I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Xie Xuanchen was recuperating in Yulintang, and it was not convenient to talk. The female officer led the way and led her to the Jingzhai next to Yulintang Zhaixuan. There are lush bamboos planted around Jingzhai, and there is a lake not far away. If you study and study here, it is indeed a clean place. But Mu Mingtang was brought here by the female officer alone, and it was a bit scary to be careful.

But at any rate, he was still in the palace, which was much better than Mu Mingtang expected. She originally thought that the Emperor Dowager wanted to take her into the palace and torture her.

Mu Mingtang was surprised when he first saw Jing Zhai, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Xie Xuanchen is so famous that there was such a big battle last night, no matter whether it was the injured person or the fire in the courtyard, it could not hide the people in the city. Within one night, everyone in the city must have known that King Qiyang was awake.

If Xie Xuanchen's princess was summoned to the palace at this juncture, and couldn't get in or out, the reputation would be so unpleasant. Anyway, the Qiyang Palace is now all the emperor's people, and there is actually no difference between asking questions in the palace and in the palace.

Mu Mingtang knew that he was still in the palace, and half of his heart was at ease. If she enters the palace, then she is resigned, and now she is still in her own chassis, she still has a chance to fight.

After Mu Mingtang sat down, he did not say three words. Sun Daezhao asked what he meant: "The queen mother heard that the prince was awake and was very concerned. The empress heard that the prince was in a coma during this period. Great appreciation. Princess Qiyang, the queen mother sent a servant girl to ask you, prince, when did you wake up?"

It doesn't really make a difference whether this is the queen mother or the emperor. Mu Mingtang clasped his hands, eyes drooping, and said nothing. Seeing that Mu Mingtang was silent, Sun Daizhao asked, "There is also the chain on King Qiyang. Although King Qiyang is noble, the mysterious iron chain was added by the first emperor. Even the queen mother does not Dare to neglect, don't you think Wang Hao?"

"What the Queen Mother said is."

"The King Qiyang fell ill again last night. Both the empress dowager and the sage are extremely concerned about this matter. What is particularly suspicious is that the mysterious iron chain has been opened for no reason. How is the chain untied?"

Mu Mingtang lowered his eyes and looked at the ground for a long time. After a while, she said: "I happened to go to the King Jin's wedding yesterday, and I don't know."

Sun Daizhao frowned, and the other female officials were also annoyed when they heard it. Sun Daizhao emphasized his tone, and secretly put pressure on him: "The iron chain of Shangxuan for King Qiyang is the edict personally laid down by the first emperor, and the world dare not obey it. The saint has said that if someone disobeys his order, as long as there is a cause for it, he can open it. One eye is closed, but if anyone dared to despise the emperor’s death, he would never let it go. Rebelling against the edict is a great crime for beheading, but if the princess can relieve the worries in the palace, it is a great service. .Should the princess not understand such a simple truth?"

"One more question from the slave servant, Princess Mu, how did the mysterious iron chain untie?"

Mu Mingtang still lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know."

Mu Mingtang made it clear that he would not cooperate. Several female officials became angry. Sun Daizhao brushed down their sleeves and said coldly: "I was here for the sake of the princess. I didn't expect the princess to be confused. In that case, the princess might as well. Be quiet here, if your heart is quiet, maybe you will remember."

After Sun Daizhao finished speaking, he took a group of noble and elegant female officials out, leaving nothing for Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang sat inside and clearly heard the sound of the lock coming from outside the door.

Come on, now she is locked up too. She and Xie Xuanchen share a room, but they are really blessed to share and share in difficulties.

Mu Mingtang tried to push the door, but he couldn't move. Mu Mingtang didn't bother to test the windows. It didn't matter if the windows were locked or not. She was in Qiyang Palace. Even if she ran out, where could she go?

If she really tried to open the lock, she would have fallen into the trap.

After all, she is the princess in name, and the royal people must act decently, and greet her with the face of imperial imperialism. It seemed that the people in the palace were planning to keep Mu Mingtang shut for a few days, ignoring her and not letting her talk to others, and when her mind was suppressed, they would send someone out to give her grace and power to crush her will.

The biggest advantage of Mu Mingtang is that he can think well, no matter what happens, he always thinks for the better. Now that there are no such gentle female officials, Mu Mingtang first turned Jingzhai around, then found a bed with satisfaction and lay down to sleep.

She was stared at by the maid all night last night, dreaming of fighting with Big Eyes. Now it's no one, the room is spacious and clean, just to give her sleep. As for panic, it is impossible.

Mu Mingtang slept until it was dark. She slept comfortably. When she got up, she found that the room was dark and a simple plate of rice was placed at the door.

This crudeness is relative to the court's standards. For Mu Mingtang, she thinks the food is pretty good.

Mu Mingtang brought the meal to the table in the dark, facing the darkness in the room, she probably understood what the female officials meant. When they left, they took away the candlelight. At night, the room was dark, and they couldn't see their fingers. The large pieces of furniture were like beasts in the darkness. If it is a person who is afraid of the dark, I am afraid that if I come down this night, I am afraid that I will be scared.

If Mu Mingtang is an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl who has been held in the palm of the hand by the family, he would indeed be afraid of Jing Zhai at this time. It's a pity that Mu Mingtang is not. She ate in the dark, her appetite is still very good. For people who have escaped, are they afraid of the dark and thunder?

It's a joke.

Mu Mingtang adjusted well and couldn't light up the lamp, so she continued to lie back to sleep. She once again sighed that the rich are so nice. In a house where no one has ever lived, the furniture should be complete, even the bedding is brand new. Mu Mingtang touched the fabric on the quilt and recognized that it was a new fashionable fabric this year, that is to say, it was new this season.

In such a large palace, all the curtains, beds, tents, and window screens are changed every season. There is no need for a second time. After a year, how much money will it cost?

Mu Mingtang couldn't figure it out. She couldn't sleep for a while, thinking wildly, always feeling that this was an outsider squandering Xie Xuanchen's money. Xie Xuanchen fought for many years and ransacked several emperors. Not to mention the rewards of the emperors of the Zhou and Ye dynasties, but the spoils of his own fight, I am afraid it is very impressive.

Mu Mingtang's civic disposition is especially distressed for money at the moment. Xie Xuanchen looked at him and let go of the shopkeeper, and after so long in a coma, how much his money had to be cheated.

After thinking about it, Mu Mingtang discovered that she seemed to have never seen the complete Qiyang Palace. She walked in the palace very few times. One was on the day of her wedding. She looked up under the red cover, and she didn't know anything. The other was to see the wedding of Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei. There was a guard behind her and she had no time to look around. View.

Not to mention that outsiders did not regard her as the princess, Mu Mingtang himself felt that she was the princess dereliction of duty. After being married for a month, I didn't even see all of my own home.

Mu Mingtang slowly closed her eyes, half-dreaming and half-waking still thinking, if there is a chance in the future, she must take a good look at the scenery of Qiyang Palace...

·

The female officials had expected that Mu Mingtang would be honest about everything after being scared all day and night in a small black room. As a result, two days later, Mu Mingtang ate and drank well. He was not haggard at all, instead he slept with a ruddy complexion.

Several female officials were very surprised and faintly anxious at the same time. They can't get out of the palace easily, and when they get out of the palace, they have to deal with the master's account no matter what. King Qiyang hasn't woken up yet, and they can do everything easily. When the murderer wakes up, it will be too late.

The imperial physician was helpless about Xie Xuanchen's illness, and they were not sure when Xie Xuanchen would wake up. Sun Daizhao was so anxious that her mouth blistered, so she could only ask her to add some sleep aid ingredients to Xie Xuanchen's medicine. She speeded up her hands and feet and pressed Mu Mingtang.

Sun Daizhao was cruel and stopped sending food to Mu Mingtang. Sun Daizhao thought, but a girl from the folks was short-sighted, stupid and ignorant. As the aunt in the Queen’s Palace, was she not able to fix a little girl? Sun Daizhao calculated that Mu Mingtang had been hungry for two nights a day, and only then did Shi Shiran unlock the door of Jingzhai on the second night.

There was a sudden light coming in from the door, and Mu Mingtang stretched out his hand to block his eyes before slowly adapting to the light. Sun Daizhao originally expected to see a person who described as embarrassed and on the verge of collapse, but after pushing the door in, Mu Mingtang's face was pale, but his spirit still looked good.

As if she just changed the bed and slept for two days, other than that, there was no effect.

Sun Daizhao couldn't believe it when she saw it. She deliberately put a lot of cruel words to scare Mingtang, and finally asked with a stern voice: "The Holy Spirit has long known everything. Today is the last chance for you. If you tell me honestly, For the sake of your honesty, the saints can still forget the past. If you still lie, huh, then no one can save you. Defeat the first emperor’s will and be cut according to the law."

Mu Mingtang remained unmoved. If, as these people said, the emperor had obtained evidence, how could the emperor talk nonsense with her, she should have been drinking poison. However, Sun Daizhao still kept her detained day by day, and as the days got longer, Sun Daizhao became more and more uncomfortable, more and more anxious.

It can be seen that the emperor is nothing more than speculation. He needs evidence, evidence that can keep Xie Xuanchen locked up. Xie Yi did personally let Xie Xuanchen be locked up, and said that no one could open it without his order. But that was just an angry sentence. When Xie Yi's anger died down, how could he treat his own son like this.

But who knows that Xie Yi died suddenly, strangely and unexpectedly, and left an inexplicable imperial decree. The throne was not passed on to his son, but to his younger brother. When Xie Yi died, Xie Xuanchen's chain became a headless case. Xie Rui excused the first emperor's will not to change, but still confined Xie Xuanchen with peace of mind, and quietly used medicine to make Xie Xuanchen fall asleep every day.

Long-term consumption can always consume Xie Xuanchen to death.

As a result, the fig leaf that the entire royal family relied on was torn apart by Mu Mingtang. When Xie Xuanchen's chains were unlocked, the emperor would be directed by the people of the world when he locked it back again. He was really flustered when he left it like this, and he could only start from Mu Mingtang and try to pry words from Mu Mingtang's mouth.

As long as Mu Mingtang said something, the emperor could always take advantage of the question and find a way to lock Xie Xuanchen back in. But Mu Mingtang did not grow up in Beijing, nor was she an innocent Miss Jiao. She bit her to death and said she didn't know how she asked.

Many thanks to the emperor’s good son Xie Xuanji, who invited Mu Mingtang to the wedding that day. So many people at the wedding banquet saw Mu Mingtang, and Mu Mingtang was not in the Qiyang Palace. What if it was during the time when Mu Mingtang was away from the house, what strange person would sneak in and unlock the chain?

This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, anyway, Mu Mingtang insisted that she didn't know, even if she starved to death, she would not change her mind. Mu Mingtang dared to guarantee that the emperor did not dare to starve her to death.

Sun Daizhao was completely annoyed when he saw that Mu Mingtang didn't add oil and salt, and didn't eat soft or hard. She no longer kept the affection, but let people bring two plates.

The lid was lifted, and there was a red cloth bag on a plate with silver needles inserted in it. On the other plate is a bowl of black soup medicine, smelling, I am afraid it is not a tonic for the body.

Mu Mingtang remained silent, looking at Sun Daizhao quietly. She hadn't eaten for nearly two days, her face was pale at the moment, her lips were not bloody, and she was weak as anyone could see. Even so, she did not show any panic or fear.

Sun Daizhao showed two things in front of Mu Mingtang, and introduced them one by one: "This set of needles is used by Sizheng Ju, specifically to teach those concubines or court ladies who don’t know their severity. This needle stick will not leave scars on the body, and needle eyes. It's also small, and you won't see it in a while, so you can safely apply it on the palace ladies. The women in the palace are the emperors. If they leave scars on their bodies, they will be hurtful, but those women who are confused, If you don’t punish you, you don’t have a long memory. Normally, this kind of person is sent to the Sizheng Bureau and asked not to say anything. First, he pierces his hands. If he asks twice, he does not say. Then he is on his waist. Don’t be decent, you can only take off your clothes and discipline."

Sun Daizhao saw that Mu Mingtang's face became paler as she wished. She deliberately pulled out a needle that was more than three inches long to show it, and then sent another plate.

"Here is a body cleansing medicine, which is specially prepared for masters who have never conceived. Some masters are afraid of pain and don't want to have children. With this bowl of medicine, you will be guaranteed that you will never be pregnant again in this life. Gently, the servant girl didn't want to show these filthy things to the princess, but the princess kept repeating it, and always refused to cooperate. The servant girl couldn't, so you can only ask for these things. Mu Wang, you choose the same."

...

Xie Xuanchen had a long dream, in which his mother was still alive. Madam Yin was holding a lamp and standing at the door looking eagerly. Every time a car and a horse pass by the intersection, she has to look up for a long time.

The maid kept persuading Mrs. Yin to go back to the house and wait, but she shook her head and refused. Xie Xuanchen went home from the barracks after having had enough fun. When he walked to the intersection, he saw his mother waiting at the door again, and he turned around and left.

However, only for this moment, Madam Yin has recognized him. Madam Yin immediately called his name, and the maid also called him next to him. Xie Xuanchen had no choice but to turn his head and bit his head to see his mother.

His elder brother had a rash when he was a child, and he did not survive. From then on, his mother looked at him like a flower, afraid that he would catch a cold when the wind blows. Xie Xuanchen couldn't stand the woman's greasiness and crookedness. Every day, taking advantage of his mother's unpreparedness, Xie Xuanchen went over the wall to play in Guo's house.

Guo Rong has liked him very much since he was a child, and he is closer than his own son. Xie Xuanchen was confident and could make a day of trouble in Guo's Mansion. Xie Yi looked angry and naturally scolded when he came back. Later, Guo Rong got busier and busier, and his father was away all day long. Xie Xuanchen had no fun in Guo Mansion, so he simply followed Guo Rong and Xie Yi to the barracks.

Mrs. Yin only had two children. When the eldest son died, she cried so much that she was very careful with the younger son, for fear of his length. Xie Xuanchen followed the adults to the barracks, how could Madam Yin rest assured. She wanted to detain Xie Xuanchen at home, but in a blink of an eye, the kid ran over the wall again.

The whole mansion can't stand him. Every time Xie Xuanchen ran around, Madam Yin couldn't let go of her heart. She had to stand at the door and see Xie Xuanchen come back to feel at ease. When Xie Yi came back, she learned that his mother had blew the wind for a long time at the door in order to wait for him.

His childhood and youth are not warm, at least far from the beautiful family that everyone imagines. He always gets scolded for half of the year. But generally speaking, he has a majestic general father and a gentle and beautiful family mother. Although life is not a honeypot, he has never worried about foreign objects.

At that time, Xie Xuanchen was young and full of energy. I stayed with the rough guy in the barracks for a long time, always thinking of righteousness, and doing a big business. So in the fifth year of Heping, which was later the first year of Hongjia, Guo Rong and Xie Yi were ordered to conquer Guangjin. Xie Yi, who was fifteen years old, took a knife and a horse, and went after his father and Uncle Guo’s. The army is out.

He ran away from home, naturally, surreptitiously, carrying Madam Yin on his back. Later, Xie Xuanchen regretted countless times, why did he leave, why did he leave his mother alone in the capital.

He didn't even say goodbye to his mother before leaving.

Guo Rong and Xie Yiping rebelled and victorious, but the army stopped at Yecheng and did not return to the court. Emperor Gong of the Later Jin Dynasty was suspicious of Guo Rong, and now he even more suspects that he is willing to rebel. Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty became angry and ordered the killing of the family members of Guo and Xie.

In the two residences of Guoxie, family members and even babies, none were spared. When the news reached Yecheng, Guo Rong was furious, and formally raised the anti-flag to fight against the unscrupulous Jin emperor.

It was during this war that Xie Xuanchen finally obtained the approval of Xie Yi and Guo Rong and officially led the army. Xie Xuanchen made great contributions to breaking the capital, and even the Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty abandoned the palace and escaped. It was Xie Xuanchen who chased him and sent him to Huangquan by himself.

Xie Xuanchen killed Emperor Gong of Houjin and avenged his mother, but Mrs. Yin never returned. Based on the father-son relationship between Xie Xuanchen and Xie Yi, when Mrs. Yin is absent, their father and son cannot even meet peacefully.

Home is where the mother is, and if the mother is gone, the home is gone.

The person in my memory who would light the lamp and wait for him to go home no longer exists.

Xie Xuanchen's dream was broken and chaotic. One moment he dreamed of his mother chasing him to tie him a knot when he was a child, another moment he dreamed that he had been in the mud for a day in the barracks, and when he returned home, he happened to ran into his mother waiting for him at the door. He clearly said many times that he would only surprise others, and he would never have an accident, but Madam Yin still couldn't let it go.

The gentle and beautiful lady in the dream gradually blurred and turned into another young woman carrying a lamp. She came from a distance and lit the lights along the road. When she turned sideways to light the lamp, she was extremely focused, with stars in her eyes and bright lights behind her.

Xie Xuanchen saw the madness in his dream again. When he was manic, he didn't realize what he was doing, but his brain would record everything unselfishly, allowing him to see his ugliness over and over in his dreams.

After falling into a violent rage, all he could see was red, flowing, fiery red. He stood in the center by himself, and was cursed by thousands of people. Only this time, among the crowds of onlookers evading like snakes and scorpions, he saw a person pushing aside the crowd and running towards him without hesitation.

She said, "You're just sick. Go back and sleep. Let's go home."

After Mrs. Yin died, no one told him to go home. Guo Rong married another, Xie Yi straightened his original concubine, and Xie Rui's family moved from Lin'an to Beijing. Everyone has reorganized their families, but he is the only one who walks alone.

When Xie Xuanchen woke up from his dream, Mu Mingtang's "Go home" seemed to echo in his ears. He opened his eyes and thought he would hear Mu Mingtang's surprise voice, but after waiting for a long time, there was nothing.

He slowly stood up, thinking she went to light the lamp again? Xie Xuanchen's movement alarmed the maid outside. The maid came in and saw that he was awake. She was so frightened that she dropped the medicine bowl and said, "The prince is awake!"
