Chapter 112 8 gossip?
"what?"
Xiao Mu was stunned at first, but then he realized Liu Yunniang's joking and burst into laughter.
"You, this night-shining pearl is not that easy to get. I spent a lot of effort to find it. If you really like it, I will look for it again. I will find it eventually."
Liu Yunniang felt warm in her heart when she saw Xiao Mu's doting eyes.
"Okay, I know you're thoughtful. But this night-shining pearl is so precious, it would be a waste if you just gave it to me to use as a candle."
Xiao Mu gently held Liu Yunniang's hand.
"In my eyes, as long as you like it, I will find it for you no matter how hard it is to find. Besides, in my eyes, this thing is just an ordinary bead, except that it is slightly larger."
It would be a lie for Liu Yunniang to say that she was not touched. She did not really intend to use such a large bead as a candle, so she prepared to put the night pearl back into the box.
But he was stopped by Xiao Mu, who gently placed the box containing the beads on the table beside the bed.
"Just leave it here! Look how bright it is. You can cover it up during the day. There's no need to collect it."
Liu Yunniang sighed helplessly and laughed secretly in her heart.
This guy is really something.
If anyone had such a gem, they would probably keep it as an heirloom, but he just didn't care and placed it casually in front of his bed.
The two sat quietly for a while, enjoying this warm moment.
Liu Yunniang suddenly remembered what happened in Prince Shun's Mansion. She frowned slightly.
"Xiao Mu, how is Murong Jin now?"
Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, his eyes cold.
"Shunwang Mansion is quite busy today. I'm afraid Murong Jin has been too busy to take care of himself these days?"
"Oh?"
When Liu Yunniang heard this, she became very curious. This was some gossip!
Xiao Mu naturally noticed the curiosity in the woman's eyes. At this moment, she was no longer as calm as usual and seemed particularly lively.
He gently held her in his arms and continued speaking.
"Murong Jin's biological mother was originally just a daughter of a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. Because of her beauty, she was taken into the Shun Prince's palace. Later, she gave birth to Murong Jin. Relying on this, she was able to surpass other concubines at the time and was named a concubine. Although she has not been favored as before, she has lived a decent life in Shun Prince's palace. However, today, her childhood sweetheart cousin came to the door. It is said that Concubine Wen sent people to kidnap the cousin's family. He had no other choice but to come to the door to ask the princess for help. It is said that the two of them have some private affair."
"No way? Who would walk into a trap and come to die? If he goes there, will Prince Shun let him go?"
Liu Yunniang immediately felt that something was wrong. Was Wen's cousin a fool?
Xiao Mu smiled, Yunniang, you are really perceptive.
"Yunniang is indeed a smart woman. The appearance of Chen Zicong was arranged by Princess Shun."
is her?
Liu Yunniang was a little surprised when she thought of the gentle and kind Princess Shun.
"Why would she do this?"
However, after she asked this question, she felt that her question was stupid. What else could it be for?
How many wives and concubines can live in peace?
"Compared to Prince Shun, Princess Shun is a rare insightful person. However, I didn't expect that she would be trapped by the struggle in the harem."
Liu Yunniang couldn't help but sigh that the struggle in this deep courtyard was so insidious and cunning.
She didn't know what happened to Princess Shun, but she couldn't help feeling sad. No matter what kind of woman she was, it seemed that she always had to fight against all odds.
For the family, for the husband, for the children...
She looked at Xiao Mu, and a hint of barely perceptible worry flashed in her eyes.
If she didn't want to marry him, could she really avoid all that?
Xiao Mu also saw her hesitation from her expression. She could never fully trust herself.
However, Xiao Mu was not discouraged. He had not done enough. Once he cleared all the obstacles, Yunniang would definitely let down her guard.
"Don't worry, Princess Shun is not doing this for Prince Shun's favor. She is an absolutely sober person. I'm afraid she is the one who is most looking forward to Prince Shun's fall."
Xiao Mu saw the woman in his arms looking at him sideways, motioning him to continue, looking much more obedient.
"She was trying to protect herself."
Xiao Mu saw through all this.
"Prince Shun is extremely licentious, and the palace is already in tatters. If he continues like this, I'm afraid the entire palace will be destroyed. His Majesty doesn't like Prince Shun, and now that the Queen Mother is still alive, I'm afraid that Prince Shun will be the first to be liquidated. In addition, Murong Jin's scandals have been one after another, and it's rare that Princess Shun has been able to endure until now. Therefore, she has to take action to save Prince Shun's palace, not Prince Shun, in order to maintain her position."
When Liu Yunniang heard this, she was shocked.
She originally thought that Princess Shun was just trying to win favor, but she didn't expect there was such a deep-seated reason.
"It seems that I was thinking too one-sidedly."
Liu Yunniang sighed.
Xiao Mu gently held her hand and said softly,
"Women in the capital are not alone. If she is not careful, the Anguo Mansion behind Princess Shun will be implicated by Prince Shun. Instead of this, she might as well do it herself and remove the cancer of Prince Shun."
Liu Yunniang nodded.
Could it be that what Xiao Mu meant was that Your Majesty has been patient with Prince Shun for too long?
This man is highly valued by His Majesty, so he must have known this a long time ago!
No, this person knows so much, so could he be behind this?
Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang turned around and stared at Xiao Mu with her beautiful eyes.
Xiao Mu was a little uncomfortable with her sudden gaze. His eyes flickered slightly, but he pretended to be calm and asked,
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Liu Yunniang narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Xiao Mu, is this something you are behind?"
Xiao Mu's heart tightened, but he showed an innocent expression on his face, pretending to be stupid,
"What handiwork? I don't understand what you mean."
Liu Yunniang snorted softly.
"Don't play dumb. You know so much about the Shun Palace, and you still say you weren't involved?"
Xiao Mu gently hugged Liu Yunniang, stroking her back, trying to change the subject.
"Yunniang, stop imagining things. I am just a bystander."
However, Liu Yunniang did not buy it. She broke free from Xiao Mu's embrace and continued to ask,
"Xiao Mu, tell me honestly, were you involved in this?"
Seeing that he could no longer conceal it, Xiao Mu could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, I admit that I did pay attention to the things happening in Prince Shun's Mansion. But I didn't deliberately push anything, I just went with the flow."
Liu Yunniang frowned.
"Go with the flow? What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with Prince Shun. This is something that everyone in the court knows. I just gave some hints to some people at the right time. Then, I accidentally found out some things and sent some evidence of Wen's affair with the adulterer to Princess Shun."
