198 There are ghosts in the courtyard
The second aunt subconsciously looked at the second master Qin. She had long seen that there was any grudge between the second master and Mu Xiran. Now she is more curious about what Mu Xiran said. Even if she saw the second master's face, she still hesitated to say, "Master..."
"It is inevitable to encounter bumps in life. How can you have a grudge against others because of one thing? Now you still have to deliberately make things difficult for juniors because of unnecessary things. Maybe the second master is the most unruly one?" Mu Xian uttered like beads and gave the second master no face at all.
Second Master Qin listened carefully to Mu Xilan's words and fell into meditation for a moment and blocked his head without saying anything.
Mu Xijian was not ready to stay any longer, so he got up and worshipped his aunt. "Auncle, niece is going to the palace early tomorrow morning to visit the queen, so she needs to go back to rest early, and her niece will go back first."
"Hm, you go." They all moved out of the queen. How dare the eldest aunt to keep her?
Mu Xilan smiled and turned around and walked out slowly with Qin Yi.
Back in the attic in the bamboo forest, Qin Yi helped Mu Xilan untie the fox Qiu, "In fact, my wife didn't bother to untie the second master's heart knot. The prince will be heartbroken when he sees that his wife is so tired.
"We are all a family and will live a lifetime. You can't always keep your second uncle's heart knot. Besides, I don't want to hear him repeatedly satirize me in front of so many people. She is also proud and is by no means a timid woman who can be bullied by others.
When she agreed to marry Qin Yu, she decided to resolve the knot of Second Master Qin. But now it seems that she still has to think about the stubbornness of Second Master Qin.
Mu Xian leaned back comfortably and muttered before closing his eyes.
Qin Yi didn't hear clearly and retreated without much thought.
In the early morning, Mu Xi'an got up early for breakfast, then got into the carriage and went to the palace.
In Kunning Palace, when Mu Xiren came in, there was continuous laughter inside. When the queen sitting on the top saw her coming in, she immediately waved her hand to come over, "Xiren finally remembered the old woman of this palace."
After Mu Xian saluted the queen, he stepped forward. "Xi Ran felt that her aunt was much better than a while ago."
The princess sitting below took the words and complained angruntly, "XiRan's mouth is like touching honey all day, and she likes her mother as soon as she comes to the palace. The mother was also biased and couldn't close her mouth with a smile as soon as she saw Xi.
"Look, Wanchen has tasted it." The queen smiled and then pulled Mu Xilan to her side. "I heard that Qin Yu left you on the first day of the Chinese New Year. It's really conscienceless. When he comes back, you must teach him a good lesson. If you are reluctant, let him come into the palace and I will teach him a lesson for you.
"Uncle's whereabouts are still unknown, and Qin Yu is also very anxious." Mu Xilan said a word for Qin Yu.
"I haven't heard from you for three days, but it's worrying. However, Qin Yu has always been far-sighted and considerate, which is very reassuring. You should take good care of the fetus in the house, and you will rarely come in this palace. The queen's last sentence is quite meaningful.
Mu Xiran naturally heard it and held the queen's hand, "But what happened?"
The queen's face suddenly became positive and her face was calm: "Yester night, the second prince and the fifth prince fought in the palace, and even the emperor did not persuade him. It was only when Yi Xiao arrived that he pulled the two people away. The tone paused and continued, "I learned from others that the death of the second prince was related to the fifth prince, and the two had an argument."
Mu Xilan couldn't help thinking that after Chuluo's previous affairs, Qin Yu told her that the matter of the second prince was secretly done by Chu Luo. As for whether it had anything to do with the fifth prince, Qin Yu did not have enough evidence.
However, when it comes to the second prince and concubine, it is obvious that some people want to deliberately provoke the relationship between the second prince and the fifth prince.
"Xi Run, what do you know?" Seeing that Mu Xian had not spoken for a long time, the queen thought that the matter was a little complicated and quickly asked. Although this matter had little to do with the emperor, everyone knew that the current situation was unstable.
Mu Xiyan quickly raised her eyes and shook her head and smiled, "I'm just thinking who said it."
"Who else can be? Only Concubine Shu will do this. Since the death of the second prince, the second prince has rarely come to the palace. I also vaguely heard that several times the noble concubine and the second prince have quarreled because the second prince suddenly wanted to give up fighting for the throne. The princess casually played with the teacup on the table,
"Later, because of the emperor's death, Shu Guifei didn't want to think much about it. Well, when An He ascended to the throne, Princess Shu was unwilling. Now I just want the second prince to compete for this position.
Hearing this, Mu Xi'an was secretly shocked. She was not sure that the second prince was because she guessed the unintentional throne, but she was sure that the second prince was not heartless because of the death of the second prince's concubine. Therefore, the second prince did not quarrel with the fifth prince because of the matter of the second prince. This matter seems to be strange.
Thinking of this, Mu Xian didn't know why she suddenly felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't think of anything wrong.
The queen carefully saw Mu Xilan's raised eyebrows and faintly sad face, so she let go of her hand and said, "Okay. Don't worry too much about things in the palace. Go back quickly and have a good abortion. I'm still waiting to hug the big fat boy.
"Well, aunt, Xian retreated." Mu Xilan's face obviously did not have the happy color before, but with a little reluctant smile.
Out of Kunning Palace, Mu Xiran suddenly felt dizzy and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hand and blocked the strong light reflected by the snow.
"Madam, are you all right?" Nianhua behind him hurried forward to hold it.
Mu Xian put down her arm and looked at the palace not far away. "You accompany me to Zhaohua Palace."
Nianhua saw that she didn't look well and said directly, "Madam! Let's get out of the palace as soon as possible and go to see it when we are free.
"Nianhua, you have been with me for so many years, and you won't know my nature." The corners of Mu Xiran's eyes were stained with a little anger, and his eyes were as deep and unpredictable as glass, "Let's go."
"Madam, I'm holding you." Nianhua lowered his eyes quickly and obediently, but secretly blamed him in his heart.
At the door of Zhaohua Palace, Mu Xiran turned his head and coldly ordered Nianhua, "I'll go in alone. You wait outside."
Just outside the Kunning Palace, Nianhua tasted the majesty of being oppressed by Mu Xiyan for the first time, and now she obediently retreated to one side, "Yes, madam."
Mu Xiyan pushed open the wooden door, lifted the skirt and stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the yard. Sure enough, he saw the second prince standing under the eaves, looking at the withered peony flowers covered with snow.
The second prince heard the sound, his eyes were awe-sighted, and then saw that the lines of Mu Xilan's back face gradually softened, "Here you are."
Since that night, the second prince's mind has always been full of Jun Yi'an and Mu Xi's facial features, which made him extremely confused when he had time.
"I guessed that you were here." Mu Xiran also did not shy away and said it directly. Then he walked to the side of the second prince. With his eyes, he couldn't help sighing, "Has the second prince ever thought of marrying the imperial concubine again?"
The second prince smiled bitterly when he heard the words, "Xi Run, even if I know who you are, your heart that I like will not change. If you ask that, it will only make me feel more uncomfortable. Afraid of what Mu Xi'an would persuade him to say, he added, "My father has only passed away for less than a month, and I can't rush to marry another concubine."
Hearing the words, Mu Xiran swallowed the words she wanted to persuade. She didn't know how painful it was to like a person who didn't like her, so she mentioned what happened last night, "Anran, you didn't fight with the fifth prince last night because of the second prince, did you?"
Sure enough, the second prince shook his head and his face became a little complicated. "It's some personal matters between me and Android. As you know, the mother gave Mu Nianqing to Qin You. Originally, I promised the fifth prince to stay Mu Nianqing to complete them, but... I lied to him.
Mu Xi'an's hanging heart slowly fell when he heard it, and his face suddenly changed to a smile, "So it's because of this." Turning her head and looking at the neat decorations in the hall, she nodded to the second prince, "Thank you for take care of this. It's time for Xi Ran to go back.
After saying that, Mu Xi ran around and wanted to leave.
"Xi Ran..." Unexpectedly, the second prince grabbed Mu Xi Ran's arm and couldn't say anything to say it. His lips moved twice and still reluctantly smiled, "Be careful on your way."
Mu Xiran glanced at the second prince's hand holding her arm. Naturally, he didn't see the expression that the second prince wanted to say and stopped, so he bent his lips and said, "Ye, I know."
When Mu Xiyan walked out of Zhaohua Palace, the two fists of the second prince hanging on his side were loose, tight and loose, and his face was ugly.
On the way back, everything went well, but he returned to the house. Before Mu Xiran's stability, Nan Shi hurried in, "Madam, madam... I went back to get a dress, but I didn't expect... There was a ghost in the courtyard!"
Mu Xi'an, who was still tired, heard it and immediately woke up and asked again, "What are you talking about?"
"When the maidservant went back to get clothes for the master, she met... a female ghost in the dormitory! That voice, that shadow... I was afraid..." Nanshi only felt that her body was suddenly cold. She quickly hugged her arms and shrank her head.
The ghost said that Mu Xilan didn't believe it. What's more, it happened after he moved out of the main courtyard, so he said to Nanshi faintly, "Next time you go, take one more person."
"Madam, what I said is true. And when the maidservants came back, they also heard the maidservants say that there were strange sounds in the courtyard every night these days, and they did not dare to go in.
