"Please princess, please save this slave!"
Mayfair cried, her voice full of pain and helplessness.
She raised her head and looked at Mu Nanxi with her eyes that were once full of vitality.
Linglong looked at the bruises at the corners of her mouth, her face had become so haggard, her originally delicate skin had turned yellow and dry, withering like fallen leaves in late autumn, making her unable to believe what she was seeing.
Isn't this the same envoy who was arrogant in front of Duke Jingguo's palace that day when the princess came back?
"Princess." Linglong called softly. She still had to seek Mu Nanxi's opinion on whether to expel or keep this person.
"What's wrong? Get up and speak slowly." Mu Nanxi's voice was very soft, so soft that no one could hear her emotions.
Linglong stepped forward and wanted to help the person up from the ground, but Feier refused and continued to kneel on the ground.
Mayfair's tears rolled down her cheeks and her voice choked up, "It's the eldest girl. The beauty cream that the princess gave to the slave was discovered by the eldest girl. She believed that the slave had stolen the master's things, so she punished the slave to do the most menial work in the courtyard. As long as the big girl The girl feels unhappy, so she orders the slave to be beaten!"
"The husband has a new daughter-in-law. The old lady who was serving the eldest lady ran away privately. The eldest lady became even more angry. Because of the relationship between the eldest lady and the eldest lady, the slave has a lot of contact with the old lady on weekdays. Who would have thought that it would be so big? The lady actually accused the slave of assisting Mrs. Wang in escaping, and made the slave kneel in the courtyard every day and slap her for fifty times. The slave really couldn’t bear it anymore, so she came to beg the princess!”
"I know that when the princess was in the palace in the past, I often helped the eldest girl to embarrass the princess, but I have no choice but to obey! Please ignore the past grudges and save the slave!"
Mu Nanxi glanced lightly at Fei'er, who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, with a sharp edge hidden in her eyes.
In the past, she relied on Mu Wanjing's fake power, but now she actually dared to beg her.
But that's exactly what she wanted!
"How do you want me to help you? As the female envoy of Duke Jingguo, what position do I have to help you?"
"Princess, please have mercy on this slave. As long as the princess can take away the slave's deed from the Jingguo Palace, the slave will die because of the princess!" Feier replied sincerely, knocking her head heavily on the cold and hard hand. On the floor, the sound was crisp and hollow.
"If you can do something for me, it won't be difficult to rescue you from the Jingguo Palace." Mu Nanxi's tone was calm, her eyes were sharp and calm, as if she could see through everything.
She glanced at Fei'er gently, and Fei'er felt that her thoughts were completely seen through, as if she had been stripped naked and helpless.
"If the princess has any orders, just give them instructions!" Feier quickly expressed her loyalty, her tone was firm and urgent.
She kowtowed repeatedly, with tears in her eyes and tears of gratitude.
She knew that as long as Mu Nanxi said a word, she could leave this place, this place full of pain and humiliation.
"Get up and I will tell you what to do."
Fei'er quickly stood up and stood in front of Mu Nanxi. She was careful to maintain a respectful posture.
Mu Nanxi leaned forward and handed a small porcelain bottle into Fei'er's hands.
The porcelain bottle was warm, as if it still had the warmth of Mu Nanxi's palm.
Mu Nanxi leaned slightly closer to her ear and whispered: "Inside this porcelain bottle is... you only need to..."
Fei'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, her eyes filled with shock.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth, clutched the porcelain bottle, turned and left.
Mu Nanxi continued to walk towards the study. When she was still some distance away from the study, the faint whimpering coming from there made her pause.
She listened carefully, that was not her mother's voice!
"Mu Qing, how dare you, an old man, hurt my mother!" When Mu Nanxi heard this voice, her heart trembled, and her pace became hurried.
"Princess, wait for me!" Linglong felt that everything was uncertain, but the princess was suddenly stimulated by something unknown. She cursed Duke Jing and rushed out.
Mu Nanxi quickly came to the study door, raised his foot without hesitation, and kicked it with all his strength.
"Bang!"
The door opened in response.
The two people in the study and Mu Nanxi looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and they were all stunned, with shock beyond words.
Linglong hurriedly caught up with Mu Nanxi and stood beside Mu Nanxi, breathing heavily.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Duke Jingguo lying on the ground in the study. A woman who looked to be in her late forties was riding on his waist. The two of them held hands tightly and their faces were red.
All this happened so suddenly that even Wang Wu, who was standing guard outside the study, couldn't help but be stunned by the scene inside.
Mu Qing came to his senses, pushed the woman on him away, and got up from the ground.
While he was adjusting his robes, he angrily yelled at the palace outside the door: "Kick out the irrelevant people!"
Wang Wu hurriedly dragged Linglong away and waited outside the courtyard from a distance.
Mu Nanxi's mother, Chu Ning, was sitting on the ground with disheveled clothes and messy hair. Her hands were still holding Duke Jing Guo's hand tightly. The blush on her face had not faded, and she was looking at Mu Qing blankly.
Mu Qing felt disgusted in his heart when he saw the woman's appearance.
Mu Nanxi stepped forward and helped her mother up. She looked around carefully to make sure there were no injuries on her mother's body before she felt relieved.
"What were you doing just now!" Mu Nanxi asked in a low voice in Chu Ning's ear with a glance at her eyebrows.
Chu Ning looked at her daughter blankly, her thoughts seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now.
"I was just asking him if he had never loved me..." Chu Ning's voice was trembling and hollow.
ah?
Mu Nanxi had never heard of it, let alone seen it. How could he still ask in this way?
"That's enough!" Mu Qing suddenly shouted, his face was livid, his eyes were full of disgust and anger.
Mu Qing glanced at Mu Nanxi coldly, "Give me the things! Take her out of the house!"
"When you get to the gate of the mansion, I will naturally give you the defense plan."
Mu Qing frowned, snorted coldly, and reminded: "You can call her your nanny to the outside world. She has taken care of you and raised her. She just returned to the capital in the past few days."
"Remember that her identity must not be revealed in front of others, otherwise it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor! You and I will be beheaded to apologize!"
"I know the stakes of this matter, father doesn't need to say anything."
Mu Nanxi supported her mother and walked out step by step. The blow Chu Ning had just experienced made her walk stiffly as if she were lost. Her eyes were dull and her face was pale.
Mu Nanxi held her tightly, a flash of pain in her eyes.
She didn't understand. She didn't understand why she was heartbroken because of a man who didn't love her.
Arriving in front of the mansion, Mu Nanxi ordered Linglong to help Chu Ning onto the carriage first, while she and Mu Qing stood in the shadow of the sycamore tree in the front yard.
She checked around where no one was paying attention, then took out the defense map from her arms and handed it into Mu Qing's hands.
Mu Qing opened the defense map, looked at the entire map, and remembered every detail in his mind.
"Father, can you remember to hurry up? I have to put this thing back where it belongs."
Perhaps a major event had been settled, and Mu Qing was finally willing to show a happy expression in front of Mu Nanxi.
"You have done a good job in this matter. Remember not to let the prince discover anything strange. If the prince discovers anything, you should report it to the house immediately."
Mu Qing handed the defense map back to Mu Nanxi, then turned back to the study and began to recite the contents of the map one by one.
At the same time, Linglong drove the carriage back to the palace with the princess and the nanny she called her.
Zui Chun Tower.
After Rongfeng secretly escorted the person back to the palace, he turned to Zuichun Tower, a teaching workshop located in the center of the capital.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the weak light shines through the exquisite lanterns, illuminating the entire hall like a dream.
In the center of the hall is a huge stage, which is covered with bright velvets and ribbons, accompanied by melodious musical instruments, adding a romantic and mysterious atmosphere to the entire Zuichun Building.
Walking along the hall, you will see a group of well-dressed courtesans and talented ladies. They were wearing various colorful clothes, gold and silver jewelry on their heads, holding pipa and zither in their hands, and were talking and laughing happily.
Rongfeng found a room in the corner of the third floor, knocked on the door and entered.
"Your Majesty, the princess has brought her back to the palace safely."
Qi Zhiheng said softly "Hmm" and raised his hand to signal the person to step back to his side.
"The slave family has recently obtained a new song called "Autumn Wind", which is a wonderful composition. The slave family will play another piece for the prince and Mr. Song." Du Xingshou's voice was soft and soft, like the lingering wind in the south of the Yangtze River.
She wears a warm white sling, a floral mist lake blue pleated skirt, and a long blue smoked gauze gown. Her graceful figure is looming, with gold leaf petals on her forehead, pink lips, and peach blossom cheeks, all kinds of charm. For the rest of his life, people can't take their eyes away.
"Oh? To be praised by Du Xingshou, it must be a good song by Duan!"
Song Bojian put down the cup in his hand, sat down and waited.
Du Xingshou chuckled and his eyes quietly passed over Qi Zhiheng's body.
She picked up the piano and placed it on her knees, her jade fingers gently slid across the strings, and the sound of the piano floated out, carrying a wisp of autumn sadness.
Qi Zhiheng's eyes trembled slightly, remembering Mu Nanxi's smile while playing the piano at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace that day.
Song Bojian sat quietly aside, watching Du Xingshou's every move intently. The sound of the piano reminded him of the good old days.
"Great song!"
He sighed in his heart, this Du Xingshou is indeed a wonderful person, he can integrate emotions into the sound of the piano, making people intoxicated.
When Du Xingshou heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked at Qi Zhiheng, only to see him wandering in his mind. He couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.
She gently withdrew her gaze and continued to play the song "Autumn Wind Ci".
The sound of the piano is melodious, the meaning of the words is lingering, the lines of autumn water are long in the sky, and the songs of lovesickness are expressed.
The sound of the piano fell slowly, and Song Bojian clapped his hands repeatedly: "This music only exists in heaven, how many times can you hear it in the world!"
Du Xingshou chuckled: "Young Master Song is so complimentary."
She slowly stood up and walked to Qi Zhiheng's side, leaning forward to refill his drink.
Her hair hung slightly on his shoulders, carrying an alluring fragrance.
Seeing this scene, Song Bojian felt moved in her heart and joked: "Why does Du Xingshou only refill the wine for the prince and ignore my bottomed cup?"
