Sheng Shi Merciful Light

As soon as Mu Ci came down from the hill, he received a servant sent by Emperor Deguang. He did not bring an imperial decree, but only persuaded him with full sincerity. Seeing that you have gained weight and lost weight, let's have a meal together by the way."

Mu Ci didn't go back to the palace, the carriage turned directly into Nande Gate, and went straight into the palace, just in time for lunch.

Shi Zhi, who accompanied Mu Ci all the way in the star-chasing car, was going to enter the palace with his servants, and stared at Mu Ci all the way and refused to give up.Mu Ci didn't comfort him, she just hooked his shoulder and whispered something in his ear.Although Shi Zhi was reluctant, he was still obedient and led someone to lurk at a certain secret passage outside the palace... His already calm heart suddenly became uneasy, and he glanced at Mou Yu, full of threats.

——If you betray the master, you will definitely not be a hereditary king, and I will send you to hell.

Mou Yu didn't feel any pain, and walked into the palace gate with his arms around Mu Ci's shoulders.

With a bang, the main door of Nande Gate was closed heavily behind them, and neither of them turned back. Mou Yu looked calm, but he was gossiping: "What did you say to him? "

"I said I would be in the Chonghua Palace!" Mu Ci said. The Chonghua Palace was guarded by three hundred Jinyi Guards. In fact, the three hundred Qiqiu troops who won the confrontation with the Jin Yiwei were ordered by Mu Ci to change their defenses and enter.Therefore, Chonghua Palace is a safe island in the palace for Mu Ci.

Mou Yu said: "But according to the information I received, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Mu Ci said calmly but firmly: "In Chonghua Palace!"

Well, in Chonghua Palace, Mou Yu never doubted Mu Ci's methods, he just smiled and said, "I didn't realize that Shi Zhi was so stupid before, and that such an obvious divorce scheme would fall into the trap. If I really want to do something to you, There are opportunities."

"I'm really relieved of you. I haven't asked you what plan you have until now?"

Mou Yu hugged Mu Ci's shoulders: "This means you trust me!"

"Yeah, I'm good enough for you. If one day even you want to kill me...then I must have betrayed my relatives. Why should I resist?" Mu Ci skillfully poked Mou Yu's elbow, "Besides, don't joke Stone, if he cares about it, he will be chaotic."

Mou Yu was unprepared, only felt that his chest was hit by a huge hammer, and he bent over in pain, unable to speak...

Hey, this force value...

Mu Ci walked away from him indifferently, without even glancing at him.

Mou Yu managed to slow down, rubbed his chest, followed Mu Ci, and complained: "There is a new love and forget the old love." The cold and serious face was thick with frost, and said: "Be careful what you eat, and then Just watch the show!"

Most of the guards on the side were old members of the Yulin Army, who bowed their heads in salute, kept silent and did not dare to look at him.

Everyone knew that with the expression on the former commander's face, someone must be unlucky.

……

Emperor Deguang Mu Zhan knew that his ninth younger brother was entering the palace, so he couldn't wait for a moment, so he waited directly in front of the Qingyuan Hall, the main hall at the front, eager to see through...

Then he saw his ninth younger brother coming in gorgeous steps... Wearing a white brocade dark embroidered silver dragon king suit, flashing bright streamers in the sun, and a white fox fur cloak with a halo...

Every movement of his hands and every movement of his feet is like flowing clouds and flowing water, with a myriad of demeanors, and the light dances lightly and gracefully with his footsteps... The divine residence that descended from the mortal world is nothing more than this.

Even if he was bathed in a whole body of light, he couldn't suppress his own noble brilliance at all.The majestic and magnificent palace, the bright sun and white clouds in the sky, all turned into a nothingness background, and became the foil for Mu Ci.

Mu Zhan couldn't help walking towards him, walking faster and faster, and finally, under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, he forgot to maintain the demeanor of an emperor, and ran away...

near...

He saw clearly the small face of the ninth younger brother that was as gluey as the bright moon, and the first thing he noticed was not his more shocking beauty, but... the small face was no longer thin and pale, and the plump facial lines were more soft, revealing a healthy look Blush, lips are beautiful!

Very beautiful, very moving.

Mu Zun's heart, which was devastated by all kinds of bad things, was instantly healed.He opened his arms to meet Mu Ci, and directly hugged his ninth younger brother in his arms, resurrecting with blood and blue.

Mu Ci didn't move, and quietly let Mu Zan hug her enough.

Mu Zan also picked up the person, weighed it, and said with a smile: "It's heavy!" Then he pinched Mu Ci's waist with his hands, "You've grown flesh."

"Itch!" Mu Ci patted his hand off.

Mu Zhan didn't mind either, and smiled all over his face: "It seems that you are really happy in Xiaoyao Palace, you should go a few more times." He was very reluctant, "Just don't go for so long again, I won't be able to see you."

"I will always come back." Mu Ci comforted him.

Mu Zan smiled even wider, pulled Mu Ci and said, "Let's go, have lunch first, don't rush back in the afternoon, take a walk and rest..." I wanted to leave Mu Ci to take a nap by my side, but remembered that the concubine misunderstood him for profaning Brother, shut up in time to avoid suspicion, and turned abruptly, "Let's talk again, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Mu Ci didn't seem to notice, nodded: "Okay, I want to go back to Chonghua Palace, there is a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus sweets I made myself in Hehuan Palace."

Osmanthus candy?

Osmanthus glutinous rice balls?

Emperor Deguang's eyes lit up, he immediately changed his route, went straight to the Chonghua Palace, and told Li Hai: "Put the lunch in the Chonghua Palace."

What?Chonghua Palace?The Chonghua Palace that is still guarded by three hundred Jinyi guards?Li Hai's trembling voice trembled in fear: "Your Majesty~~ Your Majesty is already in~~Hall of Supreme Harmony~~prepare~~"

"Huh?" Mu Ci was puzzled.

Emperor Deguang never let go of Mu Ci's hand, so it's not easy to mention that Concubine Xie Xian said that you must make amends for saying bad things about you. The inner curtain of a big man is not fair, shame... He avoided the important and said lightly: "This time your sister-in-law is here, Prepare a banquet and want to see you."

"Sister-in-law..." Mu Ci's small face became serious, and she said solemnly, "I am young, so I should greet my sister-in-law. Let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Mou Yu, who lowered his sense of existence and followed Mu Ci, narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything, choosing to trust Mu Ci.Then his five senses were keenly aware that Li Hai, who had a tense face, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mou Yu resisted not looking at Li Hai, and remained calm.

Mu Zhan himself didn't think too much about the detours, and he didn't care where he went. Seeing Mu Ci's agreement, he knew that he was only willing to get close to his sister-in-law for his own sake, so he was moved: "Ninth Brother, you are still sensible!" Then Mu Ci changed direction and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a while, Mu Ci chatted with Emperor Deguang and said with concern: "Third brother, you have lost weight again, you can't ruin your body just because you are young."

Mu Zhan was a little touched by the concern, and said: "Actually, I am used to handling government affairs, but there is no place to relax all day long, but I will be much more relaxed when you come back to help third brother share a little." The mood will also be better. a lot.

"Okay, bro, you should do the work for you. Third brother, your body is the most important thing. I really don't want you to work hard and hurt your body like your ancestors." Mu Ci said very sincerely.

Leaving aside the personal relationship and the tacit understanding between the two on state affairs, Mu Zhan's queen has not yet had a child, and he has no legitimate son. The first prince who is almost ten years old, and the second prince who is eight years old are all born to Concubine Xie Xian, and the third prince died young. , the fourth prince born to a low-ranking concubine is only two years old... This means that if something happens to Mu Zhan, the eldest prince will succeed... The underage prince needs the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain, and it will be hard to say what will happen next.

Mu Ci couldn't bear the Xie family's woman climbing on his head and pointing fingers, and if he didn't keep it together, there would be a brother-in-law fight.To be honest, he is living a happy life now, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't want to be trapped in the palace at all.

Besides, his sexual orientation, wanting a male concubine in the future is enough to shock the world, a male queen or something...

Sincerely is rare, Mu Yan could hear the sincere care of his ninth younger brother, and squeezed Mu Ci's hand very emotionally, and said with an inch: "Then ninth brother, if I miss you, you must come if I call you into the palace, and you Eat together, my appetite will be much better, and my body will be healthy."

"Okay! You don't think I'm picky about my food." Mu Ci readily agreed.

Mu Zhan laughed out loud: "Haha... Who doesn't know that the king of Chu is good at eating, and the imperial chef trained by him is lucky to have the best skills? Ninth brother, you are greedy for me."

Mu Ci also smiled and said, "Speaking of food, I happened to be bringing Qin Shan with me, so why not invite him to serve in the palace? I recently developed a few special dishes, which most people still can't eat. I would like to invite you to try them."

Mu Zun was already drooling over the cook, so he nodded when he heard the special dishes, and told Li Hai: "Xuan Qinshan will go to the Imperial Cuisine to take the spoon."

Li Hai was nervous again: "Your Majesty...this..."

Mu Zhan felt that something was wrong, frowned and looked at Li Hai: "What's the matter with you today?"

Mu Ci looked at Li Hai, and the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Those eyes were too dark, and there was a kind of dark condensation that was almost magical. illusion.

Li Hai suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and quickly knelt down, sweating violently. Nuonuo responded, "No...no...to see His Highness so...happy, villain...a little... dizzy..."

Mu Zan laughed twice. He always knew that Li Hai was very afraid of Mu Ci, so he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the ninth brother never acts recklessly." He told him, "Go to Xuanqin Mountain quickly."

Li Hai couldn't wait to retreat, so he immediately retreated.

The two brothers started chatting again, and Mu Ci chatted again: "Three meals should be fixed and fixed, remember to drink a glass of milk and eat an egg custard every day."

Mu Zan grabbed Mu Ci's hand and shook it tightly: "I see, Brother Jiu, you still care about me the most."

While chatting and walking to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Mu Zan observed Mu Ci and saw that he did not suffer from shortness of breath after walking a few steps like before. .”

Mu Ci stepped into the main hall, although she was mentally prepared, she was shocked by the gentle and smiling Concubine Xie Xian, and immediately the corners of her mouth flattened, and her calm indifference returned, and she asked in a cool tone: "Who is she? "

Mu Zhan's heart skipped a beat. I don't know why the ninth younger brother changed his face. He was a little afraid of Mu Ci's displeasure rather than fear, and said softly: "She is your sister-in-law, Concubine Xie Xian..."

Mu Ci glanced at the frozen Concubine Xie Xian with contempt, and slowly shook her head at Mu Zan: "I only have one sister-in-law, who is the wife you are marrying as a matchmaker. After the Empress Dowager Ceremony, Empress Mei was recorded on the jade plate."

Because Mei Rong is a beard, the news related to him was deliberately blurred and played down by everyone, and Queen Mei never mentioned it, so Mu Zhan didn't know that his ninth younger brother rescued Mei Rong and had friendship with the Mei family.He was a little confused for a moment - why did the ninth brother suddenly mention that woman who had been neglected for ten years and he had almost forgotten?

But even without Mei Rong's factor, Mu Ci would still mention Queen Mei at this time.Seeing Mu Zhan's confused face, he thought to himself: The survey shows that Queen Mei's character is not bad, but she really didn't work hard these years, and she didn't have any sense of existence.

"You guys like to play games, play behind closed doors, don't call me anymore!" Mu Ci looked indifferent, flicked her sleeves lightly, turned around and stepped out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Mu Zhan was stunned for a while, then suddenly rushed out, and in a hurry hugged Mu Ci and said, "Good brother, is there anything we brothers can't talk about? Don't be angry, you can directly point out what the third brother did wrong, don't be bored In my heart, I have been separated from me."

Mu Ci didn't break free, but said helplessly: "Third brother, you have a queen, but you called a concubine to entertain me. That's fine, why do you want me to call her 'sister-in-law'?"

Only then did Mu Zhan know what the problem was.

He doted on Concubine Xie Xian himself, and left the affairs of the harem to the concubine and her to take care of. He had two sons, and subconsciously regarded her as his wife.But after all, Concubine Xie Xian is not the main wife.Ninth Brother didn't care about Concubine Xian saying bad things about him, but... oh, why did I forget, Ninth Brother is the most well-behaved person.

Even his own throne was given to him by the ninth younger brother who abided by the rule of "no heir to establish an elder".

Mu Xun was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he pulled Mu Ci to apologize: "Yes, yes, third brother is wrong. I will ask your real sister-in-law to come out, don't be angry." Hurry up and order the servant to go to Queen Xuan and give it to Concubine Xie Xian She winked and told her to leave quickly... Concubine Xie Xian, who had listened to all the conversations between the two brothers, had a look of terror on her face that was about to spurt blood.

concubine?concubine!How do you call "sister-in-law"?

In a simple sentence, it is ten critical strikes!Instantly killed, Concubine Xie Xian almost went berserk, didn't she?

Must kill him!

……

Mu Ci didn't care about the woman's hateful eyes at all, and said coldly, "It's disgusting, I don't want to eat here."

What else?Mu Zan had no choice but to lead Mu Ci to Chonghua Palace.I also don't care if it makes sense for the elder sister-in-law to move to see the younger uncle. In short... now the ninth brother is the biggest!

Mu Zun made amends all the way, and it was only when he arrived at Chonghua Palace that Mu Ci showed his smile again.Mu Zhan also likes this place very much, following Mu Ci into it, he felt that every scene and everything was a little strange, yet familiar.

In fact, Mu Zhan lived in Chonghua Palace for several years.When he was nine years old, he was framed by his fifth younger brother and was almost beaten to death by the late emperor. Concubine Xie Chen was the one who rescued him when she failed in a palace battle and chanted scriptures at Jingye Temple, and brought him to be educated in Chonghua Palace. upbringing.

Coincidentally, he happened to live in the Hall of Hehuan.

In those few years, although he never saw Concubine Chen smile, it was indeed the best time in his life, but unfortunately later... everything disappeared.

Mu Zan never came to the Chonghua Palace after he became an adult. Before that, he was locked up by the first emperor. Later, when his ninth younger brother moved in, he was grounded and had no chance to come.The last time the ninth younger brother entered the palace to meet him in the Chonghua Palace, he only went to the Hefeng Pavilion.Now, Mu Ci took him to the Hall of Hehuan, where every flower and scene were so familiar, which aroused his longing.

Mu Zhan forgot all about the episode that just came out, dragged his ninth younger brother and ran quickly to an osmanthus tree, excitedly said: "I planted this tree myself, and I water him every day..." He pulled again Mu Ci went to see his height mark carved on the tree, and even stood under the tree for comparison... He was very happy to find that the mark was slightly shorter than him.

Mu Ci didn't even want to complain about him, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree grows slowly, and it's still in the north, so it's good to survive.

Maybe it's really happy. Mu Zan, who is almost 30 years old, is like a big child. He took Mu Ci to see many places and recalled many interesting things when he was a child.Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he measured and gestured among several sweet-scented osmanthus trees... looking for something.

Mu Zan knocked on his head: "Why did I forget? Why did I forget to mark it? Where was it buried?"

"What are you looking for?" Mu Ci asked.

"Osmanthus wine, I remember that my aunt brewed it by hand and buried two jars. But back then..." Mu Zan's eyes gradually filled with pain...he couldn't remember.Because he never dared to recall what happened after he buried two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.His aunt had an accident and died of illness in the cold palace, leaving behind a younger brother who was only five years old... He often sneaked to the cold palace to accompany his younger brother to grow up outside the cold palace wall... Later, things changed and people changed, and the torture began at a single thought His long long regret and pain.

Mu Ci lightly touched Mu Zhan's face: "Third Brother, don't cry, I've already dug out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

"Huh?" Mu Yan touched his face in a daze, only to realize that he was crying in front of his younger brother, quickly wiped it off and asked, "Where is it?"

"Sister Chaoyang helped me dig it out." Mu Ci led Mu Zan into the study of Hehuan Hall, and after searching for a long time, he found a wine jar with dried mud from the bookcase.

"It smells so good!" Mu Zhan was intoxicated, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus filled the air for a moment...

When Mu Ci heard it, she also looked nostalgic: "There is a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that my mother has already drank with my father. This is the only pot left in this world."

Concubine Xie Chen is the goddess in Mu Zhan's heart. She is really a woman respected by his mother. He is full of longing, walks over and squats down, and caresses the wine jar very gently, as if stroking a lover's cheek...

Mu Ci also touched the wine jar, heaved a long sigh, and looked up to see Mu Zun's face was full of tears...

"Third brother?"

Mu Zhan came back to his senses, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"If you like it so much, let's drink this wine today!" Mu Ci said.

Seeing Mu Ci go to move the seal mud, Mu Zun quickly pressed Mu Ci's hand, and then took a deep...deep... breath, letting the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus fill his entire chest, and let this warmth fill him always With countless regrets in his soul, he choked up and said, "Don't drink! Brother... don't drink today!"

Mu Ci looked up at him, her dark eyes were bright and pure, like the child who was attached to her in childhood.

Mu Yan's heart was so soft that it almost melted, he gently grabbed Mu Ci's hand, put the wine jar away, and then touched Mu Ci's flawless pink face: "Hey, my good brother, wait for a good day to drink."

"What day?"

"Girls drink daughter's wine when they get married. When you get married, we brothers will drink this jar of mother's wine again to comfort my aunt's spirit in heaven."

Mu Ci said heartily: You are in the mood to drink when I get married, you have a big heart.But now he didn't say anything, put the wine jar back together with Mu Zhan, and kept it well.
