Chapter 20

Xie xuanchen recuperates in Yulin hall, so it's not convenient to talk. The female official led the way in front of her and led her to the quiet room beside the zhaixuan of Yulin hall. Jingzhai is surrounded by lush bamboos. There is a lake not far away. If you study here, it's really a quiet place. However, Mu Mingtang was brought here by the female official alone, which was a little terrible.

But it's still in the palace, which is much better than Mu Mingtang expected. She thought that the Empress Dowager wanted to take her to the palace for torture.

Mu Mingtang was surprised when he first saw Jingzhai, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Xie xuanchen's reputation is so great that he made such a big battle last night. No matter the wounded or the fire in the yard, he can't hide the whole city. Within a night, the whole city must know that King Qiyang woke up.

If at this juncture, Xie xuanchen's princess is called to the palace, once can't enter, this reputation is much more ugly. Anyway, Qiyang palace is now full of emperor's people. There is no difference between pressing questions in the palace and in the palace.

Mu Mingtang knew that he was still in the palace, and half of his heart was at ease. If she entered the palace, it would be fate. Now she is still in her own chassis, and she still has a chance to fight.

After Mu Mingtang sat down, he didn't say three words, so sun Daizhao asked his intention: "the Empress Dowager was very concerned when she heard that the prince was awake. The Empress Dowager heard that the princess was taking care of the prince during his coma, and she greatly appreciated her. Princess Qiyang, the Empress Dowager's servant girl came to ask you, when did you wake up

Whether the Empress Dowager is asking or the emperor is, in fact, making no difference. Mu Mingtang clasped his hands, hung his eyes, and did not speak. Seeing that Mu Mingtang was speechless, sun Daizhao asked, "and the chain on King Qiyang. Although the king of Qiyang had a noble status, the iron chain was added by the imperial edict issued by the former Emperor. Even the Empress Dowager does not dare to neglect the things of the former Emperor. Princess, do you think so? "

"What the Empress Dowager said is."

"The king of Qiyang fell ill again last night. The Empress Dowager and the emperor were very concerned about it. What is particularly suspicious is that the black iron chain was opened for no reason. The princess is the nearest person to the king of Qiyang. How did you untie the iron chain

Mu Mingtang closed his eyes and looked at the ground for a long time. After a while, she said, "I went to the wedding of King Jin yesterday, and I don't know."

Sun Daizhao frowned, and the other female officials were angry when they heard it. Sun Daizhao accentuated his tone and put pressure on him, saying: "Shangxuan iron chain for King Qiyang is the imperial edict issued by the former Emperor himself, and the world can't dare not follow it. The emperor has said that if someone disobeys his orders, he can turn a blind eye as long as there is a reason. However, if someone dares to defy the last emperor's will, he will never let it go. Disobeying the imperial edict is a great crime of beheading, but if the princess can relieve the worries of the palace, it is a great achievement. The princess should understand such a simple truth, right

"Maidservant asks again, Mu princess, how is the mysterious iron chain untied?"

Mu Mingtang still lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know."

Mu Mingtang clearly didn't cooperate. Several female officials were angry. Sun Daizhao brushed his sleeve and said coldly, "we came here for the sake of the princess. I didn't expect that the princess was stubborn. In this case, the princess might as well be quiet here. If she is quiet, maybe she will remember

After sun Daizhao finished, he took a group of noble and elegant female officials to go out, leaving nothing for mu Mingtang. Sitting inside, Mu Mingtang clearly heard the sound of locking outside the door.

Come on, now she's locked up, too. She and Xie xuanchen share the same room, but they share happiness and difficulties.

Mu Mingtang tried to push the door and did not move. Mu Mingtang doesn't bother to test the window. It doesn't matter whether the window is locked or not. She's in the Qiyang palace. Even if she runs out, where can she go?

If she really tried to unlock the lock, she would have fallen into the trap.

After all, she is a princess in name. Royal people should be decent in their work. It's not royal to greet her with a big stick. It seems that the people in the palace are going to shut Mu Mingtang up for a few days, ignore her and don't let her talk to others. When her mind is depressed, they will send someone out to show her kindness and power and defeat her will.

Mu Mingtang's greatest advantage is that he is open-minded. No matter what happens, he always thinks about the good. Now that there are no literate female officials, Mu Mingtang first turns the quiet room around, then finds a bed and lies down to sleep.

She was stared at by the maid all night last night. She was fighting with the big eye monster in her dreams. Now it's empty. The room is spacious and clean, just to make up for her sleep. As for panic, it's impossible.

Mu Mingtang had a good sleep until it was dark. When she got up, she found that the room was dark and there was a simple plate of rice at the door.

This is relative to the standard of the court. Anyway, for mu Mingtang, she thought the food was pretty good.

Mu Mingtang takes the meal to the table in the dark. She looks into the darkness of the room and probably understands what those female officials mean. When they left, they took away the candlelight. At night, the room was dark. They couldn't see their fingers. The big furniture was like a beast in the dark. If you're afraid of the dark, I'm afraid you'll be scared out of your wits all night.

If Mu Mingtang is an ordinary 15-year-old girl who has been held in the palm of her hand by her family, she will be afraid of the quiet studio at this time. Unfortunately, Mu Mingtang is not. After eating in the dark, she still has a good appetite. For those who have escaped, are they afraid of the dark and thunder?It's a joke.

Mu Mingtang adapted well and couldn't light the light, so she continued to lie down and go back to sleep. Once again, she sighed that it's so nice to have a rich man. In a house that has never lived before, the furniture should be complete, and even the bedding is brand new. Mu Mingtang felt the fabric on the bedding and recognized that it was a new fashion this year. In other words, it was a new one this season.

In such a large palace, all the curtains, beds, curtains and window screens are changed once a season. They are never used twice. How much does it cost in a year?

Mu Mingtang can't figure it out. She can't sleep for a moment, and thinks wildly. She always thinks that it's an outsider who is trying to squander Xie xuanchen's money. Xie xuanchen has been fighting for many years, and he has taken several emperors out of his home. Not to mention the rewards given by the emperors of Zhou and ye dynasties, it's just the booty he brought. I'm afraid it's very considerable.

Mr. Mu Mingtang has a special heart for money. Xie xuanchen looked at it and gave it up. The shopkeeper was in a coma for so long. How much money did he have to be cheated.

After thinking about it, Mu Mingtang found that she had never seen the complete Qiyang palace. She walked in the palace for only two times. On the wedding day, she looked up in red and couldn't see clearly. On the other hand, she went to see Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei's wedding. She followed the guards behind her and didn't have time to take a good look at the surrounding scenery.

Not to mention that outsiders don't take her as a princess, Mu Mingtang thinks that she is dereliction of duty as a princess. After a month of marriage, I didn't even see my family.

Mu Mingtang slowly closed her eyes. Half asleep and half awake, she still thought that if she had a chance in the future, she would have a good look at the scenery in the Qiyang palace

·

the female officials had expected that Mu Mingtang would be honest when he was kept in a small dark room for a whole day and night. As a result, two days later, Mu Mingtang ate well and drank well. He didn't look haggard at all. Instead, he slept ruddy.

Several female officials were very surprised and worried at the same time. They can't go out of the palace easily. When they go out of the palace, they have to do what the master told them anyway. The king of Qiyang hasn't woken up yet. It's convenient for them to do anything. When the murderer wakes up, it's all too late.

The imperial doctors have nothing to do with Xie xuanchen's illness, and they are not sure when Xie xuanchen will wake up. Sun Kwai was so anxious that she could blister her mouth, and only allowed herself to add some sleeping ingredients in Xie Xuan Chen's medicine. She stepped up her hands and feet and asked Mu Mingtang.

Sun Daizhao was so cruel that he didn't give Mu Mingtang any more food. Sun Daizhao thought that she was just a girl from the folk. She was short-sighted, stupid and ignorant. As the aunt in charge of the Empress Dowager's palace, she was not easy to get a girl? Sun Daizhao calculated that Mu Mingtang had been hungry for two nights for one day. Then the next night, Shi Shiran opened the lock on the gate of Jingzhai.

Suddenly light came into the door, and Mu Mingtang put out his hand to block his eyes. Sun Daizhao had expected to see a man who described himself as embarrassed and on the verge of mental collapse, but when he pushed the door in, Mu Mingtang turned pale, but his spirit was still good.

It was as if she had just changed her bed for two days, but nothing else.

Sun Daizhao couldn't believe it when she saw it. She deliberately put a lot of cruel words to frighten Mu Mingtang. At last, she asked fiercely: "the Lord has known everything for a long time. Today is your last chance. If you are honest, for the sake of your honesty, you can let bygones be bygones. If you still lie, oh, no one can save you. If you disobey the will of the late emperor, you should be beheaded according to the law. "

Mu Mingtang was not moved. If the emperor had got the evidence, as these people said, where would the emperor talk to her? She should have drunk poison wine. However, sun Daizhao still kept her locked up day by day, and as the days grew longer, sun Daizhao became more and more angry and despondent.

It can be seen that the emperor is only guessing. He needs evidence, and evidence to keep Xie xuanchen locked up. Xie Yi did ask people to lock Xie xuanchen up, and said that no one could open it without his order. But it's just an angry word. When Xie Yi's anger is gone, how can he treat his own son like this.

But who knows that Xie Yi died suddenly, strangely and abruptly, leaving behind an inexplicable imperial edict. Instead of passing the throne to his son, he passed it to his younger brother. When Xie Yi dies, Xie xuanchen's brand chain becomes a headless case. On the pretext that the will of the former Emperor cannot be changed, Xie Rui still confines Xie xuanchen with peace of mind, and quietly uses drugs to make Xie xuanchen sleep day by day.

If you spend a long time, you can always kill Xie xuanchen.

As a result, the whole royal family based on the fig leaf, Mu Mingtang was torn apart. Xie xuanchen's chain is untied, and the emperor will be instructed by people all over the world when he locks it back. So he is really flustered and can only start from Mu Mingtang and try to pry words from Mu Mingtang.

As long as Mu Mingtang said something, the emperor could always use the excuse to try to shut Xie xuanchen up again. But mu Mingtang is neither the capital grew up, nor naive Miss Jiao, she bite dead do not say, no matter how to ask, said he did not know.

Thanks to Xie Xuanji, the emperor's good son. That day, Mu Mingtang was invited to the wedding. At the wedding banquet, so many people saw Mu Mingtang. There is a lot of hard evidence that Mu Mingtang is not in the Qiyang palace. What if during the time when Mu Mingtang left the house, some strange person sneaked in and untied the chain?Can't completely rule out this kind of possibility, anyway Mu Mingtang insists that he doesn't know, even if she starves to death, she doesn't change her words. Mu Mingtang assured that the emperor did not dare to starve her to death.

When sun Daizhao saw that Mu Mingtang's oil and salt did not enter, and that he did not eat hard or soft food, he was completely annoyed. Instead of being courteous, she asked for two plates.

When the lid was lifted, there was a red cloth bag on a plate with silver needles on it. There is a bowl of black soup on the other plate. I'm afraid it's not tonic.

Mu Mingtang is still silent, quietly watching sun Daizhao. She had not eaten for nearly two days, and now she was pale, and her lips were not bloody, and she was weak as a discerning eye could see. Even so, she did not show any panic and fear.

Sun Daizhao showed two things in front of Mu Mingtang and introduced them one by one: "this set of needles is used by Si zhengju to teach those concubines or maids who don't know what to do. This kind of needle will not leave scars on the body, and the eye of the needle is small. It will be invisible after a while, so it can be safely applied to the maid of honor. The women in the palace are all from the emperor. If they leave scars on their bodies, they will be hurt. But those women who can't carry them clearly don't have a long memory. Generally, this kind of person is sent to the Secretary's Bureau. If he asks once but doesn't say it, he will prick his hand first. If he doesn't ask twice, it will be on his waist. If he doesn't ask three times, we can't care about the dignity of the Lord. We can only strip our clothes and discipline him. "

When sun Daizhao saw that Mu Mingtang's face was getting paler, she deliberately pulled out a three inch needle to show it, and then asked someone to present another plate.

"On it is the medicine of pure body, which is specially prepared for the master who has not been pregnant. Some owners are afraid of pain and don't want to have children. This bowl of medicine will ensure that you won't be pregnant again in your life. Princess Mu was young. She didn't want to show her these filthy things, but she refused to cooperate again and again. I can't, I can only ask for these things. Princess mu, choose one. "

……

Xie xuanchen had a long dream. In the dream, his mother was still alive. Mrs. Yin stood at the door with a lamp and looked eagerly. Every time a car or a horse passes by the intersection, she has to look forward to it for a long time.

The maid kept persuading Mrs. Yin to go back to the house, but she shook her head. Xie xuanchen from the barracks to play enough to go home, went to the intersection to see his mother waiting at the door, immediately turned and left.

However, just for a moment, Mrs. Yin had recognized him. Mrs. Yin immediately called his name, and the servant girl also called. Xie xuanchen had no choice but to turn back and go to see his mother.

His brother had a rash when he was a child and didn't survive. From then on, his mother looked at him just like a flower. She was afraid that he would catch cold when the wind blew. Xie xuanchen can't stand a woman's greasy, everyday while his mother is unprepared, over the wall to Guo Fu to play.

Guo Rong has loved him since he was a child. He is closer than his son. Xie xuanchen is confident that he can make a mess in Guo's house for a day. Xie Yi looks angry and comes back to scold him. Later, Guo Rong became more and more busy, and his father was away all day. Xie xuanchen had nothing to play with in Guo Fu, so he simply followed Guo Rong and Xie Yi to the barracks.

Mrs. Yin had only two children. When her eldest son died, she cried heartbroken. After that, she was very careful with her younger son, for fear that he might have some problems. Xie xuanchen ran to the barracks with the adults, where can Mrs. Yin rest assured. She wants to detain Xie xuanchen at home, but in a flash, the boy runs over the wall again.

The whole family couldn't see him. Every time Xie xuanchen ran around, Mrs. Yin couldn't let go. She had to stand at the door and see Xie xuanchen come back with her own eyes. When Xie Yi comes back, he learns that his mother has been waiting for him at the door for a long time. He is always so angry that he has to find a way out.

His childhood and youth are not warm, at least far from the beautiful family imagined by people. He is always scolded half of the year. But on the whole, he had a dignified and serious father, a gentle and beautiful mother. Although his life was not honeypot, he never worried about foreign things.

At that time, Xie xuanchen's youth was full of energy. I've been staying with the rough guys in the barracks for a long time, and I always want to do something big. So in the fifth year of Heping, that is, the first year of Hongjia, Guo Rong and Xie Yi were ordered to fight against Guangjin. Xie Yi, who was 15 years old, took a knife and a horse and went after his father and uncle Guo's army.

He ran away from home, naturally secretly, carrying Mrs. Yin behind his back. Later, Xie xuanchen regretted many times why he left and why he left his mother alone in the capital.

He didn't even say goodbye to his mother before he left.

Guo Rong and Xie Yi won a great victory, but the army stopped in Yecheng and did not return to Korea. Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty was suspicious of Guo Rong, but now he is even more suspicious of his intention to rebel. Emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty was angry and ordered to kill the families of Guo and Xie.

Guo and Xie's families, servants and even babies were all alive. When the news reached Yecheng, Guo Rong was furious and raised the anti flag to fight against the immoral emperor of the later Jin Dynasty.

It was in this war that Xie xuanchen finally won the approval of Xie Yi and Guo Rong and formally led the army. Xie xuanchen made great contributions to the capital, and even later emperor Gong abandoned his palace to escape. It was Xie xuanchen who chased him and sent him to huangquan.

Xie xuanchen killed emperor Gong of the later Jin Dynasty and avenged his mother, but Mrs. Yin never came back. With the father son relationship between Xie xuanchen and Xie Yi, they can't even meet peacefully without Mrs. Yin.The place where my mother is is is home. When my mother is away, the home will be scattered.

The person in my memory who would light the light and wait for him to go home no longer exists.

Xie xuanchen's dream is broken and confused. He dreams that when he was a child, his mother chased him to tie a safety knot for him. He dreams that he had been rolling with mud all day in the military camp. When he got home, he happened to see his mother waiting for him at the door. Clearly said many times, he will only let others have an accident, he will never have an accident, but Mrs. Yin still can't let go.

The gentle and beautiful lady in the dream gradually blurred and became another young woman with a lamp. She came from a distance, lighting up the lights along the road. She was very attentive when she turned to light the lamp, with stars in her eyes and bright lights behind her.

Xie xuanchen saw the things when he was crazy again in his dream. When he is manic, he doesn't realize what he is doing, but his brain will selflessly record everything, so that he can see his ugly appearance again and again in his dream.

In the past, when he fell into a frenzy, all he could see was red, flowing and fiery red. He stood alone in the center and was scolded by thousands of people. Only this time, he saw a man running away from the crowd in the crowd.

She said, "you're just sick. Just go back to sleep. Let's go home. "

After Mrs. Yin died, no one told him to go home. Guo Rong marries another woman. Xie Yi helps her concubine. Xie Rui's family moves from Lin'an to Beijing. Everyone has a new family, but he is alone.

When Xie xuanchen wakes up from his dream, his ears seem to be echoing Mu Mingtang's "going home". When he opened his eyes, he thought he would hear Mu Mingtang's surprise voice, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

He slowly stood up, thinking that she had gone to light the light again? Xie xuanchen's movement startled the servant girl outside. The servant girl came in and saw him wake up. She was so scared that she dropped the medicine bowl: "the Lord is awake!"
