Chapter 32
Chapter 32
It was another sunny day. Wang Qi woke up accompanied by the singing of birds. His right eyelid twitched violently. After applying hot towels for a while, it gradually improved.There were steamed buns left by Murong in the kitchen, and Wang Qi would be full after eating one, so he had nothing else to do, so he decided to prepare lunch in advance.
He took the wooden pot and walked into the yard. Several kinds of seasonal vegetables were planted in the yard, and it was green as far as the eye could see, dotted with a little white in the middle.
Murong, dressed in white, was sitting in the vegetable garden, with a thick layer of petals piled up at his feet, and holding a wild flower that was about to become bald.
Wang Qi leaned over curiously: "Miss Murong, what are you doing?"
"Ask God for help, do you want to promise her?" Murong pulled out the last petal, muttered a few words in his mouth, a little surprised, his expression was not only not relaxed but also a little depressed.
Wang Qi was close, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words "no promise".This kind of behavior that only a young boy would have, Miss Murong not only does not make people feel awkward, but is very cute.
Wang Qi put down the wooden basin, squatted one meter away from Murong, faced Murong face to face, and said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to ask. The moment you pick up the flowers, you have the answer in your heart, but you just dare not face it. If it is true I don’t like each other at all, but my heart is the most determined.”
Murong pursed his lips and threw the flowers casually: "You are right, I know it too."
In fact, subconsciously, I still look forward to starting again with Mu Xiong.Finally, Mu Xiong figured it out, and turned to chase her, but she started to shrink back.
She just wasn't ready to start over.
This is like a person who was hit by a car while crossing the road. She was rescued in time and survived in the end. When she recovered from her injury and had to cross the road again, although there might not be an accident again, she still couldn't help being timid.
Wang Qi picked two handfuls of green vegetables and bean sprouts, while Murong was still holding his chin in both hands, pretending to be a flower, his eyes open and thinking about life.Wang Qi passed Murong out of the yard, and ran back nervously after a while: "Miss Murong, the general is here!"
The tall woman in the veiled hat stepped into the yard, her gaze followed Wang Qi all the time: "It's you I'm looking for."
Wang Qi had a faint premonition, tightened his skirt, and forced himself to be calm: "What do you want me for?"
"Last time at the inn, before we parted, I promised you to help you find Luo Yi's body, and now I have found it."
Wang Qi's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and he asked with trembling lips, "Where is it?"
The voice of the woman in the veiled hat said faintly: "Outside the door." It is inconvenient to carry the corpse into the room where the living live, which is unlucky.
Wang Qi rushed out excitedly.
Murong patted the dirt on his buttocks, and stood up: "Thank you, General, for your help, and I'll trouble you to make a trip, I thought the General wouldn't bother to do such trivial things by himself."
The woman in the veiled hat ignored her prickly tone, looked around, but didn't see the person she was looking for, so she asked Murong: "Where is she?"
Mu Xiong is the only one who can make the woman in the veiled hat so concerned. When it comes to Mu Xiong, Murong's tone suddenly softened a lot: "She built a small wooden house next to my house. At this point, she is either in the wooden house or in the Practice swords in the woods behind."
The woman in the veiled hat took a look at Murong, she always felt that she could hear a bit of showing off in Murong's words.
She left Murong's house to find Mu Xiong, and Murong came out after her. "Luo Yi"'s body was placed on a wooden board, and two women carried it one behind the other. Wang Qi cried until his heart broke. When Murong came out, he had already cried for a round, and he was determined to find a place to bury him." Luo Yi".
Murong thought more: "Where are Luo Yi's parents?" If the second elder is still alive, no matter what, the body of "Luo Yi" should be handed over to "Luo Yi"'s parents.
Wang Qi wiped away his tears, but more tears flowed out, his voice became hoarse from crying: "Amu is an orphan."
He is the only child in his family. He was only 15 years old when he met Amu. At that time, his parents were not in debt. Although he lived in poverty, he had Amu and his parents were still alive. He was full of love and water, so naturally he did not feel bitter.
As a result, the world was turned upside down overnight.
Murong sympathizes with him, and she is unequivocal in what she can do to help him, but there is nothing she can do about fate.
Murong sighed: "Cross over the mountain next to it is the cemetery. People in the village are buried there when they die. Let me go there with you."
The woman in the veiled hat made a gesture, and the two women carrying "Luo Yi" understood and waited for Wang Qi's arrangement.Mu Shao was still playing with mud in the yard, Murong went to wash her hands and led her out, locked the door, and then they set off to the cemetery together.
The woman in the veiled hat stayed where she was and waited for Mu Xiong. She went to the cabin to see, but Mu Xiong was not there.
Mu Xiong returned to the residence covered in sweat. Her mind was so full of things related to Murong that when the figure of the woman in the veiled hat appeared in her field of vision, she was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here? Didn't I say I'm not going back for a while."
"Come and deliver the body of 'Luo Yi' to Wang Qi." The woman in the veiled hat replied succinctly, with a somewhat impatient tone, "I know you don't want to come back! I have something to say, so go to your room."
The wooden house is very small, there is not even a chair to sit and rest, Zhong Lisu sat on the edge of the bed and looked around calmly, feeling worthless for Mu Xiong in his heart, is it necessary to wrong himself to such an extent for a woman?
Mu Xiong poured her a glass of water, then sat down beside the bed, keeping a distance from Zhong Lisu: "Now we can talk."
Zhong Lisu didn't answer, took a sip of the water glass slowly.
Mu Xiong didn't urge him, his eyes became far away because of some memories of the past.
At this time, the veil of Clock Lisu has been taken off, and the two identical faces are next to each other. At first glance, one may think they are clones of the same person.
In fact, there is still a difference. Zhonglijin is taciturn and has a straightforward personality, while Zhonglisu is just the opposite. He is long-sleeved and good at dancing, has an exquisite face, and always smiles at the corner of his mouth. He looks like a weak and deceitful little rabbit.
But Mu Xiong knew that those were all illusions.
When the late emperor was still alive, there were seven queens who were eligible to succeed the throne when they were adults, including them, and all those queens died later.
A few days before the late emperor passed away, Zhong Lisu took a group of his subordinates to visit and stayed for six days, during which time anyone who visited would be declined by the late emperor.Six days later, the late emperor passed away, and Zhong Lisu ascended the throne of the emperor holding the imperial edict written by the late emperor.
At that time, Mu Xiong thought that Zhong Lisu had put the late emperor under house arrest and forced the late emperor to pass on the throne to her. Otherwise, why wasn't her sister the successor?The succession to the throne should be preceded by the elders.
In those years, she was blinded by jealousy and hatred, and opposed Zhonglisu everywhere, and she couldn't even find an excuse to go to Zhonglisu's enthronement ceremony.
Now it seems that Zhonglisu was not the first emperor but Zhonglisu who was put under house arrest.
The first emperor liked Zhonglisu from the very beginning, and wanted Zhonglisu to inherit the throne, so she didn't stop Zhonglisu when he planned to kill several princesses.She has always been very satisfied with Zhonglisu, and she didn't start to panic until she finally found out that Zhonglisu was reluctant to attack Zhonglijin.
Zhong Lisu is cold-blooded, but attaches great importance to family affection.
What if Zhong Lijin said that she wanted to inherit the throne, and Zhong Lisu gave in for a while?She could leave a will for Zhonglisu to succeed him, but what if Zhonglijin was forced to assassinate Zhonglisu before that?
So the first emperor called Zhonglisu to the bedroom, and did not let Zhonglisu leave until she died. It seemed that she was under house arrest, but in fact it was to protect Zhonglisu's safety.
Mu Xiong gave Zhonglisu a complicated look. The reason why she was so sure of this conclusion was that the late emperor raised Zhonglisu as his heir since he was a child.
Others can't see it, but Mu Xiong knows it best.
Zhong Lisu was always in good health when he was a child.When she was ten years old, she fell seriously ill because she accidentally fell into the icy water. That time, the late emperor came to visit him in person, and stayed alone in Zhonglisu's room for a while. I don't know what he said, but since then, My younger sister, who has always had a strong resistance, began to get sick frequently.
Sickly, it's hard to be wary.
Everyone wanted to get rid of the powerful ones first, the ones that could be killed at any time were the easiest, and it would not be too late to deal with them last.
The first emperor can be said to be well-intentioned.
Of course, Mu Xiong cannot make a conclusion based on this alone.What made her wake up was that one day when she was 16 years old, the first emperor ordered her to lead troops to fight. Life in the camp was too hard. She was childish and had no experience in leading soldiers. She was instinctively afraid and didn't want to go.
She went to the first emperor and begged the first emperor to withdraw the decree, but the first emperor ruthlessly refused.That night, the Emperor was agitated because of other things, so he made a slip of the tongue: "Although you have a military mind, you are not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and you are too indecisive when dealing with emotions. Zhong Lijin, people like you are only suitable for fighting and helping others consolidate the country! "
Only then did she understand that she was an outcast from the start.
------
The tea in his hand was already cold, and Zhong Lisu finally said the first sentence: "I have always trusted you, even if you thought of killing me later."
Mu Xiong's fingers trembled, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Well, if you don't want to mention it, I won't say it." Zhong Lisu smiled, thought for a while, and finally chose a straightforward way, "Do you really want to be with Yang Hanyun? Obviously you hated her so much before."
Mu Xiong's eyes were black, and upon hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhong Lisu: "She's not Yang Hanyun, she just looks like her."
She suffered from insomnia last night. After thinking about it all night, she decided to continue chasing. It is always hearsay about resurrecting a dead body. This is the first time she has encountered it. She was hesitant at first, but if she leaves, then she and Murong will really meet again. Impossible.
As long as he thinks of this consequence, Mu Xiong's heart feels like being tightly held by a hand, and the pain is so painful that he can't breathe.
She can't give up and doesn't want to.
But you can't tell Zhong Lisu about the matter of reviving the dead, even if she is his own sister.
"Really?" Zhong Lisu sneered, obviously not believing, "You forgive her like this? Did you forget that she gave you medicine back then?"
Mu Xiong frowned: "...I haven't forgotten."
Yang Hanyun's mother saved the late emperor's life back then, and the late emperor promised to promote Yang Hanyun's mother to be a prime minister after she became emperor.
Yang Hanyun's mother refused, and only said that she would come to the first emperor if she needed help in the future, so she kept that promise, and later Yang Hanyun was able to marry Zhonglijin because of this promise.
Anyway, he was an abandoned son, and it was hard to chase after a woman, so the first emperor agreed.
Zhong Lijin didn't like Yang Hanyun, she didn't even know who Yang Hanyun was, so she was forced to marry Yang Hanyun just like that.Yang Hanyun's family is in a big situation, Zhong Lijin doesn't want to touch her, so he can only ignore Yang Hanyun as much as possible, and either doesn't go home next court, or locks himself in the room, cutting off all possible contact with Yang Hanyun.
Zhong Lijin had a good idea, but he didn't expect Yang Hanyun to pour an aphrodisiac into the wine.
The handover wine was drunk in front of everyone and the late emperor, Zhong Lijin had no choice but to drink it because of the scene, and then fell into the trap.
After returning to the room, her body soon became abnormal. She didn't want to have sex with Yang Hanyun, so she tried her best to escape, and ran to Zhonglisu's room in a panic.
Zhong Lijin originally thought that this matter would just be prevaricated, until Yang Hanyun became pregnant in a shocking way.
Zhong Lisu looked at Mu Xiong sharply: "You slept in my room that night, so it must not be you who had a relationship with Yang Hanyun. I always wanted to ask you, whose child is Yang Hanyun pregnant with?"
