Chapter 112 Concubine Xie, where is the face
The night was low, and the dark sky was like thick ink, so deep that it could not be melted, with a bit of breathless depression.
At this time, the entire Cheng'an Temple had fallen into a deep sleep. Qiyue walked to Mu Qingling who was resting with her eyes closed, and lowered her voice and said, "It's getting late, so my master might as well go and rest first, as there are subordinates guarding her here."
Mu Qingling opened her eyes, and she was clear in her eyes. She shook her head lightly, "No need. Wait for a while."
When Qi Yue saw Mu Qingling say this, she no longer persuaded her. In a completely unfamiliar territory, sometimes she can control the initiative as soon as possible. This is always like being caught off guard when the incident happened.
About the time of the garrison, Cheng'an Temple, which had been quiet, was a little lively. Although the sound did not reach Mu Qingling, through the window, you could still clearly see the front yard of Cheng'an Temple, and gradually a few candlelights lit up.
At this moment, Zhufeng, who went to find out where Mu Mingfeng was locked up, also came back.
"How?" Mu Qingling took care of the hem of her skirt that was not messy, stood up from the chair, and glanced at Cheng'an Temple, which was getting brighter and brighter behind him.
Zhu Feng's face was not good-looking, "I was incompetent and I didn't find out where Mu Mingfeng was locked up."
Mu Qingling saw Zhu Feng's expression in her eyes, and after a while, she frowned and said, "You have been discovered."
Zhu Feng shook his head, "That's not. The one who sneaked into Cheng'an Temple today to find out the news was not the one who sneaked into Cheng'an Temple. There were two other passers-by who seemed to be looking for something. My subordinates have already found out that there are more than the people who sneaked into Cheng'an Temple during this period. There are often people who come to Cheng'an Temple some time ago. My subordinates... also found that there are many masters hidden in the darkness of Cheng'an Temple. I am afraid that the master can't continue to stay."
Zhu Feng estimated that those masters hiding in the darkness would have taken action together. If they were to do it together, it would be difficult for him and Qi Yue to protect the prince's concubine to leave together. Unless the prince takes action himself...
Qi Yue looked solemn, "If this is the case, Cheng'an Temple really can't stay anymore, Master, we..."
Mu Qingling knew what she wanted to say, shook her head and said, "Those people were not targeting me. If I guessed correctly, it should be that there were too many people who sneaked into Cheng'an Temple during this period, and someone specially transferred them over. They happened to be discovered by Zhufeng, who was looking for someone today."
"But, Master..."
"Qiyue, do you think we can escape freely if we leave now. If we leave at this time, we may even make others think that we are guilty and are in a hurry to escape." Mu Qingling said lightly. Maybe it will really arouse the murderous intent of those masters at that time. Mu Qingling doesn't want to come to Cheng'an Temple at a rare opportunity, which will cause death.
Mu Qingling continued: "Zhufeng, did you notice what happened when you first came back?"
Zhu Feng said: "It should be the people who came to Cheng'an Temple to find things. They were discovered."
Mu Qingling nodded, this was expected. However, what exactly is in Cheng'an Temple attracted so many people to look for it.
"Not good, I'm leaving..." The noisy sound came from far to near. You can still hear the chaotic footsteps coming and going.
Mu Qingling walked to the window and saw that the fire was spreading towards them, and her heart suddenly sank.
Someone deliberately set fire!
"Zhufeng, hide it. No matter what happens later, you will not appear at will without my permission." Mu Qingling faced Zhufeng and ordered in a deep voice.
They just went to Cheng'an Temple today, and there were thieves at night. Zhufeng discovered that they were still running away. Although such a thing happened before, it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately arranged it.
Mu Qingling still said the same thing, there is no absolute coincidence in this world.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, but nodded and disappeared into the room in the blink of an eye according to Mu Qingling's instructions. Although Mu Qingling didn't know where he could hide now, she believed that it would be easy for Zhu Feng to avoid some open and hidden arrows with Zhu Feng's skills.
"Qiyue, I know what to do later." Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiyue. Qiyue had once pretended to be a girl Mo to show up in front of everyone. I thought it would be okay to get away with the crowd who came to express my condolences later.
"I understand!"
"Go away, go out!" Mu Qingling's eyes sank.
At this time, the fire was almost spreading to the door of the yard. As soon as Mu Qingling and Qi Yue walked to the door, they felt a wave of heat coming towards them, and the target was the flames that shone through the sky.
Staring at the scene in front of him, Mu Qingling slightly curled the corner of her lower lip. Although it was not calm today, everyone knew what kind of wind could create such a fire.
"Master, I will take you out." Qi Yue's face was serious.
Mu Qingling nodded, not showing off her strength. At this time, the entrance to the courtyard was blocked by a fire. She did not think that she could still walk out without any damage under such circumstances.
That is not ability, but ignorance.
Qi Yue hugged Mu Qingling, put a little bit of her foot, and crossed the fire below as fast as possible to avoid hurting Mu Qingling and landing on the flat bottom not far away.
"It's a pity that such a good scenery was ruined like this!"
At first glance, all the lush trees around were destroyed by the fire and turned charred. What could be seen everywhere were charred broken walls and unburned sparks.
In this hot summer, it is not a comfortable thing to have such a large stove around. Even if a breeze blows, Mu Qingling doesn't feel relaxed and happy.
"Qiyue, you said I was so bored that I thought about coming to Cheng'an Temple." Mu Qingling stared at the terrible scene in front of her and spoke expressionlessly.
Even if Qiyue had internal strength to protect her, she felt so hot that she wanted to curse herself, let alone Mu Qingling herself. Hearing this, she had to reply: "Maybe it was the wrong time for us to go out."
Mu Qingling nodded, "You are right. You must read the calendar next time you go out." At this time, Mu Qingling suddenly missed Jun Lingyi's cool body temperature.
"Mu Qingling." Behind him, a somewhat harsh sound rang out inappropriately.
Mu Qingling looked back and saw Mu Yinghan standing a few steps away, behind her was a maid protecting her from the fire. The dress on her body could be seen burning, and even the famous maid was burned. Judging from the extent, her face was probably ruined.
But even so, Mu Yinghan's condition was not much better. The hair on her forehead was burnt, and her face and clothes were all black, and several holes were burned in the hem of her skirt. Except that her face was not affected by the fire, compared with Mu Qingling's current situation, she was simply a spotless green lotus and a lotus root covered with mud.
But it was Mu Qingling who stood here intact, but she was in a mess, which aroused Mu Yinghan's dissatisfaction, "How come the third sister is here?"
Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows, "What do the fourth sister thinks that the people who can come to Cheng'an Temple are for?" She thinks that she is like her, bullying pregnant women to the temple. Didn't it be said that the ancients believed in ghosts and gods? Isn't Mu Yinghan guilty of doing this?
"Sister Three, come and burn incense." Mu Yinghan looked at Mu Qingling up and down, and then showed disdain, "I remember that your mother never believed in Buddhism. Do you think I would believe your words."
Mu Qingling shrugged indifferently, and it would be up to you whether she believed it or not. Anyway, burning incense and worshiping Buddha was not what she said.
"Sister, is it really you, the famous Miss Mo in the capital?" Mu Yinghan's expression suddenly became complicated. As a lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she never knew that her third sister had the ability to have the ability to have a fold-eared cat.
Mu Qingling said lightly: "Yes or no, the fourth sister is already clear in her heart."
Mu Yinghan gritted her teeth, "Since that's the case, why didn't you save your grandmother? You did it on purpose, right? If outsiders find out about this, you will probably not be able to escape the reputation of being unfilial, third sister."
When Mu Qingling heard Mu Yinghan's words, she suddenly felt funny. Mrs. Mu was fundamentally a selfish person. It turned out that before she got married, she did not see Mu Yinghan caring about whether Mrs. Mu was healthy. Instead, she occasionally saw the curse in Mu Yinghan's dissatisfied eyes.
"Don't the fourth sister know what the grandmother is going on. And I have already explained this to my father clearly, so I don't have to worry about it." Mu Qingling said in a voice.
Mu Yinghan said coldly: "What do you mean so nicely? I think you are intentional."
Mu Qingling was so upset by her words that she said, and slowly said, "Fourth sister, although I know some medical skills, I am not a god." So, please don't pretend to understand.
Perhaps because Mu Qingling's eyes were too obvious, Mu Yinghan understood the meaning of Mu Qingling's eyes almost instantly and said angrily: "Three sister, you opened a clinic in the capital as Miss Mo, which has already ruined the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. What's the point of being proud of? This princess doesn't believe that Prince Ning's Mansion will indulge you in the will of nonsense."
"Princess Qi, it seems that it's not your turn to interrupt the matter in Prince Ning's Mansion." Mu Qingling's failure to respond does not mean that Qi Yue can endure it with a good temper.
She actually didn't understand. Two days have passed, and the prince and the prince are still as good as the prince's concubine. Why are these people still thinking about finding fault? Can't they look at it if they have eyes?
"Ahem." When the atmosphere here was a little stiff, a violent cough came from the side.
Mu Qingling looked in the sound and saw Xie Miaotong running out of the fire under the protection of several maids, mixed with terrifying screams. There were maids and Xie Miaotong. Seeing that the fire was about to affect him, Xie Miaotong suddenly pulled the maid next to him, and the fire instantly swept the maid onto the maid. Xie Miaotong widened her eyes and looked at the scene that happened in front of her, and the maid's screams, and ran out desperately without caring about anything.
When Xie Miaotong ran out of the fire, she took a breath and looked back, the maid was covered in raging fire and screamed endlessly. Perhaps because of fear, Xie Miaotong trembled slightly and subconsciously took a step back.
Mu Qingling frowned. As the doctor's duty, she should have rescued the maid. But let's not talk about the maid's request from Xie Miaotong, will it cause other problems? Just say that Xie Miaotong's sudden action just now, it is unlikely that Qi Yue can save her.
"Concubine Xie is really good at ease. She just made that maid lose her life because of you." The maid Mu Yinghan looked carefully. She was one of Xie Miaotong's confidants and one of the dowry maids she had entered the Qi Palace.
Although Xie Miaotong's wings broke apart to make her happy, Mu Yinghan was unwilling to give up such an opportunity to hit Xie Miaotong. Especially in front of Mu Qingling, Mu Yinghan didn't want everyone to underestimate her status.
"She used her life to protect the little master of Prince Qi's mansion. After dying, she died, but she died as much as possible." Xie Miaotong calmed down and fought back without any rush.
The atmosphere between the two instantly condensed. The three words "Little Master" are like Mu Yinghan's flaw. As the main concubine, she asked a concubine to drive her away and gave birth to her eldest son before. No matter which family this happened, the position of the main wife would be difficult to stabilize. She stood among the noble ladies in the capital every day and had to lose all her face.
As if she had just noticed Mu Qingling's existence, Xie Miaotong chuckled, "Oh, isn't this Princess Ning? It's a coincidence that I'll actually see it here today."
"It's really a coincidence to see Concubine Xie." Mu Qingling pulled the corner of her lip.
Xie Miaotong stroked the belly under her dress, raised her red lips and smiled, "In the past two days, my wife has heard that Miss Mo, who was famous in the capital, is actually the prince's concubine. I think the prince's medical skills must be excellent. I wonder if the prince's concubine can take a look at her for my wife, and whether the child in my belly can be safe."
This tone did not seem to be asking Mu Qingling to ask for a peace pulse for her, but it was a bit commanding tone.
Mu Qingling glanced at the arrogant look on Xie Miaotong's face and smiled slightly, "I think there are many doctors around Concubine Xie, so why bother me to take action in person?"
Xie Miaotong glared at her eyes, "You don't want to, I'm pregnant with King Qi's eldest son. How important is my fetus..."
"What do you have to do with me?" Mu Qingling interrupted Xie Miaotong's endless chattering lightly. It was simply a joke. Jun Haoqi's child has a half-dollar relationship with her, and Xie Miaotong needs to tell her how important this child is.
"You... are so unreasonable." Xie Miaotong was so angry that it took a long time to put these words into pieces.
"Xie Fangfu, you are just a concubine, how can you get such a great face? I want my princess to take your pulse." Qi Yue replied bluntly.
Mu Qingling looked at Qiyue silently, and her eyes passed by the unsightly scene in front of her. It seemed that this happened today, Qiyue, who had always been indifferent, was a little uncomfortable.
"Where did you come from? You dare to be so rude to me!" Xie Miaotong roared in anger. It was obvious that the two words "Qiyue's concubine" in her mouth hurt her.
But Qiyue didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Before this, Xie Miaotong was just a concubine of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion. She didn't think that even if Xie Miaotong was not King Qi's concubine, she could still be so noble.
