Chunya and Qiangwei didn't know what to do when they saw this, but they saw Shen Muchi, dressed in black clothes, already entering the back room.
The two people panicked and turned their heads, only to see Mu Qingchao on the couch struggling to stand up.
"The people... the girls of the people have met... met His Majesty..."
The Queen Mother of Mu Qingchao was very arrogant in front of outsiders, but she was cautious in front of Shen Muchi and called herself a "people's daughter".
She knew how much she weighed, and she also knew that she was actually nothing, just a dog that Shen Mu kept by his side for the time being because he saw that she was useful.
She didn't dare to boast.
Even if you are so ill, you should still have the proper etiquette.
But she finally lost her strength, her feet were soft, and as soon as she touched the ground, she fell forward.
Qiangwei and Chunya were kneeling on the ground, and when they saw this, they immediately stood up to help them.
But Shen Muchi was one step ahead of them.
After all, Shen Mu was late and had some skills. He reacted quickly and reached out to pick her up.
Mu Qingchao was caught off guard but had already hit his full arms.
The girl's body is soft, with a hint of jasmine fragrance, and her slender waist is so soft that it cannot be broken.
Shen Muchi lowered his head and saw Mu Qingchao raising his eyes to look at him.
It is undeniable that she is really beautiful. Even though she did not apply makeup during her illness, she still looks a bit sad and touching.
She is naturally charming, like a wounded and helpless white fox, with a seductive charm beneath her lovable skin.
Shen Mu felt the geocentric pool ripple for no reason.
But when she saw Mu Qingchao's eyes were red, filled with fear and fright, she retreated back and said hurriedly: "A civilian girl has collided with His Majesty, a civilian girl deserves to die."
Shen Muchi came back to his senses in an instant, but his consciousness was still in a daze.
"It's okay...it's okay. You contracted this disease because of me, so you don't have to go to the ground to salute."
"His Majesty……"
Mu Qingchao stopped Shen Muchi and looked at the spring buds and roses behind him.
"You guys go down first." She turned away the two maids.
"yes."
There are some things that don't need to be known to everyone. It is extremely dangerous to seek skin from a tiger. The less you know, the safer you are. Retreating them in front of Shen Muchi can be regarded as protecting them.
Chunya and Qiangwei left.
Mu Qingchao pushed Shen Muchi's chest: "Your Majesty..."
Only then did Shen Muchi realize that he and Mu Qingchao were still in an ambiguous position.
He hesitated for a moment: "Then... um... I'll help you go to bed and rest."
"No need. Men and women cannot be intimate. Your Majesty, you should let the women go. The women can go."
"Why are you and I so different?"
Mu Qingchao smiled. Shen Muchi only really had an impression of her from the last time they met in Fulin Palace, right? When did they become so familiar with each other?
I guess I saw the value in her, and we can become more familiar with her again.
She insisted: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and the daughter of the common people is the concubine of the late emperor. There is a difference in status, so it is better to be careful.
You are the Emperor's Nine-Fifth Supreme, so of course there is no problem, but civilian girls are different, civilian girls have a delicate identity, and must be extremely cautious at all times.
Please also ask Your Majesty to take care of the innocence of the people."
At this point, what can Shen Muchi say?
He tightened his fingertips and finally let go of Mu Qingchao.
But I saw her walking towards the bed step by step. Her feet were trembling, and every step was difficult. She gritted her teeth, but it felt like she had walked a thousand miles away in just a few steps.
Really stubborn...
Shen Muchi couldn't help but think of the scene when she was sent to the palace that day.
Under such circumstances, the little girl couldn't help but reveal her feelings to him.
Maybe it's like this because of the element of anger?
Shen Muchi was thinking this in his mind, but he saw that she was already sitting on the bed, coughing weakly a few times, probably because she had difficulty walking just now, and her face was a little flushed.
Seeing her like this, he felt a little softer.
"Thanks to you for what happened this time." His tone also softened: "You have suffered such a serious illness because of me. I feel wronged."
Mu Qingchao shook his head: "Working for His Majesty is a blessing for a daughter of the people. A daughter of the people will not be wronged."
"What reward do you want?" he asked.
Mu Chaoyun lowered his head: "It is the duty of women of the people to help His Majesty solve his problems, and women of the people dare not ask for rewards.
only……
The girl has been away from home for more than a year, and she really misses her mother at home. If your Majesty really wants to reward the girl, please give fifty elite soldiers to escort the girl home."
Seeing her like this, Shen Muchi felt a little moved in his heart.
Come to think of it, no matter how thoughtful and intelligent she is, she is still just a little girl.
When your little daughter leaves home, how can she miss her mother?
Shen Muchi didn't have much compassion, but he could still afford such a harmless bit of mercy.
"I'm sure." He said.
When Mu Qingchao heard this, his face lit up with joy and he stood up.
"Daughter of the people, thank you, Your Majesty..."
"Okay, okay..."
When Shen Muchi saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop her: "You and I didn't have to be so cautious before. Now your top priority is to recover from your illness. Only when you recover from your illness can you continue to share my worries."
As Shen Muchi spoke, she patted Mu Qingchao's shoulder gently and smiled at her.
Seeing him like this, Mu Qingchao had to admit that Shen Muchi was good-looking, and his smile was as gentle as water.
But she knew better, what kind of cold-blooded monster was hidden under such a gentle face. He always only smiled at people who were valuable, and she felt shuddering just thinking about it.
**
Shen Muchi walked out of Chaoyun Palace, and Eunuch Lu who was waiting outside quickly followed him and held an umbrella for him.
The snow outside has not stopped yet. Shen Muchi raised his head and looked into the distance. It seems that the snow has no intention of stopping yet. There are dark clouds and the sky is dim, which always makes people feel very dull.
He said: "Lu Xi, please accompany me for a walk."
Shen Muchi walked slowly from the Chaoyun Palace. The branches of the Meiyuan Garden were covered with snow, the doors of the Lingxi Palace were locked, and the Taiye Pond was also frozen...
He remembered that the second emperor brother was killed by him in Yimei Garden, and the fourth emperor brother died by Taiye Pond, and the little princess Linglong...
They were all his brothers and sisters, but now their souls have disappeared.
Shen Muchi had never thought about these people before, but now he felt a lot of emotion for some unknown reason.
"Lu Xi, tell me, did I do something wrong?" he asked Eunuch Lu beside him.
"Ah?" Eunuch Lu didn't react for a moment.
"I have always felt that the most important thing is to keep climbing up, to climb to the top, to trample everyone under my feet, and to have everyone bow down and bow before me.
Now that I have done it, why do I find it so boring?
You said that I killed so many people, had so much blood on my hands, lost all family ties, and became alone. Is it really worth it?"
When Shen Muchi said these words, what he thought of for no reason was the girl he had just hurriedly held in his arms.
He remembered her eyes as clear as a deer when he sent her to the palace, and the fearful look she looked at him just now.
When Lu Xi heard what he said, he probably understood something in his heart.
He has followed Shen Muchi for so many years, and he has figured out his thoughts clearly. He knows very well that this is a momentary discovery of the emperor's conscience, and it is worthless.
So he followed Shen Muchi's words and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and what you think about is the common people. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you have a great lover. Naturally, you don't have to stick to these worldly emotions."
This sentence found a very reasonable excuse for Shen Muchi.
When Lu Xi saw his slightly stunned expression, she knew that she had done her best to flatter him.
Shen Mu seemed to feel much better and said, "Let's go back to Fulin Palace."
