, but I didn't admit it. If I deny it at this time... as you said, I will not be able to live. On the contrary, if you are instructed, this damn person will naturally not be you.
Mu Yan knelt on the ground and grasped the corner of her clothes tightly, biting her lower lip repeatedly, as if she was a little moved. I said again, "Don't say I won't help you. You should learn to help yourself. You have to figure it out."
After saying that, I tightened the jade pendant in my sleeve and walked out of the palace door. Wait!" There was a shout behind her, with a nervous and rude tone of panic, "She wants me to deal with you. She said that she wants you to be born in the same roof but can't meet each other calmly, and she wants you to hurt each other enough. But I don't understand. I don't understand why I do this, so I'm afraid to see you.
"Because she hates me and Your Highness." With a long sadness, I said with a smile. Why is this? It's not because she can't get the reward she's always wanted. It's not because of the word "affec" that she has done so much. She's really crazy!
Mu Yan still knelt on the ground and cried: "Sister, I told you everything. What do you think I should do?
I reached out and helped her up, took her arm and broke it down: "You are now from Chengqian Hall, and she can't threaten you at all. I, Your Highness and even the emperor will make the decision for you, so you don't have to be afraid of her at all. I paused and said, "There must be a notification signal between you. Get her tonight and I'll help you."
Muyan nodded hard, immediately went back to the hall to send a signal in the dark, and told me that Ye Ying would appear in two hours. I also told her that Ye Ying would have to sing against her what she said at that time. After she left, I went back to the hall and called Mo Yan, a maid who knows some words, to write a sentence on the note, and then sent someone to quietly send it to the East Palace.
Two hours later, I said that it was sultry in the hall and I wanted to walk outside alone. The palace eunuchs in the hall will definitely follow me. I saw that it was dark. They were also worried about my safety and their responsibilities, so they had to allow Qinger to follow alone. In the palace, except for Nian'er, the second person who can talk is Qing'er.
I and Muyan's bedroom are separated by a yard. I stood in the courtyard and pretended to take a deep breath of the aura of the night, but quietly looked at the window on the Muyan Hall. The candlelight on the window flashed for a long time without any abnormality, and I couldn't help but feel nervous and worried. Suddenly, the candlelight of the window flashed, a scream cut through the night sky, and several tables and stools turned over from the bedroom over there.
At the same time, a figure flashed into the low wall behind me, and I smiled and picked tender leaves in my hand. Qing'er was even more surprised to see that I was not panicked. Seeing that the candlelight of the window no longer shook, I turned around and said to Qinger, "You wait here. I'll go in and see the evening ceremony."
I stepped on the porch and pushed open the door of Muyan's bedroom. I saw her sitting on the ground with a red mark on her neck. Looking further to the side, there is another person.
Xue Wanche looked at me in shock. I strode forward and smiled, "I just heard a sound from the Mufengyi Hall that I came here. Now I have seen... What scared Mu Fengyi must have been driven away by General Xue."
Xue Wanche stood still, his eyes moved, and obviously suddenly understood the whole incident. I smiled at him: "General Xue has really contributed to helping me inherit the peace of the Qian Hall. Wait for me to ask Princess Qin again..." "No!" Xue Wanche interrupted me anxiously, "Protecting the peace of every part of the palace is what the last general should have done. Mo Zhaoxun doesn't have to be so polite."
"That's good work." I nodded with a smile and watched him jump out of the other window.
Xue Wanche has a deep affection for Ye Ying. I ordered someone to leave a note about Ye Ying in Xue Wanche's room. Whether it is true or not, he will definitely take the position of patrol to wander near Chengqian Hall. After abandoning the opportunity to ask for credit, he didn't want to arouse Donggong's suspicion of him. In this way, it was solved unconsciously, and it was also a missing thing in the palace.
Urgent footsteps came from outside the corridor. I quickly helped Muyan lean her against the couch, covered her from her neck with bedding, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "What's wrong with you, the people in the hall? Why don't you wait by the hall? If such a situation happens again today, you don't have to stay in Chengqian Hall!"
Several maids rushed into the palace door and knelt on the ground and hit Muyan one after another: "I know what's wrong, which scares Mu Fengyi!"
