118 is extremely attentive to a common girl
When they returned to the capital, the two obviously slowed down a lot and took a day and a half.
Back to Kunning Palace, Mu Xiyan went back to the room first. Before he sat down for a break, he heard Nianhua say, "Miss, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Shi Feiyu, the fourth master of the Shi family, was just dismissed and taken to prison yesterday.
Shi Feiyu is the youngest concubine of the Shi family, and because he has been idle since he was a child, he has never been liked by the ancestors of the Shi family. Later, Shi Feiyu entered the military department because of the relationship of the Shi family and became a small official from the fifth grade.
More importantly, Shi Feiyu has always been to the Chu family, and even Shi Feiyu's second son has a close relationship with Chu Luo. This made Mu Xilan think of why Qin Yu specially took her out of the capital.
"Do you know why you were dismissed?" Mu Xian leaned back and took a sip of tea.
"I heard that it is a sales official. After the emperor knew that his face was ugly for two consecutive days, the empress also specially asked the maidservant to make the emperor's favorite almond porridge and went to the Qianqing Palace. Only then did the emperor feel a little relieved. The tone of reading Chinese is full of anger.
Mu Xilan rubbed the teacup with her fingers and asked, "Who is the fold on it?"
"It's Lord Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Public Affairs." Nianhua took a look at Mu Xilan's look, carefully leaned over and lowered his tone, "The maidservant also heard that after yesterday's morning, he went out of the palace. The second master of Shi's mansion was ready to punch Lord Su. Fortunately, several ministers were present at that time and stopped him."
"Yes, the second master of the Shi family and the fourth master of the Shi family are brothers, and it is understandable to do so. It's just that... It's really puzzling that Lord Su is so disrespectful to the Shi family. This is not Su Linhua's style of doing things. Mu Xi Ran turned his head and saw the busy figure of Xigu outside the window and immediately got up.
"I should go to the Queen's place."
In the main hall, Xichun was pounding the queen's calves. The queen lay on her side with her eyes close, and her face was still very kind.
"Xi'an paid homage to the Empress, and I hope the Empress will punish her." Mu Xian lowered his eyes and bent his knees before he got up.
The queen opened her eyes and waved her hand to make Xichun retreat aside. "Get up quickly. King Jing'an disappeared with you for two days, and something happened in this dynasty. Even if I didn't guess, I knew that this was Qin Yu's means.
Mu Xiran was slightly stunned, "Xiran... I don't understand."
"Qin Yu is protecting you." The tone of this sentence was soft and gentle, and the queen motioned Mu Xi to come and help her, "Accompany me to the Peony Garden." I may not have seen the peonies in this garden for a long time.
Mu Xilan stepped forward a few steps and helped the Empress get up. "Empress, you'd better solve the puzzle for Xilan."
"The relationship between the Shi family and the Chu family is obviously not good, but everyone knows that the relationship between Shi Feiyu, the fourth master of the Shi family, and the Chu family is secretly good, and it is also a secret hand for the Chu family to the military department. Excluding Shi Feiyu is equivalent to removing the power of the Chu family in the military headquarters. Now, do you understand?" The queen smiled at the corners of her mouth.
"But this has nothing to do with Xiren, it's just a matter related to the interests of officials." Mu Xilan didn't believe that Qin Yu was for himself.
"If it is a simple official interest, there is no need for Qin Yu to be so anxious to move Shi Feiyu. After all, the four families are still check and balanced with each other. Once the interests of one side are moved, the other three families are bound to watch, and the situation will be beyond expectations. Moreover, Qin Yu has never been interested in the Chu family. Now that he is willing to take action, it shows that the Chu family has been targeted by him.
The queen said so slowly that Mu Xian completely believed it and couldn't help rolling up the corners of her lips, "Isn't the Empress angry?"
Hearing this, the queen was just a little stunned, and then understood what she meant. Qin Yu did nothing more than put the Su family in a dangerous situation, and the queen just shook her head, "I don't want to care about the Su family anymore."
When she came to the still gorgeous blooming peony flowers, there was no faint melancholy in the queen's eyes.
Mu Xilang looked around for a week and found the woman sitting in the peony pavilion. Her white and beautiful face was still a little pale, her eyebrows were like snow, and her red lips were wrapped in a shallow smile, so her head sat quietly on the red pillar without saying anything.
"Mother, isn't that the noble moon?"
When the queen heard the words, she followed her eyes and took her to the Peony Pavilion.
In the pavilion, Yue Guiren heard the footsteps, raised his eyes and glanced at them. He hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Knock to see the Empress."
The queen walked over and held Yue's hand in person and took her to sit down. "A miscarriage is equivalent to a woman's confinement. How can you run out without caring about your body? It's enough for you to regret hurting your body in the future."
"Aunt..." Yue Guiren shouted, only to find that she had lost her mouth and quickly changed her words, "Mother... I want to plead for the second sister and beg her to let the second sister come out."
The Empress raised her eyebrows as soon as she heard it and sneered in her heart, "I'm afraid Mrs. Su asked you to plead for mercy. I know that she is the only one in the world who is so cruel to her own daughter, but she is extremely attentive to a common daughter. Then the tone hardened, "Don't worry about this. I have my own plans."
"Mother, mother, she is just for the Su family." The smile at the corners of Yue Guiren's mouth was a little sparse.
"Does the nobleman think that Mrs. Su concealed the death of Princess Zhaohua for the Su family?" Mu Xi, standing beside the queen, couldn't help asking coldly.
Yue Guiren looked at Mu Xi's quiet facial features with some surprise, and then looked at the queen with a faint look. She thought about it and said truthfully, "At first, I just felt that my sister-in-law was too paranoid and could do anything to get it. But later, when my sister-in-law got a body, I gradually understood that my sister-in-law just wanted to touch my brother with her persistence.
"It's just that my sister-in-law's infatuation is not as good as my eldest brother's. No matter how his sister-in-law died, the Su family was at fault. And the mother, the eldest brother in her heart, is more important than anything else. It can also be said that the mother is not for the Su family, but just protecting her son.
Su Heyue's words completely woke up that Mrs. Su did all this for Su and Yu.
The queen turned angrily and said, "Su Heyu is her son. Isn't Yi'an my daughter?" Compared with her heart, she just did a little too much, which made me unforgivable. Turning her head and seeing what Su Heyue wanted to say, she pressed Su and Yue's hand and shook her head.
Yue Guiren knew that because of Princess Zhaohua, the queen finally resented her mother, and she could only smile bitterly.
After another conversation, the queen saw that Yue Guiren's face was a little whiter, she immediately asked the maid of honor to send her back and told Yue Guiren not to leave Deyang Palace or allow any casual visits without her decree.
Yue Guiren knows that the queen is doing it for her good, and she is busy with Shane.
The queen gradually showed fatigue in her eyebrows. She took the initiative to get up and ordered Mu XiRAN, "Help me choose a few beautiful peonies and fold them down, go back to the palace and put them in the vase. When I see the peony flowers, I can think of Yi'an.
Mu Xi wanted to persuade her, but when she saw the deep lines in the corners of the queen's eyes, she still answered, "Then let Sister Xichun help the Empress go back first."
"Hmm." The queen put her hand sideways in Xichun's hand and went back to Kunning Palace.
In the huge peony garden, Mu XiRAN was slowly enjoying it. She had already held two bright red peonies in her hand and saw a peony in her eyes. Unfortunately, it was a little too far away. She leaned forward and couldn't touch her fingers, so she had to tiptoe.
Unconsciously, a man approached behind him and looked at the woman's dangerous movements funnyly. Until he couldn't stand it, he reached out and wrapped his arms around the woman's waist. "If you can't take it off, don't take it off. Why bothering so much effort?"
Mu Xian felt the strange breath in her ear. She pushed her hand away with the person beside her without thinking about it. "Men and women are not intimate. Please pay attention to it, Mr. Chu. The look also gradually became cold.
The lost look on Chu Chen's face was obviously scratched, but he returned to laughing for a moment. "Yesterday, I specially came to the palace to find you, and I didn't want you to be in the palace. I didn't know you went to Yuecheng until I got home.
Mu Xilan was shocked and held the peony flower's hand tightly, thinking that it was Chu Luo who told him.
"Why did you suddenly go over the city with whom?" Chu Chen blinked curiously.
"Why should I tell you about me?" Hearing his question, Mu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, continued to look into the peony flowers, and decided to find another one and go back to Kunning Palace.
However, it was not easy for Chu Chen to find a chance to talk to her. He stood in front of her and blocked her sight. His handsome facial features showed a cynical smile. "No matter how beautiful this flower is, it is not as beautiful as you, but let's try it first." He pointed out a petal and put it in his mouth. After chewing twice, his face changed.
"Bah, ah, ah. It tastes terrible. The dead girl actually said that the peony flowers were delicious.
Mu Xi looked at his naive look and couldn't help laughing, "Fool."
"You finally laughed. This is the first time I've seen you." Chu Chen only felt that her smile was as elegant and pure as the orchid in the empty valley, which was dazzling for a moment.
Mu Xilan's hand covered his mouth, and then put down the smile at the corners of his mouth. "If Mr. Chu is idle, you can find someone else. Xilan has no time to laugh with Mr. Chu." He nodded slightly and wanted to turn around and go.
"Xi Run." Chu Chen still couldn't help grabbing her wrist and asked, "Do you not like me because of your eldest brother?"
"Cunzi misunderstood. In Xilan's heart, Chu Luo is Chu Luo and Chu Chen is Chu Chen, and there is no relationship between them. The reason why Xilan treats Mr. Chu like this is that he thinks it's better not to start a fruitless relationship. Mu Xilan took advantage of Chu Chen's stunnedness and pulled out his hand and gradually walked away.
When Chu Chen reacted, the slender shadow had disappeared. He knocked on his forehead with some chagrin and blamed himself for being too anxious at the beginning, which made Mu Xilan farther and farther away from him.
