Confused the world

The moon has sunk to the west, and the few shining stars have also begun to become blurred.

In Xueyu Palace, the lights were on and off, and occasionally two or three fireflies could be seen in the courtyard beside the pear tree, occasionally shining brightly.

"Miss, what are you doing? Why are you still awake?"

"Ah... Dongxue, you scared me to death. Are you up?"

Mu Qingcheng raised her head to look at Dongxue in panic, she was almost scared out of her heart.

"Miss, what are you doing sitting around? The ugly hour is over now, and the Yin hour is coming soon, why aren't you sleeping?"

Dongxue was obsessed with the lamp, and looked at Mu Qingcheng who was sitting there in a daze.I came here for a while, but this person didn't respond at all, and seemed to be very focused on thinking about things.

If it was her usual habit, she should be fast asleep.I got up at this time and covered her with the quilt. Today was strange, I went to bed early at night, and was in a daze in the middle of the night, what's the matter?

Dong Xue held up the lamp to take a closer look, and saw drops of water on Mu Qingcheng's head.She wondered if this person had just returned from going out in the middle of the night?

Huyou remembered the strange things last night, and became more sure of his guess?

If you go out to the Hundred Gardens to have a look, what is going on with this appearance?Could it be that something strange happened in Hundred Gardens?

It's rare to see a lady like this, looking a little downcast.Yesterday I heard them say that the flowers in Baihuayuan are beautiful. This person went to see the flowers in the middle of the night. Why did he come back so disappointed? Are the flowers in Baihuayuan not beautiful, or is there something else?

"Miss, go to bed early, it's getting late, and you have to go to Yongle Palace to pay your respects, don't forget."

Dongxue placed the lamp on the lampstand beside her, helped Mu Qingcheng to lie down, and helped her tuck in the quilt and leave.

After Dong Xue left, Mu Qingcheng looked at the dark bed curtain by herself, sighed for a while, pulled the quilt over her head for a while, and went back and forth five or six times.

"Oh, how could I kiss that strange woman. And it's still as cold as the ice in Tianshan Mountain. Am I confused? Yes, it's because I was out of breath at the time."

Mu Qingcheng sat up, lifted the quilt, beat the quilt with both hands, talking to herself.

"What's the matter with me? Even if I'm confused, I don't know how to get close, and I told her that I like women. What happened to me at that time, I must be sick, or I was dreaming."

"Oh, is it a dream? I have never kissed Murong before. How could I kiss such a cold woman who is completely the type I hate? There must be something wrong, something wrong. It must be a dream, it must be a dream. Sleep, don't care .”

Mu Qingcheng beat her head and the quilt again.His head shook like a rattle.

In the end, I really couldn't find a reason to convince myself, so I turned around, covered myself with the quilt, and fell asleep soundly.

After going to court in the morning, Huangfu Jingyan went to the Empress Dowager to greet her, and then returned to the Liuli Palace.

In the Liuli Palace, Huangfu Jingyan was sitting on a chair in front of a paulownia table, with his left hand on the table, and a jade pendant in his right hand, looking around, trying to get a clue.

"Your Majesty returned to the palace quite early today, is there something wrong?"

On the side, a woman in the attire of a court lady in her 50s brought a bowl of tea and placed it in front of Huangfu Jingyan.

"It's all right, Mammy. There is nothing to discuss this morning. I went to Yongle Palace to say hello and then I'll be back."

Huangfu Jingyan hurriedly put the jade pendant into his arms, raised his head to talk to the nanny, his eyes turned from cold to softer.

Mammy saw His Majesty's various weird behaviors since she came in, holding the jade pendant alone in a daze.It was the first time since she was a child that something made her feel so sad.

"Your Majesty came back a bit late last night, did you encounter something?"

Last night, Choushi came back after almost the end of the time. In the past, no matter how long you went out, Zishi usually came back. Last night, it was nearly an hour late.I was worried about it at first, but when I came back, my clothes were still a little messy, I wanted to ask, but I saw His Majesty went to bed directly, and didn't bother me.

With this strange behavior today, and that jade pendant that I have never seen before, did something happen last night?

Huangfu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed the hand of the nurse beside him, and asked her to sit down.

"Mother, there is something I have been unable to understand, can you tell me the reason?"

Looking at His Majesty who is so serious, although Mammy doesn't know what's going on, she is willing to die if she can help her solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything you want to ask, don't you need to be so polite?"

"Mommy, why did you tell me to marry the third miss of the Mu family?"

Huangfu Jingyan looked at Nanny with his blue eyes, wanting to express all the questions in his heart for many years.I have endured it for so many years, after what happened last night, I can no longer pretend not to care.

"Your Majesty, do you not like Miss Mu's family?"

Mammy also heard people say that His Majesty hardly ever goes to Xueyu Palace.Occasionally, it was rumored that Miss Mu's family would not live past twenty.I didn't care much about these things, but His Majesty suddenly asked today, something must have happened.

"No, Mammy, don't get me wrong, I just want to know the reason."

"I remember that when I was elected, I wanted to choose the second lady of the Mu family, but you stopped me from doing so. After two years, you said that you would let the third lady of the Mu family enter the palace. I don't know why, but everyone in the world knows that, The third miss of the Mu family is a sick child, and the second miss is both talented and beautiful, but why did you choose Mu Qingcheng instead of Mu Xiangcheng?"

Huangfu Jingyan frowned tightly, and the puzzled expression on his face was like a treasure hunter who wanted to know the secret of the treasure.

The blue eyes are deep but so dazzling.

"Your Majesty, do you know the strange things that happened in the imperial capital in the year that Miss Mu's third lady was born?"

"Has something strange happened in the imperial capital?"

Hearing Nanny's words, Huangfu Jingyan was startled.If it was the year Mu Qingcheng was born, he would be four years old. Although the memory is not deep, it is still there.If it was a shocking event, why would I not know it?

"Yes, at the end of March that year, the pear blossoms in the imperial capital hadn't bloomed yet. It should be said that there wasn't even a single one. The border wars were defeated one after another. The late emperor was depressed every day."

Mammy took a sip of tea and continued.

"On the eighth day of April, it rained heavily. After the heavy rain, at dusk, the sky was shrouded in a beam of purple light. At Xu time, the third lady of the Mu family was born. The purple light was only willing to recede. In the early morning of the next day, some palace people shouted in the palace, saying The pear blossoms in the imperial capital were in full bloom. The first emperor went out to check the situation, and it was true that all the pear blossoms in the imperial capital were in full bloom overnight. A day later, he received the news of the victory at the border. Three years from that year, the entire Huangfu Dynasty has been in good shape. .”

"Is this really the case? Why don't I remember?"

Huangfu Jingyan thought he should know about such an important matter, but he didn't have any memory, so he felt strange.

"Your Majesty was concentrating on studying at that time, so he didn't have time to care about these things. In the three years since the birth of the third lady of the Mu family, she almost died in Huangquan several times. The first emperor sent the best imperial doctor in the palace, but they couldn't heal her. Later, she was killed. People from Emei took it away, and they are lucky enough to survive until now."

When Mammy talked about the third miss of the Mu family, she felt more pity in her heart.Although I was lucky enough to meet him once before, his skinny appearance and his three-year-old age make him look about the same age as a one-year-old child.

At that time, she was just able to walk, and the Mu family regarded her as the apple of their eye.In order to treat the child, the best doctor in the world was invited, but there was no effect, and only one sentence was obtained in the end.This girl won't live past twenty words.

Although I don't know if the child can live past twenty, but her birth to the imperial capital should be a blessing to the entire Huangfu Dynasty, and it is not that simple.

"Really? But why did Mammy ask me to marry her? Everyone in the capital knows that she won't live to be twenty, so why would I marry her rather than Mu Xiangcheng?"

A second young lady who is both talented and beautiful, and a third young lady who is sickly and will not live to be twenty, no matter how you think about it, it is suitable to marry the second young lady.

After thinking about it for so many years, Huangfu Jingyan still didn't understand.The Mu family is very powerful, if they can gain the power of the Mu family, sooner or later they will be able to stabilize the country and gain the world.But marrying a sick young man who will die at any time is simply adding trouble to himself.

"The late emperor once said that this third lady of the Mu family is the one who brings good luck to the Huangfu dynasty. She is the savior of the entire Huangfu dynasty. I hope that His Majesty can marry her in the future."

"And the late Emperor also knew that Mu Wei would not easily send this daughter into the palace, so the old slave asked His Majesty to order her to enter the palace first, and then notify Mu Wei."

"So that's the case. How can a weak woman like Mammy change the Huangfu dynasty. The emperor's father is a little alarmist."

Huangfu Jingyan didn't believe in this kind of thing, a sick and weak woman, how capable would she be to change everything.

I played against her last night, although her kung fu is not weak, but she is frizzy, so she has no ability to do big things.

If it wasn't for being afraid of the power of the Mu family and not wanting to be an enemy of the Mu family, he would not have killed her.

But is it really so?The first time I saw her at that time, I had no intention of killing.He didn't seem to care at all that she would reveal her identity.It should be said that he would never believe that she would guess his identity and tell it.

Why was there a feeling of peace of mind?This is the first time that a trespasser has been let go.

He was obviously molested by her, but he didn't feel disgusted.As for her saying that she likes women, I don't think it's such a heinous thing.

Since ancient times, yin and yang have been reconciled, but that person did the opposite.If this kind of unethical thing happened to others, I would not do it at all, so why can't I hate her.

"Your Majesty, since the first emperor said it, there is some reason. The Mu family has been unwilling to let her go. If His Majesty hadn't made an order this time, this Mu Wei might not have sent his daughter to the palace even if he died. The Mu family said Mu Qingcheng sees it very seriously, for the whole family, her significance has already surpassed other children of the Mu family."

He doesn't care about government affairs, nor does he care about things outside the palace.But the Mu family, whose power accounts for half of the Huangfu dynasty, doesn't want to know, and will care about it.

"Well, Mammy, I understand. Go ahead and get busy. I will go to Yongle Palace to have dinner with the Empress Dowager at night. There is no need to prepare dinner here."

"No, the old slave will step down first."

After the nanny stepped back, Huangfu Jingyan took out the jade pendant.I saw it six years ago, and today it is still so exquisite and clear, with a faint luster on the surface, it looks like a first-class beautiful jade.

I picked it up last night, and I know it belongs to that person.What was that inexplicable feeling she gave me?Why would he completely let go of his wariness that he hadn't let go of in the past 20 years?What does she mean to herself?

Looking at the jade pendant, Huangfu Jingyan's heart became a little confused
