Chapter 239: Are you tempted(2/3)
Jiang Xiangchan trembled and closed her eyes.
Mu Jinghong said again: "The incident yesterday may not be related to Concubine Ling. Before that, the Empress blocked the pace of the Imperial Hospital. My people went around in advance to stop it and were also secretly blocked by the Empress's people. I hope these words will be of some use to the Concubine."
After talking, Mu Jinghong did not stop and stood up and said goodbye.
Jiang Xiangchan and others went out before turning around and stared blankly at the direction of the palace gate.
The palace maid Shuixu walked in and whispered: "Empress, Mrs. Shangshu Ling asked for a visit."
Jiang Xiangchan raised his eyebrows.
"When I went to stop Princess Qi, Mrs. Shangshu Ling came with Princess Qi. Princess Qi said that she forced Mrs. Shangshu Ling to visit the Queen."
Jiang Xiangchan said indifferently: "Let the wife of Shangshu Ling come in, she is also kind to visit her."
The palace maid responded and went out to call Wang in.
Mu Jinghong did not leave immediately, but stood outside the hall and talked to He.
He did not reveal any strange words inside and outside the words.
Seeing that the time was not long, I said goodbye and went out.
Standing not far from Yiqian Palace, Mu Jinghong waited for a long time and finally saw Wang coming out.
Wang didn't expect that Mu Jinghong was still waiting for him here before he left. He was a little surprised.
"The Imperial Concubine is a wise person, and the Lady of Shangshu Ling doesn't have to worry too much."
"The Princess said very well, the Princess said that she had concerns about what happened yesterday."
At least on the surface, Jiang Xiangchan did not mean to blame Hua Weiling, and it is hard to know what he thought in his heart.
Mu Jinghong invited Wang to walk back together.
As soon as he left the harem, he met Chu Yu who went to see Jiang Xiangchan.
Mu Jinghong saluted neither humble nor arrogantly, and Wang hurriedly knelt down.
"Get up."
Chu Yu's deep eyes fell on Mu Jinghong's thin body.
Thank you, Mu Jinghong didn't plan to stay for too long, but heard Chu Yu ask, "But I've gone to see Concubine Ling."
Mu Jinghong was stunned, "Never."
Chu Yu's eyes were fixed on Mu Jinghong's body. The eyes were extremely explicit. Wang, who was standing behind, saw this scene very clearly, and felt a chill for Mu Jinghong for no reason.
The emperor's eyes were too obvious, and the fool could even notice a little difference.
No wonder those words were circulated so inconsistently, and the emperor was indeed more dependent on Mu Jinghong.
"Before Concubine Ling entered the palace, she met Princess Qing, and even fought with the imperial concubine. Princess Qing's chess skills were the result of fighting the talented concubine, the talented woman," Chu Yu stood here and talked to Mu Jinghong.
This made Wang even more painful.
"The emperor praised it, but it was just that the imperial concubine felt that her wife was younger and gave in to her."
"You have performed well in the Hunting Palace this time. I have heard Mrs. Lan talk about it, and you have made great contributions. I am worried about how to reward you. Now that I remember it, I will ask you, what do you want?"
If it were someone else, I would have been kneeling down and thanking you long ago.
However, Mu Jinghong said calmly: "Thank you, the wife of the wife just used the chess formation on the chess board. She luckily broke the formation for Mrs. Lan. Compared to Priest Liu's later rescue, the wife of the wife's intelligence can only delay time."
Mu Jinghong wanted to avoid Chu Yu's reward every word, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"Liu Aiqing has indeed relieved me a lot of worries, and I will reward him."
"The emperor's clear rewards and punishments are a blessing for my Northern Tang court ministers!"
The words that seemed to be complimented fell into Chu Yu's ears, which were extremely pleasant.
Mu Jinghong then found an excuse to leave the palace.
After walking away, I felt the vision behind me disappear, and Mu Jinghong's brows frowned even tighter.
Wang walked beside him, and didn't dare to say anything in the palace. He secretly glanced at Mu Jinghong and sighed slightly in his heart. The emperor's thoughts were obvious. If that were to happen, Mu Jinghong would definitely have entered the palace as a concubine.
Fortunately, it was a step slower.
Thinking about it now, it is not without benefits that Mu Jinghong marry into Prince Qi's Mansion.
If you marry into the Hua family, you may have to cause any kind of disaster. Although this is a bit wrong, Wang has to consider the entire Hua family even more.
Not to mention marrying the Hua family, she married King Qi, and the emperor was also trying to get rid of King Qi and take Mu Jinghong for himself.
The conflict between King Yu and the Emperor is a matter of time sooner or later, but the emergence of Mu Jinghong made the relationship between the two brothers worse.
The more he thought about it, Wang looked at Mu Jinghong with a little pity.
When he got on the bus, Wang sighed deeply in the car.
She also accepted the favor today.
Mu Jinghong leaned in the car, feeling a little tired and closed his eyes.
Madam Liu, who was sitting in the car, carefully observed her expression. Seeing that she closed her eyes and rested, she didn't disturb her, lifted the curtain and sat outside.
Mu Jinghong slowly opened his eyes, and there was a coolness in his eyes.
...
Three days later.
As soon as Chu Qi entered the court, he was told that he would go on a mission to Dongqi soon.
Some cabinet ministers had known about this before, but they had not really settled it. Today, the emperor suddenly settled it, and many people were caught off guard.
For example, Lu Wenqing, Liu Shukuang and others.
The matter is handed over to the Ministry of Rites for preparation, and the date is set to set for the morning after tomorrow.
Time is extremely tight.
Taiwei Gu closed his eyes slightly and stood indifferently in front of the front. He did not express any opinions on this matter. Even the Secretary of Jiang Zhongshu did not react at all, as if the matter was decided by the emperor without having to be discussed by their cabinet.
Chu Qi received the order.
After leaving the hall, Gu Taiwei and Jiang Zhongshu parted ways, and the two of them didn't even need to make peace.
After Gu Wenhua's death, the resentment of Gu Taiwei became increasingly serious. Few ministers in the court dared to make him angry. Basically, if Gu Taiwei wanted to oppose or agree with something, the people behind him would agree.
Only today's incident is a bit strange. Both the Taiwei and the Secretariat did not express their opinions. Chu Yu held the arguments throughout the whole process. Finally, he decided to decide that Chu Qi would go to Dongqi Kingdom in the name of the royal family.
The ministers in the court were all smart people. After guessing the emperor's thoughts, they secretly sweated for Chu Qi.
I hope he has the life to go and return.
"King."
Lu Wenqing called out to Chu Ji outside the hall.
"Mr. Lu has something to do?"
"This time I go to Dongqi, be careful in everything," he stood calmly in front of the palace road and bowed to Chu Qi.
Seeing this, the other ministers also stepped forward and said something nice, very perfunctory.
Chu Qi smiled and returned a bow, as if he had no awareness of the danger of the place he was about to go to. Seeing the court officials, the court officials shook their heads secretly. As expected, the king was ignorant of the danger.
Some people even maliciously thought that if they entered Dongqi with his appearance, they might be able to fascinate Dongqi's emperor and achieve their goal smoothly.
King Qi was on an envoy, and Princess Qi traveled with him.
This news came to Gu's family and could not live in peace.
I hurried past the mansion that day.
When he entered the deserted Prince's Mansion, Gu no longer had to take a look at him. He entered the empty yard and saw Mu Jinghong still in the mood to teach the maid to play chess in the pavilion, his expression was a little heavy.
"Why did my mother come suddenly?"
"If I don't come, will you go to Dongqi with King Qi?"
Gu was so anxious that he didn't pay attention to etiquette.
Mu Jinghong didn't care, so he helped Gu sit down, and then ordered the maid to give snacks.
With the left and right, there were only mother and daughter in the pavilion. Gu held Mu Jinghong's hand tightly and said, "Tell me about this matter to King Qi. With your body like you, why... "
"Mother, I decided on my own and no one asked me to go."
"What?"
Gu never thought that this was a place Mu Jinghong asked to go to, and he was a little scared.
Mu Jinghong comforted, "I have my own ideas, and my mother doesn't have to worry about me."
"How can that be done? Since it's not an arrangement, I can't go."
Gu was anxious.
Her daughter became so stubborn at some point.
