Chapter 139 Intrigue, garden farce (1)
Mu Changming said lightly: "Send this letter."
The man took the letter, and without even looking at it, he held the envelope and stepped out respectfully, "Yes."
When it was late at night, the backyard of Qin Mansion in the capital city was a gentleman in white clothes standing under the eaves and looking indifferently at the full moon in the sky. The silver moonlight shone on him, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a faint silver gauze, which seemed to be more empty and lonely. Hearing the footsteps, the man turned around, and there was a hideous scar on his face, which should have been flawless, which made the man in white in the moonlight feel a little strange.
"It's so late, come here like that?" Gu Xiuting asked lightly.
The boy in white stood in the corridor, frowned and looked at him and said, "Brother hasn't rest yet?" Gu Xiuting smiled and shook his head, "If I rested, wouldn't you go for nothing? Why did you think that you're here now, but what's wrong?"
Mu Qingyi whispered: "Tomorrow will be the birthday of Emperor Hua."
Gu Xiuting was stunned, and the two were silent. The brother and sister had never talked much about the emperor of this country. Mu Qingyi had been planning to revenge on Murong Yu, Murong An and even the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. But in fact, they knew in their hearts that the one who really wanted the Gu family to die was the king on the tall ninth throne. Murong Yu and others were at most just to see the thoughts of Emperor Hua and please him. However, the education he received since childhood told them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Since ancient times, there was a saying that the king had to die if his ministers died. Therefore, their hatred for Emperor Hua was not as direct and true as Murong Yu and others.
"Yes, tomorrow is Emperor Hua's birthday..." Gu Xiuting coughed lightly and sighed faintly.
Mu Qingyi was silent for a moment and whispered: "I will also go to the palace to attend the banquet tomorrow."
Gu Xiuting was stunned and frowned and said, "Why is this? It is said that Mu Qingyi's face was disfigured, so it is said that she would not go." Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Today, Emperor Hua just named me Princess Changning. How could I not go and thank me?"
"Changning?" Gu Xiuting changed color slightly. There may be many people in the capital who know Mrs. Zhang's name, but not many people know Mrs. Zhang's small characters. But Gu Xiuting happened to be one of the few people. He looked up at the beautiful and exquisite boy under the moonlight. Gu Xiuting shook his head and said, "No, Yi'er, you can't go."
Mu Qingyi smiled, raised her hand and touched her face lightly. Her smile suddenly became a little cold, and she smiled and said, "No, brother. I want to go, not only I want to go, but also... just go with this face. I want to see what he wants to do!"
"Nonsense!" Gu Xiuting was no longer willing to guess how much a king holding the power of the world could do. But he was unwilling to guess what harm his only cousin could be.
Looking at Gu Xiuting's frowning brows, Mu Qingyi covered her lips and smiled, "Brother, don't worry. Qingyi is no longer Qingyi when she was a child, so Qingyi has a sense of what to do. Since the emperor has made me the princess, no matter what he wants to do, he will not act rashly in a while. After all... even if the emperor acts recklessly, he still wants shame."
"Since you know the emperor's thoughts..." Gu Xiuting frowned. Looking at the beautiful face of the girl in front of her, she couldn't help but think of her gentle and elegant aunt, who was born and smart, and she should have been safe and smooth all her life. But she saved someone by a coincidence, and never lived a comfortable life again. The imperial family... ungratefulness seems to have always been taken for granted.
Mu Qingyi sneered: "Since the emperor has this idea, can I use it if I hide? Brother, I... my mother can't die in vain. There are so many people in the Gu family and cousins... cousin, since these people have no heart, they don't have to live!"
"Yi'er..." Gu Xiuting raised his hand and gently stroked Mu Qingyi's hair, and smiled indifferently, "It's a waste of how old you are older than you, but it's more indecisive than your daughter's family. Yi'er won't laugh at my elder brother, right?"
Mu Qingyi habitually rubbed Gu Xiuting's palm and said, "I don't know, my brother is the most powerful!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiuting was stunned. Looking at his hand that had just touched Mu Qingyi's hair, he was a little dazed for a moment. Many years ago, there was also a beautiful girl who always liked to rub her palms while he rubbed her hair, then raised her head and smiled and said with a curved look: "Brother is the most amazing!"
Cloud song...Gonger...
Under the moonlight, Gu Xiuting's eyes at the girl in front of him became more complicated. Seeing that the eldest brother was looking at him calmly and didn't know what he was thinking of writing, Mu Qingyi couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Xiuting smiled indifferently and said, "It's nothing? No matter what Qingyi wants to do, my elder brother will help you. No, my elder brother will join Qingyi and let all those who shouldn't be alive go where they should go!" Under the moonlight, the faint words of the young master in white made people feel a bit cold murderous intent.
“Huh?”
Looking at her surprised gaze, Gu Xiuting smiled faintly and did not explain, but said, "Be careful when you enter the palace tomorrow. When you come back, your brother will give you a gift. Now your brother can't help you for a while, be careful."
Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Do you want to give me a gift? It's great. No one has given me a gift for a long time. However, the most important thing for me now is to maintain a good health." Gu Xiuting smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely like it. I have never seen a girl who is so easy to coax. I was happy for a long time when I bought a few wood carvings. There was also a lotus leaf wood carving hidden and I didn't show it to anyone."
Mu Qingyi's little face turned slightly red and said coquettishly: "I'm not that easy to coax. Didn't it give it to me by my elder brother?"
Gu Xiuting smiled and said nothing, but looked at the girl in front of her with a little softer and pity.
Until Mu Qingyi was sent away, the young master Xiuting looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed. He hesitated and murmured: "Ge'er... is it you?" One year, he had just become an official. His salary was not much, so he bought a few exquisite wood carvings for the female family in the family. Among them, the little cousin brought a Ruyi ornament. The person who got the lotus leaf lotus pod wood carving... was the eldest lady of the Gu family and Gu Yunge.
On the first day of his birthday, Emperor Hua named the legitimate daughter of the Sucheng Marquis Mansion as the princess, and it was Mu Qingyi, who was said to have ruined her face. For a time, there were many different opinions in the capital. Some people said that Emperor Hua was moved by Concubine Rou and planned to marry Mu Qingyi into the Ning Prince's Mansion Chongxi, and the title of princess was the compensation given to Mu Qingyi by Emperor Hua. Some people also said that the person who wanted to marry into the Ning Prince's Mansion was Ning Prince's fiancée Mu Yunrong. It was just to compensate the Sucheng Marquis Mansion that he also gave the title of Princess as the legitimate daughter of the Sucheng Marquis Mansion. But these were all boring speculations, and most people understood that such speculations were simply unreasonable. Even if Emperor Hua wanted to compensate Sucheng Marquis Mansion
