Chapter 130 The Rebirth of Black-Hearted Lotus in Ancient Times (7) (1/2)
At this moment, Mu Qingrong finally remembered the nature of Linjiang King Lin Shiheng.
Love and desire bring life, hate and desire bring death.
In the previous life, she was the one he loved.
And this life...
Mu Qingrong was shivering with cold. She knelt on the ground, watching the servants obediently come forward, and then looked at Lin Shiheng who was gently comforting Mu Qingrong who was coughing, and finally woke up.
She seemed to be trapped in the situation of Mu Qingling in the previous life. No matter what she did, no matter how well she did, Lin Shiheng could not see it.
And he would attack her without mercy.
But how could this be!
She obviously lived a new life, didn't she?
In the previous life, she could easily take the emperor's favor into her arms, trample Mu Qingling under her feet, and kill those two little bastards with the help of her back.
Why in this life, she who has the memory of the previous life is disliked by Lin Shiheng?
Clearly, she knows what he likes, what he hates, what he likes to play, and what kind of personality he has.
It should be much simpler.
This is wrong, this is wrong...
Mu Qingrong was in a state of confusion, but this did not prevent her from seeing the servants who were ordered to throw her into the water surrounding her with cold eyes.
A tooth had just fallen out, and there was a fishy smell in her mouth.
With this fishy smell, Mu Qingrong knelt down and begged for mercy in humiliation and collapse: "Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Qingrong remembered it wrong, it was Qingrong who remembered it wrong."
"It was Bo'er who pushed Qingrong just now, not my sister!!"
After these words came out, the man standing in the pavilion above waved his hand with satisfaction: "Okay, you can go down."
The servants who were about to step forward bowed their heads respectfully without stuttering, and only Mu Qingrong was left on the shore below.
She looked very embarrassed now, because her previous idea was "her innocence was ruined, and she had to marry the King of Linjiang as a concubine". Mu Qingrong deliberately wore light-colored clothes, which stuck to her body after being soaked in water, showing her body curves completely.
The beauty was soaked by water, her clothes were half-removed, her beautiful eyes were full of resentment and pity in tears, she leaned forward slightly, and looked very pitiful.
Mu Qingrong didn't care about her reputation anymore, just pretended not to see the eyes of the servants sticking to her, coughed twice, and spoke softly, while facing the seductive part of her body to Lin Shiheng: "Brother-in-law, I'm so cold..."
She was able to win the love of two generations of emperors, naturally not only relying on this sometimes despicable means, but also on that stunning face.
Mu Qingrong was very beautiful. When she lowered her status and sincerely seduced someone, even if the male servants on the shore had previously despised her for framing the princess and being so shameless, they still couldn't help but feel itchy in their throats after seeing such a stunning and charming posture.
The King of Linjiang, who was originally patting the princess's back to comfort her, seemed to be attracted.
He looked down and said in a clear voice: "Smile for me."
Mu Qingrong was delighted. Although she knew that the occasion was not right, she immediately raised her head upwards.
As a favorite concubine, she had practiced at what angle she could smile the most beautifully and most attractively.
The next second, a slightly charming smile appeared on Mu Qingrong's face.
In her previous life, every time she smiled like this, Lin Shiheng would not be able to control himself and carry her to bed. The two of them were so happy.
If she did it again, she would only do better than in her previous life.
Mu Qingrong was full of confidence, and her eyes slowly raised with a little hope, looking at the man in gorgeous clothes standing above.
"Puff!!"
Lin Shiheng looked at her and laughed out loud: "Puff hahahahaha!! Princess, look hahahaha."
Mu Qingling, who was relatively calm from beginning to end, or rather, she was not in a good state from beginning to end, looked over.
Then, she, who was always dignified, couldn't help it.
"Puff!"
Realizing that she had made such an indecent sound, Mu Qingling quickly took up a handkerchief to cover her mouth, but the corners of her lips that were raised could not be put down.
Mu Qingrong was extremely angry and inexplicably annoyed by their laughter, and she suddenly felt uneasy.
Before, she had been worried that she would be silenced, and she didn't care about anything else. Now that her life was no longer threatened, and she was scared by the laughter of the couple above, Mu Qingrong was finally able to spare a little attention to check if there was anything wrong with her.
She did find out what was wrong very quickly.
Mu Qingrong, who was soaked all over, used her tongue to touch the tooth on the left side of her front teeth. It was empty.
She had just dodged the bamboo pole and swam up desperately. With one effort, she bit off the tooth.
If it was a back molar, it would be fine, but it happened to be next to the front teeth. As long as she spoke or smiled, it would be perfectly displayed.
So in the eyes of Lin Shiheng and Mu Qingling, it was a stunning beauty smiling, and then a dark tooth gap was revealed...
Mu Qingling looked at the person below who was gradually showing despair on his face in disbelief. The anger of being framed before was gone before it rose.
After all, things happened too quickly.
From the time Mu Qingrong was pushed into the water to the time Lin Shiheng came over, she didn't even have time to find "evidence that she didn't push anyone into the water", and Lin Shiheng solved it for her directly.
Now, looking at Mu Qingrong with a tooth gap, Mu Qingling really couldn't hate her. She just wanted to laugh.
It's like an ant came thousands of miles away and wanted to step on you, but it didn't hurt you at all, and even broke a bone. The scene was very funny.
Mu Qingrong has lost a tooth now, and it is still in such an important place. It is impossible for her to stay silent and show her teeth for the rest of her life. Nowadays, it is difficult for a woman to get married even if she has scars on her body. In a situation like Mu Qingrong's, it is simply It can be called a huge flaw.
At least no one with a good reputation would hire her. Even though she is beautiful, if she can't hold back her smile, she looks like a toothless person.
The capital is full of respectable families, who would want a daughter-in-law like this who would not only be unable to hold her own head high, but would also be ridiculed outside.
Thinking that the sisters below were not yet married, Mu Qingling looked at her husband beside her: "Your Majesty, what happened today..."
"Princess, don't worry. As long as Miss Mu San doesn't say anything about what happened today, no one will know."
Lin Shiheng is very confident.
As a prince, he would definitely take his personal guards with him when traveling. Even if he went to the princess's natal home, as a member of the royal family, he would take them with him wherever he went.
And Mu Qingling married him, so she was also a member of the royal family. She was admiring flowers before. In order to ensure her safety, everyone in the garden was driven out, and the guards were on three floors inside and three outside. It covered the entire garden to ensure that no one could disturb the princess's interest in admiring the flowers.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Qingrong made a serious appointment with Mu Qingling to enjoy the flowers instead of trying to have a chance encounter.
So, now it is Lin Shiheng who wants to drown the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion in the garden of the Hou Mansion, but no one can control it.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Mu Qingrong really drowned today, as long as Lin Shiheng ordered the seal to be sealed, no one would know that she did not die from falling into the water.
Just like in Mu Qingrong's previous life, the emperor killed the queen himself, but everyone thought that the queen died of a serious illness.
Mu Qingrong covered her mouth in shame and looked at Mu Qingling who was smiling above, her heart filled with anger.
This honor should have belonged to her.
The position of princess, and even the position of queen in the future, should belong to her, Mu Qingrong.
But now, it was taken away by Mu Qingling.
King Linjiang had enough of the excitement, and after warning Mu Qingrong, he took his princess and left the garden.
Mu Qingrong didn't dare to appear like this now. If the servants of the Hou Mansion saw it, she would not be able to clear her reputation.
She could only huddle inside the rockery, shivering while waiting for the clothes on her body to dry.
Hatred made her brain less clear.
Obviously everything was the same as in his previous life. Lin Shiheng fell in love with her at first sight in the temple, but why, when they met again, his eyes towards her showed no pity, only disgust and coldness?
In her previous life, Mu Qingrong had served him for so long and had done so many things to keep her favor. She could confidently say that she knew Lin Shiheng well enough.
Lin Shiheng has always been patient enough when it comes to beauties. Only when dealing with those who are ugly will he be full of opinions and comments.
Mu Qingrong has 100% confidence in her appearance. Although Mu Qingling can be considered a beauty, if compared with her, she will always overshadow her.
According to Lin Shiheng's character, how could he help Mu Qingling deal with her?
What went wrong?
Mu Qingrong finally dried her clothes and returned to her yard in embarrassment. She saw the girl waiting beside her coming up to her with panic in her eyes.
"Girl, Bo'er seems to have angered the prince, so he was beaten many times and sent back."
Not dead.
Mu Qingrong was filled with anger towards this girl who was doing things poorly. She was about to say don't ask the doctor to let her fend for herself, but something suddenly occurred to her. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I'll go see her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl in front of him staring at her teeth in shock. Mu Qingrong's eyes froze and she slapped her.
"Where have all the rules gone!"
The girl covered her face and knelt on the ground in grievance, "I know I was wrong."
As for why she originally wanted to ask the third girl why her teeth fell out even after going out, she didn't dare to ask anymore.
Mu Qingrong arrived at Bo'er's house and smelled the smell of blood as soon as she entered. She frowned with a hint of impatience in her eyes.
Bo'er was lying on the bed dying, and three maids were taking care of her carefully. When they saw Mu Qingrong coming in, they quickly stepped forward and said, "Girl."
"Okay, you all go down."
"yes."
Everyone had left. Mu Qingrong originally wanted to sit by the bed, but after looking at the girl's bed, she really disliked it, so she simply stood aside and looked down at Bo, who had cold sweat on his forehead and saw herself struggling to get out of bed to salute. Son.
"What's going on? It's clear that the prince liked you so much before. How did you anger him?"
Bo'er clearly saw the cold look in Mu Qingrong's eyes, and felt a chill in her heart. She quickly endured the pain and answered intermittently: "I don't know, I don't know. It was clear that the prince liked me very much before, and it was less than half an hour before and after. The slave’s eyes are full of disgust.”
She coughed and tried to ignore the pain in her buttocks, "Girl, I really did what you asked me to do, but my lord..."
"okay!"
Mu Qingrong originally thought she could get some useful information out of her, but she still didn't know anything about it, and her eyes became even colder.
She calculated that this girl knew that she had too many things, and seeing her in such a mess, she probably couldn't keep her, otherwise she would be a disaster.
Since she happened to be injured, it was logical that the injury would not be cured.
Bo'er did not miss the flash of killing intent in Mu Qingrong's eyes. Her body suddenly tensed up and her brain was spinning rapidly.
Seeing Mu Qingrong turn around and leave, her desire for survival made her scream sharply: "Girl! Servant! Servant, I remember!!"
"Previously, the prince was very fond of the slave's appearance and was full of praises. That appearance was definitely not fake. But when they met again, he seemed to not recognize the slave anymore and even asked the princess who the slave was."
"It's been less than two hours since then!! Even if the prince is forgetful, I'm afraid he can't forget about this slave so quickly."
Mu Qingrong paused in her steps. Lin Shiheng did not have this problem in his previous life.
She vaguely felt that she had caught something, and immediately asked: "Other than that? Is there anything else unusual about the prince?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Bo'er immediately said: "The prince praised my beauty before, but in the garden, he said personally that my appearance is ugly. My appearance is not one ten thousandth of that of a girl, but I will not suddenly become extremely ugly in one day!" "
She guessed: "I'm afraid the prince has some strange disease that makes him treat the girl like this."
Mu Qingrong squinted her eyes, her heart turbulent.
How could he have a strange disease? In her previous life, she had taken care of him for so long.
A suspicion deepened in her mind.
Why did Lin Shiheng not get close to her in this life and even disliked her? Why did he protect Mu Qingling so much? Why did he change so much.
Mu Qingrong clenched her fist tightly.
"Mu Qingling must have used some evil spell on the prince!"
The prince loves beauties, so Mu Qingling resorted to this method in order to keep her position as princess.
No wonder Mu Qingling never became as angry as before after several provocations by her.
How can I get angry when I have support in my heart?
Thinking like this, Mu Qingrong felt confident.
She came into contact with Lin Shiheng again in her previous life after his death in this life, which was still a year away. Maybe by then, Mu Qingling's magic spell would have lost its effectiveness.
No wonder everything is different in this life. Did she appear too early?
She can wait quietly for another year, and then, as long as she reappears in front of King Linjiang, everything will return to its original position.
Mu Qingrong planned well, but she never expected that in her current situation, the Hou Mansion would be willing to let her have time to wait.
When she was called to her mother's yard, Mu Qingrong thought it was like before, that her mother had gotten some good jewelry and wanted to give it to her. But after going there, she heard news that was no less than bad news for her.
"What? You want me to marry to Shannan?"
Mu Qingrong almost immediately slapped the table and stood up, "I won't marry!"
The second lady sighed: "Qing Rong, it's really not up to you this time. You didn't win the draft, and now you're like this. The good people in Beijing really look down on you."
"Be obedient, your parents have arranged for you to be the second son of the Shannan magistrate. Although he is a bit older and has some disadvantages in his legs and feet, and he has married a wife, he has no children. If you marry him and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible, you will have someone to rely on in the future. ”
Mu Qingrong simply couldn't believe her ears.
He is old, his legs and feet are weak, and he has been married before.
Such a man actually wants her to marry?
She was angry and aggrieved, "I won't marry! Why should I marry such a person!"
The second lady frowned, always feeling that her daughter's temper had gotten worse since Mu Qingling got married, and she was not as well-behaved as before.
She simply picked up the bronze mirror and handed it to Mu Qingrong, letting her look at herself inside.
"Look at how you look now. One of your teeth is missing, and it's still the front tooth. It's exposed when you talk. What's the use of having a nice face?!"
"Now, mother, I can be sure that if you go out like this, no one with any background in the entire capital will be willing to marry you. If you continue to delay, you will become old and yellow, and you will not be able to marry."
"Okay, that's it. You look like this now. Your father thinks you are embarrassed, so he has already exchanged marriage papers with someone else. It just so happens that the husband of that family returns to Beijing to visit relatives. In early September, you can get married."
After the second lady finished speaking, she went out. She also felt sorry for her daughter, but compared with her son, she was still not as good as her son.
Instead of marrying her daughter in the capital and being ridiculed because her teeth hurt her brothers, it is better to marry her from afar. At worst, just add some extra dowry.
Mu Qingrong, who was livid with anger, was the only one left in the room.
--Snapped! !
She dropped the tea cup on the table to the ground and gasped in anger.
She is a beloved concubine, the future queen, and a person who has lived a new life. How could she marry such a person.
no! !
She must find a way! !
King Linchuan has been very distressed recently because his third emperor brother has become obsessed with hunting and takes him to practice riding and shooting every day.
He didn't like riding and shooting, but as a concubine who died early, he was raised by the Queen Mother for several years. He barely survived because he was young and did not participate in the palace struggles. Even though the Queen Mother was very fond of him as a son raised by her side. Like it, King Linchuan was also very self-aware and regarded himself as the Queen Mother's biological son, King Linjiang Lin Shiheng's little tail.
Therefore, even if he didn't like riding and shooting, King Linchuan still bit the bullet and started practicing hard. While practicing, he hoped that Brother Sanhuang would change his hobby soon.
After a tiring day, his way to relax is to go to the Happy Pavilion and enjoy himself.
Of course, he was young, so he naturally didn't go there to enjoy women, but to watch the singing and dancing there. However, most of the men who came to Happy Pavilion wanted to enjoy women.
One day, King Linchuan walked to his fixed box with a tired body, and saw a woman in men's clothes standing there.
Seeing him, the woman smiled, revealing a gap in her teeth.
King Linchuan: "..."
A quarter of an hour later, he looked at the person in front of him with a confused face: "You mean, the third brother is possessed by evil? You want me to go to the palace to ask the queen mother to exorcise the evil for the third brother?"
"That's right."
Mu Qingrong was able to find this place because of her memories in her previous life. In her previous life, as the emperor, Lin Shiheng would go out of the palace from time to time to have fun, and as his favorite concubine, Mu Qingrong was also taken out several times, so she naturally knew the fixed place where the two brothers gathered.
She still remembered the admiration and love of King Linchuan for her when she wanted to cut her flesh to save her sister last time, so it was natural for her to ask King Linchuan for help.
"Prince, you must save your brother-in-law. He is really strange now. Think about it carefully. Did he like him the first time he met him, but hated him the second time he met him?"
Prince Linchuan thought about it carefully.
Really not.
It was during this period that the emperor's brother changed.
But the third emperor's mood was always unstable, so he didn't take it seriously.
But think about it, his mother died because of the idle prince of the present emperor. He went to the palace and said to the present emperor that your brother was possessed by evil spirits because he didn't like to play with women anymore. Hurry up and find a master to exorcise the evil spirits.
Think about how much the present emperor loves this brother.
Prince Linchuan shuddered and came back to his senses from his imagination.
He will be beaten to death, he will.
Looking at Mu Qingrong in front of him, she still looked like "You believe me, you are right to believe me".
Prince Linchuan recalled how many people knew about the gathering place between him and the third emperor, and thought about the fact that the person in front of him was a daughter of a rich family, but appeared in a brothel.
He was a pure ancient man, and he would never have the thought of "Ah, this woman is so pure, so unpretentious, and completely different from those people outside" or "She is so courageous, she dares to come here" and so on.
At this moment, there was only one sentence in the mind of King Linchuan.
I don't know who will marry this Miss Mu San who can run to the brothel in the future. It's really unfortunate for the family.
Thinking about the fact that I had a good impression of her before, it was a close call.
Of course, because he was not sure why Mu Qingrong, the sister-in-law, was meddling in other people's affairs, and why she was so powerful that she knew their secret base, King Linchuan still agreed to go to the palace to find the queen mother with a look of "yes, I believe it" on his face.
Mu Qingrong left with satisfaction.
When King Linchuan saw her leave, his expression changed back, pouted, got up and went to the Linjiang Palace.
He had to talk to his third brother. This sister-in-law looked abnormal.
Mu Qingrong naturally didn't know that King Linchuan had sold her out. She returned to the mansion with a hint of excitement, imagining that after Lin Shiheng recovered, he would be extremely grateful to her as his savior.
The next day, she was summoned by the Queen Mother to enter the palace.
I didn't expect King Linchuan to be so reliable.
Mu Qingrong followed the palace maid sent by the Queen Mother into the palace with a happy look.
As soon as she entered the palace, she saw King Linchuan standing below, watching his nose and heart.
She passed by him and whispered, "Thank you, Your Highness."
King Linchuan recalled the gloomy face of his third brother yesterday, coughed dryly, and thought to himself, don't thank me, just pray for your own good fortune.
The Queen Mother asked, and Mu Qingrong knelt on the ground and said her guess.
Of course, she didn't say that it was Mu Qingling who did it, she just said that except Mu Qingling, other women who were close to Lin Shiheng were affected.
The Queen Mother above had a gloomy face.
She still remembered this woman. It was only their royal family that didn't want anyone else. No one else didn't want the royal family.
"Okay, since you are so sure, I will invite Master Yuantong from Ganhua Temple."
When the emperor got the news and hurried over, he happened to catch up with Master Yuantong entering the palace.
After taking a look at Mu Qingrong, his face was not good, and his face was full of displeasure of "Why is it you again?"
Obviously, both mother and son are very narrow-minded, and he has not forgotten Mu Qingrong.
Master Yuantong has always been quite prestigious. The key is that he has lived a long life. He is 120 years old this year. In ancient times, he was considered a shrewd man.
The emperor was also very kind to him, "Master, today I trouble you to help look after my third brother."
Master Yuantong clasped his hands and chanted a Buddhist name, then turned around and looked at Lin Shiheng carefully for a long time.
"Does the prince think a woman is very beautiful when he first meets her, but suddenly finds her ugly when he meets her again?"
As soon as he said this, the Queen Mother and the Emperor became serious.
They haven't told Master Yuantong about Lin Shiheng's symptoms yet.
Mu Qingrong, who was standing by, showed a proud look in her eyes.
As expected, she was able to guess it after living a new life.
After Lin Shiheng nodded in affirmation, the Queen Mother immediately asked nervously: "Master, is there really a spell on my son? Is it harmful to his body?"
"No problem."
Master Yuantong chanted the Buddha's name again, "The prince just has a predestined relationship with Buddha and has opened a pair of wisdom eyes. It has no harm to his body."
"No matter how beautiful the beauty is, hundreds of years later, there will be only a withered skeleton left. The prince's eyes, the first time he sees a person, is with the ordinary eye, and the second time, it is with the wisdom eye."
"What he saw for the second time was not the woman's appearance, but her character. If she is a beautiful woman but her character is not good, the scene just mentioned will happen."
The Queen Mother suddenly realized it, felt reassured, and felt that this thing was too psychedelic.
The emperor wanted to be more sober and asked directly: "Then why does this happen when Shi Heng only looks at women?"
"Amitabha."
Master Yuantong clasped his palms together, recited the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "After the eyes of wisdom are opened, it is up to the prince to decide which aspect he wants to see."
The emperor recalled the glorious history of his younger brother who started flirting with beautiful palace maids when he was twelve years old. After leaving the palace, he even wandered around the brothel every day and could not walk around after seeing beauties.
He coughed in embarrassment and began to respect his younger brother: "I have told you a long time ago that Shi Heng is pure and kind and upright, so he is naturally immune to all evil."
The Queen Mother also nodded, "What the emperor said is that Shi Heng is also good at both civil and military affairs. He has always had both ability and political integrity. It is normal for him to have a predestined relationship with Buddha."
Master Yuantong looked at the Emperor and the Queen Mother, who was trying hard to push all the good qualities to her younger brother and son. He wanted to say that opening one's eyes to wisdom has little to do with a person's character. However, thinking of the closed-mouthed mantra admired by Master Shunfeng who had passed away long ago, he still changed this sentence The words were swallowed.
On this side, Linjiang Wang Lin Shiheng was also very happy to have his eyes opened. He took the boastful words of his mother, queen and brother into his own body without any politeness, and patted his chest.
"So that's it. Why do I think that every time I come to visit my mother, I see stunning women who look like fairies descending to earth? I thought I had some strange disease!"
This is simply saying nakedly that the Queen Mother has good conduct.
The Queen Mother was so coaxed by his words that she smiled from ear to ear, "You child, you are like a fairy. You are used to making the Queen Mother happy."
Master Yuantong beside him silently thought that his eyes could only see people under the age of forty. He put his palms together and lowered his eyes, silently reciting in his heart:
Close your mouth, close your mouth.
Lin Shiheng said with a playful smile, "Even if I haven't opened my eyes to wisdom, in the hearts of my children, my mother is as beautiful as a fairy."
"How does she look like that Miss Mu San? Just one look at her makes me so sick that I can't eat."
For a moment, all eyes fell on Mu Qingrong, who stood there dumbly after hearing the wisdom eye.
There was a sense that everyone knew how to delve into it, and they looked carefully at her stunning face.
Tsk, this man’s character is worrisome.
