The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 773 Crazy Thoughts

After Ling Muhua vomited a mouthful of blood, not only did he not feel any better, but he became more and more uncomfortable. He also knew that he was in a hurry, and what happened today was a big blow to him. He didn't want to show his flaws in front of the eldest prince, so He endured it all the time, and finally couldn't help it until now. He felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and the anger in his heart was burning, almost burning him to ashes!
At this time, Ling Muhua regretted that he didn't bring anyone with him when he went out. It was because he was too confident in himself and despised the eldest prince. In any case, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing when he came here today.

Mother's ashes... and being forced to agree to monitor Mu Wang's mansion... Luo family, really want to be so heartless!They never regarded themselves as the Luo family, never!

"Ahem..." Ling Muhua coughed fiercely, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot again. He panted heavily and leaned against the wall to close his eyes, trying to calm down the restless emotions in his heart. Fainted here, he would never expose himself so weakly in front of the eldest prince, if he saw it, he would be even more confident.

I don't know how long it took before he leaned on the wall with a pale face and walked slowly forward. As long as he reached the street outside, he could have someone lift a sedan chair to carry him back to his residence...

"Huh? Brother Ling? Brother Ling, is that you?"

Just when Ling Muhua finally walked out of the alley and came to Chengxi Street, a familiar and somewhat hesitant voice came from behind, making his back stiff, and he was still thinking about whether to avoid it or not. The people behind had already stepped up and walked directly in front of him.

"Ah, Brother Ling, it's really you! What's wrong with you? Are you sick? I think you look very pale!"

Ling Muhua closed his eyes, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Why are you here?"

The person standing in front of him was actually Xu Morou!
He was surprised, why did he see her every time he came to the west of the city?It was like this when I met the Luo family last time, and it is like this again now, and this time I am a hundred times worse than last time!She is Xiaoxi's friend, at this time he really doesn't want to see anyone or anything related to Xiaoxi, because it will make him feel even more uncomfortable!

Xu Morou looked at him worriedly and said: "I, I came to see my cousin, my cousin is sick, my mother asked me to come and have a look...Brother Ling, you, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well? I'll take you to see a doctor! Your face is ugly..."

It was the first time she had seen Brother Ling with such an ugly face, and he looked really bad. The aura emanating from his body made her a little frightened. She wondered if it was her own illusion. She had never felt it on Brother Ling before. So, such a dark and decadent atmosphere, and it seems that there is a faint sense of despair.Brother Ling, did something happen?If not, why did it suddenly change so much?

"No need, I'm fine, I'm fine, just do what you have to do, and ignore me. And this is on the street, you should avoid suspicion and stay away from me!" Ling Muhua refused with his head down.

Xu Morou frowned: "Brother Ling, why do you say that? You are Xiaoxi's friend, that is, my friend. How can I ignore you when I see you like this? If Xiaoxi finds out, she will blame me too. of!"

The last thing Ling Muhua wants to hear at this time is the name Mu Jinxi, but Xu Morou keeps saying that the more she talks, the more pain and hatred he feels in his heart, and the more it reminds him of the name he didn't know not long ago. The more you have promised the First Prince something, the more you remind him, what have you done!
I remember that when she was at the racecourse not long ago, she said firmly that she would not betray her friend, but now, not only does he want to betray her friend, but this person is also their mutual friend, Xiaoxi!He wants to monitor the Mu Palace for the eldest prince, and even frame the two of them when necessary!If she knew what she had promised the eldest prince, would she still stand here caring about and worrying about herself?Will you still say that you are a good person?
Hehehe, I'm afraid she will feel sick when she sees him, so she wants to take a detour?That being the case, why bother to be hypocritical now?

Ling Muhua pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, because he was worried that if he spoke up, he would not be able to help revealing his current furious emotions.

"Brother Ling? What's the matter with you? Or, or..." Xu Morou bit her lips, and hurt flashed in her eyes, "Or do you think I'm an eyesore and don't want to talk to me? If so, I, I'll inform Xiao How is Xi? Xiaoxi seems to be leaving the house today to go to Hengfuxuan. Hengfuxuan is not very far from here. If Xiaoxi knows that you are not feeling well, she will definitely come over to see you. You—”

"I said no!" Ling Muhua finally interrupted Xu Morou's words in a rage that couldn't bear it, causing Xu Morou's face to turn pale in fright.

"Ling... Ling, Brother Ling..."

Brutally interrupting Xu Morou's words, Ling Muhua heard the surprise and hurt that could not be concealed in her tone, and suddenly closed his eyes, feeling that there was no need for him to take his anger out on her, she was so innocent, she just saw herself and wanted to Just care about yourself.

Ling Muhua couldn't help but feel a little guilty, raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Morou and said, "I - you go, I'm really fine, I have something to do later, I'll go home by myself, you - "

But when Ling Muhua raised his head, Xu Morou saw the bloodshot corners of his mouth that hadn't been wiped clean or coagulated, and her expression changed drastically: "Brother Ling! Are you injured? Otherwise, why would there be blood at the corners of your mouth? God, let's go see a doctor! Your complexion is really bad!"

Ling Muhua immediately had an even worse headache, but he still held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really fine! If I'm not feeling well, I'll go to the doctor myself, don't worry about it! You're a girl, and you treat me like a foreigner. Concern, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood? Or do you want others to misunderstand?" There was no other way, Ling Muhua had no choice but to speak more seriously, hoping that she could leave quickly.

It's just that he obviously doesn't know Xu Morou well enough. Although Xu Morou looks soft and gentle on the surface, she still has the tenacity and strength of the Xu family in her bones.If he said that usually, Xu Morou might shrink back, but now that she saw that he was injured, she was full of worries about him, how could she be hit by him with just one or two words?
So she was not affected by his words at all, instead she became stronger and said, "Brother Ling, stop talking, I won't leave. You wait here, I will let my carriage come over, and I will take you there See the doctor! If you dare to leave before I come back, I will report to Xiaoxi immediately! You better believe that I will do this!"

Before Ling Muhua could speak, Xu Morou turned around and hurried to the other side. Her carriage was parked on the other side. Originally, she wanted to come to buy some small things, but she didn't expect to meet Brother Ling. He was also injured!Now she suddenly felt a little glad that she came here instead of going back as soon as she left her cousin's house, otherwise she would not have met Brother Ling, and would not have known that he was injured.

Seeing him like this, it seems that he doesn't intend to see a doctor. If he is really injured, but he doesn't go to see a doctor, what can he do?If the injury becomes more and more serious, won't it make him fall ill in the end?Why is Brother Ling so willful?

Ling Muhua, on the other hand, stood there stunned, unable to believe that the person who spoke loudly to him just now was Xu Morou, the cowardly Xu Morou who didn't even have the courage to look him in the eyes when talking to him... She ate a bear How dare you talk to him like this?Do you think he is injured and can't do anything to her?If she really thought so, then she was very wrong!
He can still... yes... Ling Muhua closed his eyes in frustration, he really has nothing to do with her now.

Ling Muhua was still thinking about whether he should leave first, but before he could think about the result, Xu Morou came back in a hurry. She walked quickly in front, followed by her own carriage.

"Brother Ling, get in the carriage quickly, let's see a doctor, and then I'll take you back home to rest! Since you are injured, you should take good care of your injuries, and you can't be careless just because you are usually in good health. It all started from childhood illness!" Xu Morou taught Ling Muhua a serious face.

Ling Muhua felt that today's day was not good and it was not conducive to traveling, so he was hit one after another, he had no energy to struggle anymore, so he didn't say anything but obediently got up with the support of the coachman After getting into the carriage, Xu Morou hesitated for a while and then got into the carriage too. Fortunately, she brought her maid with her when she went out today, so that she didn't have to worry about whether men and women could kiss or not.

"Go to the nearest clinic." Xu Morou instructed the driver.

Ling Muhua was silent for a while before he said: "Actually, there is really no need to go to the clinic, you just send me back."

He himself knows whether there is a problem or not. He just vomited blood because he was so angry for a while. When he figured it out, nothing will happen, and now he really needs to be alone to calm down.

But Xu Morou shook her head resolutely and did not listen to him.

When we got to the medical hall, Ling Muhua felt that it was useless to say anything at this time, since he came, let's watch it, she will be relieved after watching it, and she can leave by herself.So he cooperated very well and let the doctor feel the pulse.

In the end, the doctor also did what he thought, saying that he was just agitated and out of breath, so he vomited blood. He prescribed some blood stasis medicine and went back to fry it and drink it. After a good night's rest, he would be fine.

Xu Morou frowned while listening to it.

When sending Ling Muhua back to the mansion, Xu Morou said: "Brother Ling, although I don't know why you are in such a hurry, there are no difficulties you can't overcome. You should calm down and think about it. Wisdom, you will definitely think of a solution, don't be led by your own emotions. This will only be counterproductive."

Ling Muhua was silent and didn't speak, until he returned to his house, he still didn't recover from what happened today, he sat by the window of the study and stared at a certain point in front of him for a long time without any reaction.

Xu Morou was very worried about Ling Muhua. After two days of hesitation, she couldn't help but tell her the matter when she saw Mu Jinxi. Although it was Brother Ling's own business, she felt that something was really wrong with Brother Ling that day. , something important must have happened, that's why he acted like that.Brother Ling has nothing to do with the Luo family, and his mother is no longer alive. Apart from Xiaoxi, no one cares about him...Although I am also worried about Brother Ling, compared to Xiaoxi, Brother Ling should Can you accept Xiaoxi's concern more?
Mu Jinxi was very surprised when she heard Xu Morou's words, "The doctor really said that Brother Mu vomited blood because of his urgency?"

Xu Morou nodded vigorously: "Well, I was right there at the time, and I heard it with my own ears, and when I saw Brother Ling, his face and breath were very strange, so I think it must be What happened, after thinking about it, I decided to tell you, you pay more attention, maybe you know what to do."

Mu Jinxi frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

She is very clear about Brother Mu's people, and it can make him so anxious that he would vomit blood, which means that something important must have happened to him at that time, important enough to deeply affect his mood and even his mind, she really dare not I believe that there is nothing else in this world that can make Brother Mu so tempted.West of the city, what secrets are there in the west of the city?Did Brother Mu go to the west of the city to meet someone or do something?

It must have met someone, and then heard something, so I was greatly stimulated?But the question is who can have such a serious influence on Brother Mu?
"Xiaoxi, you, you won't act like you don't know?" Xu Morou asked worriedly.

Mu Jinxi couldn't help being a little funny, she looked sideways at Xu Morou and asked, "Mo'er, are you really so worried about Brother Mu?"

Xu Morou's face froze slightly, and she tried her best to pretend that nothing happened and said calmly: "I'm worried about Big Brother Ling, isn't it a right thing to do? We are friends, and I called him Big Brother Ling again. I saw him so weird and abnormal. , I must be worried!"

Mu Jinxi stared at Xu Morou with eyes that seemed to see through everything, forcing her to dodge almost unbearably. Fortunately, she persisted in the end, and she was only quietly relieved when she looked away.

Mu Jinxi thought for a while before saying: "After all, this is Brother Mu's own private matter. If Brother Mu doesn't say anything, I can't follow up and ask. Everyone has their own secrets and privacy, and I believe that Brother Mu can do it himself." It's been dealt with. I can only help him when he needs help, and I can't say anything else."

Xu Morou was a little disappointed, but she also understood that what she said was reasonable.If Brother Ling didn't want to tell others what happened to him that day, it would only embarrass him if others asked after him. This was not her intention.It's just that she is a little worried, what is she worried about, and she can't tell the specifics, it's really contradictory!
"Okay, don't worry, I promise you, I will try to ask him when I meet him." Seeing that Xu Morou was still worried, Mu Jinxi said softly.

After receiving her words, Xu Morou showed a little smile.

Seeing Xu Morou's smile, Mu Jinxi sighed softly in her heart.

It seems that Mo'er is still stuck... It's just that she doesn't seem to have feelings for Mo'er in this regard, Mo'er is asking for trouble like this?If she stumbled over her feelings for Brother Mu, would she still be able to get out?If she gets married in the future, can she still live with her husband without distractions?If she gets married in the future and cannot fall in love with her husband, then her married life will not be much better. If others suffer, she will suffer too, and this life will be like this.

well!It's just that she wants to persuade and doesn't know how to persuade, after all, she has never said what she thinks about Brother Mu, so distressed!

After returning to the mansion, Mu Jinxi thought about it and asked Juelin to send the hidden guards to investigate, but it turned out that something was found, but the result made her worried.

Did brother Mu go to meet the eldest prince that day?Then what did the First Prince say to Brother Mu that made Brother Mu so anxious?The hidden guards could only find out this, but they didn't know what they talked about that day.Does she want to ask Brother Mu?

Mu Jinxi hesitated.

Regarding what the eldest prince did, the queen did not agree at first, because she also felt a little shameful. After all, that person has been dead for so many years, and his body has melted. Now she has to dig up her grave and take her bones Take it out, not to mention, burn the bones to ashes!Generally speaking, this is a shameful thing that can only be done with a lot of hatred!

But they, in fact, they don't have much hatred, and they are still a family, but now they want to do such a thing, she thinks it's not good, it's not good for others, and it's even worse for herself.The queen is not really that conscientious, she is just worried that her son has done such a thing, if there is any retribution in the future, what if the retribution falls on him?
Digging people's graves is a very shameful thing, no one would do it as a last resort, even if the emperor didn't do it himself, it would be the same!She doesn't think it's really worth taking such a risk for Ling Muhua, and she also believes that there should be other better ways besides this way.

However, the eldest prince would not listen to her. Normally, the eldest prince would have hesitated, but that day in the Xiao Mansion, he was really stimulated a bit. He felt that if this dragged on, whether he could subdue Ling Muhua, he would not say anything. It is possible that Jue Lin will secretly develop his own power again, and who will he regret when the time comes?
It's all going to be done anyway, so why have so many scruples?Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, let alone he is a prince, with dragon energy to protect him, he is afraid of other people's wronged souls?If that bitch really dares to come back to him, he will have someone take her in, and make her never be reborn forever!
At this moment in Yongle Palace, the eldest prince and the empress are sitting opposite each other. The eldest prince's face shows a rare sense of ease and complacency. After sweeping away the decadence before, the smile on the corner of his mouth has never been put away. It can be seen that he is in a very good mood. not bad.

Seeing him like this, the queen couldn't help but smile, "What's the happy event for the emperor, the queen mother hasn't seen you so happy for a long time."

The eldest prince still didn't want to hide anything in front of the queen, because he knew that his mother was wholeheartedly for him, and he still needed his mother in many places. They were two mothers and sons, so naturally they should be of one mind.

"Queen, I've successfully captured Ling Muhua!"

The queen was startled, and then quickly thought of the matter he had mentioned to herself before, she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, you really did that, didn't you?"

The eldest prince nodded calmly and said: "Of course I did, otherwise how can I handle Ling Muhua? This person is tougher than we imagined, if not, there is no way to make him succumb!"

The empress frowned, "The empress understands your intentions, but it's just that not long after Qing'er gave birth to your child, you went to dig someone's grave. The empress is worried..."

"Mother!" The smile on the eldest prince's face disappeared, and he said quite disapprovingly: "Mother, nothing will happen, let's not say that I didn't dig the tomb, and I also had someone add a spell seal, what else can happen?" That person is not a great person. She dug her grave and dug it. It’s no big deal. At most, she will ask people to recite more sutras in the future. Besides, how dare she, a foreigner, dare to be ashamed of us? What does the royal family do? It’s useless when you’re a human being, what kind of waves can you make if you’re a ghost?”

The queen was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, she felt the same way. No matter what, they were all members of the royal family, and they were protected by the emperor's aura. How could those monsters harm them?At most, let Qing'er go to the monastery and ask the master to draw a talisman for the child to hide next to her body.

After all, the queen is a woman, so it doesn't mean that she hasn't done bad things all her life. There can be no good people in the harem. She also has a lot of lives in her hands. It's just digging people's graves and burning people's bones. It's still a bit scary Yes, she is also worried.It's just that since Huang'er has done it, it's useless to say more, it's better to accept it calmly, just like what Huang'er said, at most it will be to ask someone to do it in the future.

only……

"Prince, can you make sure that you can hold Ling Muhua and not let him rebel halfway?" This is what the queen is most worried about.Using his mother's ashes to threaten him is good enough to hold him for a while, but after a long time, I'm afraid it won't work, right?Who can bear the treatment of their most cherished relatives?Ling Muhua himself is a rebellious person, can he swallow this big loss?

"My queen, I don't plan to use such a person forever. As long as I use him to achieve my goal, he will naturally have no value or need to exist, and I will just get rid of him when the time comes." The eldest prince said lightly.

The queen frowned: "If you get rid of him, will it be... After all, he is from the Luo family. If there is a quarrel, it will be bad for your reputation."

Others don't know, doesn't she know?Her good cousin has always been thinking about that woman in his heart. After all, the two of them had a really sweet time. Brother still has a certain place in my heart.If that person hadn't died, it might have faded away after a long time, but the person died.

No matter how much dissatisfaction and suspicion there is in my heart, it will fade away after a long time. On the contrary, my feelings for that woman have become clearer and deeper.When that good cousin entered the palace, she often complained to her that her cousin had no conscience.A fool with long hair and short knowledge, if she hadn't been jealous at the beginning, how could things have turned into what they are today, causing her emperor to dig people's graves and burn people's bones to achieve his goals.

If that woman and her child had stayed in the Luo family back then, wouldn't it be completely up to them?Can Ling Muhua help them?

Every time the queen thinks about this incident, she always has a feeling of regret. She always feels that she made a wrong move back then, so that her subsequent moves have deviated from the track position she should be on.

And she seemed to have a bad premonition in her heart. It seemed that the emperor had done something wrong to dig someone's grave, and she was afraid that it would bring unpredictable consequences in the future.

The queen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words came out like this: "Emperor, in fact, if you only like Ling Muhua's ability to make money, you don't have to rely on him, why do you..."

Although she also fell in love with Ling Muhua's money-making ability at the beginning, but after testing him many times, he always looked like that, which made her almost murderous. After she calmed down, she finally returned to her senses. Saying that he is from the Luo family, they can't kill them all. If it was before, they would not be afraid, but now everyone in the capital knows that he has a close relationship with Mu Jinxi, and he has a lot closer relationship with Prince Mu's mansion.If he died at this time, it would definitely arouse others' suspicion. If the grievances between him and the Luo family were found out, the Luo family would be the first object of suspicion!
Speaking of this, the eldest prince became a little proud, "Mother, the reason why I insist on Ling Muhua is not only because of his ability to make money, but also because of his interpersonal relationship. The relationship between him and Mu Jinxi!"

The queen was taken aback, and quickly figured it out, "You mean to use him to deal with Jue Lin and the Mu Palace?"

"Mother, we can't sit still! Look at Father's attitude towards Jue Lin. Ever since Mu Jinxi gave birth to a child, Father has been..."

Every time when talking about the emperor's attitude towards Jue Lin, the Eldest Prince always feels like a block of lead is stuck in his heart. Jue Lin has become a thorn in his heart, which gets deeper and deeper. He feels that if the thorn is not pulled out, If he falls, he will be implicated to death by this thorn sooner or later!So he must pull out this thorn at any cost!
Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards Mu Jinxi's two children, the degree of love and favor was far inferior to that of the princes when they were young. They loved and valued even more than their own sons!She was also very aggrieved and dissatisfied, but what could she do?She is a queen, not only can't show anything, but she has to follow the emperor and pretend to be like a Bodhisattva!
But the queen has been with the emperor for so many years, and it's not for nothing. She knows the emperor more or less. The emperor must have nothing to say, otherwise, the last unlucky people must be their mother and son!

But is Juelin really so easily tripped?Jue Lin himself is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, he will be calculated so easily?The queen was suspicious.

But she also knew her son's inner demons, and now everything she said was false, even she began to worry, worried that the emperor really had high hopes for Jue Lin, and even wanted him to inherit that position in the future.Because more than once she heard the emperor secretly lament that several princes are worthless, if there is a son like Jue Lin, even if there is only half of him, he will be satisfied.

Listen, what are these words? This proves that the emperor really had such thoughts in his heart!She was starting to worry, how could Huang'er not be worried?The two of them, mother and son, are on the same boat, and only by working together can their future be guaranteed!

"Prince, the queen mother still says the same thing, you have to think twice before you do anything, and remember not to act too hastily, understand? Jue Lin is not so easy to deal with, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen out of favor for so many years." The queen said seriously.

"Queen, don't worry, I won't do anything without complete assurance. I will think through all the steps and arrange everything! There will be no mistakes!"

The queen let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. If you have anything to do, go into the palace and tell the queen mother. The queen mother may not be able to help you with the previous affairs, but for other things, the queen mother believes that she can still help you a little. And deal with Jue You can't tell what Lin said, you can only... secretly."

If it was clear, the emperor might notice them before they started to move. If the emperor noticed it, they would not be able to protect themselves, let alone what they wanted to do.

The eldest prince frowned, and then let go. Obviously, he and the queen had thought of something together. If they knew it, they would definitely not be able to do it. With the emperor around, it was impossible for them to touch Jue Lin.If the father is old, it's okay for him to be in power, but now the father is in his prime, and the power of the entire court is firmly in his hands, what can he do as a prince?

"Queen, don't worry, I understand, I won't act recklessly." Without proper preparation, he would not act easily.

At this time, the eldest prince suddenly felt a little resentful. Why is his father in his prime?Father is still so young, only in his 40s, and father has always been healthy and rarely gets sick. When father gets old and is about to abdicate, when will he wait?Father is 60 years old? 70 years old?Still 80 years old?He still has to wait for decades!Decades, who knows if he has that fate?Maybe he will leave earlier than the father!In this way, even if he becomes the prince, what's the use of it!

An extremely bold and crazy idea suddenly appeared in the eldest prince's heart. This idea made his heart beat violently and hit his chest heavily. He was afraid of this idea, but at the same time And he felt extremely excited, and felt that all the blood in his body rushed to his head at once, which made him a little dizzy.

But soon the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen by someone, and the passionate fantasies in his mind were cut off in an instant, cut off incomparably crisply, and disappeared incomparably cleanly, as if he had nothing at all just now thought about it.

After a moment of ups and downs, the Eldest Prince's complexion became a little ugly, which made the Empress very surprised, and asked with concern: "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment and soon came back to his senses. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I thought of something just now, and I just felt a little worried. I'll just go back and deal with it."

Hearing what he said, the queen looked at him for a while before she felt relieved, and said, "It's fine if you're fine, if you're tired, go back and rest first!"

After a pause, she said as if thinking of something: "By the way, let Qing'er find a time to bring the child into the palace for me to have a look after you return home. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."

The eldest prince nodded and said: "Well, I see. After I go back, I will tell Qing'er to let her bring more children into the palace, so that father and emperor can see each other more and cultivate their relationship."

Speaking of this, the first prince suddenly became a little dissatisfied with his princess. He used to think that Qing'er was cute, sensible and caring, and a good princess, but now he finds that she is really ignorant. It was fine before, but now she has given birth Now that she has a daughter, she should bring more into the palace to cultivate feelings with her father, queen, and queen, so that she can use her daughter to win his father's love, right?
She didn't give birth to a son for him, but gave birth to a grandson for the emperor, but now she still doesn't know how to use this daughter to compete for favor, really, really stupid!
No, after returning to the mansion, he must talk about Qing'er well. She has to be more conspicuous, and should learn from Mu Jinxi. If it wasn't her son, would the emperor like her so much?Will he rely more on Juelin?

She should learn from Mu Jinxi's practice and use her children to compete for favor. This is the most effective way to win the favor of her father!It would be great if Qinger gave birth to a son.

It seems that it is time for him to start accepting concubines, so that he can give birth to his eldest son as soon as possible, no matter whether it is a concubine or a concubine, as long as the eldest son is valuable and meaningful!
