Chapter 52 Returning to the palace and asking about Yuqing
"King Lie, we've arrived." Following a report, the carriage shook a few times and stopped.
Arrived? The vibration of the carriage made Mu Yizhi, who was drowsy in Mu Lenglie's arms, tremble slightly.
On the way back, he insisted on holding her in his arms so that she could not move. He drank water, combed her hair and washed her face in his arms. He even had to hold her hand when he got off the bus to eat and stay at an inn.
Not relaxing. At night, when she slept on the bed, she found two stools pushed together and slept on them. No movement she made during the night could escape his eyes or ears.
And no matter whether she protested loudly or kept a long face and said nothing, she could not stop his domineering and arbitrary behavior. I don't know when, her defensive mentality weakened in the struggle with him, and she was finally attacked.
The sleepiness took off the disguise. When I arrived, I realized that the posture lying in his arms was very ambiguous.
What has changed here in five years? She can't see, so she has no way of knowing. If she wasn't blind...
Mu Lenglie stepped out of the carriage with her long legs and stretched out her hand to help her. She handed her hand to Cuifang, deliberately ignoring his presence.
"Alas..." Mu Lenglie sighed slightly in his heart. Is it true that the broken mirror cannot be repaired? After hesitating for a while, he picked her up and did not avoid suspicion in front of the servants, ignoring her protests.
, holding her thin body in his arms, passed through two long lines of housekeepers and servants to greet her, and walked towards the direction of Piaoyi Pavilion. There was no longer the evil smile on his face that wanted to tease her and tease her. His solemn expression and
Even she who was missing felt the atmosphere.
He placed her on the bed, kissed her forehead, and ordered his servants to take good care of her. Mu Lenglie rushed to the palace without stopping to visit his mother. After Mu Lenglie left, Xiaohong ran excitedly
Entering Piaoyi Pavilion, the young lady is back. She is the happiest among the maids in Prince Lie's Mansion.
"Miss, do you know? I really miss you! Where have you been? Xiaohong..." As she spoke, this simple and lovely maid began to cry. After not seeing each other for several years, Mu Yi Zhi looked better than before.
She is deep, and her face no longer has the friendly smile of the past, but instead has a gloomy and cold feeling of vicissitudes of life. She must have experienced many hardships, which ruthlessly polished off her strength and enthusiasm.
Her crying also caused Mu Yizhi to feel infinite sadness.
"Xiao Hong..." Before the words were spoken, she shed a thousand tears. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Hong's hand tremblingly.
"Miss, you?" Seeing Mu Yizhi's unusual and cautious movements, Xiaohong stopped crying. What... is happening?
"Haha, I can't see you anymore." She seemed to be talking about other people's affairs calmly. Over time, she has become accustomed to it.
Xiao Hong cried even harder. She knew that her young lady had suffered too much, and she only hoped that Prince Lie would not waver anymore.
The master and servant had not seen each other for several years, so of course they had a lot to talk about. Mu Yizhi also made Cuifang and Xiaohong get to know each other. Of these two maids, one took care of her when she was in Prince Lie's Mansion, and the other was in Wanhua Tower.
He took care of her when he was young, and now he is like her right-hand man.
"Xiaohong, Yuqinggege is now..." Mu Yizhi asked while chatting, as if he suddenly thought of this person unintentionally.
"She lives in Xiaose Pavilion now." There was gloating in her tone.
"Xiao Se Pavilion?" She had never been to this place when she was in Prince Lie's Mansion. "Yes, it's like the Cold Palace!"
"So... how is she?"
"She was dying two days ago. At that time, King Chu was sent to Yangzhou to call King Lie back! Presumably, King Lie came back in such a hurry just to see her." Of course Xiao Hong, who has been in Prince Lie's Mansion all day,
He didn't know about the Queen's injury, and the palace would never disclose such information.
"Oh. Xiaohong, I'm tired. You and Cuifang go out first. I want to take a rest." He said lightly.
Cuifang and Xiaohong retreated and closed the door.
She was lying on the bed with her eyes wide open. Xiaohong said that since she left, she has come to Piaoyi Pavilion to clean once a day. Mu Lenglie ordered it, and also stipulated that everything should not be moved and kept as it was.
Even a piece of white clothes that she had casually placed on the bed before leaving was also placed there. She imagined the scene in the room, as if it only happened yesterday. Why did he do these things? Could it be...
"King Lie came back in such a hurry just to see her." These words suddenly lingered in his ears, and he couldn't go away after that. Did Mu Lenglie lie to her again? It seemed that every time he told her
She lied all because of Yuqing. Last time she said she was dead, this time she said the queen was injured.
