The two of them were about to finish walking around the room when the door to the central hall was suddenly pushed open. Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang were both shocked. At this time, the guards at the door faintly greeted: "Your Highness Prince Jin."
It's Xie Xuanji? Why is he here again? Mu Mingtang was shocked and hurriedly looked for a place to hide Hsieh Hyun-chen. They were not far from the bed. If they moved quickly, they might have time to lie down on the bed. However, how could Hsieh Hyun-chen withstand such violent movements? Moreover, after the black iron chains were untied, they were now piled up on the ground.
Even if Hsieh Hyun-chen could make it in time, it would be too late to put the black iron chains back in place.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's face was still deathly pale. He glanced outside, his thin lips were bloodless, and his eyes were cold with a hidden sharpness.
Mu Mingtang was still looking for a place in a hurry. When she raised her head and saw Hsieh Hyun-chen's eyes, she could not help but be frightened. She was startled for a moment before she realized what Hsieh Hyun-chen wanted to do.
At that moment, Mu Mingtang's hair stood on end. She took advantage of the fact that Xie Xuanji was still at the door and could not hear the movements in the bedchamber. She quickly grabbed Hsieh Hyun-chen's arm and said in a low voice: "You're crazy!"
Hsieh Hyun-chen silently laughed and lowered his head to look at her mockingly: "What, you can't bear to part with him?"
"What does he have to do with me? I just can't bear to part with you." Mu Mingtang did not care about anything else. She did not know where she got the courage, but she pushed Hsieh Hyun-chen back and pulled the screen: "I used my own dowry and food to feed you spoon by spoon until you're this fat. If you force yourself now, how can your body withstand it? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen's face slightly changed when he heard this. He was about to say something, but he was stopped by Mu Mingtang: "You're eating my food now, so you don't have the qualifications to object. Stay here and don't move around. "
Mu Mingtang pulled open the six folding screens, took off his outer shirt, and deliberately put it on top of the screens. Mu Mingtang was wearing a light red dress today, with a bright red gilded sleeve shirt and a yellow silk cloak. The large sleeves and the cloak were of an eye-catching color. When placed on the ink screen, it couldn't be more eye-catching.
This screen was originally used to block the bedding. When it was pulled open, the bed and the person were both covered. Xie Xuanji was used to coming to Prince Qiyang's Mansion as he pleased. The people outside were all the Emperor's people. When Xie Xuanji came in, he didn't need to report to the people inside. After he entered the hall, he found that there was no one in the central hall, so he had no choice but to walk towards the west.
Xie Xuanji had just walked to the Xizi room when he suddenly saw a woman's clothes on the innermost screen. Hsieh Hyun-chen immediately understood what she meant. He quickly took a step back, lowered his eyes, and coughed. "Second Sister-in-law, I'm here to deliver something to Second Brother. Is it convenient for you to talk now? "
A panicked voice immediately came from behind the screen. "It's not convenient. Get out!"
Xie Xuanji was extremely embarrassed. He immediately turned around and went out, closing the door. He really didn't expect that Mu Mingtang was changing clothes. Now that it was broad daylight, there were many guards. If something went wrong, Xie Xuanji's reputation would be ruined.
To put it bluntly, Xie Xuanji didn't realize that his brother was married. Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered without knocking and bumped into this kind of thing.
After Xie Xuanji pushed the door open and went out, Mu Mingtang poked her head out from behind the screen. After making sure that he was gone, she let out a long sigh of relief. The screen was only used to block the view. She could vaguely see the figures behind it. If Xie Xuanji looked carefully, he could actually see two figures behind the screen.
However, Mu Mingtang dared to bet that Xie Xuanji didn't dare to look carefully. She sighed in relief and turned around to wave at Hsieh Hyun-chen. "Okay, he won't dare to come in. You can come out now. "
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she realized that what she said was a standard cheating sentence. It was as if she was caught red-handed. Hsieh Hyun-chen's expression was also strange. He didn't open his eyes to look at her. Mu Mingtang was embarrassed for a moment. She was magnanimous. Face wasn't important. Solving the problem was more important.
Mu Mingtang helped Hsieh Hyun-chen lie back on the bed. Mu Mingtang pointed at the black iron rings and asked, "What about them?"
"Put them on the bed as they are and cover them with the quilt. I don't think he dares to come close. "
"Okay." Mu Mingtang used all her strength, but Hsieh Hyun-chen took her away in an instant. The two of them set up the crime scene. Finally, Mu Mingtang covered Hsieh Hyun-chen with the quilt and destroyed all traces of activity. She ran out of the room and seemed to have thought of something. She turned back and put on the large sleeves on the screen. Then, she randomly took a set of clothes from the box and piled them on the round stool.
Xie Xuanji stood outside the door for a long time. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Mu Mingtang took too long to change clothes. However, he didn't want to knock on the door and rush her, so he could only wait patiently.
After a while, the door opened slightly. Mu Mingtang's face appeared at the door. Her expression was very cold. "A few days ago, Prince Jin was still scolding me. Now, he directly barged into his brother and sister-in-law's bedroom. Is this Prince Jin's etiquette and upbringing?"
Xie Xuanji was embarrassed. However, when it came to this kind of problem, men were always the ones who were in the wrong. Xie Xuanji apologized and said, "I was rash. Please forgive me, second sister-in-law."
"If I make peace today, in the future, Prince Jin won't knock on the door and enter. What will you say?"
"He won't." Xie Xuanji felt extremely embarrassed. After this incident, he also noticed the difference between his elder brother who was married and his elder brother who wasn't. In the past, when Hsieh Hyun-chen was still conscious, the two brothers didn't have a family. If Xie Xuanji had any matters, he would directly push the door open and enter.
Xie Xuanji was used to it. He really didn't expect this to happen today.
In fact, it was also Mu Mingtang's fault that there was no one to serve him. If there were a servant girl guarding outside, such an awkward situation wouldn't have happened. Xie Xuanji asked, "Where are your servant girls? Why is there no one to serve you? "
"They don't dare to come in. A melon picked forcefully is not sweet. Why force them?"
Mu Mingtang casually said these words, but Xie Xuanji understood the hidden meaning behind them. He looked around and said, "Second sister-in-law, is it convenient for you to come in now?"
"It's not convenient."
Xie Xuanji paused and could only say, "I haven't seen second brother in a long time, so I came to see him. I also have something to tell second sister-in-law. "
"Then say it at the door." Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows as he said, "Why? Is it not convenient for outsiders to hear?"
This time, even the imperial bodyguards on both sides felt awkward. Xie Xuanji suppressed his anger and glanced around indifferently. The head imperial bodyguard understood and led everyone away.
When there was no one else around, Xie Xuanji finally had enough and said, "Enough is enough. I can tolerate you once, but it doesn't mean that I will always tolerate you."
Mu Mingtang smiled and opened the door completely. He looked up calmly at Xie Xuanji and said, "I am your sister-in-law. How dare you treat me like this?"
Too arrogant. Xie Xuanji was very angry. However, considering that there were imperial bodyguards watching not far away, he restrained himself. He took out an exquisite and elegant red invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Mingtang, "Ming Wei and I will be getting married in a few days. Ming Wei wants to invite you to our wedding because we have known each other for a while."
Mu Mingtang looked down at the invitation card. It looked very expensive. The envelope was a noble and elegant red. The words and patterns were embossed with gold powder. Mu Mingtang looked at it carefully. It seemed to be written in Xiaozhuan, "To grow old together, with one heart forever."
Mu Mingtang sighed when he saw this scene. His ex-fiancé had sent an invitation card to his and Bai Yueguang's wedding and even invited her to attend their wedding.
It was said that this was the bride's suggestion.
This was great. Mu Mingtang smiled generously and accepted the invitation, saying, "I will remember it. When the day comes, your brother and I will definitely be there on time. Although your brother is unconscious, my brother's wedding is such a joyous occasion. Even if he doesn't come, I will bring the gift. "
Xie Xuanji found that he never had a pleasant conversation with Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang always had the ability to anger people to death with just a few words.
Xie Xuanji didn't feel like giving face to Mu Mingtang. He looked inside and asked, "How is second brother these days?"
Mu Mingtang said without blinking, "He is still the same. Ever since he vomited blood that day, he hasn't woken up."
Xie Xuanji nodded and was about to walk inside. After all, he was Prince Jin. Mu Mingtang couldn't find an excuse to refuse him going to see Hsieh Hyun-chen. But this time, she learned her lesson. She never closed the door and left it wide open.
Of course, Xie Xuanji didn't come to Prince Qiyang's mansion today for such a ridiculous reason as sending Mu Mingtang an invitation. He came to see Hsieh Hyun-chen.
After Hsieh Hyun-chen vomited blood and fainted that day, Xie Xuanji felt uneasy no matter how he thought about it. He must come again to see him in person.
As Xie Xuanji walked closer and closer, Mu Mingtang's heart secretly rose. When Mu Mingtang just went out, she had already put down the bed curtain. She glanced at the blurry curtain and asked, "Prince Jin is standing so close. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Xie Xuanji seemed to have heard something funny. He sneered and said, "The black iron is not rusty for a hundred years and is unbreakable. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't break free. There are two keys, and I don't have them now. What am I afraid of? "
He really had nothing to fear. Mu Mingtang didn't say anything. She just quietly watched him show off the black iron chain's safety.
Separated by a layer of curtain, she couldn't see clearly. Xie Xuanji still wanted to get closer, but he was suddenly stopped by Mu Mingtang, "Wait."
Xie Xuanji impatiently turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Mingtang pointed at the pile of clothes on the round stool and said, "I just changed my clothes and didn't have time to tidy them up. It's not good for you to come too close."
Xie Xuanji glanced to the side. His expression was very patient. He had never seen such a shameless person like Mu Mingtang. As a woman, how could she say such things?
But Xie Xuanji really couldn't go forward. In any case, he only came today to confirm. Now that he saw Hsieh Hyun-chen lying down, he could feel at ease.
Xie Xuanji coldly rolled up his sleeves and strode out. Mu Mingtang was overjoyed. She quickly followed and happily sent this god of plague out.
After the two of them walked out of the bedroom, Xie Xuanji suddenly stopped and said, "Do you have any resentment in your heart about my marriage with Ming Wei?"
Mu Mingtang almost sneered. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said coldly, "You two are childhood sweethearts. You two have deep feelings for each other. You teamed up to set me up. Prince Jin, what do you think?"
Xie Xuanji looked at her and sighed softly. He clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Forget it. In the end, I owe you for this matter. Although you like me, Ming Wei's position is unshakable. Only she will be my wife. Feelings can't be forced. You should get over it as soon as possible. Do you have anything else to say? "
"Yes, just one sentence." Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanji and said, "I don't like you."
Xie Xuanji suddenly choked. He couldn't help but frown, "Are you loosening the reins only to grasp them better?"
"You think too much. I've never liked you." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Prince Jin, take care."
Now that the door was open, outsiders could hear Mu Mingtang's words. Mu Mingtang forcibly sent the guest away. Xie Xuanji had to leave even if he didn't want to. He looked at Mu Mingtang with a look of disdain. He didn't want to talk to Mu Mingtang anymore and quickly walked out.
Xie Xuanji stepped out of the threshold and stood in the corridor. He ordered in a clear voice, "Prince Qi Yang's condition is unstable these days. You should be vigilant. Once Prince Qi Yang wakes up, immediately report to me."
"Yes!"
When Mu Mingtang heard this, she secretly curled her lips. In fact, he was awake now. He was just listening to you.
After Xie Xuanji finished speaking, he looked back at Mu Mingtang with a pair of indifferent eyes, "Five days later, this prince and the princess will be married. I'll have to trouble Princess Qi Yang to attend."
"Of course." Mu Mingtang smiled at him, and then slammed the door in front of everyone.
After closing the door, Mu Mingtang was still angry at Xie Xuanji's self-righteousness. She gritted her teeth and walked back to the bedroom. She found that Hsieh Hyun-chen had already sat up and was looking at her. His eyes seemed to be smiling, yet not smiling, "How wonderful."
Unclean? When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she became strangely silent.
