Fate with you

Perhaps it was hurt by His Majesty's indifferent eyes, that night, Mu Sheng had a dream.

The dream is not colorful, only black and white, and even the sun that is shining with warm light is a gloomy gray.It was the cemetery of Pei's family. She had visited it once when she was a child to send her grandfather to rest.

She floated in mid-air, watching everything that happened like an outsider with cold eyes.His Majesty was wearing a black crown robe, and she sharply saw a small piece of mourning dress made of raw linen protruding from her collar.Everyone was immersed in the grief of the loss of a loved one, no one noticed, only she looked up and down, and it was clear.Your Majesty's work is Qi Shuai. When his wife passed away, the husband and son-in-law wore mourning clothes made of raw linen for his wife and wore mourning clothes for one year.She couldn't mourn for her openly, so she had to wear it inside.

The father was holding the tablet of the mother, and her tablet was in the hands of the elder brother. The elder brother was weeping unceasingly, his handsome face was full of tears, and the father was also full of grief, and he needed Pei Ming's support to stand up.His Majesty walked aside, expressionless, until the two tombs and two catalpas were buried, her eyes revealed deep sorrow, and her hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, as if suppressing great grief with anger.

The servants of the Pei family used shovels to fill the tomb with shovels of loess, gradually forming a mound. His Majesty watched numbly, watching the luxurious and heavy coffin being buried deep in the soil.My brother and uncles stood together, they depended on each other, my father was served by Pei Ming, he wasn't too sad at all, His Majesty was alone, there were countless attendants behind her, but no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, she was alone.

Mu Sheng struggled to get out of this black and white picture, the restrained appearance of His Majesty in the dream was really distressing.She sat up, poured a glass of cold water to drink, and the chill spread from her stomach to her whole body. She finally woke up a little bit, but the inexplicable guilt and distress in her heart could not be relieved.His Majesty owns the world and is rich all over the world, so why should he be obsessed with someone who is not worthy of her.

Because of this guilt and heartache, Mu Sheng decided to be softer and more frank with her when His Majesty summoned her two days later.

Only three days later, Mu Sheng went to Hanfeng Palace again, and Mu Sheng was still extremely cautious.After entering, he still kowtows.

Meng Xiuyi didn't review the memoir at the moment, she was playing with the jade flute quite comfortably, and when she saw her coming, she didn't raise her head, as if she was treating a humble ant with indifference: "Get up."

Mu Sheng stood up and respectfully stood aside, waiting for her to ask a question, she had already decided to obey His Majesty as much as possible so as not to make her angry.

"What's the relationship between you and the Di family?" Meng Xiuyi drove straight in without turning back.Mu Sheng was startled, and looked at the emperor with a guilty conscience, did she find anything?Mu Sheng was terrified, forced himself to be calm, pinched his palms, and replied cautiously: "The minister consulted Di Gong two days ago."

"That's all?"

"That's all." Mu Sheng replied firmly.The hall suddenly became quiet, and after a while there was a crisp sound of emerald jade colliding with sandalwood. Meng Xiuyi put the jade flute on the table, and looked at Mu Sheng incredulously, as if she was a girl who refused to change after repeated admonition. of the hopeless.Mu Sheng made her look timid, and asked unconsciously: "Why, what's the matter?"

Meng Xiuyi shook his head and said, "Do you want to kneel under the sun for an afternoon?"

Mu Sheng swallowed her saliva, recalled that not-so-good afternoon, and apologized hurriedly.

"Just to remind you, if you don't tell the truth again, I will kill you immediately." Meng Xiuyi said indifferently, his eyes were full of indifference, and there was imperceptible impatience in his tone.

She was serious, Mu Sheng knew that whenever she showed such a look, it was extremely displeased.Once her reply does not meet her expectations, or if she thinks she is still covering up, she will kill her immediately.Suddenly, it seemed as if a pair of bone-ridden hands were strangling her throat, Mu Sheng's heartbeat suddenly increased, how would she answer?

Meng Xiuyi changed his posture, leaning sideways on the hidden pouch behind him, looking at Mu Sheng who was kneeling in front of her, as if looking at a dying person.

Mu Sheng quickly reassured, she connected the encounters of the past few days, trying to find a statement that fit Mu Mu Sheng's identity, and soon, she found it.She quickly thought about how to speak in her mind, and replied respectfully: "The reason why I consulted Di Gong is because Di Sanye came to invite him personally, and the reason why Di Sanye came to my door is because a month ago, The minister once handed a famous card to Di Fu."

Meng Xiuyi listened with a calm expression on his face.Mu Sheng continued: "The reason why I handed over the famous stab to the Di family is because I have something that I have been hiding in my heart for two years, and I need to confess it to the Di family."

Seems to finally pique her interest, Meng Xiuyi nodded: "Well, let's go on."

"It's related to Mrs. Pei's death two years ago." Mu Sheng raised her head. After saying this, she noticed the change in His Majesty's expression. She needed to know whether His Majesty knew about the strangeness of Pei Zhao's death.An Guogong said that Pei Zhao died suddenly due to illness, but this cannot be hidden from His Majesty, because they met each other that day.

Meng Xiuyi noticed her searching gaze, and said, "Keep talking, don't stop."

Not seeing any subtle changes, Mu Sheng had to give up, and continued: "According to my speculation, Mrs. Pei's death was not due to excessive grief, she died of poisoning. I saw a doctor for my wife two years ago. The government then hired another imperial physician. The minister was suspicious, but because he was involved in the private affairs of other people's family, and another imperial physician had already treated his wife, he kept the matter in his heart until Mrs. Pei passed away suddenly a few months later. It doesn't feel right."

When she said this, she paused for a while, and then said again: "Grand An Guo is the chief minister, he is powerful and unscrupulous, and my ministers are afraid of being victimized. I have never dared to speak, but I have always been restless, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help it... "The latter words are enough to make people understand.

She stopped talking, and Meng Xiuyi didn't open her mouth. After a long time, Meng Xiuyi said, "The power is so powerful? It seems that Bo Qing is not only restless all the time, but also dislikes the prime minister. You still doubt that Was the poison given by the slaughterer?"

Mu Sheng was silent, she wanted to plant the seeds of jealousy of An Guogong in His Majesty's heart, so she thought about her words, but forgot that the emotions revealed by a person's words can just explain the person's position.Now that the matter has come to this, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, Mrs. Pei is the mistress of the Pei family. There are only a few people who can put medicine in her diet, and the slaughter is the most suspicious."

"Well, it makes sense." His Majesty seemed to appreciate it, but he didn't say whether he agreed or not.Then, she glanced at Mu Sheng, and said happily: "Bo Qing made me unhappy again today, go outside and kneel for three hours to apologize."

Mu Sheng: "..." Maybe it's you who is talking about Yinqing!

With the pot broken, she simply asked the doubt in her heart: "Why does Your Majesty know that I have contacts with the Di family?" She only went to the doctor once, so how did she know?

Meng Xiuyi became very talkative, and immediately answered her questions: "I saw you standing at the entrance of the alley that day, acting suspiciously and sneakily, and you didn't look like a good person, so I asked someone to investigate."

Mu Sheng: "..." Suspicious and sneaky... She clearly feels sorry for her loneliness and pity.It's really unreasonable!Suppressing her grief and anger, she retreated slowly and got up, resigned to her fate and knelt under the sun.

Fortunately, this time there is a clear time, instead of the illusory "wait for me to be happy", there is a goal, and it is much less tormented than last time.

Three hours later, it was night, and the palace gate had already been locked.Thinking that before she came, she asked someone to bring a message home, saying that she would stay at the Imperial Medical Office today and would not go back, Mu Sheng had to sigh that she was really good at predicting things.Fortunately, she wanted to be honest with His Majesty and Ruan before she came. Facts have proved that this noble king in Jiuque doesn't need it at all. Except for the flattery and soft words from Pei Zhao, she is already so strong that she doesn't need anyone's support. pity.

Mu Sheng has an indescribable taste, full of disobedience and discomfort... It is clear that she is Pei Zhao.

Three hours later, Mu Sheng was helped into the hall still dripping with sweat and embarrassed.

Meng Xiuyi held an ice bowl with his slender five fingers, enjoying it leisurely.Seeing her come in, he still had a conscience and said: "Give her water."

The palace man offered a glass of water, but Mu Sheng was not polite and drank it all in one go.The knee hurts so badly, it didn't heal last time, and this time it happened again, His Majesty is really against her, I really want to hang on the crown as freely and freely as the Prime Minister thanked her back then, never to see her again.

Meng Xiuyi clicked his tongue: "Bo Qing's appearance is really pleasing to the eye." It was like teasing a weak plaything.

Mu Sheng had a look of lovelessness: "As long as His Majesty likes it."

"I didn't say that I like it. Bo Qing really knows how to judge the king's heart."

what to do?At this time, should she kneel down and say, "I am afraid, I will die"?Mu Sheng felt that if she met the saint a few more times, her life would be handed over to Hanfeng Palace.Out of nostalgia for life, Mu Sheng knelt down spinelessly.

Meng Xiuyi looked at this seemingly gentle and obedient girl who was actually stubborn and stubborn, and said slowly, "There is one thing I want you to know. The imperial doctor who will replace you to see Mrs. Pei is Liao Hai. "

Mu Sheng was taken aback, why did His Majesty tell her this?His Majesty was not surprised at all when he mentioned Mrs. Pei's death just now, she already knew about it?So at this time, it was Liao Hai who told her to replace her to treat her mother, just to point out to her that the reason why Liao Hai wanted to kill her was because she knew that Mrs. Pei's death was unusual, so she wanted to silence her?

Seeing her change of expression, Meng Xiuyi knew that she understood, and she said: "Qing, step back."

Until Mu Sheng came out of Hanfeng Hall in a daze, she was still a little confused.Your Majesty didn't need to tell her, but why did he say it again?Mu Sheng looked back at the Jianzhang Palace built on a high platform, as if towering into the sky, sighed and shook her head, no wonder everyone is unpredictable.

Back at the imperial medical office, it happened that the imperial doctor Zhao was on duty at night, this time he didn't ask any questions, he went to get the plaster, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has been in this imperial medical office for more than ten years, the first time I see you You are such an unlucky doctor."

Mu Sheng smiled, and said frankly: "Maybe in a few days I will annoy His Majesty to resign and return to the field. At that time, I would like to ask Imperial Physician Zhao not to begrudge a glass of wine to see him off."

She was always easy-going and amiable, Imperial Physician Zhao laughed and said: "Naturally." Putting down the plaster, she backed out.
