Chapter 135 Public Confession(1/2)
Murong Ding was extremely annoyed by Wen Ziya's possessiveness, but he said patiently, "Since I want to give her to my father, how could I sleep with her? Don't think so much, and don't always interfere in my affairs. Just do what I say."
Wen Ziya was satisfied, "I'm going to write a memorial to Emperor Liang. Xu Muqing wants to hide from us, but I just want to force her out. Isn't she the number one beauty and the most talented woman in the capital? Let's see if she can surpass the crowd at the peony banquet and shine."
"Go quickly, remember to be kind to her face and be polite. You should talk to Xu Muqing with the face of killing your father's enemy. It would be strange if others are willing to pay attention to you. Remember what I said."
Murong Ding cares about Xu Muqing's attitude inside and outside, which makes her cousin, who is extremely jealous and possessive, feels sour and begins to hurt others uncontrollably.
She said viciously in her heart, Xu Muqing, you'd better recognize your situation and dare to snatch a man from me. I will burn all your hair and turn you into the ugliest woman. Let's see how you seduce men and make my cousin miss you?
Xu Muqing knew nothing about the hatred that Wen Ziya rose from the bottom of her heart. She slept sweetly. She didn't care about the plausible words that others had solicited her and told her about her life experience.
When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed and her skin was whiter and tender and could almost pinch it out of water. She was in a good mood and was not affected by the Beidi people. She even ate two more fresh meat dumplings during breakfast.
In fact, she was even more afraid of the evil medical skills of the Nanyue Kingdom, the witchcrafts and the insects that caused people to harm, but they could kill people without realizing it.
Especially the two old men around the Prince of Nanyue, with their eyes shining brightly, Xu Muqing was even more alert and did not dare to relax at all.
She didn't know whether the Prince of Nanyue wanted to possess the beautiful woman when she saw it, or was revealed by Xiao Lince that she had an ambiguous relationship with Xiao Linye, so she wanted to catch her and threaten Xiao Linye in exchange for benefits?
Unable to figure it out, Xu Muqing simply stopped thinking about it, but she could still do some things that were not in the future. For example, for some very powerful and lethal Gu insects in Nanyue, although she did not have an antidote, she could make poison, forcing Gu insects to survive in the human body, so that Gu insects could not survive.
Of course, it is because the worms have not been put into human bodies and are now given medicines that are not conducive to the worms, so the worms cannot stay.
But, there are still many medicinal herbs she doesn't have, so she has to go to the divine doctor's house to get it, and then she goes there.
Tang Weiqing looked at her with a sharp gaze for a long time, and she was so scared that she was in a state of terrifying that a fine and dense cold sweat broke out in her palms, "Master, why do you look at me like this?"
She hasn't done anything bad during this period. The master's eyes seemed to see her without any hiding. No matter how good her psychological quality is, she has not done anything bad. She is scared to sweat in a cold sweat after being stared at like this for a long time.
"No matter how you look, you don't look like a Beidi people. Why did those turtles say such words to you?" Tang Weiqing looked at her for a long time, but did not find that she had the characteristics of a nomadic person. She couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Xu Muqing then understood what her master was looking at. When she thought of those words, she couldn't help but ask carefully, "Master, if I were from Beidi Kingdom, would you still recognize me as an apprentice?"
She also has a lot of respect for Tang Weiqing. In her heart, the master is the grandfather who loves her the most. She is the person who respects and wants to serve her most in the end of her life, besides her parents.
She cared about her master's opinion of her and did not want to let her give up and neglect her because of some plausible words from the Beidi people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said something, Tang Weiqing was so angry that she smashed a candied fruit on her head, and said angrily, "What are you thinking about in a mess? Look in the mirror and see, how can you look like the Beidi people? Can such a wild place give birth to a girl as beautiful as you?"
"Just as big as your short winter melon, any woman from Beidi Kingdom is half a head taller than you. You are a girl from the Jiangnan water town in a beautiful place. Okay. Don't doubt your life experience in the future. If you are from Beidi, do you think Xu Yirong and Yang Yaoguang will adopt you? How big are you?"
Xu Muqing covered her head and said aggrievedly, "Master, I'm afraid, why are you so angry? The woman in that picture is indeed similar to me, so I will inevitably think more. Besides, I'm also worried that my parents will be sad when they know this."
Tang Weiqing looked at the worry in her eyes, and her heart suddenly became soft. She couldn't help but relax and said, "Girl Qing, don't worry, you are a member of our Liang Kingdom, and your bloodline and appearance cannot lie."
"Besides, I grew up. Don't you know what kind of temper you are? Looking at you, you are wearing a crab, walking sideways like a crab, it's very difficult to mess with. You look like you are thorny, you are actually afraid to die, and you care about your relatives and never dare to cause trouble."
"You kid looks hard and extremely cold. In fact, you are the softest and kind in your heart. You cannot bear to see others hurt and be grateful."
Most of those eyes were clear, and they had no desire for power and status. Only family affection and only beautiful things could enter her eyes.
She cared for her senior brother very much. Even when she was terminally ill, she never showed any disgust. Instead, she devoted herself to trying to relieve Xiao Linye's poison.
Not to mention that she always remembers the body of an old man. In addition to giving him wine and food and letting him eat on time, she also often makes some soup to nourish his body for him to drink.
How could such a girl do ungrateful things?
Tang Weiqing was very serious and said this to her earnestly. Xu Muqing felt warm in her heart, "Master, you are so nice to me. I really feel very lucky to meet a master as good as you when I was young. Thank you for trusting me so much."
"Don't talk about these numb words, the winter melon and pork rib soup you made before, the clear water cabbage and the ginger duck soup are all very delicious. I will send a few items every day when I have time. By the way, the braised pig ears, braised pig heads, and braised pig trotters also taste very good, so I can bring some here by the way."
Xu Muqing said resentfully, "Master, the braised pig ears and braised pig's trotters are both numb and spicy. You feel uncomfortable every time you eat them, otherwise you won't want these braised dishes? Otherwise, can I make a few more dishes with meat and vegetables? I'll also make some fruit wine for you to drink?"
"No, I just like pig ears, pork heads, and braised pig's trotters. They are crispy and chewy when bitten without tampering their teeth. Don't do anything else for me, I just want to eat these."
"Then I won't add chili and pepper, can I add more spices? You have a bad stomach. Every time you eat these, you will have a stomachache for several days. I feel distressed." She compromised helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Tang Weiqing was unhappy, "Xu Muqing, if you dare to remove the peppers and peppers, I don't recognize you as your apprentice! I just like the numb and spicy flavor, and I don't let it be added in a little bit."
"Remember to prepare it for me to deliver it. Your cooking skills are better than those chefs. No matter the chef in Beijing, you can't make the taste you want."
Xu Muqing could only say, "You can make it for you, Master, but don't eat so many braised dishes. I'll give you more stomach-nourishing soup."
Seeing that she was willing to cook braised dishes, Tang Weiqing hummed with satisfaction, "This is almost the same. Don't forget to bring it to me. I want it too."
"By the way, Master, I need some medicinal materials. Take me to pick them." She thought of her purpose and helped her beat her shoulders flatteringly. The sweeter her voice would be.
"Just pick the medicinal materials you want, don't ask me." When did this stinky girl be polite, she is now shy.
"Master, what I need is the blood of the divine turtle, as well as the scattered soul vine and the ghost chou grass. These medicinal materials are carefully protected by Master. If I don't tell you, I won't dare to get them."
She said with a smile, but she didn't dare to look at Tang Weiqing's face, afraid that the next moment, the master would jump up again and beat her up hard.
"These are all grasses to deal with insects. What do you want these medicinal materials to do?"
Xu Muqing thought of Huo Shujing's eyes and the two elders' eyes, and she felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart. She suppressed her disgust and said, "What is the idea of the Prince of Nanyue who might be fighting against His Highness? I plan to do some antidote to prevent the poison from being treated with the Prince of Crown."
"You also know the evil magic tricks of the South Vietnamese and those witchcraft that are afraid of people. I am worried that the prince will be plotted against."
When Tang Weiqing saw Xu Muqing mentioning Xiao Linye, she was incredibly gentle and was very different from the hot little peppers on weekdays. His face became even more serious. He rarely asked seriously, "Have you thought it through clearly, have you really recognized him?"
"Girl Qing, I have taken the prince's pulse to the body. It is seriously damaged and may die at any time. He may only have a lifespan of several months to one year. Do you have to be with him regardless of the situation? Master is worried that you will be in great pain at that time."
Xu Muqing gritted her teeth, and a firm and brave light burst out from her eyes, "Master, I have already thought it very clearly. I have determined him. No matter what kind of result I will face in the future, I can accept it. As long as he does not betray him, I will never do anything that disappoints him."
"Then his life is short, don't you care? Even if you are in love, if you only have a short time to spend together, how can you last forever?"
"Do you have to rely on short sweet memories to support your life in the long decades in the future? You will be in great pain at that time. Qing girl, Master hopes that you will not be stupid and do stupid things!" Tang Weiqing advised earnestly.
However, Xu Muqing seemed to be filled with a ecstasy soup. Her voice was excited and had a sense of paranoidness, "The prince will not live short, I will definitely find a way to make him live for a long time. Master, I have learned so many medical skills, and there will be a way."
Tang Weiqing looked at the persistence and love in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head, "Forget it, Master will no longer advise you. If you think this matter is worth it, it is worth it. Let's go, Master will take you to get the medicinal materials you want."
A thin mist floated in Xu Muqing's eyes, and she whispered, "Thank you, Master."
I'm sorry, Master, Xiao Linye will never die. The blood of the poisonous divine turtle can be solved. I can't tell you about this now. Please don't blame me if you know it then.
Tang Weiqing took her to get the medicinal herbs she wanted most, and she did not forget to remind her.
"These medicines are all highly toxic. You must be careful when boiling the medicine. Don't cut your fingers, otherwise it will invade your blood. Even the gods of Daluo will not be able to save you."
"Girl Qing, although it is a good destination for a girl to get married, here, Master still wants to tell you that only when you love yourself and cherish yourself can others love you and cherish you, do you understand?"
"Even if you are in love, don't put your posture so low, otherwise your master will be worried that you will be covered in bruises in the end."
Xu Muqing understood that the master's heart-to-heart words were indeed treated like her as her beloved granddaughter, so she said such words to her.
She was extremely moved and nodded gently, "I remember the words of the master, and the disciple will definitely cherish himself."
Tang Weiqing also knew her temperament and decided that one thing was that even ten cows could not be brought back. He had to send his blessings, "I hope that you lovers will eventually get married, and I hope that Xiao Linye can relieve the poison on his body and live happily with you for the rest of his life."
"Master, thank you for being so kind to me, teaching me a lot of skills and learning a lot of principles of being a human being."
The old man, whose hair and beard were gray, but still energetic, waved his hand, "Go back and do your antidote. Remember to get me braised pig ears, pork heads and pig trotters, I don't want to do anything like that."
Xu Muqing's tears and sadness dissipated in her heart without a trace, and her mood suddenly became relaxed, "Okay, I'll prepare immediately when I go back."
After leaving the Divine Doctor's Mansion, she did not stop at all, and immediately returned in the carriage towards the general's Mansion.
However, when passing through the busiest market, the coachman suddenly tightened the reins and the carriage stopped suddenly. Xu Muqing hit her head against the wall of the carriage. With a thud, a severe pain came, which made her unable to help but gasp.
"Bai Wei, go out and see what happened?"
However, before her maid could go out, Huo Shu Jingxiemei, but his voice, which he thought was gentle and affectionate, rang out of the carriage, "Miss Xu Muqing, it's really a coincidence that Gu actually met you again in this lively market. This is what you Liang people call fate?"
Xu Muqing's face immediately turned dark. Why is this man gloomy? He is destined to be with him? This man clearly followed her and deliberately blocked her on the way?
"Zhuyu, you go out and let him leave too. Don't block the pedestrians' way. We still have to hurry to go home."
The most important thing is that she felt that the prince of Nanyue was so vulgar. When she looked at her, she seemed to want to strip her whole body of clothes and let him appear in front of him without any cover, allowing him to watch and linger.
"Crown Prince of Nanyue, our girl has urgent matters to rush back to the house. I also asked the prince to give in a little. Our lady is very grateful." Zhuyu said to Huo Shujing in a cold face and a hard tone.
This Nanyue prince is so annoying. When will he bother their ladies? Is there nothing he can do when he comes to Liang State?
Huo Shujing stood in front of the carriage, holding a large bouquet of colorful flowers in his hand, and a affectionate voice rang out outside.
"When Gu saw Miss Xu at the palace banquet that day, he was fascinated by her charming appearance. This girl, please call out your lady and give her this bouquet of flowers."
"Flowers and beauty, these beautiful flowers are not as beautiful as Miss Xu's appearance. Miss Xu, I don't know if I can admire my face. I invite you to have a meal so that we can get to know each other."
Xu Muqing was so angry that she felt angry when she heard these frivolous words in the carriage. What exactly did the frivolous prince of Nanyue want to do? Did he think she would compromise in this way?
"Prince of Nanyue, please give up a way. My lady really has something urgent to go home. She doesn't have time to do meaningless delays and entanglements with you here. Please respect Your Highness."
Bai Wei was angry, and said with a gloomy face.
The prince of Nanyue was not frightened by the anger she exuded, and still smiled brightly and charmingly, "The little maid shouldn't be so arrogant, a beautiful lady, a gentleman. Gu and your lady are unmarried men and women, and they are of equal status. That is also a pair of heaven and earth. You can't stop Gu from looking for the happiness you want, otherwise Gu will be polite to you."
Bai Wei had never seen such a shameless man. She couldn't say that Huo Shujing was so angry that she trembled all over. However, she didn't want her lady to come out and get angry with the prince, so she couldn't help but pinch her fists and clatter.
On the bustling road, there were already many gossipers watching, and many were discussing whether the Prince of Nanyue and Xu Muqing would achieve success?
He also said that after Xu Muqing pushed back her marriage with Zhang Mingxi, she could still hook up with the prince of Nanyue. This skill is simply first-class and no one can afford to offend him.
Bai Wei was worried that her lady would get angry when she heard these words, and she was shameless and unwilling to the prince of Nanyue, who had no choice but to make trouble. She was so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth.
She came back with a breath and said to Xu Muqing with guilt, "Miss, the Prince of Nanyue has led people to block the road ahead, otherwise we will change another road back? There is no way to keep stalemate like this."
In this world, whoever can give up his face will be invincible.
Huo Shu Jing Xiemei sounded again with a careless voice, affectionate and gentle as if he was a peerless man, "Miss Xu Muqing, Gu loves you at first sight and falls in love with him at the second sight, so you can give him some face. Wouldn't it be better to come out of the carriage to meet Gu for one time?"
"Gu really admires you very much. I want to have a bright future with you. Is it okay to show me a good idea?"
The princes of a country confessed in the street, and spoke to her humbly with prayers. Many people around were already talking about it, accusing Xu Muqing of being ungrateful. They were already doing this. She was too aloof to not show up to meet Qiao.
Someone shouted out from the crowd, "Miss Xu, the prince admires you. Tell him about his longing for you in the street, don't take it, at least come out to meet him. That's the noble Prince of Nanyue, not a rogue in the city. It's too much for your heart to be so cold."
Many people also agreed, "That's right, isn't it her blessing to be taken by the Prince of Nanyue? Why are they still hiding in the carriage and not coming out? This way, it will save others' face. If the prince of Nanyue is angry and complains to the emperor, even if she loses the face of Liang, she will become the criminal of Liang."
"Miss Xu, just come out of the carriage and say a few words to the Prince of Nanyue and accept the Prince's flowers. It's no big deal."
Bai Wei was so angry that her heart was surging when she heard these words in the carriage that blood kept surging upwards, and she cursed with hatred, "How come these humble servants look like slaves, why did they become a lady when they come to their mouths? It's not that the lady called the prince of Nanyue here."
Xu Muqing took a few deep breaths before resisting the urge to turn Huo Shujing into a eunuch with poison. She said coldly, "Since Prince Huo dares to block me here, it is definitely impossible to change the way."
To be continued...
