Sheng Shi Merciful Light
Chapter 73 Stepping into a Pit Called "Mu Ci"
Sure enough, the Emperor Tianshou couldn't hold back, and offered rewards as if he wanted the whole world to know, and the whole harem knew about it—the newly promoted Concubine Wen in the palace was expecting pregnancy.
This saved Mu Ci's trouble, and he also understood why Mou Yu showed the expression of "you're going to be in trouble", worried that he would lose his composure again.
Because in the eyes of others, it is indeed a trouble.
Concubine Wen is said to be very similar to Concubine Xie Chen, she is super beautiful, but has a good temper. In the past two years, she has been favored by the Emperor, and now she has a younger child.Parents love the youngest son, so how much guilt will be left in the Emperor's heart for his love for Concubine Xie Chen?How much love for Mu Ci will be transferred to younger children?
After all, even Mu Ci himself knew that the only person he could rely on was the Heaven-sent Emperor.
Mu Ci also thinks this trick is pretty good, if he is a little weak chicken, crying and complaining all day long, purely relying on the emperor's limited guilt and favor to live, maybe this move can really cause him some trouble.
But it is a pity that the connection between him and Emperor Tianshou has never been about feelings, but about his value, which is the common interest of both parties.As long as Emperor Tianshou feels that he is worth more than anyone else, Emperor Tianshou will remove all obstacles.Because he is a qualified emperor first, and then his father, he is a sufficiently cold-blooded existence.
But even Mou Yu didn't understand, and began to worry, and needed Mu Ci to wake him up.Most of them can't see the essence from the appearance of "the emperor loves the king of Changle".
……
Therefore, Mu Yi, the fifth prince who went to visit Concubine Xie, felt that his mother and concubine played well.Although he suffered a small loss, he made King Changle offend King Shou and diverted his father's attention.
Waiting for the emperor's interest in that little bastard to fade away... Humph!
Concubine Xie is suffering...Son, although I am very happy that King Changle is unlucky this time, it is really not me.No matter how stupid I am, I won't do it so blatantly, okay?I have been enduring it for almost 30 years, and I have been enduring it. There is no reason why I can't bear it for so many days.
But who would believe that, Baiji is a confidant who has served Concubine Xie for eight years.
For the sake of the third prince and Princess Yongjia, you also have motives, imperial concubine.
Even his own son didn't believe it, so he said with a smile: "I know that the mother and concubine are wronged, and the father will figure it out in a while." But that expression was completely different, and then he left.
Mu Yi went to the Palace of Renming, which was heavily guarded, but the queen kept saying she was sick and didn't see her.Mu Yi and the prince chatted a few gossips at the window and left without involving anything in the palace.
The relationship between Mu Yi and the prince is very close, and her mother's brother Mu Nian has to step aside.He is the only one who will visit the prince on the cusp of this storm.When the prince sees him, he will be more or less normal and say something.
Ye Xingwei, who was monitoring in the dark, did not collect any effective information, so he reported to Emperor Tianshou and it was over.
……
Emperor Tianshou didn't go to Hehuan Hall in the afternoon, as if he really left his beloved Jiulang aside.Mu Ci didn't show any dissatisfaction, and she didn't seem to be waiting for anyone. Even An Qing couldn't help but look at the door a few times, but Mu Ci remained calm as usual, doing what she had to do.
He took a nap, exercised for a while, and kept reading the residence newspapers and some idle books over the years.
Mu Ruosong had already heard about the happy event in the palace, and he marveled at how strong the Tianshou Emperor was, so he didn't think much about it.He found that Mu Ci's reading speed of mansion newspapers was sometimes very fast, and he put them down after passing by, while the speed of some mansion newspapers was...relatively speaking, a bit slow.
Like... don't understand?
Considering that he was born in the cold palace and had no formal education, it is not surprising.
Mu Ruosong asked sincerely, "Do you need help?"
Mu Ci just waved his hand, and didn't respond any more.
Mu Guangti is more active, busy all the time, busy with taking clothes, packing books and other things, he doesn't talk much, but he likes to use this sentence pattern: "Ah Ci, you can't loose your hair, you should tie it up, pay attention deportment."
"Ah Ci, you can't throw away the medicine, you should drink it."
"Ah Ci, you can't... you should..."
Mu Ci put down the mansion newspaper, glanced at him casually, and asked, "Who asked you to dictate how I should behave? The emperor?"
Mu Guangti closed his mouth, a little embarrassed.
In fact, Wei Zhong reminded him not to interfere with Mu Ci too much, but something like a turtle-haired personality cannot be borne if he wants to.And... He didn't want to stay, it was a bit deliberate.
Although Mu Ci is very indifferent, he is not as scary as the outside world says, he is quite polite and kind-hearted, but...his grandfather King Qi did not ask him to leave the palace, but he himself feels that there is no future with Mu Ci. If you die early, everything depends on yourself, there is no need to bet your future on a little prince in the cold palace.
Mu Ci gave another meaningful look: "We haven't gotten to know each other well enough to be called by name. As an examiner, you must be clear about your identity. You are only here to assist me. Be an arm instead of a brain. Remember not to deviate. If If you don't like my behavior and attitude, you can leave."
Mu Guangti's face turned red when he was told, but he had no words to refute, let alone turn his face.
"I don't need to serve as an official. I'm sorry, but I'm actually the one who caused you trouble." Mu Ci was not unreasonable, he said sincerely, "I will explain to the emperor that you can leave with peace of mind."
Mu Guangti thought for a while, and seized the opportunity to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Mu Ruosong, who was the only one left, his eyes flickered, and the meaning was unclear.
Mu Ruosong shook his head at him.
Neither he nor Mu Guangti has a father, because they have a good relationship with each other, needless to say, he understands everything.
Mu Guangti sighed, and finally went out without saying anything.
Mu Ci sketched something on the paper with a wooden pen, without raising his head, he said to Mu Ruosong, "I know you are Chaoyang's eldest nephew..."
"I want to stay!"
Mu Ci was not surprised, looked at Mu Ruosong's hair crown, and asked, "Is this the crown ceremony for you?"
"Yes!"
"When?"
"Yesterday."
"Prince Ding feels sorry for you...what word did you choose?"
"Zi Ren."
"Ren? Good word! Mu Ziren, did you voluntarily enter the palace?" Although it was a question, there was a three-point certainty.
"Yes!"
"You have done a good job and are a good boy, so I can't keep you. The palace is not a good place. I will explain clearly to the emperor that you will not leave hidden dangers to your family if you leave." Mu Compassion is always transparent.
But Mu Ruosong shook his head, and said solemnly: "Uncle Wang, I won't leave. Although I have never been a court attendant before, I will learn how to assist you."
Mu Ci stared at him for a while, but asked, "What did you call me just now?"
"...Uncle Wang?"
Mu Ci waved his hands indifferently: "Let's go, you are too simple."
Mu Ruosong didn't know where he offended this person. According to his seniority, he was called Uncle Wang.Ah... Could it be that Uncle Wang called him old?The Mu family really doesn't like being called old, and this boy is half a year younger than himself, so...the name is wrong.
But Mu Ci hadn't chosen the word yet, and she wasn't familiar enough to call her by name, so she had no choice but to...
"I stayed here voluntarily, Your Highness!" This address was extremely serious and respectful.
Mu Ruosong didn't think it hurt his self-esteem.
Although they are all surnamed Mu and belong to the royal family, there is still a big difference - the prince will be a prince in the future, and at worst he will be an heir, but he is a few generations away from the current emperor, and he will soon be out of five clothes.If Prince Ding didn't have the merits of being a dragon, how could he be a prince?
It is still unknown how the future new emperor will treat Dingwangfu.
He is just a little eldest grandson, and he doesn't inherit the title. If he doesn't have great meritorious service, he is a great duke who can scare the common people, but he is not very noble in front of the real son and grandson of the dragon.Therefore, there is a gap between him and the King of Changle, and it is not an exaggeration to call "Your Highness".
Mu Ci raised her head, and said calmly: "You can't get anything from me, and you may encounter unfair treatment, or even danger."
"I don't want to gain anything, and I'm not afraid of danger." Mu Ruosong replied.
Mu Ci felt familiar, and he often told Chaoyang and Mou Yu this kind of nonsensical answer.When I said it, I didn't think it was a bit of a slap in the face to be greeted inadvertently.
Mu Ruosong stood there with rooted feet, making up his mind not to leave.
"It's up to you. You can leave whenever you want. I don't force others. The emperor has me to say, and I won't make it difficult for you." After Mu Ci finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to draw.
……
No one expected that in the end only Mu Ruosong would stay, and the Emperor Tianshou thought he would be the first to "annoy" Xiao Jiulang to be invited away.
Parents are ignorant, and children are sensible, which is also very good, and must be rewarded.The other children and parents are too ignorant, dare to play tricks in front of him?
Although he, Xiao Jiulang, was generous and said he didn't care about it, but he still had to hit it!
The Emperor Tianshou beat the three families, downgraded the food and city standards of each prefecture, and other small punishments. In short, the three families, especially the king of Shou, were frightened.The Emperor Tianshou gave many rewards to the Ding Palace with great fanfare. He appointed Mu Ruosong as the attendant of the King of Changle, appointed him as the regular attendant of You Sanqi, and granted him the title of Zhongfeng Doctor. The official title is more honorable than ordinary county princes, and adds [-]% to the salary of the city, and is authorized to wear goldfish bags.
Ding Wang thought: "Is it possible to buy my eldest grandson with such a small favor?"Your youngest son's temper, my A Song can't bear it for a few days.King Ding is ready, even if he is jealous of the emperor, he will take his eldest grandson out of the palace... Anyway, it's not his family who did it, so why should he lose some food and rewards? My family wants to lose my eldest son's only seedling, Want to bring the whole family?
Anyway, the marriage with Xie's family was put on hold, or he also sent Ah Song away, um, to the northwest.
Emperor Tianshou is currently planning to abolish the crown prince, so he has to seek stability and dare not force him too far.
He only waited for his eldest grandson to be wronged in the palace, and then he took him out.
……
The Emperor Tianshou didn't come to Hehuan Hall to play with Xiao Jiulang until the next day when he went to court.He found a reason to send Mu Ruosong out of the Hall of Hehuan, but still brought over the playbook, even yesterday's one, and let Xiao Jiulang "look at it".
Mu Ci looked calm, reading the playbook.
Emperor Tianshou's whole face was radiant, his creases were stretched quite a bit, he smiled smirkly from time to time, looked at Mu Ci and said, "Yesterday, Emperor Father had some happy events, so he didn't come over."
"Ah."
"Don't you ask me what kind of happy event it is?" I was so happy that Emperor Tianshou urgently wanted to share it with others.
"Congratulations!" Indifferently, not much joy, of course, no complaints.
"Hey, you know?" Emperor Tianshou smirked, and couldn't help poking Jiulang's arm with his finger, "You're going to be an older brother."
Mu Ci didn't speak.
Emperor Tianshou poked him again: "Jiulang, don't worry, Father will treat you well."
Mu Ci glanced at the emperor lightly: "Can you be quiet?"
Emperor Tianshou felt that his son must be jealous because of his indifference, so he couldn't help showing a smirk.I imagined that Xiao Jiulang was holding Zhengtai's fleshy meat, and taught him to write...but suddenly thought that I might not wait until then.However, to be able to have a child, my health should not be too bad, maybe I can live a few more years, and live past sixty...seventy...
At that time, Jiulang will soften... The Emperor Tianshou laughed again.
After reading the memorial, Mu Ci was hesitant to speak when Emperor Tianshu sent someone to clean it up...Seeing that Mu Ci didn't pay him any attention and didn't hand him the ladder, he could only speak bluntly: "Concubine Wen... is a bit harsh, Said that the meal is tasteless, I want to eat..."
Just as Mu Ci picked up the wooden pen and was about to write something, he didn't lift his head when he heard the words: "Qin Shan doesn't lend it out!"
Emperor Tianshou was stupefied, touched his nose, and said in a good-tempered manner: "She is weak, and she vomits whatever she eats, father... a child of this age, the imperial doctor said it would be somewhat unstable."
"I don't like to say one thing twice." Mu Ci said.
Emperor Tianshou was flatly rejected, his brows were slightly frowned, he felt a little unhappy, and said: "Just let Qin Shan go to serve for a few days...he is the imperial cook in the palace."
"Yes, so if you insist on taking Qin Shan away, I can't help it, but...you will regret it!"
Emperor Tianshou was even more unhappy. He was very happy at first, as if pouring cold water into his head, he frowned and said loudly: "Jiulang, that's a bigger child, and it won't shake you under the father..."
"Really?" Mu Ci interrupted him lightly, "Then what do you mean by losing your temper at me?"
"I..." Emperor Tianshou was so blocked that his heart ached, it really hurt.
"It's still the same sentence, Qin Shan doesn't borrow it. If you don't want me to bury your unborn baby with you, don't take Qin Shan or any royal chef who has a relationship with Qin Shan, and don't let me have anything to do with that child. "
The Emperor Tianshou narrowed his eyes slightly...
"I advise you, it's best to find out who asked you, or the pregnant concubine, to ask Qin Shan to go there." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he waved to Emperor Tianshou, "Also, don't blindly hope Things will go for the best, so prepare for the worst."
The last sentence is a pun, and the Emperor Tianshou was said... a heart was thrown into the ice cellar.
The Emperor Tianshou couldn't help but get angry... It doesn't feel good for anyone who just flies to the sky with high ambitions and faces the possibility of being knocked down to the ground.He grabbed Mu Ci's wrist, and Long Wei released...
"What do you know, speak clearly!"
"Let go!" Mu Ci tried to free his wrist.
"Speak clearly!" Clamping harder.
"You know your age, your body..."
"You said that child is not..."
"No!" Mu Ci ignored the pain that almost broke the bones of his hand, and calmly interrupted the emperor, "The concubine stays in the palace every day, and you don't have any evidence, so don't doubt your child's lineage casually."
Emperor Tianshou: "..." These words hit his weakness. He observed carefully, but he still didn't see any resentment in Mu Ci's eyes.He lacked confidence and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You can figure out what I mean after two days of calm down, but I don't know if you have two more days... let go!"
Even though the two were quarreling, Mu Ci Qingrun's voice was still steady and calm, without a trace of excitement, which made Tianshoudi feel from Xiao Jiulang a kind of clear and clear mirror that still didn't move a piece of clothing in the stormy waves. The ups and downs of the mood also calmed down.
Emperor Tianshou let go of his hand, and seeing that Jiulang's thin wrist was already red, he couldn't help but grab it again, rubbed it lightly twice, and said distressedly: "Why don't you say it hurts? You...you are always so stubborn."
Mu Ci indifferently withdrew her hand.
Emperor Tianshou couldn't help sighing, and warned himself not to get angry with Jiulang again, it was completely to make himself unhappy, and asked softly: "Father, what have you been doing these two days... What do you think of, tell Father."
"You know what your harem is like and what the situation is now. It's a certainty that this kind of thing will be used by others. You are so happy now..." Mu Ci raised her hand to stop the Tianshoudi who was about to speak, " It's not a question, no answer is needed."
Emperor Tianshou: "..." He closed his mouth.
"The happier you are, the sadder you will be when an accident happens. Such a big emotional gap can easily destroy a person's will." When Mu Ci said this, she still had an unshakable calm voice.
"It's inevitable to frame me by the way. Everyone will say that I'm jealous of that child who stole your favor, and I can't argue with it." Mu Ci calmly looked at Emperor Tianshou, and said lightly: "I lost two at once...Your age Not too young, and my health has not been good for the past two years, so I can't bear the stimulation of such great sorrow and joy."
After thinking about it, Emperor Tianshou could understand that normal people couldn't bear the ups and downs, not to mention his poor health.Then he couldn't help laughing... Does Jiulang know that his father values you?Is this caring about the father?
"There's no need to laugh. I'm not talking about personal relationships with you. It's just that even as a stranger, I have humanity and a basic conscience. I don't want to see an old man suffer this crime at such an old age. I don't want to see someone trying to deal with me. , taking an innocent little life as a sacrifice."
No matter how hard-spoken he was, he still cared. For the first time in history, Emperor Tian Shu did not refute——yes, I am an old man.
Jiulang has such a kind heart that he doesn't want to see the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, pregnant and suffer.
The Emperor Tianshou was just happy these two days, now that Jiulang calmed down, he also thought of this question, and couldn't help asking: "What should I do?"
Mu Ci stared intently at the face of Emperor Tianshou, and after a while, said coolly: "You really have the guts to ask, what should you do if your woman, your child, can't protect herself and come to ask me?"
This is another sentence that hurts the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, but if Jiulang said it, the Emperor Tianshou felt as if he was shooting a dragon P. He said that he felt comfortable all over his body, and his image instantly became taller... Yes, myself Women and children, you have to protect yourself.
The big man of Tianshou Emperor was full of self-esteem, and he mobilized both Wei Zhong and Yue Xuan: "Quick! Send Concubine Wen to the palace, walk slowly on the road, be careful."
This time the efficiency was extremely high, Wen Concubine had originally brought her from the palace, and it was nothing to go back, she got him into a comfortable carriage in two or three strokes, and escorted him back to the palace in a mighty manner.
Concubine Wen is the only concubine there, so there will be no problem.
Emperor Tianshou felt that he had made a good arrangement, so he couldn't bear to die (looking for abuse), and then grabbed Jiulang's little hand: "Father will also protect you well, and will never let anyone hurt you."
Mu Ci stared blankly at Emperor Tianshou for a while, her black and white beautiful phoenix eyes showed no joy or anger, and she couldn't see any movement of light and shadow.
Mu Ci slowly...but firmly...withdrew her hand.
"Jiulang?" Emperor Tianshou was a little anxious, why... how could he not impress Mu Ci?He has always been too calm, too rational, too calm, as if he was a dummy made of steel jade that couldn't shake a single bit.
Mu Ci withdrew her eyes indifferently, stared at an unknown point in front of her, and fell into a long...silence, her eyes were gloomy black, without light, her face was still cold and holy.
I didn't have any expectations for him as a father!
"Jiulang!" Emperor Tianshou suddenly panicked. He was afraid that he would lose this child... No, maybe he never got it, so he couldn't help reaching out to grab his shoulder.
"Let go!" The voice was calm, still uncompromising resistance...
Emperor Tianshou was a little afraid of him, so he let go of him quickly, and said in a hurry: "Father is wrong, I won't neglect you in the future, Jiulang... Really, after Father..." Emperor Tianshou wanted to explain something, to win back the child's heart.
"It's not necessary!" Mu Ci said indifferently, "I never take it seriously when it sounds good. I won't be sad either. Because I have never had expectations for your feelings, and I will never taste disappointment."
"I...I..." Emperor Tianshou felt pain in his heart, but he had no choice but to stretch out his hand tentatively, trying to put Mu Ci's shoulder on it.
Mu Ci stepped aside, showing his attitude with actions, but he didn't have anything to say.
Say what?
Say I can't believe your feelings!
Still say: Don't promise what you may not be able to do, the words of promise are always so pale.
Why bother?Too lazy to quarrel, too much guilt will make you numb.
Mu Ci had been sitting for a long time, and the circulation of Qi and blood in her legs became poor, so she stood up slowly while supporting the dragon case, and walked out of the study slowly...
slowly...
Walking out of the Hall of Harmony...
Looking at the thin but proud little figure, the Emperor Tianshou disappeared at the door of the Hehuan Hall with a yellow dusty sloppiness... He unconsciously clenched his empty hand, but he couldn't grasp the rest of the palm. A cold, empty touch.
Protect you and never let anyone hurt you.
I didn't do it.
Do you hate your father, say this... 16 years late?Hate your father and now ignore your safety for the sake of others?
……
Mu Ci didn't hate her, she just found it boring, her legs were numb and she needed to move around, that's all.
His mind was extremely peaceful.No one paid attention to him, and no matter who was following him, he walked slowly on the bluestone path, all the way to the small woods on the north side, and then stopped when his strength was exhausted, and found the back of a tree. Sit down slowly.
Mu Ci didn't lose control of his emotions, he seldom has mood swings, but now he has nothing to rely on. To provide nutrients, I often feel exhausted physically and mentally. I need to combine work and rest, let go of my mind and take a good rest.
……
Mu Ruosong stood in the distance, staring blankly at the person who was sitting under the big tree and calmly separated himself from the whole world.
My heart hurts...
This young man is so pale and thin, he doesn't even have a healthy body, and he has to rely on others for everything... It's like being abandoned on the vast sea without even giving him a small sampan.Storms, cold, hunger, not knowing which direction to go.
Enemies are everywhere and danger is always there.
He must have been very tired and hard, right? ?
……
After many days passed, Mu Ci once asked him: "Zi Ren, you know it's no good to stay, why do you still stay?"
Mu Ruosong said forcefully, "Because if you leave like this, you will lose face."
But in my heart I thought:
For the loneliness and desolation in your eyes...too thick to be melted away.
……
However, this is just a beautiful misunderstanding.
Mu Cizhen didn't have many negative emotions, she just emptied her mind and seemed isolated from the world.But right now Mu Ci didn't pay attention to Mu Ruosong, otherwise he would have told this hot-blooded young man who loves to make up his brains, that I don't feel tired or hard work, but I just need to rest more.
Yes, Mu Ci is in a dangerous situation in the palace and has no one to rely on, but he is not afraid of the pressure that makes ordinary people anxious and suffocated. Even if he encounters some small storms, he is still able to handle them with ease.
This is the advantage of having a smart brain, which can analyze the pros and cons, cause and effect from the collected data, and calculate people's hearts clearly; with sufficient data, most accidents can be predicted in advance, without making a fuss Control the development of the situation.
Moreover, Mu Ci never thinks too well about all the results, and will prepare for the worst.
Mu Ci could not afford the worst outcome, so she was fearless.
Mu Ci, who is one step ahead in the history of human evolution as a dual practitioner of both physical and spiritual arts, has long since jumped out of the confines of his vision, and his thinking height is close to the perspective of God. He can speculate from clues that others can't think of. undefeated.
The biggest problem is not how to get out of the deep palace...he will definitely get out.
Nor is it emotionally distressing.
Mu Ci seldom moves emotions, her state of mind is not easy to be affected, her brain is too clever to calculate everything too clearly, she thinks long-term, and will not be troubled by temporary gains and losses.But this also has after-effects-no surprise when it is good, no surprise when it is bad, no laughter when you win, no anger when you lose, and no hatred when you are hurt.Like a bystander, directing a body to play a game, even including himself without hesitation.
Calm down to... cold-blooded.
The biggest problem now is still the most fundamental - his body is too poor to provide enough nutrients for his brain to function, and he needs to rest from time to time, which affects his efficiency too much.
Mu Ci let go of her thoughts, but she still had a thread of thinking—how to improve the quality of this scum with a negative combat power value?You can already do the full version of fitness exercises, do you want to increase the amount of training?But the nutrition absorbed by the weak spleen and stomach can't keep up with the consumption, and there is no fat layer on the body, so there is no energy for him to consume, and he easily faints.
If the physical fitness cannot be improved, it is useless to improve the spiritual skills quickly, and even the body will be worn down due to the increased consumption of the brain.It seems that spiritual practice can't be too fast.
I have to figure it out slowly...
Well, as Mu Ruosong, a mere mortal can't understand the troubles of the "spirit of wisdom", so... a person whose mind is full of reason and sensibility has the upper hand, naturally misses the brain wave.
Mu Ruosong regards Mu Ci's state of rest when he empties his thoughts as "a loneliness and desolation that is so thick that it cannot be resolved", and because Mu Ci's appearance is so good... even the killing god is soft-hearted.Therefore, Mu Ruosong stepped into a pit called "Mu Ci" and never climbed up in his life.
This saved Mu Ci's trouble, and he also understood why Mou Yu showed the expression of "you're going to be in trouble", worried that he would lose his composure again.
Because in the eyes of others, it is indeed a trouble.
Concubine Wen is said to be very similar to Concubine Xie Chen, she is super beautiful, but has a good temper. In the past two years, she has been favored by the Emperor, and now she has a younger child.Parents love the youngest son, so how much guilt will be left in the Emperor's heart for his love for Concubine Xie Chen?How much love for Mu Ci will be transferred to younger children?
After all, even Mu Ci himself knew that the only person he could rely on was the Heaven-sent Emperor.
Mu Ci also thinks this trick is pretty good, if he is a little weak chicken, crying and complaining all day long, purely relying on the emperor's limited guilt and favor to live, maybe this move can really cause him some trouble.
But it is a pity that the connection between him and Emperor Tianshou has never been about feelings, but about his value, which is the common interest of both parties.As long as Emperor Tianshou feels that he is worth more than anyone else, Emperor Tianshou will remove all obstacles.Because he is a qualified emperor first, and then his father, he is a sufficiently cold-blooded existence.
But even Mou Yu didn't understand, and began to worry, and needed Mu Ci to wake him up.Most of them can't see the essence from the appearance of "the emperor loves the king of Changle".
……
Therefore, Mu Yi, the fifth prince who went to visit Concubine Xie, felt that his mother and concubine played well.Although he suffered a small loss, he made King Changle offend King Shou and diverted his father's attention.
Waiting for the emperor's interest in that little bastard to fade away... Humph!
Concubine Xie is suffering...Son, although I am very happy that King Changle is unlucky this time, it is really not me.No matter how stupid I am, I won't do it so blatantly, okay?I have been enduring it for almost 30 years, and I have been enduring it. There is no reason why I can't bear it for so many days.
But who would believe that, Baiji is a confidant who has served Concubine Xie for eight years.
For the sake of the third prince and Princess Yongjia, you also have motives, imperial concubine.
Even his own son didn't believe it, so he said with a smile: "I know that the mother and concubine are wronged, and the father will figure it out in a while." But that expression was completely different, and then he left.
Mu Yi went to the Palace of Renming, which was heavily guarded, but the queen kept saying she was sick and didn't see her.Mu Yi and the prince chatted a few gossips at the window and left without involving anything in the palace.
The relationship between Mu Yi and the prince is very close, and her mother's brother Mu Nian has to step aside.He is the only one who will visit the prince on the cusp of this storm.When the prince sees him, he will be more or less normal and say something.
Ye Xingwei, who was monitoring in the dark, did not collect any effective information, so he reported to Emperor Tianshou and it was over.
……
Emperor Tianshou didn't go to Hehuan Hall in the afternoon, as if he really left his beloved Jiulang aside.Mu Ci didn't show any dissatisfaction, and she didn't seem to be waiting for anyone. Even An Qing couldn't help but look at the door a few times, but Mu Ci remained calm as usual, doing what she had to do.
He took a nap, exercised for a while, and kept reading the residence newspapers and some idle books over the years.
Mu Ruosong had already heard about the happy event in the palace, and he marveled at how strong the Tianshou Emperor was, so he didn't think much about it.He found that Mu Ci's reading speed of mansion newspapers was sometimes very fast, and he put them down after passing by, while the speed of some mansion newspapers was...relatively speaking, a bit slow.
Like... don't understand?
Considering that he was born in the cold palace and had no formal education, it is not surprising.
Mu Ruosong asked sincerely, "Do you need help?"
Mu Ci just waved his hand, and didn't respond any more.
Mu Guangti is more active, busy all the time, busy with taking clothes, packing books and other things, he doesn't talk much, but he likes to use this sentence pattern: "Ah Ci, you can't loose your hair, you should tie it up, pay attention deportment."
"Ah Ci, you can't throw away the medicine, you should drink it."
"Ah Ci, you can't... you should..."
Mu Ci put down the mansion newspaper, glanced at him casually, and asked, "Who asked you to dictate how I should behave? The emperor?"
Mu Guangti closed his mouth, a little embarrassed.
In fact, Wei Zhong reminded him not to interfere with Mu Ci too much, but something like a turtle-haired personality cannot be borne if he wants to.And... He didn't want to stay, it was a bit deliberate.
Although Mu Ci is very indifferent, he is not as scary as the outside world says, he is quite polite and kind-hearted, but...his grandfather King Qi did not ask him to leave the palace, but he himself feels that there is no future with Mu Ci. If you die early, everything depends on yourself, there is no need to bet your future on a little prince in the cold palace.
Mu Ci gave another meaningful look: "We haven't gotten to know each other well enough to be called by name. As an examiner, you must be clear about your identity. You are only here to assist me. Be an arm instead of a brain. Remember not to deviate. If If you don't like my behavior and attitude, you can leave."
Mu Guangti's face turned red when he was told, but he had no words to refute, let alone turn his face.
"I don't need to serve as an official. I'm sorry, but I'm actually the one who caused you trouble." Mu Ci was not unreasonable, he said sincerely, "I will explain to the emperor that you can leave with peace of mind."
Mu Guangti thought for a while, and seized the opportunity to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Mu Ruosong, who was the only one left, his eyes flickered, and the meaning was unclear.
Mu Ruosong shook his head at him.
Neither he nor Mu Guangti has a father, because they have a good relationship with each other, needless to say, he understands everything.
Mu Guangti sighed, and finally went out without saying anything.
Mu Ci sketched something on the paper with a wooden pen, without raising his head, he said to Mu Ruosong, "I know you are Chaoyang's eldest nephew..."
"I want to stay!"
Mu Ci was not surprised, looked at Mu Ruosong's hair crown, and asked, "Is this the crown ceremony for you?"
"Yes!"
"When?"
"Yesterday."
"Prince Ding feels sorry for you...what word did you choose?"
"Zi Ren."
"Ren? Good word! Mu Ziren, did you voluntarily enter the palace?" Although it was a question, there was a three-point certainty.
"Yes!"
"You have done a good job and are a good boy, so I can't keep you. The palace is not a good place. I will explain clearly to the emperor that you will not leave hidden dangers to your family if you leave." Mu Compassion is always transparent.
But Mu Ruosong shook his head, and said solemnly: "Uncle Wang, I won't leave. Although I have never been a court attendant before, I will learn how to assist you."
Mu Ci stared at him for a while, but asked, "What did you call me just now?"
"...Uncle Wang?"
Mu Ci waved his hands indifferently: "Let's go, you are too simple."
Mu Ruosong didn't know where he offended this person. According to his seniority, he was called Uncle Wang.Ah... Could it be that Uncle Wang called him old?The Mu family really doesn't like being called old, and this boy is half a year younger than himself, so...the name is wrong.
But Mu Ci hadn't chosen the word yet, and she wasn't familiar enough to call her by name, so she had no choice but to...
"I stayed here voluntarily, Your Highness!" This address was extremely serious and respectful.
Mu Ruosong didn't think it hurt his self-esteem.
Although they are all surnamed Mu and belong to the royal family, there is still a big difference - the prince will be a prince in the future, and at worst he will be an heir, but he is a few generations away from the current emperor, and he will soon be out of five clothes.If Prince Ding didn't have the merits of being a dragon, how could he be a prince?
It is still unknown how the future new emperor will treat Dingwangfu.
He is just a little eldest grandson, and he doesn't inherit the title. If he doesn't have great meritorious service, he is a great duke who can scare the common people, but he is not very noble in front of the real son and grandson of the dragon.Therefore, there is a gap between him and the King of Changle, and it is not an exaggeration to call "Your Highness".
Mu Ci raised her head, and said calmly: "You can't get anything from me, and you may encounter unfair treatment, or even danger."
"I don't want to gain anything, and I'm not afraid of danger." Mu Ruosong replied.
Mu Ci felt familiar, and he often told Chaoyang and Mou Yu this kind of nonsensical answer.When I said it, I didn't think it was a bit of a slap in the face to be greeted inadvertently.
Mu Ruosong stood there with rooted feet, making up his mind not to leave.
"It's up to you. You can leave whenever you want. I don't force others. The emperor has me to say, and I won't make it difficult for you." After Mu Ci finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to draw.
……
No one expected that in the end only Mu Ruosong would stay, and the Emperor Tianshou thought he would be the first to "annoy" Xiao Jiulang to be invited away.
Parents are ignorant, and children are sensible, which is also very good, and must be rewarded.The other children and parents are too ignorant, dare to play tricks in front of him?
Although he, Xiao Jiulang, was generous and said he didn't care about it, but he still had to hit it!
The Emperor Tianshou beat the three families, downgraded the food and city standards of each prefecture, and other small punishments. In short, the three families, especially the king of Shou, were frightened.The Emperor Tianshou gave many rewards to the Ding Palace with great fanfare. He appointed Mu Ruosong as the attendant of the King of Changle, appointed him as the regular attendant of You Sanqi, and granted him the title of Zhongfeng Doctor. The official title is more honorable than ordinary county princes, and adds [-]% to the salary of the city, and is authorized to wear goldfish bags.
Ding Wang thought: "Is it possible to buy my eldest grandson with such a small favor?"Your youngest son's temper, my A Song can't bear it for a few days.King Ding is ready, even if he is jealous of the emperor, he will take his eldest grandson out of the palace... Anyway, it's not his family who did it, so why should he lose some food and rewards? My family wants to lose my eldest son's only seedling, Want to bring the whole family?
Anyway, the marriage with Xie's family was put on hold, or he also sent Ah Song away, um, to the northwest.
Emperor Tianshou is currently planning to abolish the crown prince, so he has to seek stability and dare not force him too far.
He only waited for his eldest grandson to be wronged in the palace, and then he took him out.
……
The Emperor Tianshou didn't come to Hehuan Hall to play with Xiao Jiulang until the next day when he went to court.He found a reason to send Mu Ruosong out of the Hall of Hehuan, but still brought over the playbook, even yesterday's one, and let Xiao Jiulang "look at it".
Mu Ci looked calm, reading the playbook.
Emperor Tianshou's whole face was radiant, his creases were stretched quite a bit, he smiled smirkly from time to time, looked at Mu Ci and said, "Yesterday, Emperor Father had some happy events, so he didn't come over."
"Ah."
"Don't you ask me what kind of happy event it is?" I was so happy that Emperor Tianshou urgently wanted to share it with others.
"Congratulations!" Indifferently, not much joy, of course, no complaints.
"Hey, you know?" Emperor Tianshou smirked, and couldn't help poking Jiulang's arm with his finger, "You're going to be an older brother."
Mu Ci didn't speak.
Emperor Tianshou poked him again: "Jiulang, don't worry, Father will treat you well."
Mu Ci glanced at the emperor lightly: "Can you be quiet?"
Emperor Tianshou felt that his son must be jealous because of his indifference, so he couldn't help showing a smirk.I imagined that Xiao Jiulang was holding Zhengtai's fleshy meat, and taught him to write...but suddenly thought that I might not wait until then.However, to be able to have a child, my health should not be too bad, maybe I can live a few more years, and live past sixty...seventy...
At that time, Jiulang will soften... The Emperor Tianshou laughed again.
After reading the memorial, Mu Ci was hesitant to speak when Emperor Tianshu sent someone to clean it up...Seeing that Mu Ci didn't pay him any attention and didn't hand him the ladder, he could only speak bluntly: "Concubine Wen... is a bit harsh, Said that the meal is tasteless, I want to eat..."
Just as Mu Ci picked up the wooden pen and was about to write something, he didn't lift his head when he heard the words: "Qin Shan doesn't lend it out!"
Emperor Tianshou was stupefied, touched his nose, and said in a good-tempered manner: "She is weak, and she vomits whatever she eats, father... a child of this age, the imperial doctor said it would be somewhat unstable."
"I don't like to say one thing twice." Mu Ci said.
Emperor Tianshou was flatly rejected, his brows were slightly frowned, he felt a little unhappy, and said: "Just let Qin Shan go to serve for a few days...he is the imperial cook in the palace."
"Yes, so if you insist on taking Qin Shan away, I can't help it, but...you will regret it!"
Emperor Tianshou was even more unhappy. He was very happy at first, as if pouring cold water into his head, he frowned and said loudly: "Jiulang, that's a bigger child, and it won't shake you under the father..."
"Really?" Mu Ci interrupted him lightly, "Then what do you mean by losing your temper at me?"
"I..." Emperor Tianshou was so blocked that his heart ached, it really hurt.
"It's still the same sentence, Qin Shan doesn't borrow it. If you don't want me to bury your unborn baby with you, don't take Qin Shan or any royal chef who has a relationship with Qin Shan, and don't let me have anything to do with that child. "
The Emperor Tianshou narrowed his eyes slightly...
"I advise you, it's best to find out who asked you, or the pregnant concubine, to ask Qin Shan to go there." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he waved to Emperor Tianshou, "Also, don't blindly hope Things will go for the best, so prepare for the worst."
The last sentence is a pun, and the Emperor Tianshou was said... a heart was thrown into the ice cellar.
The Emperor Tianshou couldn't help but get angry... It doesn't feel good for anyone who just flies to the sky with high ambitions and faces the possibility of being knocked down to the ground.He grabbed Mu Ci's wrist, and Long Wei released...
"What do you know, speak clearly!"
"Let go!" Mu Ci tried to free his wrist.
"Speak clearly!" Clamping harder.
"You know your age, your body..."
"You said that child is not..."
"No!" Mu Ci ignored the pain that almost broke the bones of his hand, and calmly interrupted the emperor, "The concubine stays in the palace every day, and you don't have any evidence, so don't doubt your child's lineage casually."
Emperor Tianshou: "..." These words hit his weakness. He observed carefully, but he still didn't see any resentment in Mu Ci's eyes.He lacked confidence and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You can figure out what I mean after two days of calm down, but I don't know if you have two more days... let go!"
Even though the two were quarreling, Mu Ci Qingrun's voice was still steady and calm, without a trace of excitement, which made Tianshoudi feel from Xiao Jiulang a kind of clear and clear mirror that still didn't move a piece of clothing in the stormy waves. The ups and downs of the mood also calmed down.
Emperor Tianshou let go of his hand, and seeing that Jiulang's thin wrist was already red, he couldn't help but grab it again, rubbed it lightly twice, and said distressedly: "Why don't you say it hurts? You...you are always so stubborn."
Mu Ci indifferently withdrew her hand.
Emperor Tianshou couldn't help sighing, and warned himself not to get angry with Jiulang again, it was completely to make himself unhappy, and asked softly: "Father, what have you been doing these two days... What do you think of, tell Father."
"You know what your harem is like and what the situation is now. It's a certainty that this kind of thing will be used by others. You are so happy now..." Mu Ci raised her hand to stop the Tianshoudi who was about to speak, " It's not a question, no answer is needed."
Emperor Tianshou: "..." He closed his mouth.
"The happier you are, the sadder you will be when an accident happens. Such a big emotional gap can easily destroy a person's will." When Mu Ci said this, she still had an unshakable calm voice.
"It's inevitable to frame me by the way. Everyone will say that I'm jealous of that child who stole your favor, and I can't argue with it." Mu Ci calmly looked at Emperor Tianshou, and said lightly: "I lost two at once...Your age Not too young, and my health has not been good for the past two years, so I can't bear the stimulation of such great sorrow and joy."
After thinking about it, Emperor Tianshou could understand that normal people couldn't bear the ups and downs, not to mention his poor health.Then he couldn't help laughing... Does Jiulang know that his father values you?Is this caring about the father?
"There's no need to laugh. I'm not talking about personal relationships with you. It's just that even as a stranger, I have humanity and a basic conscience. I don't want to see an old man suffer this crime at such an old age. I don't want to see someone trying to deal with me. , taking an innocent little life as a sacrifice."
No matter how hard-spoken he was, he still cared. For the first time in history, Emperor Tian Shu did not refute——yes, I am an old man.
Jiulang has such a kind heart that he doesn't want to see the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, pregnant and suffer.
The Emperor Tianshou was just happy these two days, now that Jiulang calmed down, he also thought of this question, and couldn't help asking: "What should I do?"
Mu Ci stared intently at the face of Emperor Tianshou, and after a while, said coolly: "You really have the guts to ask, what should you do if your woman, your child, can't protect herself and come to ask me?"
This is another sentence that hurts the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, but if Jiulang said it, the Emperor Tianshou felt as if he was shooting a dragon P. He said that he felt comfortable all over his body, and his image instantly became taller... Yes, myself Women and children, you have to protect yourself.
The big man of Tianshou Emperor was full of self-esteem, and he mobilized both Wei Zhong and Yue Xuan: "Quick! Send Concubine Wen to the palace, walk slowly on the road, be careful."
This time the efficiency was extremely high, Wen Concubine had originally brought her from the palace, and it was nothing to go back, she got him into a comfortable carriage in two or three strokes, and escorted him back to the palace in a mighty manner.
Concubine Wen is the only concubine there, so there will be no problem.
Emperor Tianshou felt that he had made a good arrangement, so he couldn't bear to die (looking for abuse), and then grabbed Jiulang's little hand: "Father will also protect you well, and will never let anyone hurt you."
Mu Ci stared blankly at Emperor Tianshou for a while, her black and white beautiful phoenix eyes showed no joy or anger, and she couldn't see any movement of light and shadow.
Mu Ci slowly...but firmly...withdrew her hand.
"Jiulang?" Emperor Tianshou was a little anxious, why... how could he not impress Mu Ci?He has always been too calm, too rational, too calm, as if he was a dummy made of steel jade that couldn't shake a single bit.
Mu Ci withdrew her eyes indifferently, stared at an unknown point in front of her, and fell into a long...silence, her eyes were gloomy black, without light, her face was still cold and holy.
I didn't have any expectations for him as a father!
"Jiulang!" Emperor Tianshou suddenly panicked. He was afraid that he would lose this child... No, maybe he never got it, so he couldn't help reaching out to grab his shoulder.
"Let go!" The voice was calm, still uncompromising resistance...
Emperor Tianshou was a little afraid of him, so he let go of him quickly, and said in a hurry: "Father is wrong, I won't neglect you in the future, Jiulang... Really, after Father..." Emperor Tianshou wanted to explain something, to win back the child's heart.
"It's not necessary!" Mu Ci said indifferently, "I never take it seriously when it sounds good. I won't be sad either. Because I have never had expectations for your feelings, and I will never taste disappointment."
"I...I..." Emperor Tianshou felt pain in his heart, but he had no choice but to stretch out his hand tentatively, trying to put Mu Ci's shoulder on it.
Mu Ci stepped aside, showing his attitude with actions, but he didn't have anything to say.
Say what?
Say I can't believe your feelings!
Still say: Don't promise what you may not be able to do, the words of promise are always so pale.
Why bother?Too lazy to quarrel, too much guilt will make you numb.
Mu Ci had been sitting for a long time, and the circulation of Qi and blood in her legs became poor, so she stood up slowly while supporting the dragon case, and walked out of the study slowly...
slowly...
Walking out of the Hall of Harmony...
Looking at the thin but proud little figure, the Emperor Tianshou disappeared at the door of the Hehuan Hall with a yellow dusty sloppiness... He unconsciously clenched his empty hand, but he couldn't grasp the rest of the palm. A cold, empty touch.
Protect you and never let anyone hurt you.
I didn't do it.
Do you hate your father, say this... 16 years late?Hate your father and now ignore your safety for the sake of others?
……
Mu Ci didn't hate her, she just found it boring, her legs were numb and she needed to move around, that's all.
His mind was extremely peaceful.No one paid attention to him, and no matter who was following him, he walked slowly on the bluestone path, all the way to the small woods on the north side, and then stopped when his strength was exhausted, and found the back of a tree. Sit down slowly.
Mu Ci didn't lose control of his emotions, he seldom has mood swings, but now he has nothing to rely on. To provide nutrients, I often feel exhausted physically and mentally. I need to combine work and rest, let go of my mind and take a good rest.
……
Mu Ruosong stood in the distance, staring blankly at the person who was sitting under the big tree and calmly separated himself from the whole world.
My heart hurts...
This young man is so pale and thin, he doesn't even have a healthy body, and he has to rely on others for everything... It's like being abandoned on the vast sea without even giving him a small sampan.Storms, cold, hunger, not knowing which direction to go.
Enemies are everywhere and danger is always there.
He must have been very tired and hard, right? ?
……
After many days passed, Mu Ci once asked him: "Zi Ren, you know it's no good to stay, why do you still stay?"
Mu Ruosong said forcefully, "Because if you leave like this, you will lose face."
But in my heart I thought:
For the loneliness and desolation in your eyes...too thick to be melted away.
……
However, this is just a beautiful misunderstanding.
Mu Cizhen didn't have many negative emotions, she just emptied her mind and seemed isolated from the world.But right now Mu Ci didn't pay attention to Mu Ruosong, otherwise he would have told this hot-blooded young man who loves to make up his brains, that I don't feel tired or hard work, but I just need to rest more.
Yes, Mu Ci is in a dangerous situation in the palace and has no one to rely on, but he is not afraid of the pressure that makes ordinary people anxious and suffocated. Even if he encounters some small storms, he is still able to handle them with ease.
This is the advantage of having a smart brain, which can analyze the pros and cons, cause and effect from the collected data, and calculate people's hearts clearly; with sufficient data, most accidents can be predicted in advance, without making a fuss Control the development of the situation.
Moreover, Mu Ci never thinks too well about all the results, and will prepare for the worst.
Mu Ci could not afford the worst outcome, so she was fearless.
Mu Ci, who is one step ahead in the history of human evolution as a dual practitioner of both physical and spiritual arts, has long since jumped out of the confines of his vision, and his thinking height is close to the perspective of God. He can speculate from clues that others can't think of. undefeated.
The biggest problem is not how to get out of the deep palace...he will definitely get out.
Nor is it emotionally distressing.
Mu Ci seldom moves emotions, her state of mind is not easy to be affected, her brain is too clever to calculate everything too clearly, she thinks long-term, and will not be troubled by temporary gains and losses.But this also has after-effects-no surprise when it is good, no surprise when it is bad, no laughter when you win, no anger when you lose, and no hatred when you are hurt.Like a bystander, directing a body to play a game, even including himself without hesitation.
Calm down to... cold-blooded.
The biggest problem now is still the most fundamental - his body is too poor to provide enough nutrients for his brain to function, and he needs to rest from time to time, which affects his efficiency too much.
Mu Ci let go of her thoughts, but she still had a thread of thinking—how to improve the quality of this scum with a negative combat power value?You can already do the full version of fitness exercises, do you want to increase the amount of training?But the nutrition absorbed by the weak spleen and stomach can't keep up with the consumption, and there is no fat layer on the body, so there is no energy for him to consume, and he easily faints.
If the physical fitness cannot be improved, it is useless to improve the spiritual skills quickly, and even the body will be worn down due to the increased consumption of the brain.It seems that spiritual practice can't be too fast.
I have to figure it out slowly...
Well, as Mu Ruosong, a mere mortal can't understand the troubles of the "spirit of wisdom", so... a person whose mind is full of reason and sensibility has the upper hand, naturally misses the brain wave.
Mu Ruosong regards Mu Ci's state of rest when he empties his thoughts as "a loneliness and desolation that is so thick that it cannot be resolved", and because Mu Ci's appearance is so good... even the killing god is soft-hearted.Therefore, Mu Ruosong stepped into a pit called "Mu Ci" and never climbed up in his life.
