Splendid concubine

Chapter 199 Returning to Beijing
Regardless, in the middle of the night, Mu Zitan woke up in a cold sweat, got dressed and got out of bed, trying to find Liu Ruyi.

Mu Zitan willfully called the maids who had protected her before, and brought along the bodyguards newly assigned to her by the emperor, and set off to the place where Liu Ruyi fell off the cliff, trying to find Liu Ruyi.

Seeing Mu Zitan's figure appearing on the edge of the cliff, Liu Ruyi was in high spirits, as if in a dream.

"Have you found any clues yet?" Mu Zitan frowned, looking at the leading guard.

The guards did nothing at all, so naturally they couldn't find any clues, but the leader of the guards naturally couldn't tell the truth.

He lowered his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Mu Zitan, and replied firmly: "Yes, princess."

Mu Zitan sighed, turned around and looked down the cliff.

Liu Ruyi visually checked where she was now.

Being able to see Mu Zitan clearly is all due to his own eyesight.

There is a cliff between the two of them.

Looking at the bare cliffs, there is no vegetation, and even climbing has become a problem.

How can I make Mu Zitan notice her?

Liu Ruyi lowered her head and thought for a while.

Can only use the most stupid way.

Seeing Mu Zitan, Liu Ruyi was so excited that she almost cried.

It took a lot of patience to bear it.

As a result, when Mu Zitan rushed forward and shouted "Ruyi, how did you become like this", she couldn't bear it anymore. No one had loved her so much in two lifetimes, and she suddenly seemed like someone with an elder who could Like a spoiled little girl, she burst into tears with a "wow".

Yanyan disappeared again, but it was normal.

After all, Yanyan was her trump card, and these people were not worthy of trust.

It was safe on the way back. After simply washing up and eating, Liu Ruyi fell asleep in Mu Zitan's carriage.

In a dark and sweet dreamland, I vaguely heard Mu Zitan lowered his voice and ordered viciously to take the people from the village to torture him, and then silence him.

With a tacit understanding, Liu Ruyi didn't ask Mu Zitan what happened to that village.

Presumably, the grown-up Mu Zitan would not be too merciful, but it was the first time he did such a cruel thing, after all, he was still afraid that people would know and have opinions on her.

Liu Ruyi didn't want to speak.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the capital.

After taking a closer look, Liu Ruyi realized that this was one of their shops.

Very good, now we are not sure who will be involved, it is considered the safest place in the shop.

Because it is the pavement of Mu Zitan, the emperor and Concubine Lin are not at ease, and there are many people protecting each place.Although the emperor and Concubine Lin didn't come to save her, Liu Ruyi believed that at least they couldn't harm her, and that was enough.

Rubbing her eyes, Liu Ruyi felt it carefully, and Yanyan was indeed nearby, and smiled slightly, Liu Ruyi saw that her clothes had been thoughtfully changed, as if she had taken a bath?
She was a little embarrassed, but Liu Ruyi calmed down because she had never been served by someone to take a bath and change clothes.

Finding the soft satin shoes, Liu Ruyi stretched her waist. Now that she has rested, it is time to settle the previous grudges in the capital.

No matter who is behind the scenes, Liu Jiaren can't escape.

After touching Liu Jiaren, the old lady can't let it go, and whether she can get along with the Liu family depends on Liu Ren'an's attitude.

If Liu Ren'an is also planning to use her, then it doesn't matter if Liu's family doesn't come back.

Because they are close blood relatives, they can't directly attack the Liu family, but Liu Ruyi doesn't think it's a problem at all to sever the relationship.

In Liu's house, she thought she would get warmth, but unfortunately, she didn't.

Leaving the Liu family and surrendering to the emperor requires money as a backing.

As far as she knew, the emperor's treasury was empty, if she could show great value and generate income for the treasury, then the emperor had no choice but to keep her.

It won't be like now, she only exists as a "princess friend" and "princess protector", so she can be easily replaced and abandoned, and her status is very embarrassing.

Self-deprecating smile.

Just as Liu Ruyi was about to open the door and go out, she heard someone shouting loudly from the downstairs of the shop: "I am the emperor's new Marquis of Hui'an, tell your boss to come out."

Someone came to make trouble.

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly.

She didn't know about her previous titles.

But a while ago, when the so-called fine work in southern Xinjiang was arrested, it seemed that the emperor abolished many old nobles and added new ones.Seeing that the momentum was not good, the old nobles were afraid of harming Chi Yu, so they shrank their necks honestly.

The old aristocrats who have survived for so many years must not be stupid.

Now the new marquis who can be named in the capital include the champion, the Hui'an, and the victory.

This Marquis of Hui'an happened to be a wealthy businessman from his ancestors, and because he filled a large sum of money into the treasury, he was granted the title of Marquis of Hui'an.

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, and said to herself: "I was going to take you to be replaced, but I didn't expect you to come here so soon."

"Come here." Liu Ruyi called out loudly.

Immediately, a maid with a wooden face came in, who looked like a court lady, squatted silently and saluted.

"Get dressed and freshen up for me. Is the princess here? If the princess is here, invite the princess over." Liu Ruyi ordered.

The servant girl saluted again and went out.

Liu Ruyi sat down in front of the mirror.

The appearance of Liu Ruyi reflected in the bronze mirror is exactly the same age as a flower. After sleeping well and grooming, she looks even younger.

But the vicissitudes revealed in his eyes did not look like those of a person of this age.

"Ruyi, you have died once, how can you be so naive? The former Ruyi is dead, and now you are the princess of Anping." Liu Ruyi murmured while stroking the figure in the bronze mirror.

Since her rebirth, everything has been going smoothly. The emperor wanted her backing, and it was easy for her to overthrow the Zhao family. She really let her take it lightly. Stick, wake her up.

Now that she is awake, she naturally wants to plan for her own survival.

"Ruyi, are you awake?" Mu Zitan's voice was the same as before, as coquettish as before.

However, Liu Ruyi knew that this little girl had changed a lot, she was no longer that innocent little girl.

Everyone has grown up.

"It's thanks to you, Zitan. If you don't go, I will be in dire straits. It's almost impossible to escape from that ghostly place." Liu Ruyi turned around and squatted down, sincerely apologizing.

Because she and Mu Zitan met before Mu Zitan became a princess, Liu Ruyi never saluted.It seems like everyone is used to it.

Mu Zitan was taken aback, and hurried over to help Liu Ruyi.

"Because we are good sisters, we have never saluted you before, but this time is different. I sincerely thank you for saving me once." Liu Ruyi said seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have saved me several times before, and I have never thanked you with a big gift."

Mu Zitan blushed a little, "I'm going to be angry if you do this."

Liu Ruyi was supported by Mu Zitan to stand up, and couldn't help holding Mu Zitan's hand. Mu Zitan patted Liu Ruyi's hand like an old lady, "Ruyi girl, I still have you to accompany me in the future, so That’s not right.”

Mu Zitan deliberately made a joke and made Liu Ruyi laugh.

Fortunately, at least Mu Zitan has not changed.

The maid came forward to wash and dress Liu Ruyi.

"You don't know, you disappeared, Xiangyi was crying like something, and I couldn't coax her well. Later, I disliked her and asked her to wait at home. I went to find her myself." Mu Zitan said lightly, It seemed to be joking with Xiangyi, but Liu Ruyi naturally knew the pressure she was under.

Liu Ruyi briefly talked about what happened in the mountain village.

After finishing speaking, Mu Zitan stood up angrily, raising his arms as if he was about to beat him down immediately, "They dare, they want to kill you casually, and even want to marry you, it's a good idea, the toad wants to eat swan meat, I will kill you!" them……"

Seeing Liu Ruyi smiling at her in the mirror, she sat down awkwardly, "Hey."

Liu Ruyi pretended not to know, and ordered the maid, "Give me a multi-treasure bun."

This is a newly popular hair bun in the capital, and it is only done by those who are in charge.

"Ruyi, the multi-treasure bun seems a bit old, and it feels too serious." Mu Zitan leaned over.

"Did you just hear that the Marquis of Hui'an downstairs is making trouble?" Liu Ruyi answered the wrong question.

"I heard that, I showed my face, sent someone to comfort him first, told him to wait, let someone tell him that this is the princess's shop, and waited for the people around the father to be moved from the palace. .”

Mu Zitan's face was full of disgust, "That Marquis of Hui'an is so disgusting, staring at me with greasy eyes, I'm going to throw up."

"How many people in the capital don't know that this shop belongs to you? I think he has recently become a Marquis. He doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. He even wants toads and swan meat. He came here to see you, but your father is now I have to rely on his family's money to supplement the national treasury, so naturally I have to be patient." Liu Ruyi sneered.

"Ah? Then what should I do? I really hate him. Ruyi, can you do something?" Mu Zitan didn't doubt Liu Ruyi's words, and her pretty face was a little nervous.

"You don't know, he looks like he's in his 30s, with a mustache and a big belly."

Mu Zitan gestured, "To put it bluntly, it seems to be the mother concubine who is pregnant, no, the belly is bigger than the mother concubine, and she is smoking a big cigarette bag. It seems that some strange spices have been added to her body, a smell of coffin board Taste."

Liu Ruyi burst out laughing at what she said, "Do you know what the coffin boards smell like?"

"Isn't that the smell?" Mu Zitan laughed.

"You're really right. The Marquis of Hui'an used to sell coffins, and later he became rich. Not to mention the foreign minister, he is indeed a character. His father left him a few coffin shops, so he went away. It didn't take long, he was only ten years old at that time, others bullied him and plotted against him when he was young, he insisted on defeating those relatives and troublemakers, from a few coffin shops to In addition to being a wealthy businessman involved in many businesses, he even became the Marquis of Hui'an."
