The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 259
"I'm talking about the wound on my forehead. It was still here before, why it disappeared after I washed my face." Mu Qingyu explained eagerly, lest Li Zhao misunderstand, she was trying to win Li Zhao's attention. Just pretended to have a wound on his forehead.

"I know." Li Zhao grabbed Mu Qingyu's little hand that was waving around in panic.

"What do you know?" Mu Qingyu asked.

"everything."

Mu Qingyu remembered something, and blurted out: "Is Caihe yours?"

When Caihe saw the jade pendant she was carrying next to her that day, she knew it was a gift from Li Zhao.

You know, even Mo Zhu doesn't know the origin of this jade pendant, how did Cai He know it?

Unless, Caihe is Li Zhao's person.

Li Zhao raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.

He didn't plan to hide it from Mu Qingyu, presumably Cai He didn't do everything possible to keep his identity.

So everything can be explained.No wonder Cai He is so loyal to him, no wonder Li Zhao can always ignore him.

It turned out that all his actions were under Li Zhao's nose.

"Did you give me the ointment Caihe gave me?" Mu Qingyu asked again.

Ever since she was injured, she has been applying the ointment that Caihe gave her.

The smoothness of her forehead can be restored without any trace, it must be the credit of that bottle of ointment.

Li Zhao nodded again.

Sweetness rose from the tip of Mu Qingyu's heart, and the feeling of sweetness spread to all limbs.

This is probably the feeling of being cared for all the time.

The warm candlelight reflected in Mu Qingyu's clear eyes, and a cluster of small flames flickered.

Li Zhao's heart moved and he lowered his head.

The place where Sang Ye lived was already full of flames, shining red light in the dark night.

Without anyone shouting, everyone in the Great Harmony Hall noticed the fire over there.

The empress recognized it at a glance, it was the direction of her bedroom.

She was furious, who would dare to set fire to her head?
The queen empress also ignored the banquet and left in a hurry with her people.

King Jin got up and wanted to follow.

The Holy One said: "It is enough for the queen to go, we two brothers, let's have another drink."

King Jin had no choice but to sit down.

He raised his wine glass, touched the Holy One from a distance, and drank it down in one gulp.

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, the King of Jin hesitated to speak, but asked: "Brother and sister-in-law, is there something wrong with each other?"

The Holy Majesty drank another glass of wine, and said in a cold voice, "No."

"It's my minister's overthinking." Jin Wang was sullen, drinking glass after glass of wine.

The fire in the harem attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Those wives and ladies wanted to take a look, but they didn't dare to go there due to their identities, so they could only keep listening to the conversations of the maids coming and going, trying to hear something.

At this time, Mu Qingxue's identity came in handy.

She is Concubine Xian, the daughter-in-law of the Empress Empress, so she should go over there to have a look at this time.

Mu Qingxue got up and went out with Chunhong.

A fire in the harem is no small matter.

Mu Qingxue couldn't hide her gossip, wishing she could fly over to find out.

Walking to the imperial garden, she hurriedly walked and bumped into a dark shadow accidentally.

Mu Qingxue was knocked back a step, and Chunhong had already opened her mouth to reprimand: "Which one is blind? Dare to bump into Princess Xian?"

"My daughter... My daughter didn't do it on purpose."

Mu Qingxue stood still, and through the moonlight, she saw clearly that the person opposite was Lin Su, the third young lady of the Lin family.

Mu Qingxue had heard a lot about the rumors that Li Zhao was retiring from Mu Qingyu and marrying Miss Lin.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"Why is Ms. Lin here?" Mu Qingxue asked kindly.

Chunhong glanced at Mu Qingxue, then quietly retreated behind Mu Qingxue.

Lin Su lowered her head to prevent the people opposite from seeing her red and swollen eyes.

"The courtier is watching the scenery in the imperial garden." Lin Su said carelessly.

Of course Mu Qingxue didn't believe it, watching the scenery alone in the imperial garden?
"It's on fire over there, does Miss Lin know?" Mu Qingxue asked again.

"I know." Lin Su had already discovered it.

It's just that she was hiding her thoughts and was not interested at all.

Anyway, the place where the fire started was far away from her, so the fire couldn't come here.

Mu Qingxue thought that Mu Qingyu lived in the direction of the fire, and if Mu Qingyu and Lin Su could meet each other, it would be okay to add trouble to Mu Qingyu.

So Mu Qingxue invited: "Miss Lin, why don't you go over with me to have a look."

"The courtier has other things..."

Lin Su just wanted to evade, but Mu Qingxue interrupted impatiently: "What? You won't give me this face?"

Lin Su shrank her neck in fright, and hurriedly said, "Your servant dare not."

"Then come with me."

Seeing that Lin Su couldn't escape, she had no choice but to follow Mu Qingxue to the burning place.

The fire was so fierce that the three of them found it without any guidance.

The empress is not far away, directing people to put out the fire.

Mu Qingxue walked up with Lin Su, saluted first, and said, "Queen, is there any servant who can help?"

The queen glanced at Mu Qingxue, and said indifferently: "There are servants here, you go to the side and hide for a while, don't let the smoke smoke you."

"Yes, the queen mother should also take care of herself."

Mu Qingxue led Lin Su to the side again.

Not far away, there was a thick quilt, and there was a person lying on it.

The man's eyes were closed tightly, and his breath was weak.

Mu Qingxue walked up and asked, "Who is this? Was it smoked by the fire?"

"Back to Wangfei, she is Sang Ye, the maid next to the empress." The maid who was standing by the side replied.

This is Sang Ye who was knocked unconscious by Mu Qingyu?

Mu Qingxue took a few more glances and asked, "Why is she lying here? Is she still alive?"

"Back to the princess, it's Sister Sangye's residence that caught fire, Sister Sangye is fine."

Mu Qingxue clicked his tongue twice, and said it was a pity in his heart.

If Sang Ye died, the Empress would be able to deal with Mu Qingyu without any scruples.

"It's so pitiful." Lin Su sighed with emotion in a low voice.

"What's so pitiful?" Mu Qingxue asked back, "If it wasn't for her, the marriage of General Li would not be your turn."

Lin Su blushed, "I don't understand what the princess said."

Mu Qingxue frowned and looked at Lin Su.

She didn't believe that Lin Su was not interested in this marriage.

In Mu Qingxue's thinking, if you like it, you have to say it out loud, and you have to rely on your own ability to fight for it.

"Don't worry, I'm on your side." Mu Qingxue said.

"My daughter... My daughter doesn't know..."

"I don't believe it, you don't know that you are going to be engaged to General Li. Maybe your family has already made preparations, and you just wait for the palace's order." Mu Qingxue said carelessly.

Lin Su felt ashamed when her thoughts were pierced.

Thinking of the grievances she suffered at Li Zhao just now, she almost couldn't stand up anymore.

"I don't know if the General Li mentioned by the fourth sister is the one I know?" Mu Qingyu said, walking up to Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingyu lives nearby, so it's not surprising that she came here.

"certainly……"

Mu Qingxue finished half a sentence, but when she saw Mu Qingyu's face, she choked on the second half of the sentence.

She stared at Mu Qingyu's forehead, unable to close her mouth in surprise.

"your face……?"
