After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

212 Chapter 212, an affair

Concubine Xian lives in Qingliang Hall.

This hall is located in the northwest of the palace, closer to the lotus pond.

In summer, in the Qingliang Temple, you can see the endless green lotus leaves in the sky, the wind blows the lotus leaves fluttering, and the pink lotus slender water waves... Especially in the early morning, when the lake is full of water vapor, Xianlixian It's so beautiful, it's as beautiful as a fairyland.

After entering the Qingliang Hall, a maid brought a dress on a tray, it was light taupe-colored, the material of the dress should be of the highest quality, and it was decorated with various jade stones.

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "This is a suit of clothes that I made before entering the palace. At that time, the material was very expensive, and I only wore it once or twice. Later, I couldn't wear it when I was pregnant.

"After the confinement period, I can't lose weight, and I can't wear it even more. I have no choice but to store it at the bottom of the box, and I don't want to throw it away. It just sits idle for several years.

"Now that I see the little princess, I immediately feel that you are destined for it. Today, I will give it to the little princess to wear..."

Mu Yunjiang caressed the dress, the material was really good, and the workmanship was exquisite: "Since Concubine Xian's favorite, how can I give Yunjiang? Or, forget it?"

I feel that this dress is very special to her.

She was on guard in her heart, and she wanted to refuse politely, for fear of causing trouble for herself.

"No matter how much I like it, I can't fit it out of shape. No matter how beautiful the dress is, it's useless. You, don't be polite to me, go and change it...Xiaoxin, take the little princess to the side hall to change..."

Concubine Xian ordered her maidservant to take her to the side hall.

Mu Yunjiang thought for a while, her body was wet a lot, and it was extremely cold, so it was strangely uncomfortable, since they are all here, let's change into it.

When she arrived at the side hall, the maid named Xiao Xin wanted to help her change her clothes, but she refused, not letting anyone get close to her body.

Let the palace maid back down, she came behind the screen, took off the wet dress, and then put on the dress of Concubine Xian, looking at the mirror, she was pink and tender, the color matched her skin tone very well .

Coming out of the side hall, there was no one at the door, so Xiaoxin didn't know where she went.

Mu Yunjiang went to the main hall, but there was no sign of him, only a few palace maids guarding there, so he asked, "Where is the concubine Xian?"

"Go back to the little princess, the empress is in the study!"

One of them answered.

Mu Yunjiang went to the study, but heard a faint voice of dispute coming from inside:

"It's been so many years, and you've never looked at me directly. How can I be inferior to that little concubine? If you didn't want me back then, I wouldn't have married into the palace to be a widow."

That hateful voice is—Concubine Xian?
Mu Yunjiang froze in her steps.

What do you mean?
Who did she hatefully call "little concubine"?
alone?
So, all her enthusiasm just now was faked?
Also, who is in the study?
"Concubine Xian, don't talk nonsense. I remember your kindness back then, but I have no selfish relationship with you!"

It was Xiao Qiyu who was arguing.

"No personal affair? What does it mean to celebrate my birthday with me? What does it mean to give me clothes? Standing out for me, beating my head to the point of bleeding, what is it for?

"Xiao Qiyu, just because I was favored by your father, you dare not compete with your father?
"You've ruined my whole life, do you know that - these years, I've lived in this deep palace, day and night like years, lifeless, like a walking dead. I'll accompany you for a while, and you just repay me like this?

"Before, didn't you keep saying that you would not marry in this life? If you really did not marry, I would admit it, but now, you are married, and it is a grand marriage?

"So, let me ask you, what are the years I've been with you, in your heart, really worth?"

That desolate crying sound really makes me feel pity!

Mu Yunjiang was surprised, she didn't expect her man to have an affair with this Concubine Xian?
The prince and stepmother have such a relationship that is constantly being cut and messed up. Once it is exposed, the prince's future can be regarded as ruined.

No, if this kind of words were heard by others, it would be fine, so she purposely yelled loudly:
"Concubine Xian, are you there? Concubine Xian, if you are not here, I will go look for my husband..."

After the words fell, Xiao Qiyu rushed out of the study immediately, and shouted: "A-Jiang..."

But when he saw the clothes on her body, his eyes dimmed, and his expression was very strange.

"My lord, you are here!"

Mu Yunjiang greeted her immediately with a smile.

Xiao Qiyu suddenly gave Mu Yunjiang a gouged look, "Who told you to wear this dress?"

The tone was unprecedentedly harsh.

Mu Yunjiang's expression froze, yo, he's promising, how dare he yell at himself?
"The clothes in this palace are all old clothes, this one is the newest, so it should be given to you as a wedding gift..."

There was a provocative look in Concubine Xian's eyes.

Mu Yunjiang is a smart person, and immediately understood that this dress has a story-could it be given by this man?

"Then why don't I change my body!"

She was still holding the skirt she had just changed.

Xiao Qiyu pursed his lips, endured unknown anger, looked at her and said: "Forget it, let's go!"

He stepped over, pulled Mu Yunjiang up, and walked away, taking very big steps.

Mu Yunjiang was small and had short legs, so she couldn't keep up and nearly tripped over.

Concubine Xian stared at them coldly from behind and laughed straightly: "Xiao Qiyu, you are the most ruthless and ruthless person in the world, I curse you and your husband to go to eighteen levels of hell..."

The sun was shining brightly, but Mu Yunjiang felt a chill on his back.But the big palm that was holding her was getting tighter and tighter, which hurt her even more.

After leaving the Qingliang Palace, Mu Yunjiang couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Xiao Qiyu, I'm not leaving, you're walking so fast, how can I keep up? Hand in hand, let go, let go quickly, my hands are all gone!" I was strangled by you..."

Only then did Xiao Qiyu come back to his senses, and said nervously: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention... how about it, let me see!"

She shook him off.

He wanted to catch and investigate.

She refused: "It's okay, the pain can't be seen."

Seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't ask, she just said: "We'll talk about it when we go back..."

I'm afraid that walls have ears, after all this concubine Xian is now the emperor's concubine, if she really wants to spread rumors, it will do all kinds of harm to Xiao Qiyu but not any benefit.

Xiao Qiyu's eyes flashed, he nodded and said: "Well, let's talk about it when we go home, now go to see Concubine De... This one is probably difficult to deal with, you just beat her mother Liu yesterday..."

Mu Yunjiang raised her eyebrows: "Who have I ever been afraid of?"

Yes, she is so courageous, what is she afraid of?

But in the Imperial Palace, if he is a little careless, he will be doomed—just at the beginning, his eyelids twitched wildly, and I hope there will be no accidents in the future.

As long as they paid homage to Concubine De, they could leave the palace smoothly.

So the two of them walked to the Ningde Palace of Concubine De, with only one servant behind them. All the gifts that should have been given before have been delivered, and now there is only one left. sent over.

The gate of Ningde Palace was closed.

After Xiao Qiyu brought Mu Yunjiang over to explain his intentions, the palace maid went in to report, and immediately welcomed them over.

Concubine De, who was dressed in a steady and dignified manner, was feeding the fish leisurely, with an incomparably leisurely expression. She was dressed in a light purple costume, making her extremely graceful and graceful.

The palace maid stepped forward and called out: "Your Majesty, King Jingbei and Concubine Jingbei have come to pay their respects..."

Concubine De turned her head, her face was extremely dignified and arrogant, her cheeks looked extremely young, she did not look like she had given birth to an adult prince at all.

She took a warm face towel from the hand of the palace maid, wiped her white and clean hands, smiled slightly, and sat on the high seat.

Xiao Qiyu and Mu Yunjiang knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "I pay my respects to Concubine Defei..."

Concubine De raised her sleeves and leaned lazily, her eyes flicked across the face of the little princess, then she stared at King Jingbei and said:
"Third son, I heard that yesterday, the little concubine beat the mother Liu who was sent by the palace. What's going on?
"Grandma Liu is also quite old, you children, why are you so ignorant of respecting the old people in the palace.

"Although I was born as a servant girl, I am the most filial, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue. What can't be said properly, and I have to do something?

"If the truth spreads out, it will definitely hinder your reputation as King Jingbei. Doesn't King Jingbei cherish his own reputation the most?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he supported his mother.

After hearing this, Xiao Qiyu hurriedly replied: "Ms. De Concubine, everything in this world has rules and regulations. Although the nanny is an old man, you sent it here. She should be respected. However, since she entered the palace, the affairs Everything has to be done according to the rules of the palace..."

But he was cut off:
"It's right to follow the rules, but when the emperor discussed the affairs of the world in the previous dynasty, he mentioned that everything should be remonstrated. Liu Nanny is an experienced old man. Can’t it? How can the country be governed if everything is said and done? Naturally, this principle can also be applied to family affairs, don’t you think?”

This concubine De is really good at arguing.

Mu Yunjiang couldn't take it anymore, and immediately argued for Xiao Qiyu:

"Your Majesty is right, but your Majesty, no matter how much you speak out, you have to take care of the master's face. It's okay for some counselors to speak later. If you refute the Patriarch in public, how can the Patriarch manage the family?" Anne?

"If the lord can't even hold down a palace, how can he solve the problems for the emperor?
"As an old man, you should know how to persuade the master to accept it? In front of the servants of the mansion, he refuted it in public. This is not to help the prince, but to be the ancestor of the prince.

"I think this Liu mama is a good and understanding mama in front of the concubine De, but people keep secrets in their hearts, and there will always be some double-faced tricks in places that you can't see, openly taking advantage of your face, Bullying.

"This kind of person should be tempered, otherwise it will only damage the face of the concubine Defei in the future. For the empress, the gain outweighs the loss..."

Concubine De looked at the little princess, tsk tsk tsk, listen, how powerful she said, "Oh, little girl, you have such sharp teeth..."

"My son is terrified." Mu Yunjiang said humbly.

"I heard that the youngest daughter of the Mu family is a Jianghu girl. Before, I thought she would be a rough and careless barbarian girl, but I was wrong. She looks so pretty and has a stable temper. All the debts have been cleared up, amazing, it seems that Grandma Liu can't be of much help. How about this, you can put Grandma Liu back later..."

Concubine De actually wants to ask Nanny Liu back.

"Yes, when you turn around, Erchen will let Nanny Liu go back to serve you."

Xiao Qiyu agreed.

"Okay, let's serve tea!"

Then a maid served tea directly.

"I invite Empress Defei to have some tea."

Mu Yunjiang held up the teacup high.

Concubine De took a sip.

Seeing that she had already eaten, Mu Yunjiang offered the Jiuhua Yulu ointment he had prepared.

Concubine De sniffed it, and said lightly: "I won't accept things, the palace doesn't use things that everyone in the palace has..."

This is disgusting.

"You guys go back, I'm also tired...seeing off guests..."

Concubine De didn't look at them very seriously because her background was the highest among all the concubines.

Back then, she almost became a queen, and the emperor still cared about her very much.Of course, now that I am old and my color is fading, so is my love.

In the previous life, this woman thought that her son had come to fight for the position of king, but unfortunately she was unsuccessful and hanged herself in the end.

Mu Yunjiang is a person who has the memories of the previous life. Today, I kowtowed in a circle, and my heart is actually quite sad. Without him, in the previous life, these living concubines would not die well...

Xiao Qiyu hurriedly led her back out, but before they could go far, there was an earth-shattering cry from behind:

"My lady, my lady, what's the matter with you? Come on, come on, my concubine De has been poisoned... It's terrible, Princess Jingbei poisoned Concubine De..."

Mu Yunjiang was at a loss for a while:
Was she poisoned?
Hehe, the world is really big, there are no surprises...

As soon as the words fell, a few maidservants jumped out of the palace, directly blocking their way, and the leader shouted at Mu Yunjiang in a cold voice:
"Where did you run away? Where did our Concubine De offend you, Concubine Jingbei, you actually want to kill her like this?"

Mu Yunjiang was very annoyed when she heard this: "I don't know what to do, why do you say that I was poisoned?"

"Our concubine Defei was fine just now, but just because I drank your tea, I vomited blood. It wasn't your poison. Could it be that people in our palace wanted to harm the empress?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiyu protected Mu Yunjiang behind him, and said coldly: "The tea, water, and tea utensils used for serving tea are all from your palace, how can we poison them?"

When the maidservant heard it, it seemed reasonable, but they still stopped her and said:
"Anyway, you can't leave. If Concubine De has a mistake, the servants can't explain it to the emperor. No matter what, you were there when the incident happened, and you can't get away with it..."

"Okay, then let's not go, I know poison, so let me show your mother..."

Mu Yunjiang definitely did it out of kindness.

But the maidservant said: "No need, our people have already gone to invite the imperial doctor, who knows what evil intentions you have hidden? King Jingbei, please wait here... Hey, my lord, what are you doing... "

While she was speaking, Xiao Qiyu directly moved his hand, pressed down the maidservant, turned around and said to Mu Yunjiang: "Go and show Defei Empress..."

This German concubine can't have any accidents, once an accident happens, the situation in the court will be chaotic.

The important thing is that they have been involved, and if they fail, they will lose their lives because of it...

Mu Yunjiang nodded, and jumped back, and sure enough, she saw Concubine De collapsed on the seat just now, her mouth was full of blood, and her lips had already turned black...

That's right, Concubine De was really poisoned!

　See you tomorrow.
