Chapter 67: Escape Again
Hearing Mu Ling'er mention Mo Zhengxuan, Shangguan Youlan's expression changed slightly, and a bitter smile escaped from her lips, "If I had known what would happen now, I would never have done that. Mu Ling'er, all this is not the case
all because of you?"
"Shangguan Youlan, you are so shameless. You are so greedy that you blame all your faults on others. I really admire you!" Mu Ling'er's eyes suddenly rose with anger, and she said to Shangguan Youlan.
Lan was even more filled with hatred.
Shangguan Youlan turned her attention to Mo Qingyue, who was silent at the side, "That day, Qingyue and I were having a tryst in the imperial garden, and you happened to see me. If it weren't for the fear that you would leak the secret, I would be worried every day and do this.
What happens next?"
"It turns out that you knew at that time that Ling'er already knew about what happened between us. Why didn't you tell me?" At this time, Mo Qingyue could no longer remain silent and asked with a frown.
He finally felt that the woman he once loved so deeply was not as simple as he thought. In fact, she was far more sinister than he imagined.
Shangguan Youlan stared at him for a long time before finally speaking: "Qingyue, I have been with you for a while and know your character very well. When you spoke for Mu Ling'er at the banquet, I knew that you had
He is attracted to her, but he doesn't know it yet. Therefore, I will get rid of you quickly before he discovers his feelings."
"So, everything that happened after that was all your fault?" Mu Ling'er said with a gloomy face, almost speaking out of words.
She was now certain that everything she suffered later was arranged by Shangguan Youlan.
Shangguan Youlan nodded and said: "Yes, I summoned you to the palace, deliberately took the hairpin from your head, and then pretended to be poisoned and put you in the sky prison. Then I bribed the prison leader
, I poisoned you. I didn’t expect that Qingyue actually saved you."
"Seeing that Qingyue rescued you, I felt even more panicked, so I planned to force Prime Minister Mu into the palace, and even deliberately lit fireworks asking for help. Unexpectedly, they were all resolved. Later, you volunteered to be a hostage, and I deliberately let Qingyue see it.
It's like the emperor is with you, and then he sets fire to the cold palace..." Shangguan Youlan didn't hide anything and told everything he did.
Mu Ling'er looked at her intently, "You are so cruel."
"This is how it is in this palace, either you die or I live. What I can't control the most is that the emperor is actually attracted to you and protects you at all times, which also made my plans fail several times.
Since the emperor is so protective of you, I don't have any worries anymore, so I started poisoning the emperor's meals..." Shangguan Youlan didn't feel any shame when narrating, and it was natural.
Mo Qingyue took her words and said in a gloomy tone, "The emperor loved you very much at that time, but you were so heartless that you poisoned his food. Do you still have the heart?"
"Qingyue, haven't you always wanted to ascend the throne? Haven't you been secretly cultivating your own power for a long time? He is your imperial brother, why did you force him to death when you tried to force him to the palace?"
Shangguan Youlan retorted.
Mo Qingyue suddenly fell silent.
"Shangguan Youlan, in fact, the emperor is not dead at all. It's just that my father found someone to prepare the medicine to fake death, and asked the emperor to take it secretly and fake death." At this moment, Mu Ling'er interrupted and said: "
Shangguan Youlan, although Qingyue is ambitious, he is not as vicious as you. He already knew that the emperor was not dead, and my father took the initiative to request a funeral at that time just to smuggle the emperor out of the city. "
Shangguan Youlan was suddenly stunned and looked directly at Mo Qingyue, "Qingyue, it turns out that you have been hiding this from me for so long."
"Shangguan Youlan, your fault is that you are too greedy. Since you have got everything you want, you should stop. Why do you insist on testing my bottom line again and again, and actually put my
Chen'er also grabbed it." Mu Ling'er took over and said.
When she found out that Mo Zhengxuan was still alive, Shangguan Youlan suddenly became much more decadent and said casually: "You are right, I got what I wanted. However, I lost the most important thing. People.
Sometimes it's like this, the more you want something, the easier it is to lose it. At that time, I was afraid that Qingyue would fall in love with you, but after much tossing and turning, you still ended up together."
There was too much melancholy in Shangguan Youlan's voice. Mo Qingyue and Mu Ling'er felt the same and did not speak again.
Just when everyone was silent, they heard Du Juan exclaim, "Empress!"
Mo Qingyue and Mu Ling'er were shocked when they saw Shangguan Youlan running quickly to the pillar of the main hall and hitting it with all her strength.
"boom!"
After a muffled sound, blood emerged from Shangguan Youlan's forehead like spring water, and her body fell softly to the ground.
Mo Qingyue walked to her side in a few steps, hugged her in his arms, and hurriedly shouted outside, "Royal doctor!"
"Your Majesty, no need, I, I can die in your arms, also..." Before she could finish her sentence, Shangguan Youlan's head fell to one side, and she died.
Mo Qingyue was stunned immediately. He stared at the blood flowing across Shangguan Youlan's charming face, and deep pain flashed in his eyes. After all, he had loved this woman deeply, and he had risked everything for her.
Although she had done many wrong things, Mo Qingyue never expected that she would choose such a way to understand her life.
"Your Majesty, she is quite pitiful. She should be buried as a queen, right?" At some point, Mu Ling'er was already standing beside him, with tears in her beautiful eyes.
Mo Qingyue nodded, slowly picked up Shangguan Youlan, and walked slowly outside. Mu Ling'er looked at his back quietly, and finally there was a look of determination on his face.
Sure enough, Mo Qingyue followed what Mu Ling'er said and hid the truth about Shangguan Youlan's death. He only said that the queen suddenly fell ill and died suddenly, and gave Shangguan Youlan a grand burial according to the queen's etiquette.
Shangguan Youlan spent her whole life plotting against others to get what she wanted. Now that she is buried in the imperial mausoleum, it is her wish.
After a few days of busy work, Mo Qingyue was resting in the study when he saw the prince Mo Zichen running in hurriedly, "Father, look at this, it seems to be left by my mother."
"What's written on it?" Mo Qingyue felt uneasy and hurriedly unfolded the paper, only to see the beautiful font on it, which was Mu Ling'er's font. After reading, Mo Qingyue froze and the paper in his hand fell.
He came down and looked at Mo Zichen, "Chen'er, when did you discover this?"
Mo Zichen tried his best to think back, "Father, the palace maid just packed my son's mattress last night and didn't find it yet. But I saw it this morning. My mother should have put it in last night."
"Come here, send the guards quickly to bring Concubine Ling back to me!" After hearing what Mo Zichen said, Mo Qingyue did not hesitate at all. After ordering the guards, he gave Mo Zichen a few words and immediately
He asked the eunuch to fetch the horse and flew after him outside the city.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Mo Qingyue and several guards returned to the palace exhausted.
Mu Ling'er disappeared from his life again just like five years ago.
"Father, has mother gone to grandpa's house?" Seeing that Mo Qingyue was exhausted, Mo Zichen brought tea in person.
Just as he was halfway through drinking the tea in his hand, Mo Zichen's words made Mo Qingyue's eyes suddenly light up. He immediately threw the tea cup on the table and rode to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Old minister, your Majesty, your Majesty..." Seeing Mo Qingyue's visit late at night, Prime Minister Mu didn't know why, so he took the whole family to pick him up.
Mo Qingyue helped Prime Minister Mu up and asked anxiously: "Prime Minister, tell me, is Ling'er here with you?"
"Your Majesty, isn't Ling'er in the palace?" Prime Minister Mu seemed to be surprised, "Ling'er has not come back."
After staring at Prime Minister Mu's face carefully for a long time, and seeing that Prime Minister Mu's face didn't look fake, Mo Qingyue's heart suddenly hit the bottom, and he slowly turned around and walked out. When he was about to walk out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly
Turning his head, he looked at the Prime Minister and said: "Prime Minister, Chen'er is still young, can you bear to see your grandson without a mother?"
After saying that, Mo Qingyue got on the horse and quickly disappeared into the night.
Looking at Mo Qingyue's back, Prime Minister Mu murmured: "What should I do?"
I originally thought that Mo Qingyue would not come again because he did not ask about Mu Ling'er's whereabouts last time. Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyue came to the Prime Minister's Mansion every few days. He did not speak every time, but just sat quietly.
After sitting for an hour, he will leave.
Sometimes, Mo Qingyue would bring Mo Zichen with him. After Mo Zichen saw Prime Minister Mu, he just cried and shouted to find his mother.
Prime Minister Mu suspected that if he continued like this, his life would be lost sooner or later.
"Your Majesty, I lied to the Emperor. Actually..." Prime Minister Mu looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I know where Ling'er is. But Your Majesty, please don't tell Ling'er that I told you.
, otherwise, Ling'er will fight tooth and nail with Lao Chen."
Mo Qingyue's eyes filled with ecstasy, and he nodded hastily and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will never say that you told me, I will just say that I found it myself."
Seeing the surprise on Mo Qingyue's face, Prime Minister Mu sighed and finally told Mo Qingyue where Mu Ling'er was.
"Mu Ling'er, let me see where you are going to escape this time? I must catch you firmly this time!" After coming out of Prime Minister Mu's Mansion, he saw Mo Zichen making faces at him, and Mo Qingyue was there.
He said secretly in his heart.
