Confused the world

Mu Qingcheng went back and explained the matter to Huangfu Jingyan at night. Huangfu Jingyan, who was lying on the bed, looked sideways at the person speaking in front of him, and finally asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.

"Is Cheng'er planning to send everyone in the harem out of the palace?"

Huangfu Jingyan was afraid of Mu Qingcheng's affirmative answer, not because she was afraid that she would empathize with others, but because she was afraid that she had a greater purpose.

"What if the concubine says it's true? How will Your Majesty do it?"

Mu Qingcheng stared at Huangfu Jingyan without any dodge in his eyes.Things will happen sooner or later, and she will ask this question sooner or later. Now the question is earlier than expected, but better than expected, at least she didn't lose her temper.

"Cheng'er should know that the main reason for letting them enter the palace is to contain those forces. If they all leave the palace, I'm afraid I will lose my bargaining chip."

Huangfu Jingyan sighed slightly, after so many years of preparation, now because of one woman, everything is messed up, it is impossible not to feel distressed.

"The concubine just wants His Majesty to know that everything the concubine is doing is for your majesty's benefit. Even if one day the concubine becomes a heinous woman who is cast aside by the world, your majesty should not suspect that the concubine will harm your heart."

Mu Qingcheng covered Huangfu Jingyan's hand on his chest with both hands. She knew the future result, but she just didn't want to make this man too sad.If you want to get something, you will always lose it.

"I know that Cheng'er is for my own good, but I'm afraid you've worked too hard for doing so much by yourself. If the harem is too involved in this court matter, someone will eventually impeach her."

Huangfu Jingyan was afraid that someone would bring this matter to court in the future, and it would be even more troublesome. It would be good if he could give some opinions on some small matters in private, and don't get involved too much, this is the best way to protect himself.No matter how much he spoils her, he may not be able to keep her.Because I can't make fun of the people of the world.

"The concubine knows that, and will definitely shut up the people of the world. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will make a decree for Sister Lan to leave the palace on July [-]th, and the concubine will take care of it."

Mu Qingcheng didn't want to say any more, Huangfu Jingyan might not be able to understand if she said too much.Even if she can understand, what can she do? Apart from worrying, she may have other thoughts. If so, it's better to keep her guessing from the beginning.

"I know."

Listening to Mu Qingcheng's tone, Huangfu Jingyan didn't want to say anything more, the expression on his face was a little helpless and bitter.Now this woman is becoming more and more incomprehensible. This kind of thing is really bad.

"Your Majesty, from August onwards, my concubines will go to Yongle Palace every day to pay their respects. I have not been in good health for the past two years, and I have not been there. Now that I am better, I must go for a walk more."

Suddenly talking about paying respects to the Queen Mother, Huangfu Jingyan was a little puzzled. Before when she was in good health, she didn't even think about going to pay her respects. Why did she suddenly want to go now, or did she have to go every day? What is the meaning of this?Are you going to find the next concubine again?

Her face suddenly became a little cold, she didn't like such an unpredictable Mu Qingcheng.She likes her city that is simple and easy for people to understand, not this calculating and deep city Mu Qingcheng.

"Why all of a sudden?"

How could Mu Qingcheng not feel the coldness coming from the people around her, she felt a little pain in her heart, but she was helpless.

"I just want to go, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future."

"Just talk nonsense, if you want to go, go, don't force yourself too much."

After hearing what Mu Qingcheng said, Huangfu Jingyan didn't like it very much.

"Just thinking about going out for a walk, Your Majesty, don't worry. It's really boring to be alone in the palace. When I go to Yongle Palace, I can also talk to my sisters, so I will feel much better."

Mu Qingcheng spoke casually, as if she just wanted to relax.But these words, in the eyes of Huangfu Jingyan, have another meaning.

She knew that Mu Qingcheng's visit was definitely not a simple distraction, she must have her eye on someone.The only people in the palace are the Queen, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Li.

These three people, no matter who they were, shouldn't be enough to pose a threat to her.In the past, Concubine De was to eliminate the feudal clan, but now sending Concubine Lan out of the palace was also caused by the elimination of the feudal clan.The rest of the people, no matter what, will not involve the issue of the court.

"It's good that Cheng'er likes it. If you're not in good health, don't force it too much."

"Well, Your Majesty has been busy with political affairs, so don't neglect King An Yi's teachings. I don't know how he has behaved in the court for the past two months?"

Since the court, King An Yi seldom came to Sydney Palace, this is what Mu Qingcheng said before he came to court.Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.He was obedient and obedient, never came here, and occasionally sent palace people to fetch some books for study.

"Hao'er is very smart and very strategic. I didn't even know he was so smart. I always thought he was just a child, but now it seems that he has grown up."

Thinking of his younger brother's performance in the court, Huangfu Jingyan couldn't help but admire.A child who is less than 15 years old actually has that kind of foresight and foresight. He is really a good seed for a monarch.

"Hao'er was already smart, but His Majesty doted on him too much and always treated him like a child. Choose a concubine for him in the coming year, and give him a mansion and move out of the palace."

Huangfu Jingyan looked into Mu Qingcheng's dark eyes through the darkness.She felt that this person was not as simple as being lenient, but rather lenient enough for her to get involved in royal affairs.

She knew that this person also used her younger brother as a pawn in her plan, and it became more and more unpredictable what she would do.

"Hao'er is still young, let's talk about it in a few years. These things are all for the Empress Dowager to worry about, so Cheng'er should leave it alone."

Huangfu Jingyan pulled his hand away from Mu Qingcheng's, and lay on his side.Close your eyes and don't want to say more.

"The concubine knows it's too much, but His Majesty is also thinking about Hao'er. How long are you going to catch him? He is about to reach Jiji's age, and he is already an adult. Does Your Majesty still think that someone has always treated him like a child?" What do you think? He entered the court as an official, and no one would treat him like a child."

Mu Qingcheng knew that Huangfu Jingyan was not happy, but she still wanted to say it.Only by convincing His Majesty, everything will proceed step by step.

Hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, Huangfu Jingyan froze.It turned out that I still made a big mistake. If Haoer was not allowed to enter the court as an official, maybe people would not be able to watch her. She felt that she was being used by others, and she was very upset.

"Cheng'er, don't go too far. Did you intend to use Hao'er from the beginning?"

Huangfu Jingyan sat up from the bed angrily, glaring at Mu Qingcheng.

"Use? Your Majesty thinks that the concubine is using Hao'er?"

When Huangfu Jingyan said the word "use", Mu Qingcheng's heart was completely chilled. No matter how deep the relationship is, before the two people fully understand it, it is always easy to have misunderstandings and even break up.

She herself didn't know whether to cry, or to say that she had brought it on herself.Maybe happiness will last here, or there will be a turning point, these are just a test.Want to lie to yourself, just the fact is the fact.

"Cheng'er, you should know how important Hao'er is to me and the Queen Mother. You shouldn't involve him in this kind of open and secret struggle."

Knowing that his tone was a little heavy, Huangfu Jingyan lowered his voice slightly.

"Your Majesty, is it really for Hao'er? This is the royal family, the court, not ordinary people's family. There is nothing to fight for. Don't you know the current situation of the court? Your Majesty thinks he can control everything?"

Mu Qingcheng sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.It seems to be talking about himself, but also talking about the ruthlessness of the royal family.

"Cheng'er, you..."

Huangfu Jingyan was speechless for a while, but what Mu Qingcheng said was the truth.The current situation is developing out of control.Those veteran officials in the court are slowly leaning towards King Yixin, and the power of the court is tending to be out of balance.

"Your Majesty thinks it is good for Hao'er, but it may not be really good. How many people in the world of Huangfu Dynasty care about it? How powerful King Yixin is now, His Majesty will not be unaware. If His Majesty Xiyue dies, the Huangfu Dynasty There will be chaos on the border, and the wars will continue one after another, how many troops does Your Majesty have to use there?"

Mu Qingcheng's words were so merciless, every sentence poked at Huangfu Jingyan's pain.Before Huangfu Jingyan could speak, Mu Qingcheng started talking again.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is doing this just to protect her own family. Is it wrong? Hao'er is His Majesty's younger brother. Your Majesty, don't forget that he is the heir of the Huangfu Dynasty. The road he wants to take is the way of an emperor. It's not the way of the son of those wealthy mansions."

Seeing such an excited person in front of him, Huangfu Jingyan was a little worried, and she got angry.I made her angry.

"Cheng'er, don't worry, it's my mistake. Take a break first."

"Cough cough..."

Before Huangfu Jingyan reached out to help her, Mu Qingcheng began to cough violently.

"Cheng'er, take a break first, and let your breath flow first."

Huangfu Jingyan hurried over, put one hand on Mu Qingcheng's back to help her relax, and the other hand on her chest to comfort her.

"Cough cough..."

Mu Qingcheng was still coughing non-stop, and the expression on his face became as pale as paper ashes.Huangfu Jingyan was so frightened that he was about to cry.

"Cheng'er, I'm going to call Dongxue right now."

Huangfu Jingyan was eager to get out of bed, Mu Qingcheng grabbed her with one hand, and said slowly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, minister... Your concubine is fine, just rest... just take a rest."

"You're already like this, why are you all right? I'll ask Dong Xue to take a look for you."

Huangfu Jingyan was worried and insisted on getting out of bed.

"Your Majesty, don't... don't disturb her rest, it's late."

Mu Qingcheng took a few breaths and said again: "Your Majesty, help my concubine get... the white porcelain bottle from the second drawer of the bedside cabinet."

Mu Qingcheng tried her best to complete what she said.It's just that the tightness in her chest made her speak intermittently.

"Okay, I'll get it now."

Huangfu Jingyan got out of bed to hold the lamp, quickly went to the drawer, and sure enough, he saw a white porcelain bottle in the second drawer, took it and handed it directly to Mu Qingcheng.

Mu Qingcheng took the porcelain bottle, poured three pills into his mouth, and swallowed them quickly.After resting for a while, I was able to catch my breath.

Seeing that Mu Qingcheng's face was not as ugly as before, Huangfu Jingyan finally let go of his hanging heart.

"Cheng'er, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Huangfu Jingyan climbed onto the bed, sat opposite Mu Qingcheng, held her hand and began to apologize.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not angry with you, but just stated some facts. The concubine did have her own purpose in doing so, but it was also for the good of your majesty. The concubine must not be with your majesty for too long. clear?"

Mu Qingcheng's expression became gentle, and her paper-gray cheeks also turned a little bloody at this moment.

"I don't want to listen to such words, Cheng'er said that he would accompany me, how could he leave early."

Huangfu Jingyan moved forward and hugged Mu Qingcheng tightly, she admitted that she was afraid, afraid of losing her, even if she really used her, as long as she didn't lose her, it really didn't matter, it really didn't matter.

"His Majesty."

Mu Qingcheng sighed helplessly, she didn't want to do this either, it's just that fate is like this, and no one can change it.

"Cheng'er, stop talking. I won't let you leave. Without my permission, no one can take you away from me."

"Your Majesty, there is no one who snatches away concubines, really. It's late, let's rest, there are still many things to deal with in the court tomorrow."

Mu Qingcheng patted Huangfu Jingyan's back lightly to calm her down.

"Okay, let's go to bed and wake up tomorrow. What happened tonight will pass, and it will pass."

Huangfu Jingyan lay down with his arms around Mu Qingcheng, holding her tightly in his arms, not daring to relax at all.

Mu Qingcheng had no choice but to follow her.The two fell asleep with restless hearts like this.
