Dongling Kingdom, Spring of the 20th year of Emperor Jin'an's reign In the vast Dongling Imperial Palace, laughter and cheers filled the air. Warriors and scholars from all over the kingdom gathered in the capital city to celebrate the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday. 。A garden in full bloom, overflowing with fruits and delicacies. On a stage beautifully constructed, graceful dancers sway to the enchanting tunes of bamboo music. 。On a secluded path in the palace, a young man dressed in brightly colored garments embroidered with flowers and wearing his hair styled with a peony ornament, was hurrying along behind an empress. 。Moments later, the two stopped at the entrance of a remote and dilapidated palace garden. 。"Are you sure, Prince? You want to meet me here?" 。The woman was dressed in extravagant robes, with heavy makeup. Her dark, long, painted eyebrows were furrowed together, her red lips pouted, and the blush on her cheeks made it unbearable to look at. 。Na Gong desperately held back, forcing herself to not show disgust and said: "How could a slave dare deceive Miss Mu? You are the future princess consort, if I lie, wouldn't I be courting death?" This ugly wretch could actually become the princess consort, this old heaven really has no eyes. 。It's not worth it for the crown prince, but after today, this position of crown princess, I'm afraid it won't be held by anyone else besides Mu Xian. 。The palace's words left Mu Xian incredibly satisfied, her chest swelling with pride. She removed the jade bracelet from her hand and placed it into the palace's palm. 。"As for your kindness, in the future when I ascend to the throne of the Eastern Palace, I will surely repay you." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。After saying this, Muyi left eagerly for the palace gardens. Her older brother, the prince, usually wouldn't even bother with her, but today he had invited her to meet him privately within the palace walls. 。I already know that even though the Crown Prince doesn't say it, he likes me in his heart. I can't keep the Crown Prince waiting for too long. 。She weighed the bracelet in her hand, glanced at Mu Xiaoli's retreating figure with a hint of mockery, and tucked the jade-green bracelet into her sleeve. 。Then goodbye, Mu Xia li had already entered the room in the palace garden. She went forward and closed the palace gate, locking it. She waited at the palace gate. 。This lock is for precaution, it will naturally be opened when the time comes. 。Then Mu Xia, as she pushed open the door and entered the room, a strange fragrance wafted towards her. 。Mu Xiaoli couldn't help but furrow her brow, thinking that the usually elegant and refined Crown Prince, would actually like such a sweet and cloying fragrance. 。It seems the jade sisters are right, Prince Brother does prefer a strong scent. Luckily, I've been listening to the jade sisters every day and have added plenty of fragrance. 。""Prince brother, I'm here. Where are you?" There was no one in the room, so Mu Xianli called out, waving her hand with a handkerchief. " 。It's just early spring weather, but it feels a little stuffy right now and my face is flushed. 。"Eldest Brother?" Mu Xianli walked further into the room, but still couldn't hear any sound from her beloved Eldest Brother. 。Could it be that the palace is deceiving me, and Prince Brother isn't here at all? Mu Xiaoli felt a surge of annoyance mixed with dryness in her throat. Her breathing quickened noticeably. 。My dear sister, brother has arrived 。Low voices arose, and two arms wrapped around Mu Xianli's waist. 。Although Mucifang Li's head was a bit muddled at the moment, she could hear this voice, and feel this hoof-like hand, that it wasn't her brother, the Prince. 。"“You scoundrel, let go of this lady!” A woman who aspires to be the Crown Princess wouldn't be treated like this by just anyone. " 。Mù Xiān Lí tried with all her might to struggle, but despite having some boxing and kicking skills before, she couldn't muster any strength at this moment. 。...nor was he utterly foolish. At that moment, he suspected the strange fragrance coming from inside the house might be amiss. ... 。"Hehehe, I, this dog thing, will make you happy. Good sister, don't struggle." 。The man's face was buried in Mu Xiaoli's neck, rubbing against it. 。Mu Xia's anger intensified, she turned her head and clearly saw the man's face. 。"Zhenjian, you bastard! Do you know who I am? You dare to disrespect me!" 。The man, filled with grief after Muxian had perished and unable to avenge her in a single strike, found himself drained of all strength. The heat waves rose higher and higher, like a monstrous inferno threatening to consume him entirely. 。“How could Master not know who you are? Miss Mu, Mu Xianli. With this scar on my face, how could I possibly forget who you are!” Zhen Jian circled around Mu Xianli and got close to her face. On his right cheek, there was a long scar. 。Seeming rather comical perched on his round, white face. 。Seeing Mu Xia's helpless appearance in front of her, Zhen Jian felt a great sense of satisfaction. 。A year ago, he had only made a few teasing remarks, and this damned man has left this permanent scar on his face. 。The humiliation of today he naturally wanted to get back, though this Mu Xian was far from the celestial beauty of the Mu family, but just thinking about being served by him under his own roof made his heart flutter. 。"I'm the future Crown Princess, you dare to disrespect me? The Crown Prince will definitely have you killed!" 。Mu Xi li bit her lip, trying hard to stay awake. 。Being used to being arrogant, besides threatening others, he couldn't think of any other way at the moment. 。"Hehehe...The crown prince would only thank me, how could he possibly kill me! Let me tell you the truth, today the crown prince sent me here to wait for you..." 。"Zhen Jian said, then eagerly scooped up Mu Xianli and, waddling with his plump frame, walked toward the bed." 。"No, my prince brother wouldn't do that to me. He's my prince consort, the future empress." 。Mu Xi's face turned pale as a sheet, she shook her head in disbelief, tears streaming down her cheeks. 。I can't believe, and refuse to believe, that someone so close to me could treat me this way. 。It turns out I've been deceiving myself all along. I always thought my brother was the one I liked. 。...But he never expected that for the sake of not getting married, he would resort to such despicable means to ruin someone's innocence. ... 。Zhen Jian gently placed Mu Xiaoli on the bed, and then that plump child climbed up after her. 。Ignoring Mu Xia's cries, he untied the <带>. 。"Get away, get away, you pig, you dog, get away!" 。"Mu Xianli cried out with all her might, Mu Xianli, who had been proud for a lifetime, how could she end up like this" 。"“East Imperial Burning Ashes, you are so cruel, so cruel!” Mu Xianli shouted indignantly, suddenly gasped for breath, her neck stiff and glared at him with anger." " 。Zhen Jian didn't hear the silence of the person below, thinking that it was because of the medicine, he had surrendered and taken off his own clothes. He spread his arms across Mu Xiaoli's neck and started to unbutton her clothes. 。When Mo Yun regained consciousness, he saw the blue canopy above him, embroidered with intricate designs that were somewhat overwhelming. 。The coolness from before still mingled with the warmth of what was in his mouth. He lowered his gaze and saw a man resembling a pig sprawled on top of... 。Mo Yun felt a wave of nausea and kicked the pig with his knee. 。Upon hearing the sound of pigs being slaughtered, he kicked the pig off the couch with one foot. 。Mo Yun sat up, killing intent flashing in his eyes. He looked at the strangely dressed pig and wanted to kill it with a single strike. 。"Ouch, ouch!" Zhen Jian did not expect that Mu Xianli, who was quiet just a moment ago, would attack his own child. He hugged himself and rolled on the ground in pain. 。Mo Yun felt a chill run down her spine, instinctively pulling her clothes closer. Suddenly, she realized something was amiss. 。She wasn't wearing the black suit she wore when on duty, but a long robe with wide sleeves. 。The white, slender hands did not resemble those of a seasoned sniper or grenade wielder. It was clear this was not the case. 。Mo Yun took another look at the house. The ancient and fragrant room was not something that should be found here. 。Wasn't I on a mission in the Middle East? How did I get here? Wait... am I dead? I was on a mission in the Middle East with five teammates, our objective was to destroy a bioweapon created by terrorists. 。They came under heavy fire from the terrorists, but successfully eliminated them. 。But when destroying the bio-weapons, as the captain to ensure the safety of the team members, let the team members evacuated from the base. 。Unexpectedly, those terrorists had a backup plan. When they were destroying the biological weapons, the entire base exploded. I lost consciousness in the blast and when I woke up, I was here. 。""Ah…" Suddenly, Mo Yun's head felt like it was about to explode with pain. Unfamiliar memories poured into his mind, relentlessly. 。After a moment, Mo Yun felt better. Looking at the pig rolling on the ground, he had more killing intent. 。This damned pig, actually doing wrong things to its owner. 。"Empress Dowager, Empress, it's right here" 。A cacophony of noise erupted outside, Mo Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips, "Heh, looks like the audience has arrived." 。Mo Yun is someone with extremely strong adaptability. Since he has transmigrated to this world of Mu Xian Li, and also inherited the other person's memories, he will naturally live a good life in place of Mu Xian Li. 。Mo Yun tidied his clothes and slowly got off the bed. 。"“You, you… how could this be?” Zhen Jian looked at Mu Xianli in disbelief. That medicine wouldn't be able to give him strength, would it? How could he be standing now and even injured him? " 。How could this Zhenjian know that Mu Xianli's soul here had already been taken over at this time? 。"How could it not be? You filthy thing, today I'll show you what happens when you offend me! " 。Mo Yun finished speaking and with a smug look, stomped his foot hard on Zhen Jian's stomach. 。"Ugh…" Zhen Jian let out a pained cry, feeling like his insides were being crushed. How could this woman still have so much strength? 。Accompanied by the cries of pain and humiliation, the half-closed door was suddenly flung open from outside. The room instantly became much brighter. 。Mo Yun tilted her head to look at the door. Outside the door, there stood a dozen or so people, the older ones... 。First came a middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance, wearing a robe and holding a hairpin. 。The other was an elderly woman with white hair. Though she was old, her skin was still smooth, with only a few fine lines around her eyes. 。These two people are none other than the current Empress Dowager and the imperial aunt, the Empress. 。"Oh... this, this is really..." The women outside the door, seeing the scene inside, all covered their faces, as if the person inside was extremely filthy. 。"What on earth is going on here?" The Empress Dowager's face was ashen as she looked at Mu Xiaoli and asked. This birthday banquet had been going well, but suddenly a palace maid came to report that Miss Mu of the Mu family had met with a man in the palace. 。Who is this Mu Xia Fei? She is the fiancee of the prince, the future crown princess. 。Having heard of this, I came here with the Empress. Unexpectedly, what the palace maids reported was true. 。This mu xia linen shirt is torn, the red mark on her neck is glaring, and that young master from the Zhen official's family even has half his shirt off. You don't need to think about it to know what happened. 。"Your Majesty, haven't you already seen? Do I need to say more?" Mo Yun answered calmly, her face betraying no sign of panic. 。"Lianli! Lianli! How could you be so foolish, to do such a vile thing!" 。Later on, if I die and meet my elder sister, how should I address her as your concubine? 。A man of middle age, dressed in purple robes, looked at Mo Yun with sorrow and shook his head. 。This woman is not an outsider, but truly General Mu's concubine, Madam Liu. 。"Sister? Who is your sister? Auntie Liu, you're just a lowly maidservant, and you dare to call my mother sister? Hehe... how laughable..." 。Let me tell you again, my mother was a good person. When she died, of course she went to heaven. My aunt, after she died, would surely not be able to meet us. 。"In Mu Xia's memory, she learned that this Aunt Liu was not a good person either." 。Before, she was just a maid bought back from outside by Mu Xian Li's mother. Mu Xian Li's mother died in childbirth. 。General Mu Da's wife had never remarried after her death. On the anniversary of his late wife's passing, General Mu, after having too much to drink, inexplicably slept with Liu, the concubine. 。Later, this Liu concubine became pregnant. General Mu was unable to bear the inconvenience of supporting a concubine anymore. 。With General Mu being the only man, Liu, as his concubine, naturally took control of the General's Manor. This implicitly acknowledged Liu's position as the mistress of the house. 。In Mu Xiaolian's perception, this Second Mistress Liu had climbed into her father's bed through underhanded means. Furthermore, the Second Mistress Liu gave birth to a son who was intelligent and beautiful, surpassing even Mu Xiaolian in talent. Everyone compared the two, and Mu Xiaolian harbored resentment towards both mother and son. 。The maidservants closest to Lady Liu, upon hearing Mo Yun's words, subtly distanced themselves from her. 。What am I? Just a concubine, a slightly higher-ranking slave than an maidservant. My status is low and despicable, we are not the same class of people. 。Uncle Mu the General had always been devoted to Xu Xuan, and we almost forgot about this Liu concubine's existence. Today, when Miss Mu mentioned it, it really reminded us. 。Xuezi, who was beside Mrs. Liu, frowned at once upon hearing this. Her watery apricot eyes looked at Mu Xiaoli with a hint of reproach and said: "Auntie is your elder's elder after all, since your sister has encountered such a thing, Auntie is very heartbroken for your sister, how could you speak to your aunt like that?" 。"This Mu Xianli isn't beating around the bush, is she? Saying that her mother isn't a good person?" "Mother?" Mo Yun sneered. "Mu Xianyue, you must have gotten it wrong! Liu Yiniang is just a lowly concubine, you dare call her mother? The one you should call Mother is now lying in the Mu family's cemetery." 。Everyone says you're the most knowledgeable and well-mannered person, yet you don't even know this rule. 。"This Mu Xianxue is very beautiful, with a fresh and elegant appearance. She looks like an immortal. It's no wonder she is the number one person in Dongling." 。This Liu concubine wasn't particularly beautiful, just an ordinary little beauty. This shows that Mu Xianxue's face still inherited the good genes of the Mu family. 。The Empress Dowager gave Mu Xianzai a sideways glance. A concubine’s child would always be a concubine’s child, no matter how beautiful or talented they were, they would never be able to reach the highest position. She didn’t understand any rules at all. 。Mu Xian Xue bit her lip silently, her eyes red as she said: “It was younger sister who spoke out of turn. " 。I always felt that Mu Xia was different now. She even lost face in front of the Empress Dowager and Empress, but I couldn't figure out why. 。Mo Yun rolled her eyes. Mu Xianyue's demeanor was as if she had been bullied. 。"Ouch, ouch," Zhen Jian cried out in pain, calling out from under Mu Xiaoli's feet. 。Then Zhen's mother, Mrs. Zhen, saw the pain in her heart but didn't dare to speak up. 。Although Numu's son was right under her feet, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress dared to act out of line in their presence. 。Although I don't know the reason why, my son hangs out with this Miss Mu from a prominent family. 。But Mu Qianshi has settled matters with her son for now. Once she enters the Zhen family, she will have ways to deal with Mu Qianli. 。"Li'er, how can you be so foolish? This is the palace, how can you meet with others in private? Don't you want to be the Crown Princess anymore?" The Empress looked at Mo Yun with heartache, a flash of darkness passing through her eyes. 。Having spent half my life in this palace, how could I not see through the underhanded scheme of today's events? 。How could the gentle Miss Mu meet with someone privately like that, when she was next to the prince? 。Knowing that the son dislikes Xianli, today's events are most likely related to him. 。This can't be blamed on the prince, it's just that Jian Li's current conduct is truly unsuitable for a crown princess. The blame can only be placed on herself. 。"A private meeting with someone? Auntie, when you say this, it makes Liai's heart ache." 。My aunt knows full well that Li'er only has the Crown Prince in her heart, how could she possibly meet with others privately? 。"Mo Yun Shang said with sadness, but there was no trace of sadness on his face." 。This aunt was also the current empress. She was so obviously set up, how could she not see through it? 。This imperial aunt, now saying such things clearly means she has given up. As for who did this, this aunt must have guessed a few points as well. 。The maidservants and young ladies who came with the Empress Dowager also caught a whiff of conspiracy. 。Throughout the entire Dongling Kingdom, everyone knows that Mu Xianli had tragically harmed the Crown Prince. Wherever the Crown Prince goes, ... 。Although the Crown Prince dislikes it, the engagement hasn't been canceled. As long as it remains, she is one day going to be the Crown Princess. How could she ruin her future for this foolish Zhen Jian? 。"Could it be that someone is trying to harm Miss Mu?" said the Princess Consort of Rong, the honorable palace. 。Mo Yun glanced at the Princess Rong. The princess was about forty years old, with a graceful appearance and a gentle temperament. 。At this time, for the Royal Consort to speak like this was clearly a way of helping. Mo Yun glared at the Royal Consort fiercely, taking this to heart. 。"Today, a palace attendant came here and said that the Crown Prince is waiting here. " 。I imagine that under the governance of this Empress Consort, your aunt, the palace must be exceptionally strict. Naturally, no one would dare to do anything harmful or treasonous and would therefore follow suit. 。As soon as I entered this room, I was overcome by the intoxicating aroma. This foolish pig then sauntered in and encountered me performing unseemly acts towards my lord. 。Thankfully, I managed to keep my composure and stay clearheaded, preventing this idiot from succeeding. 。After finishing his words, Mo Yun kicked Zhen Jian's stomach hard again. 。The empress's face darkened several shades. This Mu Xia was clearly implying that anything happening in the palace would be a result of her, the empress, not running the palace well enough. 。This nephew, when did he learn to speak in veiled terms? Is he overthinking things?
"Your Majesty is perceptive. This Mu Xianli made a lifelong promise with me long ago. Today, she made an appointment with me to meet here in private." 。Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager had arrived, he suddenly changed his expression and turned on Xiao. 。Then Zhen Jian suddenly shouted loudly to the crowd. 。 |
