Chapter 79 The Queen's Doubt
A middle-aged woman in palace clothes in the room sat on a chair. After seeing Shen Yuyan come in, she stood up.
"See the Crown Princess."
"Mama Zhang, please sit down quickly."
"Thank you." M Mother Zhang is indeed the person who has been with the queen all year round. Although she is senior, she is respectful and confident to people.
"Today, the queen asked the maidservant to come. There is something to talk to the princess." Mama Zhang is not a linger. She directly put forward her purpose today.
"M Mother Zhang, but it's okay to say it." Shen Yuyan's face was no longer as gloomy as before, but with a very gentle smile.
"In less than half a month, it will be the emperor's birthday. The queen wants to ask the princess what birthday gift you have prepared?"
Shen Yuyan was stunned after listening to Mama Zhang's words. These days, Shen is really upset by Mu Yunting's affairs, and she can't even remember some important things clearly.
If she had prepared such a thing a month in advance, but now she has completely forgotten it! If it hadn't been for Mage Zhang today, she wouldn't know when she would think of this matter!
"Eh, although I have prepared for this matter, I still have to ask Your Highness for details." Shen Yuyan is indeed a person who doesn't blush or breathe when she lies.
Mother Zhang wanted to ask something more, but when she saw that Shen Yuyan didn't want to say too much, she remembered the rumors I heard these days that His Royal Highness began to alienate the crown princess these days and spoiled a woman who had been rejected before. Originally, she didn't believe it, but now she also believes those rumors when she sees Shen Yuyan.
After all, Mother Zhang has been wandering in the palace for so many years, and I don't know how many people have seen. Although Shen Yuyan tried her best to cover it up, she can still see that she is different from before. So she didn't have time to ask more questions. The queen asked her to come today to remind Shen Yuyan not to forget this big event.
"Since the princess has a good plan, the old slave will go back to recover his life." With that, Mother Zhang stood up and walked out.
"Mama Zhang is so anxious. It's time to sit for a while..."
"The empress is still waiting for the old slave to go back to recover. The old slave thanks to the crown princess, and the old slave retreats."
"Fi Yun sent Mother Zhang."
"Yes."
Looking at the back of Mother Zhang leaving, Shen Yuying fell into meditation. These days, she was thinking about how to deal with the people in Zhaoyang Palace. She simply forgot about the emperor's birthday.
"Madam, what gift should I give for the emperor's birthday this year?" As soon as Fei Yun entered the room, he asked Shen Yuhuan, maybe the emperor and the queen would be happy this time, and the prince would treat the queen like before!
"Where are you going to prepare rare treasures for the emperor in the past half a month..." This question is really difficult for her. The emperor has never seen anything good, so the treasure she is looking for must be very special.
"Madam, how about you write a letter to the master and see if he can think about it for you." The master in Feiyun's mouth is Shen Bitian, Shen Yuhuan's father.
"Hm, Dad has been following the emperor for a while. He should know what the emperor likes." At present, she really doesn't have the heart to prepare any gifts. Now Xie Zhiruo's things have annoyed her enough.
"Well, do you want someone to talk to His Royal Highness?" They can't give two kinds of gifts, can they? Isn't this a more solid rumor that they don't have a good relationship now?
"Ye-huh, I'll talk to Your Highness."
After leaving Shen Yuyan's yard, Mama Zhang went straight back to the queen's place to recover.
The queen leaned behind the soft couch, with her eyes slightly closed, and her body was full of a lazy atmosphere. The queen is also well-maintained, but it is slightly inferior to the Jade Noble Concubine. Maybe the mother of a country has too many things to do.
"Empress." As if she was afraid of disturbing the queen, M Mother Zhang called softly after entering the house.
Hearing the sound, the queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mother Zhang. I'm back."
"Yes, the old slave has told the princess about it."
"Oh? What did she say?
"The old slave seemed to be a little absent-minded when he saw that the crown princess seemed to have forgotten this matter." Mother Zhang is the queen, so she will not deliberately help Shen Yuyan hide anything.
"Attentional? I also forgot about this matter!" Speaking of which, the queen's voice was a little harsher.
"Yes."
"Is the rumor outside true that the prince never went to bed in the princess's yard after coming back from the disaster area?" Although the queen usually seems to be busy with things in the palace, in fact, she also pay attention to Mu Yunting's affairs every day.
"The old slave feels that this matter is also uncertain... The old slave heard that the prince raised the daughter of the previous magistrate as a concubine..."
"It's good for Ting'er to have more women. It's been so long since she married Ting'er, but her stomach didn't move at all. Those people dare not say it, but they don't know what to say behind their backs!"
"The old slave also felt strange. It is reasonable that there is no problem with the prince's body. At the beginning, the imperial doctor also diagnosed the prince's pulse and said that there was no problem, but why..." Mother Zhang knew that Mu Yunting's lack of children has always been a problem for the queen. Those emperors younger than Mu Yunting The princes have already had sons and daughters, but Mu Yunting still hasn't moved at all. It's really urgent! Why is there no queen of this prince?
"Oh... none of these two make me worry-free." Mu Yunlei is still imprisoned in the heavenly prison. No one can go in without the order of the emperor and the prince. Even if she is the mother of a country, she can't. Mu Yunlei is also her own child. Now I don't know how uncomfortable it will be to see him suffering so much in the prison, but what he does is really extreme.
I couldn't help sighing in my heart how Mu Yunlei could do such a thing. No matter how much he liked to be angry with Mu Yunting before, he would not do such an extraordinary thing. It really made her unable to figure it out...
Msant Zhang knew that the queen must have remembered Wu Wang Mu Yunlei, who was still in the prison. Whenever she thought of her helpless son, she had such an expression, and the queen's mood would become much lower.
"Mother, this matter has become a forgone conclusion, and your troubles are useless."
"Oh... That's all. As long as this person is still there, it's good."
And on the side of the heavenly prison, Mu Yunting just came out of Mu Yunlei's prison, and a pair of swords frowned, like a hidden fire.
Xiaohuazi followed Mu Yunting in a toweringly battle, for fear that he would take himself as a punching bag if he was unhappy.
The soldiers who guarded the prison bowed their heads and saluted him when they saw Mu Yunting coming out. Mu Yunting ignored it, but the steps on his feet slowed down. When they passed each soldier, their feet seemed to pause deliberately, but finally they walked out of the prison.
Mu Yunlei's cell is in the innermost one, which is very hidden. There is only a small window four or five meters high and a thick iron door in the whole cell. Mu Yunlei's cell is not as dirty and messy as expected. There is a dilapidated table and several chairs in the cell, and there are many books on the table, which should be given. Mu Yunlei spends his time when he has nothing to do. There is also a stone platform with straw mats and thick quilts on it.
At this time, Mu Yunlei curled up in the quilt. Because there was no sunshine in the cell, it was very cold. Only by covering the quilt could he feel better.
At this time, Mu Yunlei did not look as decadent as ordinary people in prison, and he had a very comfortable feeling.
"Even if I can't get out, I can make you angry and half die." Mu Yunlei knew that he was Mu Yunting's biological brother. No matter what, Mu Yunting would not kill him, so he was angry with him when Mu Yunting came, which was also a good way to solve it.
Mu Yunting doesn't know what the purpose is. Anyway, he will come to the prison every other day. Sometimes he stands in the cell and doesn't say anything, and sometimes he asks him some questions. In the end, Mu Yunting is half pissed off by him.
Maybe he thinks it's very interesting. Every time Mu Yunting is angry with him, he will feel much happier. The two of them are like two children who have not grown up and are quarreling. It's just that neither of them wants to admit it.
Sitting on Mu Yunlei felt a little sleepy and planned to lie down and sleep again. Anyway, when he woke up, someone also sent him warm food to eat.
Suddenly, Mu Yunlei heard a slight noise from the door of the cell, frowned slightly, and then raised his eyebrows again. Did Mu Yunting feel that he didn't eat enough just now and came back to continue?
With a smile on the corners of his mouth, he sat up from Shi**.
"What? I don't think I've said enough just now, and now I still want to come back and listen to it?"
After Mu Yunlei said a word, there was no sound in the direction of the door. At this time, Mu Yunlei also frowned doubtfully. Generally, Mu Yunting would come in as long as he came. He never said that he was waiting outside the door or something.
Mu Yunlei has to be vigilant here. His martial arts have been blocked by Mu Yunting. If...
"Who the hell is outside!"
After a sound, there was still no one answering. Mu Yunlei doubted whether he had heard it wrong. After all, the movement just now was not big. Maybe it was a mouse or something. Thinking of this, he also relaxed his vigilance a little.
And just as Mu Yunlei relaxed his guard, there was a sound at the prison door again.
"I'm here to deliver food."
This is a strange voice, because his meal has always been sent by Mu Yunting. He knew that those were Mu Yunting, so he ate the meal at ease every time.
But the voice of the delivery person this time is different from that of the two people before, and according to the usual delivery time, it now takes half an hour in the morning. Mu Yunlei had to be on guard again.
The sound of unlocking sounded, and Mu Yunlei quietly disappeared into an empty space in the middle of the stone bed. The stone bed was a little smaller than the bed he had slept in before, and it had a certain height. At that time, in order to ensure his safety, Mu Yunting asked people to dig out the bed out of a person's empty space. Before that, he felt that Mu It's ridiculous for Yunting to do this, but now it may really save his life!
Hidden in the stone bed, Mu Yunlei hid his breath. He couldn't see the situation outside and did not dare to act rashly. If it was Mu Yunting's person outside, he would go out to call someone if he found that he was missing, but if it was the killers who wanted to assassinate him, it would be different!
"Where have people gone!"
"I heard the voice inside just now!"
The person's voice was very low, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that he did not come in openly.
"Damn it, look for it. It should be here!"
"But this place is so big. Where can he hide?"
The two of them were really confused about Mu Yunlei's wheres. They just heard Mu Yunlei's voice clearly just now. How can they say that they are gone now?
Although Mu Yunlei can't see the movement outside, he can still hear it. He didn't expect that someone really wanted to assassinate him. It seems that Mu Yunting's protective measures are not enough. Isn't it a loophole?
"Since you two are here by yourself, you have saved a lot of things for me."
Suddenly, Mu Yunting's voice sounded in Lao Nei. Two people in black were shocked when they heard the words. Mu Yunting actually found them! How can this be? They are so hidden!
The two men in black couldn't see where Mu Yunting was at all, but they could clearly hear his voice.
"Do you surrender yourself or let my people do it?" Mu Yunting's voice sounded in the cell again, very cold, like a hell messenger from the Shura field.
"Well, since you're here, there's no reason to surrender!" The two men in black are also backbone. They would rather die than surrender.
As soon as the man in black fell, Mu Yunting's voice came in through the prison door, and several people quickly fought together.
The knife rises and falls, and the blood shines to the sky...
The two men were very good at kung fu. They killed two people from Mu Yunting, and it took a lot of effort to capture them alive.
Mu Yunting slowly walked in through the prison door, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and his eyes looked at the two people coldly.
"You are so bold that you dare to break into the prison!"
"I'm also curious about how His Royal Highness knew that we would come today." He always felt that the two of them were very secretive. How could he be known by Mu Yunting?
"I have my own way to take them down and 'serve' well!"
After everyone went out, Mu Yunting said coldly, "What, are you going to be here in the future?"
Mu Yunlei in the stone bed knew that he was saved, but he did not come out in time, because only he, Mu Yunting and Mu Yunting's confidants knew the secret of the stone bed. This was used to save his life. The fewer people knew, the better.
After everyone left, Mu Yunlei jumped out of the stone bed.
"It's comfortable here. I like it!"
He ignored Mu Yunlei's attitude, because Mu Yunting knew that as long as he fought with him, he would be angry to death.
"In the future, you should pay attention to it. You will live your life and die. Think about it yourself."
After saying that, Mu Yunting did not wait for Mu Yunlei's answer, so he walked out of the cell, and the cell door was quickly closed.
As soon as he came out of the cell, Mu Yunting's face was even more gloomy. The reason why he knew about this was that he felt a murderous atmosphere and a very faint smell of ecstas when he walked out of the door of the cell and passed the column of soldiers. At that time, he became suspicious. In order to ensure Mu Yunlei's safety, he turned back after walking out of the cell. Go back.
Sure enough, someone really wants to assassinate that guy today!
"Oh, Your Highness... Where are you going back?"
"Let's go back to Zhaoyang Palace."
"Yes."
After learning that there was something wrong with the blood swallow lotus seed soup given to her by Shen Yujuan, Xie Zhiruo felt very upset, so the next day she returned to her original yard early. She wanted to come here to be quiet, and only after seeing the herbs she planted herself would she feel a little relieved.
"I didn't expect you to come back to this place in the early morning." Mu Yunchen came to Zhaoyang Palace after getting off the early morning. He didn't know why it seemed that there was something more to attract him. In this way, he couldn't help walking to Xie Zhiruo's Xilan Courtyard, but Yuexi said that Xie Zhiruo had returned to the previous yard early, so he came here.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Xie Zhiruo squatting in the yard, and unconsciously brought a beautiful smile at the corners of her mouth.
The fourth prince? How did you get to this place?" Xie Zhiruo was very surprised to hear Mu Yunchen's voice. How did he come here? This is so strange!
"Well, it's just to walk around the prince's Zhaoyang Palace when I have nothing to do, so I happen to come here and want to come in and have a look."
"Ye-huh." Xie Zhiruo answered with a smile.
"What are you fiddling with? Did you grow it yourself?" Mu Yunchen looked at Xie Zhiruo, who was full of dirt, and asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm really happy to see them grow up!"
"Can they really grow up on such a cold day?" In Mu Yunchen's impression, it seems that there are very few plants that can survive in winter, let alone medicinal herbs.
"Ha ha... I have a magic weapon!" With that, Xie Zhiruo stood up and took the flower pot in her hand and walked to her planting room.
Mu Yunchen also followed her curiously. As soon as she entered the room, there was a heating oncoming, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no charcoal fire in the room at all. And the interior decoration is very strange.
"How can this room be so warm? And there is no charcoal fire yet?"
"Ha ha... It's like this..." Xie Zhiruo told Mu Yunchen in detail about her modification of this room.
After hearing this, Mu Yunchen was very surprised. Thinking that Xie Zhiruo could come up with such a method, how many men who thought they were smart would not think of it. Thinking that Xie Zhiruo is the one who made the medicine to treat the plague, although her opinion is even more different.
Looking at Xie Zhiruo's little face illuminated by the sun, Mu Yunchen had a strange feeling in his heart.
