Princess of the Past and Present

Chapter 36 Malice·Grievance

Yuan Yuzhi looked at Mu Jin, then looked at Mo Shuang beside him, and said to herself: "That girl Dong Ling did something wrong, I just punished her to face the wall, there is no malice, brother Yin will not blame me .”

Mu Jin raised his voice, "I want you to open the door!"

Yuan Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she said to the maid behind her, "Bring me the key."

The maid brought the key and opened the lock. Mo Shuang was the first to push the door open and went in. After sweeping around the room full of firewood, she saw Dong Ling sitting in a corner with her eyes closed and her body covered with hay, pale. .

Mo Shuang went over, and the short man patted her, "Dongling?"

Dong Ling slightly opened his eyes, and when his nose became sore, tears flowed down his face, his voice was weak, "Master..."

Mo Shuang touched her forehead with the back of her hand, it was very hot, she had a fever.

Mu Jin turned around and stared at Yuan Yuzhi, gritted his teeth and said, "You're crazy, aren't you!"

Yuan Yuzhi still didn't take it seriously, and said arrogantly: "She is just a maid, and I, as the master, shouldn't it be okay to punish the maid for doing something wrong?"

"You'd better make it clear to Ben Gong that she is not your maid, and you are not her master either!"

Mo Shuang picked up Dong Ling and left the firewood room. Mu Jin turned around and followed Mo Shuang's footsteps, and told the servant girl, "Go ask the doctor."

Mo Shuang put Dong Ling on the couch, and pulled the quilt over it.The maid brought hot water, and Mo Shuang twisted the handkerchief to wipe her face.

Standing aside, Mu Jin watched Mo Shuang wipe her face and hands without saying a word, feeling a little sour in her heart, but then thought that when Mo Shuang first married into the Prince's Mansion, this maid was probably the only one who treated him well, so That's why there is such a deep love between master and servant.

Mu Jin called out a maid, and asked with a straight face, "Tell me what's going on."

The servant girl lowered her head and said truthfully, "After Yuan Liangdi returned to Shangshu Mansion to live for two days, she kept ordering Dong Ling to do heavy work and kept her from resting all day long, but Dong Ling refused to listen, so she beat her up. Then she was locked in the firewood room. These days, it was Uncle Chen who secretly gave her some food and drink."

Mu Jin took a deep breath, at first he only wanted to take Mo Shuang away so that Yuan Yuzhi would not make things difficult for him, but unexpectedly he forgot to take Dong Ling away as well.

The doctor came over and took Dong Ling's pulse, and left a prescription.Mu Jin asked his servants to stew some nourishing medicinal soup and bring it over. Dong Ling woke up at night, his face still pale.

The tip of Dong Ling's nose was sour, and tears filled his eyes, "My lord, it's really great for you to come back."

Mo Shuang said warmly, "Come on, drink the medicine."

"Yes."

Mo Shuang personally fed her a bowl of medicine, and then tucked her quilt.

Dong Ling looked at Mu Jin who had been standing behind, and then at Mo Shuang, "Master, you just came back, go and rest, I'm fine."

Mo Shuang responded.Mu Jin ordered the servant girl to take care of Dong Ling, and went out with Mo Shuang.

It happened just now, and the two of them haven't eaten yet.

After dinner, Mu Jin returned to the room, and said apologetically, "I know that you have been offended by her a lot, and it's also my fault. I owe you a debt."

Mo Shuang looked at Mu Jin seriously, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Mu Jin was at a loss for words, and then said, "I can't tell. I probably made too many mistakes. I don't know where to start."

"I think that His Highness is worrying too much."

Mu Jin looked at him without saying a word.

Mo Shuang turned around and walked to the back room, "It's getting late, I'm going to warm your Highness's bed first."

Hearing the word warming the bed, Mu Jin chuckled, followed behind him, took the robe he had untied, and put it on the hanger, Mo Shuang got on the couch first, followed by Mu Jin.

Lifting the quilt up, he took Mo Shuang into his arms, and said softly: "The quilt that Aifei has warmed is really warm."

Mo Shuang: "..."

The next day, Mu Jin took out the official documents and memorials from the study, and put them in three stacks on the desk, half a person's height.Taking out the letter, he and Mo Shuang began to read the official document and compare the handwriting.

After searching through the pile of official documents for half an hour, Mu Jin found a memorial, "Look, does this handwriting look like it?"

Mo Shuang took it and looked at it, then compared the handwriting on the letter, and said: "Although they look similar, the strength of the pen is somewhat different."

Mu Jin took a closer look and found that there was indeed a difference, "Why don't you put it aside and we'll look for it later."

"Ah."

At noon, Uncle Chen came to urge us to eat twice, but the two of them were indifferent, and buried their heads in flipping through the official documents to check the handwriting.

It wasn't until Shenshi that the two men checked all the handwriting of the official documents and found six with similar handwriting, namely, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Sheren of Zhongshu, Zhongcheng of Yuli, Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, Sizhi of Dali, and Doctor Jianyi.

Putting the handwriting of the six people together with the letter, Mu Jin pointed to the official document of Yang Zhong, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, "Among the six people, Yang Zhong's handwriting should be closer." Looking up at Mo Shuang, "You said Woolen cloth?"

Mo Shuang looked at Yang Zhong's handwriting and said, "I also think this person's handwriting is the closest."

Mu Jindao: "If it was him, it would make sense. At the beginning of the year, the father entrusted him with the construction of the palace, and he also arranged the site selection funds by himself. When the official bank was transferred from Beijing, it must go through It's easy for him to check it out."

"It's just that I'm afraid it won't be convincing to convict him based on this letter with similar handwriting."

There are tens of thousands of similar handwriting in the world, and there are six of them among the court officials. It is really not convincing to convict people only by handwriting.Mu Jin sighed softly, "It's true."

"However, now that there are clues, there is at least a direction to follow."

Someone knocked on the door outside, and Mu Jin asked, "Who?"

"Your Highness, it's an old slave." It was Chen Bo's voice.

"Come in."

Uncle Chen gently pushed the door open and walked in, bowing his body and said: "Your Highness, this old servant has someone stew some soup. You and the Crown Princess have worked hard all day, so eat some first."

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang looked at each other, and then realized that they didn't even eat lunch.Chen Boding asked people to cook the soup because he was afraid that they would be hungry.

Mo Shuang said: "Let's put down the soup, I'm tired."

Uncle Chen turned around and asked the two servant girls to bring in two cups of soup, put them on the high table, and then retreated.

Mu Jin walked to the high table, picked up a pot of soup and lifted the lid to look at it. It was stewed with ginseng chicken soup.Open another cup, it is a three-vegetarian soup.Turning around, he said to Mo Shuang, who was still concentrating on checking the handwriting: "I haven't eaten since I was busy early in the morning. Come here and drink this soup first."

Mo Shuang raised her head, put down the official document in her hand, and walked over.

Mu Jin moved two chairs, two people sat around the high table, each with a cup of soup.

Mu Jin drank two spoonfuls of ginseng chicken soup, and extended the spoon to Moshuang's porcelain cup. Moshuang said nothing, let him take a spoonful, and then drank it as if nothing had happened.

Mu Jin pursed his lips and chuckled.Mo Shuang looked at him and asked, "What's your Highness laughing at?"

Mu Jin lowered his head and drank the soup, "It's nothing."

The next day at dawn, Mu Jin deliberately caught up with Yang Zhong, Minister of Industry, "Master Yang."

Yang Zhong turned his head and saw that it was Mu Jin. He was a little surprised, and quickly cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness."

Mu Jinxiu clasped his hands and said, "I happen to have something to ask Mr. Yang, how about doing it together?"

Yang Zhong paused slightly, and forced a smile on his face, "It's my great fortune to be able to walk on the same path with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Jin made a gesture of invitation, and the two walked side by side on the marble-paved avenue of the palace.Yang Zhong lowered his head slightly with a guilty conscience, and Mu Jin squinted his eyes to see his every move.

Mu Jin spoke first, "I want to ask Mr. Yang, how is the palace going?"

Yang Zhong sighed, "The official bank for the construction of the palace was robbed, resulting in a lack of funds, so we couldn't start the work, so we had to put it on hold." After a pause, he asked again: "I don't know, is there any progress in your Highness's pursuit of Liu Fushan?"

Mu Jin also sighed, "My palace has made all the officials in various states want him, and the imperial court has also sent the Criminal Department to investigate. It has been more than two months, but Liu Fushan's whereabouts have not yet been found."

"Your Highness has done his best for this matter. If you really can't arrest the corrupt officials, you can't blame Your Highness."

"The matter of tracking down Liu Fushan can be taken slowly, but how does Lord Yang plan to build the palace?"

"This..." Yang Zhong thought for a while, "It depends on what the emperor wants."

"Father is old, and has long planned to abdicate and go to Lingzhou to live for a year or so. If the palace has not been completed by then, if the blame comes down..." Mu Jin stopped talking halfway, squinting his eyes Looking at Yang Zhong beside him.

Yang Zhong looked at Mu Jin with a troubled face, "I, I also want to build it as soon as possible, but there is no funds, so I really can't start the work."

Mu Jin hooked the corners of his lips, "It depends on what Master Yang will do."

Yang Zhong was speechless, and then he laughed dryly, "I'm just a small official, how can I do it."

Mu Jindao: "If you get Long Yan Da Yue, you may be promoted overnight as a small official like Mr. Yang, and you may not be sure if you are an extremely talented minister."

Yang Zhong's expression turned ugly, "Your Highness is joking."

When they came outside the palace, Mu Jin's palanquin was waiting in front, and the coachman raised the curtain when he saw the prince coming.

Back at the mansion, Mu Jin asked Chen Bo directly where the concubine was. As soon as Chen Bo said about the study, Mu Jin had already taken a step towards Mo Shuang's study.

In the study, Mo Shuang was immersed in painting a landscape painting.

Mu Jin pushed the door and entered, Mo Shuang looked up at him, put down the pen in his hand, "Why did you come back so early?"

"I don't have any important matters to discuss recently, so I left court early." Mu Jin saw that there was no shadow of Dong Ling around Mo Shuang, so he asked casually, "Is that girl Dong Ling feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. When I went to see it this morning, it was already much better."

"Well, that's good." Afterwards, Mu Jin said inexplicably, "It can be seen that you treat her very well."

Mo Shuang said lightly: "I treat everyone the same."

Mu Jin's face darkened, and he almost blurted out asking him what he thought of him.But she was afraid that he would say an answer that she didn't want to hear, so she swallowed the words back.

The author has something to say: the third update (*^__^*)

Thank you for a mine in Lantian Rinuan Children's Shoes (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~

Let’s talk about Mu Jin’s changes to Mo Shuang in this article, roughly: hate → good impression → first love → love → love → infatuation.In other words, the degree will become deeper and deeper.In this article, maybe one day in the future, all v chapters will be free, so everyone can pay attention, and I will say it on Weibo at that time.

As for Mo Shuang, people like him basically don't say I love you, I like you, etc. If you want to understand his emotions, you need to read some small descriptions of him. (*^__^*) For example, on the day Mu Jin got married, there is a description: the tea he drank was cold, and so was his heart.This is, the understanding of this sentence can be various, just follow your own understanding, do you feel that you are doing very simple reading comprehension?

Thank you for your support, bow.
