The Spoiled Daily Life of the Villain’s Mother - Chapter 142
Runhe forty-three years, a hot summer.
Jiang Shining was lying on the couch, reading a book quietly, and occasionally a bit of hot wind blew through the edge of the window, picking up the ends of her forehead hair.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in, Su Ye, Jiang Shining’s most trusted maid.
“Niangniang, have you heard that? Gu Bi has made trouble again.”
Jiang Shining didn’t look up, she said lazily, “Why, did she finally find the bracelet that she lost three days ago?”
“It was said that it was stolen by a shadow guard, and it is now fighting.”
Jiang Shining sneered.
“She can’t find a substitute for a dead ghost. How good is it to give the **** maid, how can the shadow guard steal the holy thing.”
“It seems that Gu is also in a hurry. The emperor’s rewards are not easy to put away, and now it is difficult to explain it. The court lady **** can steal it casually, which only shows that she is not strict and does not care about it.” Su Ye He also chuckled, “We can only rely on the identity of the shadow guard, the shadow guard is powerful, and it can be justified.”
Jiang Shining was disdainful. Everyone knew it was just a cover. Regardless of whether Gu Bin’s bracelet was lost or framed by others, her brother and father led the army on the front line, and the emperor couldn’t move her. Gu Bin needed it. It was to find a step for the emperor to forgive her.
This ‘step’ is to push all of this to the lower person. When the time comes, everyone will be killed and everything will be fine.
It’s just a pity that the innocent shadow guard was going to die unjustly for the benefit of others.
Now we all know that Xiao Fei and Gu Bi are in a turbulent situation. Although Gu Bi has a lower level, but with the support of the family, she will rise to the position of the Fourth Concubine sooner or later, so no one dared to provoke her.
Gu Bin most despise Jiang Shining. In her eyes, this concubine Xiao had no family background, no foundation, and she was able to go to the present only because she was charming with her beauty. In the bottom of her heart, she felt that it was nothing to offend a Jiang Shining.
“Niangniang, do you want to do something?” Su Ye asked.
Jiang Shining really didn’t want to do anything at first. Gu Bin’s loss of the sacred object can only be ignored this time, and she has nothing to handle.
Two days later, Jiang Shining was idle in her room to practice calligraphy. Suddenly, a figure appeared from a dark corner and went straight to Jiang Shining and knelt down.
“Mother… Empress!”
Jiang Shining raised her head and saw the female shadow guard in her room, Ying Hong. Generally speaking, the shadow guard never shows up, unless there is an emergency, it is a violation of the law to talk to the young master of the palace without authorization. So Ying Hong, who was kneeling, looked extremely fearful and nervous, but very firm.
Jiang Shining put down the pen and said strangely, “Yinghong, what’s the matter?”
Generally speaking, the Shadow Guardian reports that it is fine to speak with both hands and fist, but Ying Hong, in a strong black suit, bends his spine and touches his forehead to the ground.
“Niang Niang, please save Brother!”
Jiang Shining frowned slightly, not knowing what she was talking about, Ying Hong had already spoken tremblingly.
“Niang Niang, the subordinate knows that it is a big crime to contact you privately, the subordinate… the subordinate will be punished, but I beg you to save Brother, he is the best person in our class of shadow guards, he shouldn’t be like this It’s in vain!”
“Which one are you talking about?” Jiang Shining frowned.
Yinghong slowly raised her head, her eyes flushed.
“The shadow guard who wants to condemn Gu’s crime is him!”
Jiang Shining was taken aback.
Today is the third day. Is that shadow guard not dead yet?
Ying Hong seemed to understand what she was thinking, trembled, “Gu Bi wanted to bend a move and let Mu Chi admit his crime, but Brother, he was **** and he didn’t admit to death. Now it’s been the third day since I was tortured and tortured. I’m afraid… I’m afraid he can’t hold on anymore.”
After the conversation, Yinghong bends down deeply.
“Please help him, our brothers and sisters are willing to smash your brains and go through fire and water…”
“Yinghong, you are a fool!” At this time, Su Ye said coldly, “You know that if the empress wants to save the shadow guard, she will fight against Gu. Now she is like the sky, we have to think twice about what we do, how can it be possible? Feel free to save people, have you ever thought that after this, the empress will bear all the targets and anger of Gu? How can you two help? With your performance, I can directly report to the Shadow Guardian Pavilion !”
“I…” Yinghong’s face paled.
Female shadow guards are generally tougher than normal women, but Yinghong fell to the ground, her face pale.
Jiang Shining slowly leaned back in the chair, she thought.
“Actually, it is not impossible to save.”
“Niang Niang!” Su Ye was taken aback.
Jiang Shining was thinking that sooner or later she would have to tear her face with Gu Bin, not to mention what the future will be. Now the three forces in the harem are the queen, the imperial concubine, and her concubine Xiao. Maybe she needs an opportunity to establish authority to draw more concubines to her camp.
There is no family backing behind, so people and resources are even more needed. Rather than waiting for Gu Lai to gain power and target himself, it is better to act first.
Jiang Shining made up her mind, she stood up and said, “Lead the way and go to the Shadow Guard Pavilion.”
…
The dark dungeon, his sight was blurred by blood.
The man with sword eyebrows, star eyes, spirit and determination is now dying to be tied to the wood, his whole body is covered with hideous scars, and the wounds are cruelly turned over with flesh and blood.
A bucket of water poured down from his head, Mu Chi was choked and coughed, and he regained consciousness in a daze.
One hand pinched his chin.
“Acknowledge it, Mu Chi.”
Mu Chi’s eyelashes blinked slowly, and finally raised his eyes to look at his immediate superior. The man’s face was bloodstained, but his eyes were so clean and deep that it was difficult to look directly at him.
“…Why do you want to recognize things you haven’t done before.” His voice was hoarse.
“Don’t you understand?” Ying Yi, the current director of Yingwei Pavilion, said coldly. , Settle the dispute! Do you know that if this incident continues, the entire harem will not be peaceful?”
The corners of Mu Chi’s mouth moved, which seemed to be a mocking smile.
“What’s the matter with me?”
“You—you are a shadow guard!” Ying Yi said angrily, “you are the master’s thing, so naturally you have to obey the words of the empress!”
Mu Chi’s head was as heavy as a kilo, he barely raised his head and murmured, “I can die, but I can’t die like this.”
Life is meaningless, he wants to at least protect his dignity.
Come clean, go clean.
Can’t even such a small wish come true?
The supervisor was irritated by him, and immediately flicked his whip to draw Muchi’s scarred chest.
“You will die sooner or later, even if you don’t admit it, you will be forcibly confessed to these sins after death. What are you still insisting on?” Ying Yidao, “You admit it now, at least it’s not that painful to walk.”
Mu Chi snorted. He was injured too badly and was given another whip. He has no strength to speak.
However, he still shook his head firmly.
Ying Yi was dizzy with anger. Although Yingyi is the highest position in the shadow guards, the entire shadow guard system is pressed at the bottom. If this matter fails, one charge of negligence is enough to make him fall to the ground with Mu Chi.
At this moment, a shadow guard came in from outside the door.
“grown ups……”
“Let Gu Bi Niang wait!” Ying Yi said irritably.
The shadow guard who came in hesitated to speak.
“My lord, it’s not Empress Gu.” He said, “Lady Xiaofei is waiting for you in the main hall, and she said…”
“What else?”
Shadow Guard raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Chi who was tied to the cross wooden frame.
“She said she wants to be Mu Chi.”
Ying Yi’s head was big in an instant, and he couldn’t provoke any of these concubines. There is a family backing behind Gu. Concubine Xiao has been the most favored concubine for more than a decade since entering the palace, and it is not easy to provoke her.
The great **** fights, Xiami suffers.
He quickly threw down the whip, wiped the blood from his hands, and rushed to the front hall.
Entering from the side door, I saw a young and beautiful concubine half leaning on a chair, and the maid next to her was making tea for her. To say that Xiao Fei has a pair of peachy eyes and is very charming. But her temperament is indifferent and elegant, and the two distinctive temperaments are perfectly integrated in her body, which is so beautiful. No wonder the emperor likes her so much that she has not fallen.
Yingyi didn’t dare to look, and knelt directly in front of her.
“Lady Xiao, why are you here today? The Shadow Guard Pavilion is very bloody. Just tell me what you want, why…”
Jiang Shining interrupted him directly.
“Where is the shadow guard I want?”
“This…” Yingyi said with sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, “Manny, now Muchi is the criminal of Empress Xiaofei, I am not very good at giving people to you. If you think the shadow guard in your palace is not good, you can Here is a list of alternate shadow guards, which you can choose at will.”
“It’s because he is Gu Bin’s criminal that I want him.” Jiang Shining said flatly, “Gu Bin insisted that it was something that was stolen by Shadow Guard, but there is no evidence of evidence, even if there is no stolen property, he will be convicted? If the shadow guard doesn’t recognize it, you still have to bend it into a trick?”
“No, it’s not like that,” Ying Yi said stubbornly. “The damsel speaks naturally, but the villain is just following orders. It’s really…”
Jiang Shining sneered.
She was obviously as beautiful as an allure, but when she sneered, it made people chill behind her back.
“Yingyi, I know you want to be an exquisite person, but unfortunately it is not so easy to please two sides.” She said lightly, “Everyone knows what the truth of this matter is. But you are the only one who is easily implicated. Only one person. Think about it, if Muchi is convicted, you cannot escape the blame. When the emperor wants to kill you, can Gu Bi help you say half a word? She lost the holy artifact and made a mistake, how could she beg for you .”
“This…” Yingyi’s pupils turned straight.
“I’m different.” Jiang Shi fixedly stared at him, “I want Muchi to get rid of his crime and trouble Gu. This matter has nothing to do with your shadow guards, so naturally you don’t have to be involved. What do you think? ?”
“Subordinate…” Yingyi was a little tangled.
Jiang Shining smiled coldly, “Yingyi, you have to think carefully, it is very important to be with the person. On earth, Gu Bin and I, who can be considerate to each other?”
Yingyi turned his mind and finally made up his mind.
“Bring Muchi here!” Here, he laughed with him again, “Manny, that little man will be taken care of by you.”
“It’s easy to say.” Jiang Shining spoke lazily.
Here, Mu Chi was dragged up by two people. As soon as he came in, the whole room was full of blood. The man was beaten and bruised and bloody, even Su Ye, who had always been calm, whispered, keeping his eyes away.
Only Jiang Shining’s expression remained unchanged.
Mu Chi was placed on the open space in front of her. Only his slightly undulating shoulders indicate that he is still alive.
“Much.” Jiang Shining said, “Is it something you stole?”
Muchi Chiguo’s shoulders moved, and he barely raised his head, his eyes blurred by blood and sweat could no longer see people clearly, only a vague outline could be seen.
“…I didn’t.” He said hoarsely.
“You were beaten like this, why didn’t you plead guilty?”
“If you want to add a crime, why should you admit it.”
Looking at this man, Jiang Shining’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Death must be innocent?”
Mu Chi’s forehead hit the ground, and he didn’t even have the strength to lift it up.
“…No shame!” he said hoarsely.
Jiang Shining smiled softly. She raised her eyes to Ying Yi, who was sitting on the other side, smiling, her smile getting colder.
“It’s not a pity that a person with such a clank and iron bone would break his life in this way?”
“Yes, he is the best shadow guard in his batch.” Ying Yi said quickly.
Jiang Shining was too lazy to talk nonsense, and took the person back to her palace.
…
Mu Chi was sober in a trance, as if he had had a long nightmare. When I woke up, my whole body was in pain, but I was out of hell.
This is a residence for ordinary people.
The shadow guard was more tolerant of pain than ordinary people. He was tortured for three days and was almost beaten to death. Mu Chi unexpectedly only regained consciousness after being in a coma for a few days.
His brain was in a trance, wondering why he was saved.
“Brother!” At this moment, a voice rang at the door, and Mu Chi raised his head and saw Ying Hong coming in with surprise on his face and sat down beside him.
“Yinghong?” Mu Chi frowned slightly, “Why are you here?”
“I was sent to Empress Xiao, she was the one who saved you!” Yinghong sighed, “We will have a backer in the future. Empress is loved by others, at least you won’t be bullied by your colleagues again.”
Muchi was one of the best in the shadow guards, and could have been sent directly to the emperor and prince. Unfortunately, it is said that his background composition is not good, so he can only go down and become a temporary shadow guard that rotates in each palace. Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened during the first rotation.
Mu Chi was dizzy and dizzy, as if he remembered that he had indeed spoken to this empress before he became unconscious, but he couldn’t see what he looked like.
Yinghong couldn’t help himself, but Mu Chi frowned slightly.
“Why did Concubine Xiao save me? Now that Gu Bi is in full swing, she will not be punished if she loses the holy object.” Mu Chi thought, “Everyone is waiting for me to be the ghost of the dead and end this matter. Concubine Xiao saves me, can she have it? What’s the benefit? I can only offend Gu in vain.”
Upon hearing this, Ying Hong bowed her head.
“…I begged Niang Niang to save you.”
Mu Chi was taken aback.
“Naughty!” Immediately, he frowned, “Since you already have a master, why do you still do this? If you make Concubine Xiao Xiao suffer because of your personal affair, it is not enough for you to apologize for death.”
Yinghong had become accustomed to Mu Chi’s indifference and estrangement, but when she begged her for help, she also put her own life out of control, but Mu Chi did not appreciate it at all. In addition, she felt ashamed of her mother, so her eyes were so red.
Mu Chi’s heart was complicated, and he felt that Ying Hong was really sorry for being so good to her by doing so, and worried that she would be involved and punished because of this.
After inquiring again, I realized that Concubine Xiao did not let Yinghong report the matter to the Yingwei Pavilion, which was considered to have saved her.
In fact, Muchi was not afraid of death, and he didn’t want other people to be implicated because of himself. He stayed in bed for another month before the injury gradually healed.
The subordinates have their own personal network, and he soon heard of the turbulence during this period.
When Gu Bi learned that Concubine Xiao had taken him away, he immediately lost his temper, and directed all the suspiciousness to Concubine Xiao. He quarreled in front of the emperor several times, and wanted the emperor to punish Concubine Xiao.
However, I don’t know how the concubine Xiao contends in this. In the end, the emperor neither pursued Gu concubine nor punished Concubine Xiao concubine, he just regarded the matter as having passed.
But when the matter passed, the Liangzi between the two of them came to an end.
Muchi didn’t know why Concubine Xiao was wading in the muddy water. Could it be that she was really kind enough to rescue an unrelated person after hearing Yinghong’s words?
No, such kind people have no family background, so it is impossible to sit in the concubine position.
But Mu Chi couldn’t think of other reasons.
He thought, Xiao Fei used Gu Bi to tear her face and rescued him, why would she call him again?
As a result, Mu Chi came to the Xiaofei Palace for two months, and no one looked for him. Everyone seemed to have forgotten him. They didn’t let him resume his work as a shadow guard, but they remembered to bring food over, and no one controlled him.
With such a serious injury, it is normal for a normal person to lie down for a few months. However, the shadow guard was painful, and Mu Chi couldn’t stand it in the second month.
On this day, Su Ye was in the small kitchen busy directing the maid to give Jiang Shining snacks. She was busy for a long time, carrying the food basket back, and in the blink of an eye, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of her, taking Su Ye was so frightened that he took two steps back.
“Bold! You, you–” As the grand palace lady in power in Xiaofei’s mansion, Su Yegang wanted to scold him, but he recognized Mu Chi and immediately pressed his anger, “It turned out to be you, can you go to the ground now?”
Jiang Shining rescued the people back, and she couldn’t say anything hard.
Mu Chi nodded.
“When will Empress Xiao concubine summon me?”
Hearing this, Su Ye’s anger gradually faded, and she looked him up and down.
“My mother is very busy on weekdays, why can I have time to summon you?” Su Ye smiled, “Why, I can’t stay when I escaped from the dead?”
Mu Chi murmured in his heart that the harem concubine was sewing things apart from embroidery. Waiting for the emperor’s luck, she was so idle every day, why didn’t she have time to see him?
But on the surface, he didn’t say anything.
“I just think that for saving my life, I should be grateful in person.” He whispered.
Hearing this, Su Ye sneered, “You really should be grateful. The lady almost pulled herself into this mess in order to save you. Fortunately, the emperor’s fame, otherwise you won’t have enough lives to change.”
Muchi had no opinion on her coldness. For him, Su Ye is right, and each is his own. Like Yinghong begging Xiao Fei to save him, it seemed a bit lacking in professionalism.
Seeing that the person in front of him didn’t speak and his attitude was pretty good, Su Ye’s anger subsided a little.
“Okay, I’ll go and ask Niang Niang later, you can go back and wait.”
“Thank auntie.”
On this side, Su Ye put all the snacks made in the small kitchen on the table, while Jiang Shining read the book.
“Niang, you have just made the dessert in the small kitchen, please try it.”
Jiang Shining turned a page.
“no appetite.”
In ancient times, food was blown to the sky, and it couldn’t compare with modern food. Jiang Shining refused to accept it. After so many years, he was used to everything. Only a stubborn stomach could not admit defeat. As a result, she has eaten very little over the years.
Su Ye sighed softly, and then said, “Manny, that shadow guard… do you want to summon it?”
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Shining put down the book and asked, raising his head.
She was very interested in this Muchi, especially his noble character and would rather be unyielding. This kind of quality is rare in shadow guards-perhaps they will close their teeth in the face of the enemy, but they will perform 100% of the master’s orders, such as a black pot.
A shadow guard who doesn’t want to be complacent, interesting.
Jiang Shining smiled when Su Ye said about the matter just now.
“I thought he had to lie down for a few months after being so badly injured.” She said, “Since he is already on the ground, let him see me.”
“Yes.”
Su Ye went out.
After a while, Su Ye came back and said, “Niang, someone has brought it.”
Jiang Shining raised her head and saw a man wearing a black shadow guard uniform walking in behind Su Ye. Before she could see what he looked like, Mu Chi had already knelt down.
“Subordinates thank the empress for her life-saving grace.” He said in a low voice.
Jiang Shining put the book on the table and stared at the man’s back, how many scars were covered by the black clothes.
“Look up,” she said.
Hearing this, Mu slowly raised his head.
Washed off the blood, he turned out to be a man with a stern face and a straight nose.
Jiang Shining smiled softly.
Although Mu Chi originally raised his head, his eyelashes kept hanging. When I heard this chuckle, it was like being scratched by a cat and itchy. He couldn’t help but look up.
At this moment, the man was stunned.
The Xiaofei in front of her has a pair of peach-eyed eyes that fascinate people. Originally it looked like a disaster for the country and the people, but her eyebrows and eyes have a cold and distant color, like a snow-capped sky lotus, with a pure temperament.
“Be bold!” Su Ye frowned suddenly.
Mu Chi met her gaze, just staring at it, but he didn’t even move. He didn’t panic and lowered his head until Su Ye scolded him angrily. I completely missed the laziness and carelessness when speculating about this matter before.
“It’s okay, Su Ye.” Then, he heard Concubine Xiao say, “This palace is beautiful, this palace knows it.”
“Niang Niang.” Su Ye suddenly felt helpless.
The back of Jiang Shining’s hand was against her temple. She had slender fingers and slender wrists, and the falling sleeves showed a little white wrist, which made Mu Chi feel at a loss and didn’t dare to look up again.
“Su Ye said you want to see me, what’s the matter?” Jiang Shining asked.
Mu Chi lowered his head, his lips opened and closed many times, but he had long forgotten what he was going to say.
“Subordinates… Subordinates just want to know if the empress has any arrangements.” He whispered.
“I have nothing to do.” Jiang Shining thought he was funny, smiled, and said, “You can heal your wounds with peace of mind. After waiting, you can stay with me or you can return to the Shadow Guard Pavilion.”
“The subordinates are willing to serve the empress.” Mu Chi said immediately.
“good.”
…
After Mu Chi went back, he couldn’t sleep at night.
He originally wanted to ask Jiang Shining why he was saving herself, but when he saw her, he was suddenly panicked and his brain went blank. After the reaction came, the other person had already returned.
After recovering from the injury for another month, Mu Chi’s number of dazes increased significantly. He always thinks of Concubine Xiao at every turn. The longer time hasn’t obliterated all this, but it made him want to meet even more.
Only three months later, Mu Chi resumed his work as a shadow guard. He was brought back by the owner of the palace himself, so Muchi, who had been marginalized outside, was inexplicably placed in a respected position by everyone in the palace.
Normal shadow guards can only be guarded in the outer courtyard, but because the person who manages all shadow guards in the Xiaofei Palace is his junior sister Yinghong, plus he was brought back by Xiaofei himself, so except at night, Muchi can be there. Jiang Shining takes turns in his daily activities.
He watched Jiang Shining read books, practice calligraphy, paint, and play the piano every day, and occasionally sit by the pool in the courtyard for a while. Recently, the emperor favored Gu Bian, and Gu Bian confronted her again, and naturally stopped the emperor from letting him come.
But it seems that Jiang Shining is different from those deep grieving women. She enjoys her peaceful time alone.
When Mu Chi thought Jiang Shining was such a cold character, her two sons came to visit her.
The first time Mu Chi saw Jiang Shining smile so sincerely, it was as if she shared a mask with other people, and Jiang Shining was herself only when she was with Jingyuan Jingxuan.
Mu Chi didn’t have any thoughts in his mind, he just felt that compared with the past, the current life was like a difference between the sky and the underground. No wonder other shadow guards and subordinates like to work in Xiaofei Palace, because Jiang Shining is a very good person and never treats subordinates harshly. By her side, she sometimes forgets that this is a turbulent dynasty, which will only make people feel calm. And contentment.
Mu Chi is actually very satisfied. He has no feelings for death and no expectations for survival. Now life has satisfied him. At that time, he didn’t understand what his feelings for Jiang Shining were. Perhaps he was grateful for being saved, but he was also astonishing.
It’s just that, he thought, it would be great if he could stay with her for his life as a shadow guard.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to find stability in the harem.
A few months later, when someone “occasionally” cleaned Mu Chi’s original residence in the Shadow Guard Pavilion, he found the bracelet that Gu Bin had lost. This matter was known to both Gu Bin and Jiang Shining at the same time. One party was overjoyed, and one party began to work hard to find a way to reverse the situation.
“I really didn’t steal anything from her!” Mu Chi knelt aside in Xiaofei’s palace and said with a pale face.
“I know.” Jiang Shining said solemnly.
She originally thought that Gu Yu had lost something, but now it seems that someone did it deliberately.
“Niang Niang, you tried to protect Mu Chi before, and now if his stealing is committed, I’m afraid we will all be implicated.” Su Ye said anxiously.
Before Jiang Shining said anything, Mu Chi’s face paled again when he heard Su Ye’s words.
“Subordinates are willing to commit suicide to prove their innocence!” He said every word.
In this anxious time, Jiang Shining smiled.
“If you die, just sit down and make sure you did something wrong.” Jiang Shining said.
“Do you want to tell His Royal Highness Jing Yuan about this?” Su Ye asked.
Jiang Shining shook her head.
“What is the use of telling him about the harem concubine?”
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Mu Chi who was pale and bloodless. She thought he was afraid, so she comforted, “Don’t worry, since you haven’t done this, I won’t let them take you away.”
Mu Chi said nothing.
Until Su Ye went out to inquire about the news again, Jiang Shining saw him still kneeling and said, “Get up.”
She lowered her head to drink water, but heard an awkward, low voice.
“…I’m not afraid that something will happen to me.”
Jiang Shining raised her head and looked at Mu Chi.
“what?”
Mu Chi tilted his head lightly and refused to go to see her, but he said in a low voice, “I’m not afraid of them. I just… don’t want to hurt you.”
Jiang Shining was taken aback, then smiled lightly.
“I know.” She said softly, “You are an arrogant person. You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of implicating others, right?”
Mu Chi lowered his head and nodded indiscriminately.
He felt Jiang Shining stand up and came to him. Then, a pale hand stretched out.
Mu Chi was taken aback, he raised his head, and fell unexpectedly into Jiang Shining’s smiling eyes.
This was the first time she smiled at him like this.
Mu Chi stretched out his hand blankly, and was pulled up by Jiang Shining.
“You have a backbone, and I have it too.” Jiang Shining smiled softly, “I won’t let anyone move my people. You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore, I will end it.”
After that, Jiang Shining did as she promised, circling around and using contacts to find clues. Passed the conspiracy without any risk.
It turned out that the person who stole the jade bracelet turned out to be the queen’s person. At first, she just wanted to use her hair to be uncomfortable, but because she underestimated the importance of Gu’s family support, she didn’t move her.
The queen was itching with hatred, but Jiang Shining rescued the shadow guard. She immediately sent someone to put the bracelet in Mu Chi’s original room, thinking that even if she didn’t deal with Gu, it would be good to get rid of Jiang Shining.
But what she didn’t expect was that Jiang Shining’s contacts were extremely wide, and even many of her subordinates took the initiative to help because she had been taken care of by her.
Jiang Shining told Gu Bin about the matter. Although the two could not see each other, the queen was even more difficult to deal with. She couldn’t let her take advantage of the fisherman’s profit, so the matter was left alone.
Because of this incident, Jiang Shining and Mu Chi directly seemed to have a sense of comrade-in-arms.
Mu Chi felt that Jiang Shining was special, not because of her looks, but because of her character.
In the harem, there are too few people who are not surprised. And Jiang Shining, no matter what situation she faces, she is so indifferent and gives people a sense of security. Muchi is sheltered by her, and her heart has been convinced by her.
However, this is also the reason why Jiang Shining looked at Mu Chi with admiration. She felt that Mu Chi’s personality was too rare among the shadow guards and his servants. Especially the shadow guards, who have been brainwashed and educated since childhood, and Mu Chi still has his own personality and bottom line, which is really surprising.
Jiang Shining knew that she should keep away from Mu Chi for the sake of mission safety.
But she didn’t know why, she couldn’t help it.
Sometimes Jiang Shining knew he was guarding, so he would call out and chat occasionally. Some of his insights and thoughts were far beyond the prince in the palace.
They also once talked about Muchi being wronged.
Mu Chi trusted her wholeheartedly, and even blurted out three words——
Why?
He struggled to grow up and survived inhuman training. Shadow Guard Pavilion erased his longing for life, so that he was not afraid of life and death, and the consciousness that it is best to sacrifice for the guardian at any time.
It’s as if he survived to die for others. Mu Chi admitted that he wanted to be a qualified shadow guard.
However, they not only want his life, but also his only dignity and innocence.
Why?
During the three days when Mu Chi was beaten, he kept asking himself this question.
He, who had never thought of resisting, couldn’t help but start to wonder why he had to give his life for these people. But he couldn’t get rid of it.
On this day, Mu Chi also asked Xiang Jiang Shining this question—why?
Jiang Shining was silent, and she couldn’t answer. This is the iron rank of this world. People can only judge their lives by birth. Some people are born rich and can trample on others at will. However, some people can only struggle hard, and have tried their best to survive, but they will be ruined because of a word from the other party.
Jiang Shining couldn’t tell, the truth was too weak and unfair.
Mu Chi gave her a vivid feeling. He had a very precious soul, which looked so different in this era.
Sometimes, Jiang Shining even felt that Mu Chi was like her other side. Because of all Mu Chi’s questions, she also questioned them. Her life is the same as Mu Chi, small as dust, turbulent and helpless in the huge world.
Occasionally speaking with Mu Chi, Jiang Shining seemed to feel a little relieved—it turned out that it was not only her but him who struggled to survive the shackles in this world.
Although the two communicated very little, the relationship between them became familiar inexplicably and quickly.
Even if he didn’t speak, Jiang Shining knew that Mu Chi was also in the courtyard, so he would twitch his mouth.
However, Mu Chi was not as relieved as Jiang Shining. He was a little restless. Many shadow guards who have been with concubines or princes for a long time will be given seals to confirm their masters and will not change them in the future. The shadow guards without seals belonged to the palace and the emperor. But he had been here for half a year in a blink of an eye, and he was on the same rotation as the close guard, but Jiang Shining never mentioned this matter.
He hoped that Jiang Shining would mention this matter every day, but there was no movement.
On this day, Mu Chi really couldn’t bear it anymore, he went to Yinghong and asked about this.
“The master does not give the seal.” Yinghong said to him, “the shadow guards in the entire Xiaofei Palace did not give the seal. The master does not seem to like it.”
Generally shadow guards don’t show up, Jiang Shining doesn’t give a seal, and others can’t control it.
Hearing Yinghong saying this, Mu Chi was relieved and a little bit depressed. He nodded, turned and left, but Ying Hong kept looking at his back.
“Senior Brother, I have something to ask you.”
In the evening, Yinghong found Mu Chi before the shift.
“What’s the matter?” Mu Chi was removing his black shadow guard robe in the room. The shadow guards train with men and women, regardless of gender, so he doesn’t shy away at all.
Yinghong wanted to speak but stopped. She held her breath to make sure that no one was eavesdropping around, and then whispered, “You…do you have a good impression of the master?”
Mu Chi was shocked, stared at Yinghong, and sternly said, “You are crazy, and you say such a rebellious thing, be careful to make us all get angry!”
Ying Hong pursed her lips, and just said, “I’m just reminding you that you are acting too obvious. If you go on like this, you will make the master ignite the upper body. The girl in the harem chats privately with a male shadow guard of you, if someone is seen How to do?”
Mu Chi was speechless, and Ying Hong had already left.
He sat on the bed decadently, only feeling that the anger he had just turned into anger was like being pierced by a secret.
Mu Chi seemed to calm down suddenly. His past days were so wonderful, he was so overwhelmed. Ying Hong was right. If someone was seen, those who stared at Jiang Shining would definitely take the opportunity to pull her into the abyss.
He suddenly retreated.
The next day, Mu Chi didn’t go on duty, he asked other shadow guards to make up, and he returned to the shadow guard pavilion.
If he is not in Jiang Shining’s palace, he will also go to other concubine palaces for shifts. But at least it was able to break the contact, and also to protect the possibility that Jiang Shining would be caught by someone in 10,000. If he stays in Xiaofei’s palace forever, he can’t help it.
When Jiang Shining called his name with that kind of chuckle, Mu Chi couldn’t help but listen to her.
He couldn’t refuse her, so he could only stay away.
Mu Chi went to see the supervisor Ying Yi, indicating that he wanted to go to other palaces for rotation.
“Why?” Yingyi asked.
Mu Chi was silent, and after a while, he asked, “Can you?”
“You were rescued by Concubine Xiao, you are from Concubine Xiao, which palace would dare to ask you?” Ying Yi sneered, “Gu Bi must want to, are you going?”
Impossible to go, if you go, you will die.
Mu Chi walked out of the Yingwei Pavilion dullly, his mind groggy. At this moment, a sharp voice sounded.
“It’s you, Mu Chi?”
Mu Chi raised his head and saw Gu Yan’s grand court lady Qiuyue looking at him incredulously.
Mu Chi was too lazy to care about her, raised his foot and left, and heard Qiu Yue anger saying, “Stop, according to our current identity, I am two levels higher than you, dare you not to listen to me, be careful I report to the Shadow Guardian Pavilion!”
Muchi was not afraid of her complaint, at best he was beaten. But he remembered what Yingyi had just said, and now everyone sees him as Xiaofei’s person, he can’t trouble Jiang Shining.
So he stopped. Coldly
