Confused the world

Chapter 40 Quietly Leaving the Palace

Because of Mu Qingcheng's words, Li Yan actually took Qin to Xueyu Palace the next day.Mu Qingcheng was totally stunned when she saw her, she was just being polite at that time, but she didn't expect Li Yan to take it seriously.

In the next few days, Mu Qingcheng was accompanied by Li Yan during the day and Huangfu Jingyan at night.Mu Qingcheng felt that these days were a bit tormented.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the middle of July, Mu Qingcheng has been planning to leave the palace, but the timing is not very good.

His Majesty has been staying in Xueyu Palace because he has not recovered from his injury, and Mu Qingcheng is not easy to drive people away.He wanted to tell her that he was going to leave the palace to recuperate, but when he saw her joyful blue eyes, the words in his mouth were held back, and he couldn't say anything.

He has always called His Majesty the "Iceman". After these few days of contact, Mu Qingcheng feels that she is actually not very cold at times, and the bad impression of her before has eased a lot.

In order to celebrate Murong Hanying's birthday in time, Mu Qingcheng couldn't sit still.

If there are no emergencies, you should be able to go to Hangzhou at the end of July and early August.Recently, the forces in the world are a little bit around the corner, and those who are against the Mu family are more or less concerned about themselves.Afraid of hidden troubles during the trip, I just want to go a few days earlier.

It was Murong's birthday at the end of August, and I wanted to prepare a special birthday for her, but I had to do it myself.Thinking of this, Mu Qingcheng went to Yongle Palace cheekily.

When the Queen Mother saw this person who had been recovering from illness, her fair cheeks were flushed, and she also knew that her body was recovering well.When the other concubines saw Mu Qingcheng for the first time, they had different expressions on their faces.

The matter of His Majesty's stay in Xueyu Palace is rumored in the palace, and it is difficult not to know.

People always like to exaggerate the facts, and those rumors made Mu Qingcheng really unpopular.

According to the rumors outside, the people around His Majesty also began to look at Mu Qingcheng differently.

"Concubine Xian's body is better?"

Liu Yihan asked with some concern, but her black eyes had another meaning.

Because of this incident, Mu Qingcheng has also become a lot more obedient, and began to learn to observe words and expressions so as not to make mistakes again.

She didn't miss the change in the Empress Dowager's eyes.As soon as he entered the main hall, Mu Qingcheng knew that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, each with a sense of searching.

Turning his eyes, Mu Qingcheng slowly bowed and said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. She's almost recovered."

"That's good, you are well, and Yan'er will be much happier."

The Empress Dowager smiled, and there was a hint of joy in her words.

For the Queen Mother's joy, Mu Qingcheng would not regard it as her concern for her recovery, she would only think that if she recovered, then would His Majesty not be in Xueyu Palace, so that she would not end up The name of a confidante.

Mu Qingcheng could somewhat guess what the Queen Mother was thinking.As for the thoughts of the other women in the harem, she never thought about it, or even guessed it.

"Empress Dowager, Cheng'er is here today to ask the Empress Dowager to agree to something?"

Mu Qingcheng lowered her eyelids, with a look of pain on her face.The things that seem to be said are a bit difficult for others, but they are also embarrassing.

With His Majesty's love for Mu Qingcheng, the Queen Mother also pays attention to her to some extent.

There are so many concubines in the harem, and she is the first woman to let His Majesty not go to the early court.They did not leave Xueyu Palace for three days, and the courtiers knew that His Majesty did not go to court early for three days because of female sex, but they also had great opinions.

Looking at the petite and weak woman in the hall, the queen mother straightened her face and spoke slowly.

"Concubine Xian, what can I do to ask for my condolences?"

Mu Qingcheng raised her head and said seriously.

"Empress Dowager, Cheng'er would like to ask Empress Dowager Enzhun to return to Emei to rest for a while. Since entering the palace, Cheng'er has been in poor health, causing His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to worry about many things, and all the sisters are worried. I am really sorry. This autumn is here. It started to get colder, and Cheng'er's body has been weak since he was a child, and he can't adapt to these drastic changes in the environment, so he wants to go back to Emei to recuperate for a while."

What Mu Qingcheng said is true, these words are also very cherished in Liu Yihan's eyes.It's just that when she returns to Emei at this time, where is she putting her and His Majesty's affection?

The two had been getting along for a few days before she left. The Queen Mother was worried that His Majesty would feel uncomfortable because of Mu Qingcheng's sudden departure, and it was difficult for her to make this decision herself.

"Concubine Xian, have you told His Majesty?"

Mu Qingcheng knew that the queen mother would say so, but she was fully prepared in her heart.

"Your Majesty has been busy with political affairs, and Cheng'er has not spoken to her yet. Today, with the consent of the Queen Mother, I will discuss it with Your Majesty later."

The black eyes are slightly lowered by half a point, and most of them are covered by the regular eyelashes.The queen mother wanted to take a closer look at Mu Qingcheng, but she couldn't see clearly.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what His Majesty was doing at Xueyu Palace in those three days, because His Majesty was not a womanizer, it was somewhat surprising that he did such a thing for no reason.

I know the identity of His Majesty.It's impossible to be a womanizer.Her Majesty must have her reasons for doing so.What's wrong with yourself?

"If His Majesty agrees, Aijia will never refuse."

This Mu Qingcheng said it was Emei, not the Mu family.The queen mother had many questions in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak.

Mu's family is in the imperial capital, so it is much more convenient for him to do anything.Emei is far away in Sichuan, it will take at least one month to go there, bumpy roads are inevitable, and it is somewhat unreasonable for Concubine Xian to go there to recuperate in a weak body.

"Cheng'er thanked the queen mother."

Mu Qingcheng inquired about the Queen Mother, chatted for a while, and left back to Xueyu Palace.

In the evening, Huangfu Jingyan came to Xueyu Palace.It feels like the atmosphere in the whole palace has changed, and it seems that there is no tension in the past.

Seeing Mu Qingcheng hanging on to a book leisurely and leisurely, looking at it seriously.The faint candlelight shone on her somewhat flushed cheeks, making her look even more charming, without the previous frailty.

Mu Qingcheng felt a hot gaze on her, looked up, and saw that it was Huangfu Jingyan.Slowly put down the scroll, and walked forward to salute.

"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Since His Majesty often comes to Xueyu Palace, the habit of notifying him is avoided.Every time this person came, it was always silent, which made Mu Qingcheng often entangled, whether this person likes to be elusive or not.

"Let's get down, I saw that you were a little absorbed in reading, so I didn't bother you."

"Your Majesty, have you not had dinner?"

Recently, she has gotten used to eating with him, but Mu Qingcheng is waiting for this person before eating at this moment, it seems that this has become a habit.

"It's so late, are you still waiting for me?"

Thinking of her waiting for him to eat, Huangfu Jingyan felt a warm current in his heart, passing through his heart inadvertently, warm and throbbing.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so the concubine is nothing? The concubine asked Xia Xiang and the others to serve a good meal, how about your majesty go wash up first?"

"it is good"

It was the first time someone was waiting like this, like a husband whose wife was waiting to go home, thinking about it so far.Huangfu Jingyan's eyes were full of smiles.

After finishing their work, the two began to eat, because Mu Qingcheng didn't like to waste food, so there were not many meals prepared.Just enough to fill your stomach.

Huangfu Jingyan reached out to pick up a piece of steamed fish with peeled spines, put it into Mu Qingcheng's bowl, and said softly.

"Eat more nutritious food, so that the body will be better."

Mu Qingcheng looked up and saw the smile on Huangfu Jingyan's mouth, and the gentle voice of concern.I froze for a moment, thinking it was my own illusion.This person just laughed?Really laughed.

It was the first time I saw Huangfu Jingyan smile, she smiled so beautifully.The corners of the mouth are slightly curved, and the thin lips are raised.The upturned sword eyebrows, the whole person looks so bright, even the candlelight at this moment has become her foil.There are still people who can laugh like this in this world.

After a while, Mu Qingcheng murmured fiercely in her heart: It's okay to look so good, if it's a woman, how many men will be fascinated.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Qingcheng lowered his head to eat, and did not look at Huangfu Jingyan, but suddenly thought of talking to her, so he raised his head silently, his eyes were a little sad.

She didn't know if Huangfu Jingyan would let her go.In the past few days of contact, she also knows that this person has a very stubborn temper. Sometimes the more he contradicts her, the more stubborn she becomes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to leave the palace and return to Emei to recuperate for a period of time, and I hope for your majesty's permission."

Mu Qingcheng deliberately pretended to be pitiful, with a little tenderness in her eyes, to make her even more fragile.

When I came here, I had been to Yongle Palace and heard the Queen Mother talk about this matter.Why did Mu Qingcheng leave the palace, she herself guessed to a certain extent.

If she really went to Emei to recuperate, she would be relieved, but unfortunately not.

After staying here for a few days, one day I overheard that they were going to Hangzhou.Hangzhou, that's where Murong Hanying lives, and Mu Qingcheng probably left the palace for her.

There was a soreness in my heart, this person had no place in his heart at all.Even though he was greedy, he couldn't bear to see her suffer.

"How long are you going?"

The voice was a little lonely and bleak.There was a trace of pain in the slightly drooping eyes.

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, she thought she was wrong.Is that sad?But why did she have that expression, as if she would never come back.

"About three months."

Mu Qingcheng put the chopsticks aside, and pursed her mouth with a handkerchief.Putting his hands on his lap, he looked at Huangfu Jingyan with both eyes.

"So long?"

"It takes two months to go back and forth from Sichuan, three months is not a long time."

"Isn't it good to rest at Mu's house?"

Huangfu Jingyan looked at Mu Qingcheng with begging eyes, the movement of holding up the chopsticks stopped there, and there was no further movement.

Mu Qingcheng's black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there were complex emotions in her dark eyes.

Why this person is like this, whether she is in the palace or not, shouldn't make much difference to her, she looks like she has abandoned her.

"The concubine is used to living in Emei. Although the environment in the imperial capital is good, the concubine is still not used to it. Shu is farther away, but the environment can make the concubine feel more peaceful and recover faster."

What Mu Qingcheng said may be reasonable, he has never been to Sichuan, and he doesn't know the environment there.She can't stop it by herself, and she has always understood this cognition.

"Okay, go back early."

She agreed so easily, Mu Qingcheng was still a little surprised.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and Huangfu Jingyan returned to the Liuli Palace. This was the first time in a long time that he returned to the Liuli Palace to spend the night.

Two days later, Mu Qingcheng packed her luggage and left the palace.Before leaving, he left quietly without notifying others.

When Huangfu Jingyan arrived, she resolutely left the palace for an hour.

After Mu Qingcheng left, Huangfu Jingyan returned to his previous indifferent appearance.But the heart has changed, it is no longer as calm as water, but with some kind of loss and loneliness.
