Chapter Thirty-two
Mu Ling'er also suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what's the conspiracy?"
"You were poisoned, and then Prime Minister Mu forced you into the palace. While I was negotiating with the Prime Minister, someone lit fireworks to summon the guards of the Nine Cities..." There was a hint of coldness in Mo Zhengxuan's dark eyes.
Mu Ling'er didn't understand for a moment, and frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, whenever there is a crisis in the palace, the guards of the Nine Cities must be summoned. What's wrong with this?"
"What you said is true, but at that time I came out to negotiate with Prime Minister Mu alone, just to let Prime Minister Mu feel my sincerity. But that man summoned the guards of the Nine Cities in the palace, and I..." At this point, Mo Mo
Zhengxuan didn't say anything further, and his face was filled with solemnity.
Mu Ling'er thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, I understand that it takes a certain amount of time to summon the guards of the Nine Cities. At that time, the Emperor was only a few steps away from my father. If my father and the others had been impatient at that time, they might have
They are cornered and must force the emperor to go to the palace. At that time, the emperor may be in great danger."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
This man's mind was not only meticulous, but also extremely vicious. His move seemed to be a first-aid method, but in fact it drove both Prime Minister Mu and Mo Zhengxuan to a dead end.
"You are right. Even if I were to ask who summoned the guards of the Nine Cities now, I would definitely not be able to find out anything." Mo Zhengxuan nodded slowly, Junya's face full of solemnity.
He has been in the palace, but unexpectedly, the palace is full of crises, and someone actually wants to put him to death!
Mu Ling'er frowned and pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, having said that, at least you can identify who is suspected of this. In this way, you can also take precautions."
"Yes, I should be more vigilant. This situation will never happen again." Mo Zhengxuan nodded, deeply convinced.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Youlan came over with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty, I was worried to death. Is everything okay now? They didn't do anything to you, Your Majesty?"
"I'm fine, I made you worry, my beloved concubine. Didn't I ask you to stay in the palace? Why did you run out?" Mo Zhengxuan calmly avoided Shangguan Youlan's hand and said calmly.
Shangguan Youlan looked anxious, "Your Majesty, you have always cared so much for me. In times of crisis, I actually asked the emperor to go out in danger alone. It really insults the emperor's love for me. I am very worried about the emperor's safety.
, then he ran out regardless of the obstruction of those slaves."
The worry on Shangguan Youlan's face was real, and the anxiety in her eyes was beyond words.
"Okay, I'm fine. I didn't worry you." Patting Shangguan Youlan's hand, Mo Zhengxuan comforted him lightly, "It's not a big deal in the first place. I can solve it by myself."
Shangguan Youlan then knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, I did something wrong. I deserve to die!"
"My beloved concubine, what's wrong with you? If you did something wrong, just stand up and say it." Mo Zhengxuan was obviously very surprised and bent down to help Shangguan Youlan.
Mu Ling'er had been standing quietly, watching Shangguan Youlan calmly.
Shangguan Youlan refused to stand up, and still knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, because I am worried about the safety of the Emperor, I ordered the servants to summon the guards of the Nine Cities, thinking that they would come to protect you as soon as possible."
Mo Zhengxuan and Mu Ling'er looked at each other and waited quietly for Shangguan Youlan to continue.
"However, after lighting the signal smoke, I suddenly thought that the guards of the Nine Cities are still some distance away from the capital. Instead of doing anything to help the emperor, this concubine may actually harm the emperor. Your Majesty, I deserve this crime.
If you die, please punish me!" Shangguan Youlan's voice was full of self-blame and guilt.
Mo Zhengxuan lifted Shangguan Youlan up and said with a faint smile on his face: "My dear concubine, I can't blame you. You are also thinking about my safety. I am very happy."
After comforting Shangguan Youlan, Shangguan Youlan suddenly spotted Mu Ling'er standing behind Mo Zhengxuan and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't Princess Rui in the Heavenly Prison? Why is she here?
I have long said that the poisoning has nothing to do with the princess."
"Princess, this is a long story, but it was precisely because someone wanted to poison me in the prison that the prince happened to save me, so I was able to save my life." Mu Ling'er stared closely into Shangguan Youlan's eyes.
, pretending to be very careless and said.
She could clearly see that Shangguan Youlan's expression immediately changed, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, the relationship between the princess and the prince is really enviable. I'm afraid that the prince will miss the princess." Shangguan Youlan's voice was as usual, but it had a slight sourness.
The corners of Mu Ling'er's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
Shangguan Youlan looked slightly embarrassed, and quickly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since the princess will live in the palace for a period of time in the future, then please ask the princess to live with me. Anyway, my palace is big enough, and I like it very much.
princess……"
"My dear concubine, this time the identity of the princess is different from the previous one, so I will arrange the palace for her to live in. My beloved concubine doesn't have to worry about it." Before Mu Ling'er could say anything, Mo Zhengxuan calmly rejected Shangguan Youlan.
request.
Mu Ling'er finally felt relieved after taking a breath.
Shangguan Youlan glanced at Mu Ling'er and said reluctantly: "Well, since the emperor has already made arrangements, I won't say anything more. I will arrange some food and clothing expenses for the princess.
Okay, I won’t bother the emperor anymore.”
"My beloved concubine, please go back to the palace first. I still have something to discuss with the princess and will come back to you later." Mo Zhengxuan ordered with a faint glance at Shangguan Youlan.
Shangguan Youlan was slightly surprised, took a deep look at Mo Zhengxuan and Mu Ling'er, and then slowly withdrew.
"You heard it just now. It was she who summoned the guards of the Nine Cities. However, she is the imperial concubine now and will soon be the queen. Why would she put me to death?" Looking at Shangguan Youlan's graceful appearance
Mo Zhengxuan's back was solemn.
Mu Ling'er pondered for a while, then slowly opened her mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Concubine Lan has already figured it out. Even if she tells you that she is the Nine City Guards she summoned, you won't do anything to her.
Kill it first and show it later. Besides, all her words are for the Emperor, and you cannot blame her, Your Majesty!"
"You mean that Concubine Lan had already arranged what she did?" Mo Zhengxuan's face suddenly darkened.
Mu Ling'er slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not yet certain. We can only take it one step at a time, observe it slowly, and then make a decision."
"That's all I can do. I have to worry about the rest. I'm very upset right now and need someone to help me." Mo Zhengxuan's tone suddenly sounded deeply tired.
Mu Ling'er was surprised and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, my father just made such a big mistake because of me, why does Your Majesty still trust me?"
Mo Zhengxuan didn't speak for a long time, and just walked forward slowly. Mu Ling'er was stunned and quickly followed behind him.
"I met you two years ago. At that time, you were already the king of the country." Mo Zhengxuan's voice was a little erratic, "Although you were beautiful at that time, you lacked the agility you have now..."
Mu Ling'er's heart was beating like a drum, and she asked uneasily: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say? Do you think there is anything wrong with me?"
Could it be that Mo Zhengxuan discovered something was wrong with her?
"At the Hundred Flowers Festival, I thought you were special. You were different from other women I saw." A faint smile appeared on Mo Zhengxuan's elegant and noble face.
The elegant voice blew past her ears like a spring breeze, making Mu Ling'er feel her cheeks getting hot for no reason. Could it be that Mo Zhengxuan was showing his affection for her?
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is not over just like that. You must be more vigilant." Mu Ling'er quickly changed the subject.
Although she felt that Mo Zhengxuan was gentle towards her, after listening to Mo Zhengxuan's words just now, she felt that Mo Zhengxuan seemed to have a good impression of her.
But after Shangguan Youlan returned to her palace, her pretty face was as gloomy as water, and she coldly ordered: "Send someone to watch Mu Ling'er. If anything happens, come back and report to me at any time. Don't miss anything. I heard you."
No?"
After the little girl went out, Jin Yue said cautiously: "My Lady, this time Princess Rui comes to the palace, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being a hostage, right?"
"Jinyue, do you know something?" Shangguan Youlan's face darkened, and her voice contained a faint coldness.
Jin Yue looked around, and then whispered to Shangguan Youlan: "Mother, the prison warden went to administer the medicine according to your instructions, but the prince showed up unexpectedly. I heard from the little eunuch next to the emperor that it was
The emperor asked the prince to go to Tianlao to visit the princess."
"What are you talking about, the emperor asked the prince to go?" Shangguan Youlan suddenly stood up, frowned and said: "But why didn't the prince keep Mu Ling'er in the palace, but brought her back to the palace?"
Looking at Shangguan Youlan, Jin Yue carefully reminded: "Mother, although the prince is sincere to you, but he is often with the princess, will it be..."
"Shut up!" Before she could finish her words, Shangguan Youlan scolded her coldly: "You talk about this kind of thing casually? Be careful and I'll cut out your tongue!"
Jin Yue fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, trembling and said: "My Majesty, please spare your life. I will never dare to do it again. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Youlan held a cup of tea, frowned and thought for a while, and said coldly: "Get up first and go and invite the prince to me. I have important matters to discuss with the prince!"
"Your Majesty, the limelight is very tight now, what if..." Jin Yue looked at Shangguan Youlan's cold face, but she didn't dare to say the next words.
Shangguan Youlan glanced at her coldly, whispered something in her ear, raised her eyes and warned: "You must follow my instructions, otherwise, hum!"
