The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 274: Chapter 278

This slightly questioning rhetorical question made Yun Ran's heart beat faster, and he couldn't figure out what Sikong Mu Sheng meant.

This marriage happened inexplicably, completely beyond Yun Ran's expectations.

In fact, she really didn't know how to get along with Sikong Mu Sheng. After changing her identity, she became his fiancée. The two talked face to face, and she felt a little uneasy.

Such uneasiness is more due to the original owner's memory of him, the rumored him.

"My lord really likes to joke." Yun Ran laughed dryly and lowered his head slowly, "If there is nothing wrong, Yun Ran will leave."

It's better to avoid this evil king.

"Something happened."

Yun Ran was about to lift his foot, but had to put it back again, and looked at Sikong Mu Sheng in astonishment, couldn't he understand his excuse?

How could this man do this?

Perhaps the expression on Yunran's face was too real, but Sikong and Mu Sheng could tell what she was thinking at a glance. For some reason, looking at this astonished and somewhat angry face, his mood immediately brightened. , "It's really something."

Yunran's heart slowly relaxed, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what was going on with him.

It is really inappropriate for two people to stand here and talk like this, so they said: "Then invite the prince to sit in the flower hall."

Sikong Mu Sheng nodded indifferently, and Yun Ran led the way.

The two entered the flower hall all the way, and ordered the girl to bring tea, then looked at Sikong Mu Sheng and asked, "I don't know what's the matter with the lord?"

The charcoal stove is burning in the flower hall, the doors and windows are closed, and the air is full of warmth. The three-legged sapphire auspicious animal hollow incense burner on the window sill is curling up with white smoke, and the nose has a faint smell of Sanhe incense, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

If the little girl in front of him didn't have to look at him so tensely, maybe he would be in a better mood.

Sikong Mu Sheng was silent for a moment, looked at Yunran, and then went straight to the point, "I want to ask about that letter."

Yunran: ...

"What... what letter?" Yun Ran asked a little stutteringly, she was really not clear at the time, and she was coming to the door for some nonsense words from the side concubine, right?

Seeing Yun Ran's guilty look, Sikong Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and now his mood suddenly improved, and he said unhurriedly: "What did you want to tell me in that letter, that the prince is ill? , Is it because Xue Dingxue has something wrong in his heart, or..."

"My lord may have misunderstood. At that time, the little girl was really reckless and just talking nonsense. You don't have to take it to heart." Yun Ran vetoed it and interrupted what he said later. If I let him say it, where would I put my face.

Seeing Yun Ran's stern face when he said these words to himself, Sikong Mu Sheng almost laughed angrily.

The mouse is so courageous that it dares to show its teeth and claws.

"That's right? That's a pity. I thought you purposely gave me news about the capital and asked me to be careful. Did it turn out to be a misunderstanding?"

Yun Ran didn't believe Sikong Mu Sheng's words even if he was beaten to death. This guy was very thoughtful, and he must have directly denied it. That's why he sighed so deliberately to make himself regret missing such a favor.

She is not fooled!
She would rather miss this favor than let Sikong Mu Sheng chase after him to ask about that letter.

It was so embarrassing, she vowed never to write anything indiscriminately again.

"Yes, there was a misunderstanding." The corners of Yunran's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a decent and dignified smile.

Just think of it this way, it's the best.

Looking at Yun Ran's small face, Sikong Mu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable again, as if she could get her long-cherished wish.

Sikong Mu Sheng's gaze was too sharp, Yun Ran didn't dare to look at him, for fear of revealing his thoughts, he could only lower his head halfway, thinking secretly, why isn't this guy leaving?
"This king will probably stay in Kyoto for a while when he comes back this time."

Yun Ran wondered what he meant by this?Could it be that he wanted to talk about Mu Yi?

Yun Ran has always been a considerate person, so he immediately followed his words and said: "My lord is loyal to the country, and he should go back to Beijing to have a good rest. In this case, I will pack things for Mu Yi today. He has always missed the prince."

Sikong Mu Sheng suddenly felt very powerless, this kind of chicken-to-duck feeling, he really hasn't encountered it for a long, long time.

Or is it that women's minds are always so weird and unpredictable, when did he mention Mu Yi's matter.

However, he came back, and it was right to take his son back.

"During these days, you have worked hard to take care of Mu Yi, please take care of me." Sikong Mu Sheng still wanted to express his gratitude.

"My lord is so annoying. Mu Yi is well-behaved, sensible, diligent and motivated. He also has Brother Fan here as a companion. It's too late for us to be happy." Yun Ran hurriedly said, in fact, even if they are not a fiancé couple, she would also I am willing to take care of Mu Yi.

She really likes this sensible child.

Sikong Mu Sheng stared at Yun Ran's expression, she really likes Mu Yi.When there was no marriage contract before, she would often make small cooking for Mu Yi and cook delicious food by herself.I don't know where this child got her attention. The liking comes from the bottom of his heart, without a trace of falsehood.

Now that Mu Yi was mentioned, her eyebrows and eyes became a little more real, and even the smile on her face was a little more real, not like the polite politeness she gave to herself at all.

Sikong Mu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly felt jealous of his son.

This kid is much luckier than himself.

"You like Mu Yi very much?" These words suddenly blurted out without thinking, and Sikong Mu Sheng was a little annoyed when he said that, he also committed a stupidity today.

Yun Ran looked at Sikong Mu Sheng in surprise, but she didn't expect him to ask such a question so well, what does he mean?

After thinking about it for a while, maybe there is no one who is a father, and he would hope that others would not like his son.

Especially for someone like her who entered the family to be a stepmother, but Yun Ran is not the stepmother of Sikong Mu Sheng, and Mu Yi is not his son, even if he enters the family tree, he is only a son of the bastard.

The only thing that is criticized is that Yunran had a concubine's eldest son before entering the door.

However, Yun Ran likes Mu Yi first, and has a marriage contract with Sikong Mu Sheng later. Now that he thinks about it, Mu Yi is actually even more pitiful.

In the eyes of others, he is probably that poor child who will not have a good life as a stepmother in the future.

Hey.

The most important thing is that Mu Yi's mother never showed up, so Yun Ran really didn't feel any sense of crisis.

After thinking about it seriously, Yun Ran looked at Sikong Mu Sheng and said, "My lord knows that I like Mu Yi very much from the very beginning, so don't worry, I will continue to take good care of him in the future."

Sikong Mu Sheng was silent for a moment, he didn't actually mean that.

But obviously Yunran misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain it properly, forget it, let her think like this.

Standing up, Sikong Mu Sheng looked at Yun Ran and said, "Then let Mu Yi go back to live today, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

"My lord, go slowly." Yun Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to see off the guests. He was really under a lot of pressure.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Sikong Mu Sheng looked at her just now.

Sikong Mu Sheng strode away, looking at his tall and strong back, Yun Ran stood there, and suddenly remembered the moment when he rescued himself in the East Palace that day.

With Yun Ran's lack of cooperation, Sikong Mu Sheng couldn't pursue the matter of that letter.

After he left, Yunran went back to her boudoir, lying on the big couch, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Who made her unable to hold back for a moment, hey, it was really a big stain in her life.

With Sikong Musheng's words, Yunran called Qiuhe and asked her to pack Mu Yi's things, and said to him, "When the young master comes back, let him come to my place. I have something to say to him." explain."

Qiuhe agreed to go.

When Mu Yi came back from the school, he came to Yunran after he got the news, "Sister Yun, you look for me."

"Come on, sit down." Yun Ran waved to Mu Yi, asked him to sit down opposite her, and said with a smile: "I have something to tell you, your father is back, you should go back to accompany him, I will let him Someone packed your things."

Mu Yi said "oh", he still missed his father very much, but he was also reluctant to leave here, and was a little entangled for a while.

Yunran looked at his small appearance, and said with a smile: "Although you have moved back, you can still live here for a day every now and then, as long as your father agrees, it will be fine, so don't slump your face, lest you change your face. Become a little old man."

Mu Yi's eyes lit up instantly, he looked at Yun Ran and said, "Really? Will Uncle agree?"

Mu Yi was a little apprehensive towards Gu Junhe, it would be fierce to check his homework.

In the past, when I thought he was a guest, I would be a little more polite.Ever since the two families had a marriage contract, the uncle treated them equally.

The baby is bitter but he can't sue, he knows that his uncle is kind.

"I'll tell daddy, don't worry about it. What are you thinking, when you wanted to live in the past, who would drive you out, why are you worried about this now?"

"It seems right."

Yun Ran just smiled, and said to him: "Okay, this matter is settled like this. You go back and review your homework carefully, your father may want to check you."

Mu Yi almost subconsciously stood up and ran out, "It's over, I've been a little weak in my legs and feet recently..."

Mu Yi ran out in a hurry, Yun Ran laughed straight at the sight.

Compared to Gu Fan, Mu Yi is already much better. This kid has both civil and military skills, and he knows how to work hard at such a young age.

That night, Mu Yi appeared at his dinner table.

Sikong Mu Sheng looked at his son raising his eyebrows, and deliberately asked, "Did you get driven back?"

Mu Yi raised his head and said angrily: "No, Sister Yun won't drive me away. Sister Yun said, Dad just came back, and I need someone to accompany me at home, let me come back to fulfill my filial piety."

Sikong Mu Sheng: ...

A brat who deserves a beating.

After all, they are father and son for many years, Mu Yi has a natural admiration and dependence on his father, and he leans on his father to ask questions, completely forgetting to keep his mouth shut.

Sikong Mu Sheng was very patient at the moment, answered his son's questions one by one, and then asked from the side: "What news did you hear in the capital?"

"There's a lot of news from the capital, what does daddy ask about it?" Mu Yi ate his meal and replied, "Gu Fan has been very angry recently, people outside are always saying bad things about Sister Yun. Gu Fan said he would Exam the number one scholar, become a high official, and support my sister in the future."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yi smiled and looked at his own father.

Sikong Mu Sheng suddenly felt dizzy. Does this kid want to see his jokes?
snort!
"Oh, what did you say?" Sikong Mu Sheng said seemingly indifferently. In fact, he has the information collected by Dong Chuanzhang at hand, and he knows about the same. He asked his son like this because he wanted to talk to him for a while.

"Father, you don't know what the people outside said was terrible. Once I looked back, I was so angry that I hid under the bed and cried, and didn't dare to tell Uncle and Sister Yun." Mu Yi frowned as he spoke.

Sikong Mu Sheng looked at his son.

Meeting his father's eyes, Mu Yi was angry, and he stopped eating, and said: "They all said that Sister Yun is not worthy of the position of princess, and they said that father will marry a side concubine and have many concubines in the future. , Said that Sister Yun's family background is low, the position of this princess is not stable, Dad, you think these people are really stupid, how can Dad not like such a good person as Sister Yun, but like those who have never met, don't you think? "

Sikong Mu Sheng met his son's gaze, and for a moment didn't know how to answer this question.

Mu Yi looked into his father's gaze, and felt uneasy for a moment, "Father, you really can't find many stepmothers for me, right?"

Sikong Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, "Why aren't you happy?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Mu Yi said bluntly, "Others married Luo Wang, and only Sister Yun treated me well. When I didn't have a marriage contract with Daddy, Sister Yun treated me much better than Daddy. He is someone who treats me sincerely.”

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Mu Yi became even more anxious, "Don't think I don't know, they all say behind my back that I'm an illegitimate child with unknown background, and that I, the eldest son of a concubine, is an eyesore, and everyone wants me to disappear."

"Nonsense!" Sikong Mu Sheng said angrily, his face became serious, and he looked at his son with a bit of sternness, "You are my son, so you should stand upright and be a man, my son is not a coward, others A few words can lead you by the nose."

Mu Yi was also worried in his heart, he was really afraid that his father would dislike him after marrying a daughter-in-law and having a son.

He knew he shouldn't think like this, but after hearing those words, he still couldn't help it.

Seeing that Mu Yi's eyes were red, Sikong and Mu Sheng sighed, feeling a little irritable in his heart, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to touch his head, "Don't worry, Dad won't leave you alone."

"I know." Mu Yi's nose was sour, "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there will be too many people around my father, they won't be able to tolerate me, I have no mother, no one will support me. Only Sister Yun treats me well , they also..."

"Worry." Sikong Mu Sheng laughed angrily, "Is your father the one who is led by the nose by women?"

"It's not that there is a saying that a hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. My father is a great hero. Who knows if you can pass the beauty pass." Mu Yi muttered.

Sikong Mu Sheng suddenly felt a headache, "I think I have to establish rules for you, so I dare to say such a thing, because I spoiled you at the border. I will ask Mr. Dong to give you a supplementary etiquette lesson tomorrow."

"I don't want it, I want to sue Sister Yun, saying that you abused me. Mr. Dong's class is killing people, I would rather learn from Uncle Gu."

How dare you pick and choose, you bastard, I have skinned you!
The two fathers tossed and tossed for a long time at night, Mu Yi was exhausted by his father's pursuit, and fell asleep as soon as he went to bed.

Sikong Mu Sheng sat by the bed and looked at Mu Yi, without moving for a long time.

He didn't expect that Mu Yi treated the little girl so close and trusted him. The words he said in front of him were not simply a complaint. This kid had something in his mind.

He wanted to tell himself that many people are thinking about his side concubine now.

It was to tell him that Yunran's background was low, and Gu Junhe's official position was low. If the concubine's background was too high, it would not be good for her.

This is a statement of his determination, he only recognizes Yunran.

So, thinking of that letter again, Sikong Mu Sheng reckoned that there must be something in the capital that he didn't know about, otherwise why would he be looking at the position of his side concubine?

Dong Chuanzhang and others were called over overnight, and the lights in the study didn't go out until dawn.

With Sikong Mu Sheng returning to the capital, such a large military reward is indispensable, but the official position is already unsealable, so he can only make up for it from other places.

For example, the emperor rewarded King Luo with a large garden, which was right next to the imperial city. Although the scale was not large, it would be enviable to have a garden in such a place.

When Sikong Mu Sheng came out of the palace, he met the prince who was sitting in a soft sedan chair on the way.

Meet on a narrow road.

Sikong Mu Sheng's strong and tall body caught the prince's eyes particularly dazzling.

"Wei Chen has seen His Highness the Crown Prince." Sikong Mu Sheng said indifferently after paying a salute.

The prince leaned on the soft pillow, looking at King Luo with a pair of gloomy eyes, "I haven't congratulated King Luo for his victory yet, you are worthy of being the God of War."

"His Royal Highness the crown prince praises, but the humble minister dare not be."

"Lord Luo is too humble."

"I heard that His Highness is not in good health. It's better not to come out in the cold weather. In the severe cold, it will be bad if you hurt your body. I still have military affairs in my body, so let's go first." Sikong Mu Sheng didn't have the time to follow The crown prince bickered, cupped his hands slightly and strode away.

The hostility on the prince's face could be turned into substance, looking at Sikong Mu Sheng's back, his angry face became even darker.

It's simply invisible!

"What a King Luo, I want to see how long you can be rampant." The prince snorted coldly, and then sent people back to the East Palace.

On the way back, Sikong Mu Sheng frowned slightly, not to say that the prince's body was weak, but he didn't look very weak when he came out suddenly in this cold weather.

It seems that Tai Hospital treated him well, he sneered in his heart, Sikong Mu Sheng didn't take it seriously, and walked out of the palace quickly.

"My lord." Dong Chuanzhang immediately went up to welcome King Luo when he came out, and said in a low voice, "The crown prince has made a move, and a few people went in."

Sikong Musheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Dong Chuanzhang, "When did it happen?"

"This morning."

It's no wonder that when I met myself by chance, I came to show off my might.

"What's the matter?"

"It's because of the disadvantages of food delivery when Sikong Muqi went to the expedition, but there is still room for improvement in this matter, it's just a bit embarrassing." Dong Chuanzhang said in a low voice.

"Let's talk when we get back." Sikong Mu Sheng got on his horse, whipped his whip, and galloped away, attracting everyone's attention.

Only Luo Wang has this qualification, and can ride a horse on the royal road.

Sikong Mu Sheng expected the crown prince to attack, but he didn't expect that when he made the move, he was thinking of making a comeback for Sikong Muqi.

So, do the emperor and the prince want to draw out Sikong Muqi to fight him again?
Things in the court have always been a double-edged sword.

Sikong Mu Sheng came back with a big victory, the emperor feared him even more, and naturally wanted to suppress him in other ways.The courtiers were a little surprised to find out what happened to Sikong Muqi in this way, and the court debated endlessly about this matter, and spit flew all over the place for several days in a row.

Even if Yunran is a boudoir, she has some news.

The first person who came to send her news was Jiao Baohui. Now that Jiao Baohui was about to get married, and he went out to see her at this time, it could be seen that things were serious.

"I heard from my father that the emperor will severely punish those people, which is really chilling." Jiao Baohui said with a sigh, "It's better for you not to go out these days, it's a mess outside."

Yunran knew that her cousin was afraid that she would go out and listen to other people's gossip, making herself feel bored and angry.

"Cousin, don't worry, I know what to do, and nothing will happen." Yun Ran didn't intend to exchange feelings with strangers, let alone Qinghui County Lord and Pang Shuyi.

Because the crown prince was seriously ill last time, neither the East Palace nor the Queen could force Jiao's daughter to be sent to the East Palace.Taking advantage of the queen's hesitation, the uncle and aunt immediately betrothed their cousin, the son of the Liang family.

On the contrary, Guo Yunqiao successfully entered the East Palace, and finally got his wish just like his previous life.

Jiao Baohui looked at Yun Ran, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Have you heard that the empress is going to point Lord Luo to two side concubines to enter the mansion."
