Pihanjin - Chapter 22

After Mu Fulan went in, she said a few words to Mu’s mother who greeted her, and then went back to the room.

The maid knew that she had the habit of changing clothes when she came back from going out, so she quickly picked up a set of clothes she used to wear without any instructions.

After Mu Fulan turned to the screen beside the bed, with the help of the maid, in addition to the coat, she was left with a piece of heart.

The soft red body-colored fabric tightly wrapped her body, leaving only a white back and two arms exposed, and a moon-white single skirt was tied under it.

She was a little absent-minded, bowed her head, and hung a section of her fair and greasy neck, thinking about her own thoughts, and stretched her arms to put on clothes.

The arm was only tucked into the sleeve, and the door of the house was suddenly pushed open.

She turned around and saw Xie Changgeng coming straight in.

Unexpectedly, when she was changing clothes and his eyes fell on her, his footsteps stopped abruptly and stopped abruptly by the screen.

The maids hurriedly turned to greet him.

He neither continued to step in, nor retreated, but stopped there, opened his mouth, and ordered people to go out.

Seeing that he looked bad, the maids looked at Mu Fulan, and seeing that she did not object, they bowed and walked out.

Mu Fulan returned to her senses, turned her face, still turned her back to him, put on her clothes, covered the front of her clothes, and fastened her belt.

He is trying his best to restrain his emotions, but his face is stiff, his eyes are dark, and there are dark waves in his eyes.

She was all too familiar with Xie Changgeng. Others can’t see him like this, but she knows it at a glance.

He is very angry now.

Something bad must have happened to me.

With her back to him, she ran through the things that might have made him so angry.

Was it leaked about his meeting with Zhang Ban during the day?

Or let him know the existence of Xi’er who calls him his mother?

If it were these two things, it was indeed possible to provoke such anger from him.

But she quickly denied it.

She did these two things very carefully, even if there were mistakes, they would never be noticed by him so quickly.

But what if it was anything else?

Slender finger fastened her belt, and she turned slowly towards him.

The two stood opposite each other, only a few steps apart.

She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at him, just as she was about to test him, Xie Changgeng had already opened her mouth and said word by word, “Mister Mu, if you want to reconcile, then your wish will be fulfilled!”

“I’ll put the book for you now, so as not to hinder the good things between you and the person you love. In broad daylight, everyone is watching, how dare you come to teach and receive like this!”

After he finished speaking, he threw a piece of paper that looked like a letterhead at her face to face, turned around and walked away, the figure disappeared quickly with the sound of footsteps.

The paper fell to the ground at her feet.

Mu Fulan was startled, then bent down and picked it up.

It was indeed a letterhead with a letter to her on it. There is no signature, but at a glance at the content of the letter, you know that it is from the hand of Zhao Xitai, the prince of Qi.

Zhao Xitai said that he was able to meet her again at Huguo Temple yesterday. Just last night, I told him to overhear the conversation between his father, King Qi, and his staff. He learned that Empress Liu was only temporarily moving from Changsha, and he would send a letter to her, telling her to remember to remind her. the king to guard against.

He said he was very worried about her current condition. Xie Changgeng was born in a giant bandit, a humble person, and has no shame. Now that he has become the murderous knife in the hands of Liu Hou, the villain gains power, and sooner or later, she will be abandoned like a broom and cannot be relied on.

Zhao Xitai finally said that if she encounters difficulties in the future, she must let him know. No matter what, he will do his best to help her.

After Mu Fulan read the letter, after a little thought, she understood.

The person who came out and claimed to deliver the letter to Princess Qi was actually sent by Zhao Xitai.

Before sending a letter with such content, Zhao Xitai should have repeatedly told him to avoid Xie Changgeng and deliver it to himself.

No wonder that man didn’t dare to take out the letter when he saw that Xie Changgeng was back, and ran away immediately.

Mu Fulan didn’t have time to think about how this letter ended up in Xie Changgeng’s hands again.

Holding the letter, she stood there, fascinated.

Although Zhang Ban’s assistance is already available, to be honest, she is not entirely sure whether this matter can be solved smoothly with Zhang Ban’s strength like the last crisis in Changsha.

What happened this time was different from last time, with the variable Xie Changgeng in the middle.

He is his husband, and Empress Liu wants to hold herself hostage. No matter what the consideration is, she will definitely mention it in front of him and ask him to express his attitude.

For him, this matter was a matter of safety and even life and death, but for Xie Changgeng, it was nothing, nothing, and had no direct interest in him.

Based on intuition, Mu Fulan concluded that Cao Jin was Xie Changgeng’s person. There are such a pair of eyes and ears in the palace, Zhang Ban speaks for himself, I am afraid he can’t hide Xie Changgeng. If he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, Zhang Ban should be able to accomplish things, and he could escape smoothly.

But if he is dissatisfied with himself, or even resentful, and deliberately obstructs it, even if Zhang Ban comes forward to change the world for him, I am afraid it will not be effective.

A few days ago, while she was thinking about how to use Zhang Ban, she was also thinking about how to solve this variable.

She did not expect Xie Changgeng to speak for herself in front of Empress Liu. As long as he doesn’t obstruct Zhang Ban when he helps him solve the problem.

In the days when she just came back, she was driven by full of grief and hatred, and all she wanted was to get rid of him as soon as possible and never see him again in this life.

But as the situation continued to change, she slowly began to realize something. Based on her relationship with him, considering his current status and the status quo of Changsha, many things she wanted to do were actually impossible to bypass him completely.

Blind hostility and taking it for granted that we will never meet again in this life will not solve the problem.

She needs to rebuild her relationship with him.

For her, this was extremely offensive. But she has to face it and accept it.

Just on the way back from seeing Zhang Ban today, she was still thinking about how to break the deadlock with him. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

It looks bad, and it makes things worse. He was dissatisfied with himself, because this letter was probably at its peak, and he even said the words of agreement and separation just now.

But on the other hand, isn’t this a good opportunity?

Mu Fulan thought for a moment and quickly made up his mind.

She promised Xi’er, who had just returned to her side, to go back to be with him as soon as possible.

She can’t be held here.

…

It had been many years since he killed his father for his father’s anger when he was fourteen years old and took the risk, no matter what happened, Xie Changgeng had never been so angry that his emotions were so out of control.

It wasn’t because of what he said about himself in that letter. If he cared about these things, he wouldn’t be able to sit in the position he is today.

What made him angry was the strong hostility and repeated betrayal and humiliation that the Mu family had cast on him.

It used to be nothing more than a marriage contract concluded out of the exchange of interests of both parties. Since she obeyed her father’s order and married herself against her will, it is not surprising that she had been infidelity before marriage.

But now, people are in the capital and all eyes are on her, but she doesn’t know how to restrain herself. First she met at Huguo Temple, but in one night, she got that Zhao Xitai to write her such a secret letter. Mianmian, unscrupulous, to this point.

When Xie Changgeng arrived at the study, he picked up a pen and wrote a book on Zhang Fang’s wife.

After writing the last word, his five fingers holding the pen exerted force, and with a slight “click” sound, the wooden and tough ebony pen in his hand was broken into two pieces.

He cast a broken pen, got up and walked to the window, pushed the window and stood outside. After a while, his expression finally calmed down.

He went back to the table and was about to call someone to send her what he had written when he heard two knocks on the door.

He raised his eyes and saw that the door was pushed open, and a figure stood outside the door.

Mr. Mu actually came by himself, stepped over the threshold, and walked towards him.

He pushed the paper towards her and then walked away.

“Xie Lang stay!”

A call came from behind.

He didn’t seem to hear it.

Mu Fulan chased after him.

Xie Changgeng stopped and watched coldly as she came to block his way, and said, “Ms. Mu, I have written what you want. I’ll do it myself in the future.”

He raised his foot and walked away, but his sleeve was held by someone again.

He stopped, looked at the hand she stretched out to hold his sleeve in surprise, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

Mu Fulan let go of her hand, didn’t look at the still-ink-dry piece of paper on the table, looked into his eyes and said, “Would you listen to me first? I’m afraid you have misunderstood. The Prince of Qi has nothing to do with him except that he met in the palace when he was a child. I have never had any contact with him for so many years. It was an accident that I met him at Huguo Temple yesterday. Yes. As for the letter just now, I don’t even know about it.”

“This is Shangjing. No matter how ignorant I am, when I get here, I don’t dare to do things with others. Even if I don’t care about your face, don’t I even want the face of Changsha?”

Xie Changgeng didn’t respond with a cold face, and only tidied up the sleeves of his clothes that she had just held.

Mu Fulan looked at him and said softly, “You’re about to leave. The Queen Mother called me into the palace this morning and asked me where I was going, but you never said a word to me. I was actually very flustered…”

Her voice became smaller and smaller, she slowly lowered her eyes, and stood quietly in front of him, motionless.

After a long time, Xie Changgeng finally spoke.

“Ms. Mu, I went to Yuecheng to pick you up that day. Didn’t you insist on breaking away from me? Now I do what you want. I go to Hexi, and you go back to your country of Changsha.”

Mu Fulan said, “The Queen Mother has always regarded me as a hostile country in Changsha. Since she has summoned me to Beijing, when you are gone, how could she let me go back so easily? The words she asked me this morning were just It’s just testing. Others don’t know, Xie Lang, don’t you know?”

Xie Changgeng said blankly, “What’s so difficult about this? I’m gone, isn’t there another Prince Qi? He will help you.”

“He doesn’t have that ability. No one can help me.”

She shook her head.

“Xie Lang, now I know that in this world, the only person who can protect me is you.”

Mu Fulan slowly raised a pair of beautiful eyes, stared at Xie Changgeng opposite, and said softly.
