Chapter 51: Little Cannon Fodder, Big Dreams (4)
The next day,
Mu Yan was wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting lazily and casually on the chaise longue, looking down at Xie Wanhua who was kneeling on the ground and offering her tea.
Xie Wanhua was holding a cup of hot tea in her hands at the moment, with a look of humiliation on her face, and her lips were bitten white.
"Madam, please have some tea." She would one day repay Xie Wanyu a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the humiliation she suffered today.
Mu Yan stretched out her hand, but before she even touched the teacup, she suddenly waved away Xie Wanhua's hand holding the tea.
"Bitch, you want to burn me to death, don't you?"
Li Lian was standing by, and Xie Wanhua didn't dare to say a word. She could only cover the back of her burned hand, lowering her head and crying in grievance.
"Madam, don't be angry. I'll have someone punish her," Li Lian said, smiling as he stepped forward to hand Mu Yan a handkerchief. He then said to the servant beside him,
"You guys take her away and starve her for a day to wake her up."
Xie Wanhua was dragged out of Muyan's room by the servant, and she didn't dare to say a word to defend herself from beginning to end.
Seeing that no one else was in the room, Li Lian offered Mu Yan a cup of tea at the right temperature. "Madam, could you please give me the antidote for today? I have something going on in the palace today, so I might not be able to come back tonight."
Mu Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, letting him stand there hunched over with the tea in his hand until Li Lian could hardly stand.
She took out a pill from her sleeve and put it on the table.
Li Lian put down the teacup, picked up the black pill on the table and swallowed it quickly.
Today's destiny comes again!
——
"Have you heard that the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu coveted the third daughter's husband and seduced him into her bed on the day she returned home?"
"Is this true? Isn't the Third Young Lady's husband the Third Prince? Every family in the capital with a daughter would avoid her. Some would even offer her up to the emperor."
"No doubt. My cousin's second aunt's aunt's eldest uncle's younger brother works as a servant in the Prime Minister's residence. He saw with his own eyes that the Prime Minister's eldest daughter was carried to the Prince's residence in a sedan chair that night."
"Strange things happen every year, but this year is especially strange."
…
Muyan was wearing men's clothes, holding a glass of peach wine in her hand, staring at the face of an ordinary young man, sitting in the corner of the tavern, listening casually to the guests chatting in the store.
Wanzai: "Now Xie Wanhua's dream of becoming the queen is completely extinguished."
Mu Yan took a sip of the wine, it was soft on the palate, and soon a faint scent of peach blossoms bloomed between her lips and teeth.
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget she has a bug."
Wanzai: "You mean she knows what's going to happen next?"
"uh-huh."
Maruzai: "Even if she gets all the golden fingers, they can't beat your little finger," pervert.
Mu Yan: "I'll take it as a compliment."
The news of Xie Wanhua soon reached Emperor Wu's ears. In a rage, he had Li Lian brought to the palace and given him twenty beatings with the cane.
Although Li Lian was beaten with twenty sticks, it did not affect his ability to leave the palace and ride back home on horseback.
The twenty lashes of the cane were only given to the Prime Minister to see, as a way of giving him face.
The one who beat him was the senior eunuch beside Emperor Wu, who knew Emperor Wu's thoughts very well.
When he hit Li Lian with the stick, he only touched him lightly.
Although Li Lian did not suffer much pain, the fact that he was beaten was now known to the entire capital.
After getting off his horse and entering the mansion, Li Lian went straight to the villa. Anyone who dared to embarrass him must be prepared to pay the price.
"Bang!"
Li Lian kicked the dark red wooden door open.
Xie Wanhua, who was sitting on the couch and daydreaming, was startled by the sudden sound of kicking the door.
The moment Xie Wanhua saw Li Lian appear in front of her with anger, she subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back.
He never came to her place during the day. What happened outside today?
Xie Wanhua tried to recall quickly, but she couldn't remember any useful information.
Ever since she arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, everything has been out of her control.
"My father has given you to me as a concubine today. Now the whole capital knows that the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family has hooked up with her own sister's husband."
Li Lian suddenly spoke, and Xie Wanhua was slow to react.
Or maybe she just didn't want to accept this fact.
She felt a sudden numbness in her scalp and subconsciously reached out to pull the hand that was pulling her hair.
As soon as he touched it, he was thrown out.
Afterwards, Xie Wanhua's entire body was filled with the pain from being punched and kicked.
As soon as Muyan entered the mansion, she heard screams coming from the other courtyard. She was too lazy to care and returned to her own courtyard.
As soon as he entered the room, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already night and the room was so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Mu Yan teleported to the head of Emperor Wu's bed.
On the huge bed, the fifty-year-old Emperor Wu was sleeping soundly with his arms around a beautiful concubine.
Wanzai couldn't help but complain: "The old man is still quite romantic. Even though he can't do it anymore, he still has to hug someone to sleep."
Mu Yan was busy with her hands, but she didn't forget to tease him, "Why, you want it too."
Maruzai: ...Please have a little respect for the system.
A month after Muyan broke into the Yangju Palace at night, he went to a village in the suburbs that was infected with an epidemic, wearing a long beard and an old Taoist face.
The day Muyan arrived, a sacrificial ceremony was being held in the village.
On a simple bamboo raft lay a little girl in a red wedding dress, who looked like she had just reached the age of marriage.
She looked calm, and if her eyes weren't wide open, people would probably think she was asleep.
"River God, River God, River God,"
"Here Comes the Bride"
"Here comes the bride,"
After nearly a hundred people finished shouting, they all knelt down by the river.
At this moment, an old Taoist with a long beard and wearing Taoist clothes, holding a peach wood sword, swung it at the air for a few times.
"The river god has awakened, light the fire, and send people away,"
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief held up a torch and lit a circle of red lanterns placed beside the bamboo raft. After the lanterns were lit, the bamboo raft was pushed into the river.
The little girl on the bamboo raft calmly looked at the villagers kneeling on the ground, and the bamboo raft quickly floated to the middle of the river.
At this moment, a swirling wave suddenly appeared in the middle of the river, and soon a huge pit appeared in the middle of the river.
The bamboo raft was quickly spun into the pit.
When the people on the shore saw the big pit appear, they bowed their heads and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Mu Yan watched the whole process, sneered, "Stupid x", and turned to walk towards the center of the river.
“Ahem…”
A cough suddenly filled the air.
Mu Yan glanced at the little girl on the bed indifferently, coughed for a while, and slowly opened her eyes.
The unfamiliar environment made her lose the peace she had felt while lying on the bamboo raft. She knelt on the bed in panic.
"River God, I, Xiao An, pay my respects to you," she said, and kowtowed three times in a row. After that, she rested her head on the bed, not daring to lift it up.
Mu Yan shook the whisk in her hand in a serious manner and said, "I am not the River God. I just happened to come across someone doing such a ridiculous thing. I couldn't bear it and took action."
The girl named Xiao An was even more panicked at this moment. "If you save me, the people in the village will suffer. No, I have to go back and ask Master Qingyi to hold another memorial ceremony."
With that, he hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out of the house.
When she ran out of the room, she found that she was in a dense forest. Apart from the house, there were only various trees that she couldn't name.
