The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Those beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed again, with a hint of sarcasm, he said: "A death row prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms?"

Mu Lan so-called shrugged her shoulders, and said: "There is no harm in giving it a try. If you don't agree, you can just take the blueprint away."

Dong Lingjue stared at her, and said for a while, "Since it's something that Mu Lan knows, why should I accept yours? Does anyone know if there is any other conspiracy involved?"

Mu Lan didn't deny his words, and said: "Well, since that's the case, then I'll just treat it as a waste of work." If Jin Ning can really recall those details and make the hot air balloon.

Dong Lingjue leaned slightly, approached her a little bit, and said: "Is this all you asked me to say?"

"Otherwise?" Mu Lan looked at him, "I have said everything I wanted to say, there is no need to repeat it."

Those eyes were as penetrating as clear springs, Dong Ling could see it in his eyes, and his face was full of secrets, "Do you have anything else to say about the Empress Dowager?"

Mu Lan lowered her eyes and said with some guilt, "The mistake has been made, I can only accept the guilt."

"Why?" Dong Lingjue grabbed her chin and stared at her, "Give me a reason why you must do this."

Those phoenix eyes that reflected her face were filled with puzzlement and anger, was it just anger?Mulan suddenly felt a little comforted in her heart. Even now, his eyes have never shown any hatred for her. Does that mean that, at least, he still doesn't want to believe that she killed the queen mother?

"If you want to talk about the reason, you should be able to think of it." Being restrained by him, Mu Lan had to look up at him, and said word by word: "It's because of hatred, because you once betrayed me, that's why I'm here today." everything of."

She wasn't lying to him, it was indeed because of the ending of the previous life that everything happened today.

Dong Lingjue heard the words, after being startled for a while, he sneered and said, "Is that how you understand it?"

What he said made Mu Lan a little confused, and she didn't understand what he meant for a while.Could it be that he wanted to say that he didn't intend to harm her in the previous life?Although she also held the same suspicion, didn't he almost forget everything about his previous life?It didn't seem like he was defending himself.

But, if not, what did he mean by this?

"That's all." Dong Lingjue let her go suddenly, and said, "So, you admit that you conspired with Xi Feng to poison the Queen Mother?"

Mu Lan took a deep breath, inhaled that familiar breath deeply into her body, and said, "Yes."

Those pitch-black pupils shrank for a moment, and suddenly there was a bit of vigor, and he said: "Don't think that if I didn't kill you this time, it means that I won't in the future. I think you should be very clear about the crime of murdering the Queen Mother."

Mu Lan smiled and said: "Before the queen mother is found, keeping me may be a threat when necessary, so I have the plan of Li Daitao's death. But now, you don't have to worry about it anymore, of course There is no reason to let me go, and I won't fail to see this clearly."

Dong Ling gave a cold snort, stood up, and said, "Since that's the case, the day the Empress Dowager is buried is the day of your death!"

"Thank you for letting me know." Mu Lan replied lightly.To her, being able to have this life is already earned, and she has no regrets about being able to fall in love with him again.

What she didn't notice was that because of her words, the person opposite had already held the hands under the sleeves until their knuckles turned white, and the cruelty in their eyes seemed to want to grab her and crush her to death on the spot.

After a long time, he bent down again, grabbed the drawing that was placed on the table, and said, "Tell me about your conditions."

He changed his mind?Mu Lan was a little surprised, but soon relieved, and said: "My condition is very simple, that is, let me die with dignity." Although she did not witness the Ling Chi with her own eyes, as a writer of ancient Chinese novels, she is very concerned about this kind of punishment. is quite understandable.She was afraid of pain and let alone talk, but she didn't want to be stripped naked in public, and then cut off her flesh piece by piece. [

Dong Lingjue obviously didn't think that her so-called condition was just like this, the gloom on his face became heavier, and at the end, he said coldly: "I will reward you with a whole body as you wish."

Mu Lan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Deal."

Seeing that she was not going to say another word, Dong Ling squeezed the blueprint in his hand tightly, turned around with a cold face, and then left without looking back.

The distance from Jeju to Wujiang is more than 1000 miles, but fortunately there is a waterway connecting them.When Mo Yan suspended the Empress Dowager from Jeju, he had ordered the Jeju officials to escort the Empress Dowager's body all the way to Wujiang by water, and he himself drove back all the way.So, going upstream this time, within three days, they met the boat from Jeju. Five days later, a group of people rushed to Wujiang with the coffin containing the empress dowager's body.

The whole city of Wujiang greeted them with plain oysters, and Dong Lingjue personally carried the coffin into the city from the pier, and temporarily placed the coffin in the other garden.

With so many days of buffering, Dong Lingjue finally did not lose control when he saw the Queen Mother's body again, but his eyes were still red.

In the coffin, the queen mother seemed to be asleep, with a calm expression. It was not difficult to see from the slightly darkened lips and nails that she had indeed died of poisoning.Imperial physician Xie had received Dong Lingjue's order early on. After mortuary, he went up to do an examination, turned around and nodded at Dong Lingjue.

Jin Ning was waiting by the side, seeing this scene, he didn't know what it meant.But seeing Dong Lingjue's complexion suddenly darkened a lot, her heart rose for no reason.

However, Dong Lingjue didn't look at her, and only ordered to go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning, and tonight, he would personally guard the queen mother's coffin.

"You stay too." Dong Lingjue looked at Jin Ning and said, "Come with me."

Although Jin Ning is a concubine, he has no heirs yet, so in theory, he is not qualified to guard the spirit of the queen mother.Therefore, Dong Lingjue suddenly made this request, which surprised her, but also made her a little bit happy, and hurriedly responded: "Yes."

As a result, other people left the other garden one after another, even the guards and maids on duty also retreated outside the main hall that was temporarily used as the mourning hall, and there were only the two of them left in the mourning hall.

The air was so still that you could even hear a needle drop to the ground. Jin Ning knelt beside Dong Lingjue, thinking that he had been depressed these days, so he opened his mouth and said, "When I was 15 years old, I My concubine also left me, so I understand your feelings very well. I think the Empress Dowager's soul in heaven will also feel your filial piety."

Dong Lingjue took a bunch of incense and lit it, inserted it into the incense burner, and burned some dark foil, then said: "Tomorrow morning, you and Mo Yan will set off with me, and you should be able to reach the palace within two days."

"Two days?" Jin Ning thought he had heard it wrong at first, but then he thought of something, "You said that I and the national teacher are with you, are you going back to Beijing in a hot air balloon? But, how could you have……"

Dong Lingjue turned to look at her, and said, "Xi Yan handed over the blueprint for making hot air balloons to me."

old face!Jin Ning suddenly felt sour, and she had to admit that that woman understood his thoughts better.At least, it never occurred to her to use a hot air balloon to help him.It's just because it doesn't belong to her memory, she doesn't bother to recall it at all, but she also lost the opportunity because of it.
