Chapter 208: Concubine Rou's Tragedy (4)

Until that day, when he left the palace, he was lazy and took a shortcut to pass by Huayang Palace and heard some strange and strange sounds coming from it. He was curious and sneaked into it. With his skills, no one in the palace would find out where he wanted to go. At that time, he was not the confidant of Huahuang, so he was naturally not qualified to follow Huahuang in the palace. Therefore, after entering Huayang Palace, he realized that there was actually a beautiful woman in Huayang Palace except Mu Feiluan.

The woman always cried in despair when she was alone, but when Emperor Hua arrived, it seemed that nothing was true. Although she couldn't be happy, she could not see any displeasure. If it weren't for the pain of despair before, Nie Yun would have thought that this woman was the lover of Emperor Hua in the palace. Later, when she saw that the woman was almost seeking death, but was threatened by Mu Feiluan with her daughter, Nie Yun finally guessed the identity of this woman.

This is the first time Nie Yun has seen such an ugly and dirty conspiracy in his more than 20 years of life. Even in the corrupt Nie family that he hated, there has never been such a thing.

"Who will save me...Yi'er...my Yi'er..."

Hanging himself on the eaves, Nie Yun looked at the desperate and unsightly eyes of the woman in the hall. He knew that if it weren't for Yi'er in her mouth, this woman might have committed suicide long ago.

Nie Yun did not save her, he could not save her. He was the palace guard, so what if he could take her out of the palace quietly? She also had a daughter in the Sucheng Marquis' Mansion. Even if they brought both of them out, how would two helpless and weak women live? The most important thing is... he cannot betray Your Majesty. Every time he saw Your Majesty relaxed and happy in front of that woman, Nie Yun wanted to expose such hypocritical peace, but in the end he did nothing.

Not long after, the woman was quietly sent out of the palace and returned to the Sucheng Marquis Mansion. Nie Yun felt relieved. Perhaps his decision was not wrong. When he returned home, she could see her daughter and forget about it and start over. But... a few days later, the news came to the palace - Zhang, the wife of the Sucheng Marquis Mansion, and hanged herself to death. Because of the matter between the Gu family and the Zhang family at that time, Zhang's suicide did not attract much attention. His Majesty got angry and woke up after getting drunk, and posthumously named Zhang as the wife of Qin.

But Nie Yun, who had been watching silently, felt as if his heart was cold and cold. From then on, his martial arts never improved again.

Nie Yun obviously did not have the habit of telling others about his worries, so he spoke very slowly. And it was intermittent. Mu Qingyi also took a lot of time to fully understand what Nie Yun wanted to say. After Nie Yun finished everything he wanted to say, Mu Qingyi looked at his guilty face and was silent for a long time before saying, "Teacher Nie will go back first, I want to be quiet."

Nie Yun opened his mouth, wanted to speak but stopped. In the end, he didn't say anything, got up and walked out.

In the hall, Mu Qingyi sat quietly alone. She didn't know what to react to what Nie Yun said. From Nie Yun's perspective, he did nothing wrong. He was the guard in the palace and the Emperor Hua. He really had no obligation to save a person who had never lived, and saving this person was not just about taking someone out of the palace. Many subsequent things were not something that Nie Yun could deal with or solve at that time. At least, compared to those who had no guilt and even felt that hurting others for granted, Nie Yun, a person who was originally irrelevant, at least knew guilt.

However, Mu Qingyi was also unacceptable at the same time. When her aunt was suffering those pains, there was a person who looked at all as if she was bystanders. She looked at her aunt's painful struggles and humiliation but was indifferent. Therefore, even though she knew that Nie Yun should not take responsibility for these things, she still could not face Nie Yun calmly.

"Your Maiden, Princess Ping is coming down." The palace maid reported outside the door.

Mu Qingyi was a little surprised. In order to avoid being suspected by Emperor Hua, she had never taken the initiative to contact her cousin. Apart from the last time she met in the villa of Prince Gong’s Mansion, the two had not even met in private. After calming down, Mu Qingyi said lightly: "Please come in with Your Highness Ping."

After a while, Murong Xi was brought in. Waving his hand and asked someone to retreat, Mu Qingyi just looked at Murong Xi and bit the corner of his lips and said, "Big Cousin, are you okay?" Murong Xi nodded with a smile and said, "What else can I do wrong with Qing Yi... Thank you for your hard work these days... Cough cough..." Before he finished speaking, Murong Xi started coughing. In fact, just looking at Murong Xi's complexion and his thin body, he knew that he was not very good. Because of the great changes in the Gu family and the deposed position, the eldest cousin has been depressed over the years. Now that he heard about his aunt's news, it must be another great impact for him.

"Big cousin, it's better to take care of your health." Mu Qingyi advised softly.

Murong Xi smiled desolately and said, "Now... except you and... who else in this world would think I should take care of myself?" His father had long stopped treating him as his son. As for his brothers, I'm afraid he would want him to die early and avoid getting in the way, right?

Mu Qingyi was silent. She and her elder brother could simply hate Emperor Hua, but their elder cousin could not. Because that was the father he once admired and respected.

"Big cousin..."

Murong Xi waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Look at me, my cousin, and I want you to comfort me, isn't it useless?" Mu Qingyi shook her head. Murong Xi has just stood up this year, but she looks much older than her.

"How could my cousin come to Mingfang Pavilion?" Mu Qingyi asked curiously.

Murong Xi curled his lips and smiled faintly: "It's the father's meaning. The father said that you were not familiar with the place you just entered the palace, so I asked me to come and talk to you. No matter what, we are still... cousins." This cousin is actually a bit ironic. Mu Qingyi has no blood relationship with Murong Xi. It's just that because Murong Xi is Gu Yunge and Gu Xiuting's cousin and Mu Qingyi is Gu Yunge and Gu Xiuting's cousin. Now that Gu Yunge is dead, Gu Xiuting's whereabouts are unknown, Emperor Hua remembers their cousin.

The current Emperor Hua really doesn't have to worry about Murong Xi. Murong Xi is no longer the prime minister who was in full swing three or four years ago. Now that the Gu family has been destroyed and the Zhang family has been defeated, even Murong Xi's own health is not very good, Emperor Hua's defense against him has gradually become much looser.

The hall was quiet for a while, and Mu Qingyi said: "My cousin has seen...what has he ever seen?"
