Chapter 340: Scheming

They were placed in an apricot-yellow military tent five zhang away from the commander's tent, and all the surrounding military tents used by the generals were moved to another place. His Highness and concubine were ordered to serve the sick in the army, so naturally they had to avoid outsiders.

There was no one else to disturb her, so Mrs. Zhang hurriedly grabbed Wan Jingwen and was terrified. "Sister, you were too courageous just now. Without His Highness's consent, it's impossible to go forward and serve you like that..."

useless? She didn't see what she couldn't do. I didn't see that woman not only made it, but also made an inch of it.

Why does the woman Zong Zhenglin likes always confuse her. How did this widow suit his wishes this time? Shen Mo held the teacup, Wan Jingwen was tired of excuses, avoided Zhang's kind persuasion, and sat alone on the soft stool for a long time in thought.

"It's true, you said earlier that you would not interfere." Mu Xiyao took off her veil in the camp, pouted dissatisfiedly and stared at the lazy and leisurely man. It's not a good idea to put on a robe and tidy it up, and he's full of flamboyant temperament, so it's no wonder that Wan Jingwen wants to get close to him.

But the woman's expression at that time was in a trance with aftertaste, what does this mean? This is the second time, the expression in Wan's eyes made Mu Xiyao feel that there was something wrong. For the first time, it was the indelible resentment towards Helian Min in her eyes.

"Jiaojiao means, did this hall touch that fat?" The words were teasing, with no deep meaning.

Teasing her is just one of them. In addition, it was to test the woman who stretched out her hand directly to him. Wan Shi... really surprised him. According to the report from the hidden guard, she is the only person in the mansion who has never contradicted Shi Ji. Even Mrs. Zhang, on the day before leaving Beijing, was also anxious and restless, walking around the house for a long time.

How could such a woman he had never cared about, who couldn't even remember her face clearly, put her life in front of this deadly epidemic? Zong Zhenglin didn't believe that the Wan family cared more about him than the little girl.

After some probing, she found nothing else, only the shock and pain in her eyes could be clearly seen. The shock can also be explained, but the pain... When did he have feelings for her?

His Highness the Sixth Highness was suspicious, but Mu Xiyao's head was not idle.

More than lip balm. Don't think that she doesn't know what the boss is thinking when she doesn't move like a mountain before and let Wan Shi approach.

"Where is someone in front of his own woman, insisting on asking others to open his mouth to express intimacy." The five senses are as sensitive as him, can he not detect Wan Jingwen's actions? It's obviously loaded with garlic.

"Jiaojiao." The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she was thinking about the strangeness of Wan Jingwen's woman, but was suddenly interrupted by Mu Xiyao's unpleasant sentence. "This hall allows the women next to me to get close?" His eyes turned around her, and it was true that he was willing to wait to see Mu Xiyao's reaction, but he was very satisfied with the result, and the little heartless man finally grew up.

Hypocritical! He was very clear about the meaning of her words, and insisted on catching her loopholes. This man is just looking for an excuse to make more use of her when he does that bad thing.

When eating in the evening, Wan Shi and Zhang Shiben packed up early and waited in the camp. I just waited until the hourglass in the room was about to arrive, but no one came to call her two to take care of the tent, so I had to call the girl out to inquire.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jin went out with empty hands, and when he came back, he carried two food boxes, with a slightly strange expression on his face.

"Master, Mrs. Ye said that the lady has served His Highness with meals. The meals in this food box are specially ordered by the lady to cook separately for you two. The meals in the army are roughly reduced. If you are not satisfied, please return it. Please be considerate, both of you."

Not to mention what the two sitting masters thought, even Zhu Jin noticed that something was wrong. Concubine Shu took the order of Concubine Shu and came to serve His Highness in person. But that madam who followed His Highness without a name and title, actually stepped on the master's behalf, put on the airs of the master's house, and took care of the concubines of the two Sixth Highness's residence? No matter how you look at it, it should be what the mistress of the house should do.

"Sure enough, he grew up in a barbarian land. He has never seen the world, and he has no education." Although Mrs. Zhang was in shock, she never had the courage to yell openly. Wan Jingwen was aggrieved all afternoon, but in the end she couldn't bear it.

The atmosphere in the tent was a bit oppressive, and several people had eaten their meals hastily. Mrs. Zhang helped the maid to walk nearby to digest food, leaving Wan Jingwen alone to light the lamp, rubbing her forehead and concentrating on planning big things.

The wind is strong at night, and the humidity here in Moganling is heavy. If you take a deep breath, you can feel the coolness in your lungs. Zong Zhenglin was discussing matters with everyone in front, and Mu Xiyao was impatient with the group of people chattering and arguing endlessly in front of a sand table, so she informed him in advance to go outside for a walk. Followed by Ye Kai's guards, His Royal Highness reluctantly agreed.

"Master, the one in front is wearing a cloak, as if he has seen that lady during the day. Behind him is Mrs. Ye following." Zhang's servant girl has sharp eyes, and she can see the person standing on the small slope at a glance, looking into the distance.

"Ye Kai, is there not enough food and pay in the army?" Mu Xiyao glanced at the soldiers cleaning the stove in the distance, and Mu Xiyao's eyes flickered.

"Never. But the master is not satisfied with the cost?" Why did this aunt suddenly ask about the military salary. The box in her room was specially delivered from Xicheng, and there was no shortage of it. There are also incense accessories bought in the city, which ones are not ordered by His Highness to choose the best ones.

Tightening the cloak in front of her body, Mu Xiyao looked around, and it seemed that she was quieter than before. "Those soldiers suffering from the epidemic have already been sent away from here?"

One sentence made Ye Kai change his complexion. With a stiff expression, he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"Your Excellency, just take it as if you've heard my concubine talking to herself. Don't take it to heart." The action was really quick, and the man really didn't live his days as leisurely as he appeared on the surface. Where did Zong Zhenglin hide him?

Pay attention to the changes in the surroundings, but faint footsteps can be heard from behind, it is definitely not a sergeant, even a casual pair of light armor should have some scraping sound.

Looking back at Mu Ran, Mu Xiyao was quite surprised by the person who came. Originally thought that it was Wan Jingwen who came to the door first, but unexpectedly, it was the submissive Zhang who came to talk to her.

Retiring their attendants, Mu Xiyao waited until Mrs. Zhang stepped forward cautiously, and looked at her for a moment. This woman lacked momentum as usual, and she showed weakness in her bones. She still bears the name of the prince and concubine on her back, so she doesn't dare to point at the tip of her nose and speak arrogantly.

After looking at her with a smile for a long while, the person across from him held his handkerchief and raised his eyes with difficulty. "You, you must have heard of the fame of Concubine Mu in Shengjing, right?" The title was a bit inappropriate, but I couldn't find a suitable one.

Mention her? Mu Xiyao was stunned.

Before she could respond, Mrs. Zhang hurried on with nervousness. "The side concubine and His Royal Highness have extraordinary affection. After this battle, His Highness returned to Beijing. He should be more considerate of the side concubine who is a vegetarian in the temple and prays for blessings."

Then he was silent and mustered up his courage to look directly at her. Although she is not good, she knows the truth of repaying kindness. Although she was selfish, she was really speaking for Mu Xiyao.

Shock flashed across her eyes, and Mu Xiyao's gaze stayed on her for a while before leading Ye Kai away without saying a word.

Mrs Zhang, this woman is not smart, it is not easy to warn her with insinuations. No matter how ruthless she was, I'm afraid she wouldn't have the guts to say it.

This is not to say that Zhang's heart is kind, but that she is very aware of current affairs. If you have no future, at least you know how to hold on to a piece of driftwood.

Conforming to Mu Xiyao's conjecture, when the two of them left, the little maid nervously supported Zhang's arm with a worried face. "Master, are you not afraid that she will come to His Highness and sue you?"

"It's better for her to complain, at least let His Highness understand that my master and I are wholeheartedly devoted to my side concubine." Who said that she is stupid because she has no scheming?

In this matter, the last thing to look at is which woman is more important in His Highness's heart. And she, just like when she first entered the mansion, picked the candidate early on, and she was more optimistic about Concubine Mu.
