As soon as Yue Gui's words came out, Wei Xian'er was the most surprised. She has been in the mansion for many years, but she has never heard such an order from Bo Yunxiu.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that her face turned blue, if Mo Yu hadn't rushed to comfort her, she would have been furious already.
"Doesn't matter if you kill her?" The queen mother pointed at Yue Gui angrily, "Let Bo Yunxiu come to see Ai's family, and Ai's family will ask, if Ai's family wants to kill her, will he also shoot and kill Ai's family?"
"Which bastard dares to make the empress dowager angry?" There was a loud shout from outside the door, accompanied by Bao Yunchong's figure wandering in.
But there was a gust of wind blowing past my ears, but it was Bo Yunxiu standing beside Shen Muxi with a solemn expression, and swept the surrounding guards coldly, "Get out!"
The moment the sound fell, the guards knelt down on the ground with a thump, bowed the ceremony of long live, and then the ceremony of thousand years, and hurriedly exited the Chunxi Palace, how dare they stay here.
"What do you mean by being lenient again and again?" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "Emperor, you don't even ignore the palace rules, do you? To smear the entire palace ban is to be punished! Just now, Shen Muxi dared to fight against Ai's family, why not kill such a wicked person?"
As soon as the word Nie Zhan came out, Shen Muxi suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and when he turned his head, he saw Bao Yunxiu's face was stern, and his five fingers in his sleeves were slightly curled up.
"Empress Dowager!" Guan Yuqing said, "I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with Dr. Shen. If..."
"Shut up for the Ai family!" The queen mother was really angry this time, and even Bo Yunchong couldn't hold it back, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Don't believe a word you say. That bitch Even if you are a watery person, you are not much better! The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, and you are a fool all the way!"
Guan Yuqing was extremely angry, "If the empress dowager punishes me, why do you have to mention the dead? My mother is dead. No matter what she did before she was alive, she has long been buried in the ground. Why doesn't the empress dowager let go of a dead person?" Pass?"
"Asshole!"
"It's a bastard!" Before the Queen Mother could punish him, Bo Yunchong took over the words, "It's really presumptuous. As a side concubine of Prince Li's mansion, you dare to talk back to the Queen Mother. Does this mean that you don't take His Royal Highness Li Wang seriously?"
Saying that, Bo Yunchong looked up at Bo Yunxiu, whose face was as black as ink, "You don't care about your side concubine? How decent is it to be so presumptuous!"
When Bo Yunxiu heard this, instead of looking at Guan Yuqing, he turned to look at Shen Muxi.
Shen Muxi frowned slightly, unable to predict whether he would give a helping hand, and felt very anxious.
Finally, Bo Yunxiu withdrew his gaze from Shen Muxi, sighed faintly, and said coldly, "It's really presumptuous!"
Shen Muxi, "..."
"You..." The queen mother was about to step forward, but Bo Yunchong quickly supported her.
Bo Yunchong hugged the queen mother with a playful smile on his face. The strength of men has always been stronger than that of women, so the queen mother was held in place by him and could not move forward.
"Concubine Guan, today is the Lotus Appreciation Conference and a palace banquet. Why do you keep saying that there are medicines in the tea? Also, if the news is true, the Empress Dowager is not an indiscriminate person, so she will definitely give you justice. If you talk nonsense, be careful to deal with His Royal Highness according to the rules of the palace!" Bo Yunchong flirted at Shen Muxi. Shen Muxi was taken aback, and Bo Yunxiu stepped forward with his long legs, blocking her in a very natural way, cutting off Bo Yunchong's gaze.
"I heard this matter with my own ears, and I heard it clearly. The two maidservants handed over and wanted to tamper with Dr. Shen's tea, and then sent him to Chengning Palace to humiliate Dr. Shen's innocence." Guan Yuqing looked coldly. Staring at Wei Xian'er.
Just imagine, when Shen Muxi first came to the Eastern Capital, he seldom entered or left the palace, and no one knew the concubine, so how could he attack her? If it is said that he has ulterior motives, the one with the most motivation is Wei Xian'er.
"Tea?" Bo Yunchong frowned, "Tsk tsk tsk, if I knew this was the case, I should have waited for Xiao Xixi in Chengning Palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Yunxiu stepped forward suddenly, and Bo Yunchong was so startled that he shouted loudly, "Go and call Concubine Liu here."
Only in this way did Bo Yunxiu stop in his tracks and hold his hands coldly.
In the entire palace, Concubine Liu is the best at mixing fragrances. The incense she made made even the perfumers in the palace feel inferior, so she must smell it wrong. There is this year's new tea in the cup, and there is nothing wrong with it, let alone anything emotional.
When Concubine Liu left, the Empress Dowager immediately glanced at everyone domineeringly, "Did you hear that?"
Bo Yunchong hurriedly said, "Queen mother, since there is nothing wrong, then this matter will end here, it's just an oolong! At the lotus appreciation meeting, just drink two more glasses of wine to suppress the shock!"
"Huh, it's better not to drink this wine!" The queen mother sneered twice, "There is nothing wrong now, should I count it as a crime of spreading rumors?"
Everything around is silent, and each knows it well.
Nian Qiu kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, the servant deserves to die. The servant took a nap and fell asleep and talked in sleep. The master believed the servant's words. Everything was caused by the servant. Please check it out! The master is innocent. , It’s slaves who deserve to die!”
"Nianqiu?" Guan Yuqing was reluctant.
Shen Muxi's heart is like a bright mirror, even if Nian Qiu has committed this crime, so what? The person the Empress Dowager wanted to kill was never Guan Yuqing's master and servant, and the misfortune was caused by her sinking wood.
"Empress Dowager!" Shen Muxi knelt down, "This matter..."
"Get up!" Before she finished speaking, she was pulled up by Bao Yunxiu, "Don't you have any bones? Stand up and talk!"
The queen mother was so angry that her eyes were fierce.
Shen Muxi broke away from his hand, this man is too strong, it hurts her every time, "The so-called spreading rumors to make troubles depends on who spread the rumors, since Concubine Guan is also hearsay, it is not allowed to spread rumors to make troubles. "
"That makes sense!" Bo Yunchong said hurriedly, but the Queen Mother gave her a sharp look.
"Concubine Guan, do you still remember what the maidservants who spoke at that time looked like? As long as there are some traces." Shen Muxi asked, only if this matter is stabbed to death, people will be afraid, and Guan Yuqing will not be spared. of indiscriminate disaster.
Guan Yuqing thought for a while, as if she had really remembered something, "At that time they left after they finished speaking, I only dared to poke my head out later, so I only saw two backs from a distance, they were about the same height as Nian Qiu , By the way, one of them seems to have a leg injury and walks with a limp!"
"That's easy, just go to the Imperial Hospital and check the supplementary book!" Bo Yunchong said.
Only the masters of the palace are eligible to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, and if the palace people are sick, they will go to the doctor's daughter or apprentice, and the medicines will be recorded in the auxiliary book. The servants in the palace are all carefully selected, and they are not allowed to enter the palace for half a step.
And the servants were wounded in the palace, let alone served by the master, but since that person can appear in Lianhua Xiaozhu, it means that this injury is a recent injury, if you go to investigate now, you should be able to find it!
"Xiaoli!" Bo Yunxiu shouted.
Mi Li saluted outside the door, "My lord!"
"Check!" Bo Yunxiu only had one word, but it was loud and loud.
Shen Muxi felt very comfortable, the wound on his forehead hurt just now, but now it doesn't hurt at all.
Mi Li turned around and left.
At that moment, Shen Muxi's face changed when he saw the Queen Mother. He was originally domineering, but now he was a little bit annoyed.
"You guys actually believe such absurd words, it's just a fluffy excuse!" The queen mother sat down, her face was ashen, but she stopped clamoring to kill Shen Muxi, but turned around and picked up the cup.
Shen Muxi hooked his lips and sneered, thinking about drinking tea? Want to calm down and want to retreat
However, Wei Xianer plopped down on his knees, "Empress Dowager, it's because the concubine is not good, because the concubine failed to take care of the concubine Guan, and the concubine Guan blamed the concubine just now, now that I think about it, it makes sense. Please ask the queen mother to ask the prince to punish."
Shen Muxi took a deep breath, and winked at Bao Yunxiu: Look at your good concubine.
The whole fox has been trained to become a fine fox!
Wei Xian'er bears the blame on her own, if it gets out, it's not sure what it will be. The weak side concubine Wei pushed herself to death.
As innocent as Concubine Wei was, Guan Yuqing was just as vicious.
"Wei side concubine is so courageous to take responsibility, it is really the prince's blessing!" Shen Muxi sneered, and when he said this, he still did not forget to glance at Bao Yunxiu, "I think Wei side concubine has been so lenient in managing the palace these years, Strict self-discipline. Shen Muxi admires him, but there is one thing that I don't understand, and I hope that Concubine Wei can advise me!"
Wei Xian'er had a sad face, and tried her best to be weak, "Doctor Shen, please tell me!"
"Dare to ask Concubine Wei, is Concubine Guan from the Palace?" Shen Muxi asked.
Wei Xian'er was stunned, in front of everyone, she couldn't argue with strong words, "Yes!"
"Have you always been taken care of by you? How is the relationship?" Shen Muxi asked.
Wei Xian'er felt uneasy, "Xian'er was ordered by the prince to take care of the palace. Naturally, she wanted to take care of everyone. Concubine Guan has always been behind closed doors, but Xian'er has always been thinking about it, and she has never been contemptuous. The same Side concubine, it is my duty to serve the prince well!"
"Okay!" Shen Muxi looked at the queen mother with a full smile, "Since it is a grasshopper on a rope, why did the queen mother slap and kill someone just now, and the concubine Wei didn't even have a fart? This would be risky Come out to be a good person, but I don't know what kind of wishful thinking is in my heart?"
"You!" Wei Xian'er wanted to cry, "Doctor Shen, how could you be like this..."
"Is it slander?" Shen Muxi smiled nonchalantly, "It's easy to change from white to black, but not so easy to change from black to white. Since Wei side concubine knows this truth, why bother to make excuses? , It’s true that you don’t say anything, but you can’t help but say too much!”
Wei Xian'er was speechless, she didn't expect Shen Muxi to be so eloquent, and in front of so many people, she didn't show any mercy at all. These words are heart-wrenching, which is far from the casualness that Shen Muxi usually shows.
"If you can't answer, don't open your mouth. There are too many mistakes, especially when you are in a panic." Shen Muxi directly blocked Wei Xian'er's mouth, "The empress dowager is extremely honorable, so how can you, the side concubine of Li Wang's mansion, need you to protect her? That's it, Do you want the empress dowager to surrender herself?"
Bo Yunchong opened his mouth, it's amazing!
"Bo Yunxiu!" The queen mother gritted her teeth, "This is the person you left the palace for? If you indulge again and again, what exactly do you want?"
Bo Yunxiu's expression softened a little, seeing her opening her mouth and crackling, and suddenly the corners of her lips were slightly drawn, looking in a good mood, "Life and death are important matters, let alone such trivial things as presumptuousness? If the queen mother can't do it, open one Turn a blind eye, it's better not to cause trouble! Right now, the palace is full of people from Prince Li's Mansion, and the Empress Dowager has extended her hand to Prince Li's Mansion, how can I sit idly by?"
"You!" The queen mother slammed the cup towards Shen Muxi.
With a flick of his sleeve, the cup exploded in the air, and Bo Yunxiu's eyes were sharp.
Bo Yunchong went straight to Shen Muxi, "Xiao Xixi..."
When it was too late and then it was too late, Bo Yunxiu suddenly stopped Shen Muxi's waist, and without saying a word, he embraced him in his arms, and taught the emperor to fly away. Shen Muxi looked up at him in astonishment, but he quickly pressed her into his arms, pressing her face against his chest, tightly fitting, and his ears were filled with the sound of the heartbeat in his chest.
The cold sleeves brushed past, and the deep eyes reflected the breathtaking cold, and the whole body was full of murderous aura. Regardless of whether the tea is boiling hot or not, if it is hit by a cup... Shen Muxi's forehead is already injured, if it hits again, it will be good or bad.
"It's over!" Bo Yunchong retreated quickly, all the way to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, this is going to be a disaster!"
"Ai's family is the Empress Dowager!" Even so, everyone could tell that the Empress Dowager lacked confidence. Bo Yunchong shook his head, "If he rebels, I won't be the emperor. Do you think he can respect you as the queen mother? Queen mother, take it easy, I'm still dictating him to handle the government affairs! Let's live a peaceful life, but I have to be a dog. Are you happy when you hear the cat ignores you?"
"You! The Ai family is your mother's queen!" The queen mother gnashed her teeth, "If it wasn't for the Guan family..."
"Back then?" Bo Yunchong rolled his eyes, "Back then was a past that can't go back. You lived in the present, not in the past! The second child almost died back then, isn't it still fine now? Empress, let's stop it!"
The Queen Mother was speechless.
Bo Yunchong sighed lightly, "You are the empress dowager as long as I am in power. As long as I abdicate, you will be the empress dowager!"
"Are you threatening Aijia?" The queen mother hated iron but steel.
"If threats are useful, let's assume they are threats!" Bo Yunchong waved his hands, "Stand back, let the Queen Mother calm down!"
The moment the sound fell, Nian Qiu quickly helped Guan Yuqing, and everyone quickly left the bedroom.
Queen Mother, no more words.
"Close..." Shen Muxi was about to speak when his waist tightened. As long as she dared to shout out, he could pinch her waist and bruise her. Helpless, the public couldn't give him another kick, so Shen Muxi had no choice but to let him walk out of the palace gate hugging each other.
"Moyu!" The queen mother was ashamed, "Are you saying that Aijia really did something wrong? Aijia just wanted to avoid future troubles forever, and just wanted to treat Xian'er better, Aijia..."
"Queen Dowager!" Mo Yu sighed softly, "Wei side concubine is ignorant, why should you intervene? You took this matter on yourself and made the emperor and His Royal Highness Li hate you, so why bother?" ?”
The queen mother smiled bitterly, with a sour smile, "Why do you mourn the family, don't you still know?"
"Queen Mother, let yourself go!" Mo Yu shook her head helplessly.
If he could let it go, would he end up in the land he is today
Outside the Hall of Spring Jubilee.
Wei Xian'er's complexion was pale, but there was a calm look in her brows and eyes. I have to say that it's a pity not to go on stage to sing with such acting skills.
Guan Yuqing held her breath, she hadn't had such a violent temper for many years, how could she just let it go! But before she stepped forward, Shen Muxi grabbed her wrist.
God knows how much Shen Muxi struggled to break free from Bo Yunxiu's arms.
"Be safe and don't be impatient!" Shen Muxi smiled lightly, "Everything will be rewarded, it's not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come!"
Guan Yuqing pinched her knuckles blue, and finally sighed bitterly.
Seeing Shen Muxi dragging Guan Yuqing away, Wei Xian'er frowned, and walked towards Bo Yunxiu, "Wang..."
Mi Li blocked Wei Xian'er's way, and Bo Yunxiu walked away shoulder to shoulder with the emperor without looking back.
"Wei side concubine!" Mi Li bowed and saluted, "My lord has something to say, please pass it on to me."
Wei Xian'er immediately turned serious. At this time, Mi Li said that Bo Yunxiu had an explanation. Obviously, he said it before Bo Yunxiu entered the palace, so he didn't know what he would say.
Mi Li said, "My lord said, Concubine Wei has been working too hard on government affairs these years, so she will inevitably feel tired, and it is easy to do bad things and do wrong things. In order to prevent things from getting worse, please take care of Concubine Wei. In the future, there will be no need for Concubine Wei to do anything in the mansion." No matter how worried the side concubine is, you should be your side concubine and take care of the young master!"
After finishing speaking, Mi Li turned around.
Wei Xian'er's body trembled violently, "My lord, what does this mean?"
"What does the lord mean, the side concubine is so smart, can she still not understand?" Mi Li smiled without turning her head.
Bo Yunxiu was relieved of her power in the Prince Li's Mansion. From then on, she was no longer the uncompromising side concubine Wei. In this way, she, Wei Xian'er, was just a concubine at best, no different from those concubines in the backyard who had been in the mansion for many years but had never even seen the prince.
"Master?" Yizhu hurriedly supported Wei Xian'er who was on the verge of falling.
Wei Xian'er's face was ashen, and she suddenly burst into tears, "Why? What's so good about her? With my appearance, I've been with him for so many years, why can't I win his heart? How can that woman be, and what is a country woman like? The body of the second marriage... "
"Master!" Yizhu hurriedly said, "That woman must have taken medicine!"
Wei Xian'er was startled, yes, Shen Muxi is a doctor!
In the cloister.
"Don't chase?" Bo Yunchong walked side by side with Bao Yunxiu, with his hands behind his back, "Weren't we in a hurry before? If we didn't remember that this place is the palace, we would have been flying a long time ago!"
Bo Yunchong saw it clearly, and suddenly heard that Shen Muxi was brought to Changfu Palace, that boy Bo Yunxiu wished he could grow wings. Even though he handles the affairs of state in an orderly manner, and is also savage in chasing down the rebellious party, when it comes to dealing with women, he is a green-headed young man.
"I know, that summer...that thing hurt you a lot, and I'm very pleased that you can let go of it now." Bao Yunchong stopped in his tracks, "Tell me the truth, is this Shen Muxi and that person from back then? what is the relationship?"
Bo Yunxiu was silent.
Bo Yunchong was a little anxious, "Women don't like boring gourds."
"She is her." Bo Yunxiu replied coldly.
Bo Yunchong nodded, "It's interesting to watch, but when he loses his temper, he resembles that person very much!"
"She's her!" Bao Yunxiu gave him a gouging look.
Bo Yunchong snorted, "I know, I know! I get angry after saying a few words, exactly the same as before, no one can move, it's like a thorn growing on the tip of my heart."
Bo Yunxiu snorted coldly, and walked away directly.
"This person..." Bo Yunchong angrily said, "I owe you such a big favor, and I will pay it back sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty!" Ding Quan shook his head.
"Has anyone been found?" Bo Yunchong asked.
Ding Quan and Cong Shan looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"The portrait of me is so good, the gang of criminals can't find anyone?" Bo Yunchong put his hands on his hips, furious, "Sure enough, I can't do anything when I'm full. I have to find a way to fix it. It's unreasonable for my drinker to not do anything for me!"
Ding Quan shivered, "Oh my god, Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"Didn't you say it all? If you are full, stop working!" Bo Yunchong took a deep breath, "Tomorrow I will summon all the concubines in the harem for me, and I must teach Liu Fengshou a lesson!"
Congshan tightened the sword in his hand, what a pity...
...
Quiet rockery gazebo.
The wind blows slightly cool, dispelling the summer heat.
Shen Muxi looked at Guan Yuqing, who had a slightly sluggish expression, and her fists on her knees, her knuckles turned blue, and her brows furrowed slightly.
A Luo and Nian Qiu stood at a distance to keep out the wind so that no one else would approach.
"Miss Guan!" Shen Muxi patted the back of Guan Yuqing's hand lightly, signaling her to relax, "Are you alright?"
Guan Yuqing came back to her senses, probably realizing that she was too immersed, she loosened her fist slightly, but Shen Muxi quickly opened her palm. It's still unknown that her nails are embedded in her palm, which shows how excited she is.
"I'm sorry!" Guan Yuqing took a deep breath, "My kindness almost didn't help!"
"You just didn't expect that people's hearts can be so sinister." Shen Muxi took out a small bowl of plaster from the small bag that he carried with him, and it was grass-colored when he opened it, "I'll rub some plaster on you, it will heal faster! "
Guan Yuqing originally wanted to refuse, but Shen Muxi didn't give her a straight line. He grabbed her hand and gave her medicine, "Girl, you should take good care of your body, hair and skin. If you don't love yourself, do you expect others to love you?" ?”
In a word, Guan Yuqing's eyes turned red, "Besides Nianqiu and Xiaozhi, you are the third."
"There will always be a fourth and a fifth, and it depends on whether you accept it or not." Shen Muxi gently blew on the plaster in her palm, "The story is my own, why let others tamper with it? Miss Guan, you underestimated the enemy!"
Guan Yuqing smiled with red eyes, "Why... why don't you call me Concubine Guan side like they do?"
"Because Nianqiu has respected you as Miss from the beginning to the end." Shen Muxi took back the plaster, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's the side concubine or Miss, you are you after all, and you won't become someone else just because of a title." !"
Guan Yuqing nodded fiercely, and the cool breeze brushed her cheeks, gradually waking her mind up.
As if opening a chatterbox, Guan Yuqing murmured, "Doctor Shen, do you know why I stood up this time? I have encountered many things in these years, and I have never stood up for anyone, you are an exception!"
"You said, that's your bottom line." Shen Muxi still remembered what she said to the Queen Mother.
"Yes!" Guan Yuqing stood up, supported the stone pillar and looked into the distance, as if there was something she could no longer see there, "My mother, the woman the Queen Mother mentioned, died like that."
Shen Muxi was stunned and didn't dare to say more.
Guan Yuqing continued, "It's okay to tell you, because you have nothing to do with anyone. In Liwang Mansion, you can be regarded as a completely independent existence. My mother is a rough envoy and servant, and because the master got drunk once, I existed , so from the very beginning, I was unpopular, if it wasn't for the Guan family's decline, I would have disappeared with my mother."
The Guan family is honorable and favored by the emperor, they cannot tolerate such things that make the world laugh. "My mother was driven back to my hometown, and I grew up in the countryside. Although the Guan family left our mother and daughter to fend for themselves, those days were the happiest and happiest days for me and my mother." Guan Yuqing smiled wryly, obviously thinking that It's a very happy thing, but I can't tell the feeling of happiness, how sad it is.
Shen Muxi closed her eyes, the days she and Shen Zhi were in Huli Village were also the happiest. Carefree, no need to worry about intrigues, no need to worry about being chased and killed, the feeling of living calmly is really better than all the glory and wealth.
"But later, they wanted to take me back to the Eastern Capital, and my mother refused to agree, so she came back with me." When Guan Yuqing said this, she held Shi Zhu's hand, and the veins on her back slightly twitched, "You know? My mother was born very well when she was young, and even after she lived in her hometown, her appearance did not change at all. When we returned to the Eastern Capital, we lived in a remote courtyard and still depended on each other."
Taking a deep breath, Guan Yuqing closed her brows and eyes heavily, some words got stuck in her throat, and she didn't have the courage to say them anymore.
"Don't talk about it." Shen Muxi's voice was hoarse, "It's okay to hurt once when it's sad, and there's no point in hurting again. Even if I don't know who you are or what you've been through, as long as you're Miss Guan ! Friends make friends, regardless of background."
Guan Yuqing turned around slowly, with tears on her face, her eyes were terribly red, she opened her mouth, her voice was like rubbing a handful of sand, her voice was extremely hoarse, "Nianqiu and I went to play on the street that day, and we went back to the yard When I was there, I found a lot of people around the yard. I tried my best to squeeze in, and finally saw my poor mother, lying in the yard covered in blood."
"Those people beat her with sticks, saying that she was not chaste and unclean, that she was having sex with a servant, and was caught straight. The mother's clothes were not covered, and a lot of blood was drawn on her pretty face, and the blood continued. She looked at me with her eyes open, and kept shaking her head, telling me not to go. If I had listened to my mother that day and hadn’t gone to play on the street... Maybe nothing would have happened.”
"Doctor Shen, have you ever tasted the feeling of watching a loved one die with your own eyes? When I knew that my mother was drugged, it was because those people were afraid of my mother's seductiveness and that my mother would steal the so-called position, so they asked for help." Do you know how much I hate her when she dies? But I can't help it, except for Nianqiu, no one will believe that I will help me. "
Shen Muxi was crying, stepped forward and hugged Guan Yuqing, "Stop it! Don't say it! I have experienced the pain of losing a loved one, I know what it feels like, please stop it!"
"Do you know?" Guan Yuqing stood there firmly, letting the tears fill the air, "I watched my mother being soaked in the pig cage, and the water submerged her little by little. She opened her mouth and said to me, live well!" down, and then...she never came up."
Shen Muxi burst into tears.
Tears slipped down the corner of her lips, Guan Yuqing smiled sadly, "Doctor Shen, I feel a little pain!"
