He asked the palace maid next to him: "Have I always been here?" The palace maid smiled: "Of course. I must have had a good dream yesterday, master!"
I got up and got out of bed. There was bright sunlight outside the window. I turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's already noon, Master." the palace maid replied.
"Did something happen outside the palace?" I asked tentatively.
"What do you mean, master?" the palace maid asked me with a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh, I was just asking, out of curiosity."
"Oh, there is something that I just heard about." The palace maid said as if she had thought of something.
"What happened?" I asked.
"The father of General Zhenguo, Prince Mu, has passed away!"
"real?"
It turns out that what happened last night was not a dream, and the prince really passed away.
Then what the prince said last night is also true.
I feel very sad and sad. The palace maid brought me porridge, but I couldn't eat a single bite.
Thinking of Mu Qianxu's tearful eyes last night, my nose felt sour.
No, why would I think of Mu Qianxu? If what the prince said is correct, it seems that Mu Qianxu only approached me to help him usurp the throne.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again, no. Didn't the prince say that he has given up now?
I was conflicted, and it wasn't until Zhao Xizhuo came to my side that I realized he was here.
"When did you come? Why didn't I hear the summons?" I asked him.
"Of course you didn't hear it. You look so dazed. Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh. No, it's just... why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be dealing with court affairs?"
Zhao Xizhuo smiled and tapped my forehead: "Do you think the emperor just stays in the court all day long to deal with government affairs? He should always spend time with the people he loves."
My face turned red, "But I haven't been officially canonized yet?"
Zhao Xizhuo's face suddenly became sad.
"Zimo, let me tell you two things."
"What happened?" One thing is that Mu Qianxu's father, Prince Mu, passed away. I know that, but the other thing is that I don't know.
"The first thing is that Brother Qianxu's father, Prince Mu, passed away. This happened last night. Brother Qianxu is very uncomfortable. I have spared him from going to court these days."
"What about the other thing?" I asked.
"The other thing is that the Queen Mother said..." Zhao Xizhuo hesitated.
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
"My mother said that as soon as Prince Mu died, the power of the Mu family in the court was reduced by half. Although the eldest brother Qianxu has been named the general of the country, the prime minister is the founding hero of the country, so..."
"So what?" I looked at Zhao Xizhuo, waiting for him to continue.
"So the Queen Mother decided to postpone the date of your canonization."
"So that's it. Are you afraid that the queen will cause trouble?" I asked him.
"Zimo, I'm sorry."
I laughed, why do people keep apologizing to me lately? I really can’t accept apologies.
"Don't say you're sorry. There's nothing you can do about it, so don't ever say sorry to me again."
"Zimo!" Zhao Xizhuo hugged me. I was obviously shocked, and then I hugged his back and said softly: "It's okay with me. Anyway, as long as we fall in love, I believe you, really
.”
"Thank you, Zimo."
After that, the power of the Mu family in the court was indeed reduced a lot, and General Mu Qianxu and Mu were not so active in handling affairs in the court.
On the contrary, the power of the prime minister grew stronger and stronger, and the queen, Shangguan Qingxin, became more and more arrogant.
She came to Luoxuan Palace where I lived more than once to cause trouble.
She said: "Since I have not married the emperor as his concubine, how can I live in the palace?"
I laughed: "My stay in Luoxuan Palace was allowed by the late emperor. I think even the emperor would be taboo about it. Does the queen want me to live out?"
"You! You sharp-tongued bitch!" Shangguan Qingxin said through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty is the mother of a country. No matter how sharp-tongued your servant is, you can't match what you said, right?"
"You!" Shangguan Qingxin walked up to me and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Don't think that I dare not touch you. If you are so arrogant again, be careful..."
"Your Majesty!" I immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, you should worry about yourself! You know that the Emperor really wants to give birth to a prince. This servant has not yet been canonized and cannot help the Emperor give birth, so this important responsibility falls on the Empress.
On the body, if the empress is not in Chuxiu Palace to take good care of her health, what is going on running around here all day long?"
"You!" Shangguan Qingxin gritted his teeth and finally rolled up his sleeves and left.
She would always come over from time to time to provoke.
And after several confrontations with her, I started to fight back.
Time passed very quickly, and the postponement of the canonization mentioned by Zhao Xizhuo was not decided until three months later. By this time, it was already autumn again.
The official canonization time will be ten days later.
Over the past few months, I have not seen Mu Qianxu again, nor has he suddenly appeared in front of me in the middle of the night. He seemed to have completely disappeared from my world.
The autumn night was still a bit cool. I read under the lamp for a while and yawned a few times. The maid told me that it was already very late and asked me to rest early, but I just didn't want to rest. I flipped through a few more pages of the book.
, sleepy means sleepy, but just don’t want to sleep.
I couldn't read the book, so I had to walk back and forth.
"Master, what happened to you today?"
"I don't know, I just feel scared and don't want to sleep."
"Then Master, please bring you a bowl of white fungus soup!"
I thought for a while and said: "Okay!"
As soon as the palace maid went out, a dark figure jumped in from the window.
His skills were extremely fast, and he put the knife to my neck in one fell swoop.
At first, I thought it was Mu Qianxu, but just as I was about to scream, he spoke.
"Don't blame me if you die. There is a wrongdoer and a debtor. If you die, you can turn into a ghost and look for her. I am paid to do things. Okay, it's time for you to get on your way!"
His knife slashed hard on my neck. I didn't even have time to scream. A stone quickly hit me. The force of the knife suddenly became much less powerful, but the blood on my neck was still flowing down.
, I fell down as if I had lost all my strength.
Suddenly another white figure appeared and fought with the black figure several times. The white figure was stabbed in the arm, and the black figure was also stabbed by the white figure. The black figure jumped out and ran away.
"Zimo, are you okay? Just say something to me!"
It was Mu Qianxu's voice. I raised my head, looked at him, and asked in an extremely soft voice: "Why are you here? Fortunately, you are here..."
"Zimo, Zimo!" He called me a few more times, but I no longer had the strength to answer him.
In a daze, I heard the maid at the door exclaiming: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"
After that, I didn’t know anything anymore.
