C182 Apologize

When Yu Longchen returned, Yu Longtang didn't look at him or ask anything. Instead, it was Consort Long who gave it to him. She was very concerned about Mu Ruqing.

Mu Ruqing only casually looked at the things that were delivered in front of Old wet nurse. She did not take a closer look. Her almond eyes did not show any gratitude or annoyance. No matter how pleasant Old wet nurse's words sounded, there was only one sentence, "Thank you Consort Long."

Old wet nurse did not say anything else and after exchanging a few pleasantries, she did not manage to get anything out of it and could only return in disappointment.

Yu Longchen had not returned from the court and Mu Ruqing was bored. She suddenly thought of Xiangyi. She was wearing a plain brocade robe and Lingyue brought her to that small room.

Mu Ruqing looked at the shabby house and was not very sad. Although she was good to Xiangyi, it was when Xiangyi treated her sincerely. She was just a little angry that Xiangyi harmed herself.

After making eye contact, Lingyue pushed open the door and the light shone in. She heard the sound of straws being stepped on and Xiangyi's breathing.

Lingyue walked in first and Xiangyi's dark circles became heavier and heavier. Her skin was haggard and there was a faint smell of excrement in the room. Xiangyi knelt down and crawled over from the corner.

She did not raise her head to look at Lingyue and only stared at the large open door.

"You want to go out?" This time, Lingyue did not stop her and followed her crawling body to turn. In Lingyue's eyes, the current Xiangyi was like a maggot.

Xiangyi ignored her and only knew how to say one sentence, "I want to go out, I want to go out, I want to go out..."

Her head was not even as high as her shoulders and her dirty fingers were placed on the threshold. A trace of joy climbed up in her heart. Before Xiangyi had time to experience the taste of joy, she touched a pair of milky white embroidered shoes and did not dare to move at all.

"Where do you want to go?" The shoes moved and walked to the place where Xiangyi's head was, "Wherever you go, you will always be in the Imperial Residence." Meaning that you will not be able to escape from my palm no matter where you go.

Xiangyi trembled and her hand also retracted. She slowly raised her head and only saw Mu Ruqing's neck. She immediately lowered her head and turned around to climb into the room.

Mu Ruqing grabbed her foot. "What are you going back for? Didn't you say there was a ghost inside? Aren't you afraid?"

" Princess, Wang... Concubine. " Xiangyi shrank her legs and did not pull it out. Her whole body directly fell on the straw and the air that blew out lifted up the dust.

"In less than a month, how did you become like this?" Mu Ruqing did not have a smile on her face and grabbed Xiangyi's hand with some force. "Tell me, who is that ghost? Other than it, I will not have to worry about you."

"Wow!" Xiangyi suddenly screamed. She raised her hands high and hit the ground with a heavy hammer. There was a cracking sound of bones hitting the ground.

Lingyue squatted down and grabbed Xiangyi's hand. Xiangyi was restrained and her head tilted to the side. She breathed heavily and her unwashed hair stuck to her face that was black and white. Only her hair that was close to her lips was blown up and down.

"How long has it been since you took a bath?" Mu Ruqing squatted down and looked at Xiangyi with some regret, "Follow me. I will clean up for you."

"No... Princess, I was wrong... Please spare me..." Xiangyi's tears flowed down her temples with regret.

"Hehe. I just want to wash you clean." Mu Ruqing smiled innocently and looked like she did not understand, "Lingyue, pull her away to avoid scaring the others."

"Yes." Lingyue was also good at martial arts. She grabbed Xiangyi's hands and pushed her to follow behind Mu Ruqing.

Along the way, they met a few old mothers who saw Xiangyi pointing and pointing at them. They even covered their noses. Mu Ruqing hit the brick and returned to her original appearance.

"White Lotus." Lingyue shouted at the white lotus in the pile of people.

White Lotus raised his head and looked confused. "May I know what orders you have?"

"Hurry up and prepare the bath water. It is in that side room." Lingyue pointed to the room in front and Xiangyi did not move the moment she stopped. Xiangyi turned her head and stared at the white lotus with a resentful gaze.

The white lotus shrunk its neck. This was the first time they had met since Xiangyi was locked up.

"Yes." White Lotus responded. No matter what, she had to bite the bullet and go back to the kitchen to boil hot water.

Mu Ruqing gave Lingyue a satisfied look. You still understand my feelings.

After bringing Xiangyi into the room, Mu Ruqing flung her long sleeves. Sitting on the main seat, an old mother served tea. It turned out that she wanted to say a few words. He wanted Mu Ruqing to remember him. Luckily, that group of old ladies showed off. But when she saw Mu Ruqing's cold expression, she retreated dejectedly.

"I'm leaving. Are you happy?" Mu Ruqing picked up the tea and took a sip. Her tone was calm.

Xiangyi got up from the ground and knelt down. Her fingers were trembling in front of her mouth and she did not speak.

"Do you know that I am injured?" Mu Ruqing placed the teacup heavily, "Do you know that I fell down the cliff? Do you know that I lost my first child?"

Lingyue was shocked. She did not even know that Mu Ruqing had a child. At this moment, looking at Xiangyi's expression, it all turned into anger. Her two hands were clenched into fists and she could not find a place to place them.

Xiangyi cried and tears rolled down her face, "Sorry... I..."

"Tell me, is my mother related to this matter?" Mu Ruqing just wanted to confirm that there were some things that she did not want to hear personally.

"I can't say..."

"Is your apology all fake? I thought I could only see your grave when I came back." Mu Ruqing's eyes became fierce, "Sect Leader who still wants to protect you or my mother?"

"Princess, why are you forcing me?"

"Forcing you? Are you saying the opposite? You know how I treat you. How do you repay me? Today I am only asking you a question, but you are trying to find the right words. You think I don't know? I just want to ask you so that I can give up on myself."

" I'm sorry. But I still have a family. If I say it, they will all die."

" Then I'll ask you, you answer. It's not what you say. Besides, you only have one path. "

Xiangyi did not speak and her spirit became much more normal. She still did not dare to look Mu Ruqing in the eyes and only nodded her head.

"Your mistress is my mother but this time you were directly ordered by the Sect Leader that you have never seen before. Right?"

Xiangyi struggled for a long time but still nodded her head.

"A tiger does not eat its child. My mother has long suspected it." Mu Ruqing did not ask Xiangyi and continued to speak to herself. The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, "Why are there only two questions? Why did it take so much effort?"

"Wang Fei." Seeing that Mu Ruqing did not continue to ask, Xiangyi was puzzled instead, "Why did you not ask?"

"I know." Mu Ruqing flung her sleeves and walked to the door. She turned her head sideways, "I will let White Lotus help you wash up later. Hehe, there are only the two of you in the room. But if you want to run, save it."

She looked at Mu Ruqing's back as she walked away. It was White Lotus who caused her to be suspected. It was her! It was all her fault...

Lingyue walked in front of Xiangyi and lifted her hand before putting it back down. She gritted her teeth and said, "If I beat you, you would steal my hand."

White Lotus carried it in and when he saw Lingyue, before he could ask anything, he heard Lingyue's order, "Help her bathe and change her clothes. This is the order of the Princess."

"Yes." Since she had already said so much, how could White Lotus dare to refuse? Just by looking at Xiangyi's expression, she felt a little regretful.

Only the two of them were left in the room. Lingyue stood at the door and listened to the sounds in the room. Her heart finally felt a little better.
