Reversing Life

Qiao Sheng said respectfully: "It's not that I'm on guard against you, but the little prince is sleepy. If a stranger approaches, he will make a fuss again. It's late today. If you like the little prince, why not come to see him another day."

Chu Qingqing smiled and said: "Then I'll come another day."

After that, she turned around and went back to her palace with a group of palace people.

That night, the little prince suddenly had a fever, and no one could comfort him. The imperial physician said that he was close to a patient and got sick, but the people around the little prince were carefully selected, so how could there be any patients. The queen, who was always gentle, was also angry. The people around the little prince interrogated him again and again, but no one could find out whether he was good or bad. The only one with a problem was Qiao Sheng.

But Qiao Sheng was someone around the emperor, and everyone knew how well the emperor treated him. He picked him up half a year ago and taught him martial arts and calligraphy. The emperor never treated anyone so well again. If he said that Qiao Sheng had a problem, it would be even more unbelievable.

Faced with this situation, Qiao Sheng took the initiative to plead guilty to Mu Yunxian, and wanted to live in the Ministry of Punishment for a period of time to prove his innocence.

"Don't you know that people's words are scary?" When he heard him say this, Mu Yunxian felt a little surprised. He sat there with a book, and said casually: "You just stay here obediently. If you enter the Ministry of Punishment, you will be guilty even if you are innocent. I spent so much effort to cultivate you, just to let you go in and suffer?"

"But, the emperor also said that people's words are scary. So many people in the palace have been tried, only the slaves..." Qiao Sheng couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that you are worried that I have raised a group of wastes? You don't know about such a big thing in the palace?" Mu Yunxian put down the book, walked closer and knocked him: "You don't know, are you the only fool in the palace, or are you the only smart person."

The emperor said it with certainty, Qiao Sheng was uneasy in his heart, but he stayed in the palace. Because he was suspected, it was not good to always ask what was going on over there, but he was always thinking about it. He only heard that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, and many people were involved. Seeing the way others looked at him, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Just at this time, another person found him, it was Chu Qingqing.

Chu Qingqing was also called in for questioning twice, but she was not suspected and was released. When Chu Qingqing found Qiao Sheng, Qiao Sheng was also surprised.

They met in the imperial garden, just like the previous times, the emperor's concubines and the emperor's favorites met by chance, and they greeted each other when they accidentally met.

Chu Qingqing seemed to be in a good mood recently, but because of the second prince's matter, people in the palace were panicking recently, and she couldn't show it, but when facing Qiao Sheng, she didn't suppress her emotions, and smiled at Qiao Sheng very gently.

"I remember when I first met you, you were still with Shen Guiren, an inconspicuous little eunuch, and anyone in her palace could order you around, but I didn't expect that the situation would change - now Shen Guiren wants to curry favor with you, I'm afraid she can't curry favor with you anymore?"

This is the truth. Chu Qingqing used to be the same. She could easily step on him. In the coldest days of winter, if he was asked to kneel on the ice, he would go, even if his legs were broken. Qiao Sheng didn't react much to the affirmation of the people who had bullied him before. He just said, "The slaves always serve the masters."

"You are different from them." Chu Qingqing smiled and said, "Otherwise, why? Those who approached the little prince that night were arrested and locked up for a few days. You coaxed and hugged him, but nothing happened?"

Qiao Sheng said respectfully, "I'm not on guard against you. It's just that the little prince is sleepy. If a stranger approaches, he will make a fuss again. It's late today. If you like the little prince, you might as well come to see him another day."

Chu Qingqing smiled and said, "Then I'll come another day."

After that, she turned around and went back to her palace with the palace people.

That night, the little prince suddenly had a fever, and no one could coax him. The imperial physician said that he got sick because he was close to a patient, but the people around the little prince were carefully selected, so how could there be any patients? The usually gentle queen was also angry. The people around the little prince were interrogated again and again, but no one was found to be good or bad. The only one with a problem was Qiao Sheng.

But Qiao Sheng was someone close to the emperor, and everyone knew how well the emperor treated him. He was picked up half a year ago, and he taught him martial arts and calligraphy. The emperor never treated anyone so well again. If he said that Qiao Sheng had a problem, it would be even more unbelievable.

Faced with this situation, Qiao Sheng took the initiative to plead guilty to Mu Yunxian and wanted to live in the Ministry of Punishment for a while to prove his innocence.

"Don't you know that people's words are scary?" When Mu Yunxian heard him say this, he felt a little surprised. He sat there with a book in his hand, and said casually: "Just stay here obediently. If you enter the Ministry of Punishment, you will be guilty even if you are innocent. Did I spend so much effort to cultivate you just to let you suffer in there?"

"But, the emperor also said that people's words are scary. So many people in the palace have been tried, only the slaves..." Qiao Sheng couldn't help but said.

"Could it be that you are worried that I have raised a group of useless people? You don't know what happened in the palace?" Mu Yunxian put the book down, walked closer and knocked him: "I don't know if you are the only fool in the palace, or the only smart person."

The emperor said it with certainty, Qiao Sheng was uneasy in his heart, but he stayed in the palace. Because he was suspected, he couldn't always ask what was going on there, but he was always thinking about it. He only heard that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, and many people were involved. Seeing the way others looked at him, he felt even more uncomfortable.

At this time, another person found him, it was Chu Qingqing.

Chu Qingqing was also called in for questioning twice, but she was released without any suspicion. When Chu Qingqing found Qiao Sheng, Qiao Sheng was also surprised.

They met in the imperial garden. Just like many times before, the emperor's concubine and the celebrity next to the emperor met by chance. They bumped into each other accidentally and said hello.

Chu Qingqing seemed to be in a good mood recently, but because of the incident involving the second prince, people in the palace were in panic recently, and she couldn't show it. However, when facing Qiao Sheng, she did not suppress her emotions and smiled very gently at Qiao Sheng.

"I remember the first time I met you, you were still with Shen Guiren. You were an inconspicuous little eunuch. Anyone in her palace could control you, but unexpectedly, the situation changed - now Shen The noble man wants to curry favor with you, but I’m afraid he can’t do it anymore, right?”

This is the truth. It was the same with Chu Qingqing in the past. She could step on him casually. Even if he was asked to kneel on the ice for several cold days, he would have to go. Even if his leg was broken, he couldn't get up. The person who had bullied him affirmed him like this, but Qiao Sheng didn't react at all. He only said: "A slave always serves his master."

"You are different from them." Chu Qingqing said with a smile: "Why else, everyone who had been close to the little prince that night was arrested and imprisoned for several days. You coaxed and hugged him, but you didn't show any concern at all. Nothing happened?"

"That's because the emperor trusts his servants." Qiao Sheng said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yes, he trusts you." Chu Qingqing smiled: "Tell me, does he trust you more or the evidence?"

Qiao Sheng suddenly raised his head.

"You haven't received the news. It seems that the emperor doesn't believe you as much as you said." Chu Qingqing said: "The evidence does point to you, and it is indeed not false. You should not know why, but you can't help it. blame……"

"You." Qiao Sheng said coldly, "You did it."

Chu Qingqing didn't say yes or no, she tilted her head and smiled: "I have a way to help you get rid of the crime. You think about it carefully. You also said it, and the emperor believes in you."

She finished speaking calmly and left, regardless of Qiao Sheng's reaction. It was just a few casual chats. If Qiao Sheng really couldn't bear to think about it and went to the emperor based on these few words, he would be the unlucky one, not himself.

Qiao Sheng tightened his face from behind and left directly.

After he left, he inquired about the news, and sure enough he heard something. He sat there all night, thinking about morning. The emperor's face always appeared suddenly in front of him, and the little prince's face, what happened in the past. Without thinking too much, everyone knows that he will lose it all soon.

The pie in the sky will soon crush him.

He still has a choice to make.

The next day, he cleaned up as usual and waited for the emperor to go to court. Then he went to see the emperor.

"Why are you here so early today? Didn't your master say you were lazy?" Mu Yunxian looked up at him and said.

Qiao Sheng, however, kept kneeling and never got up.

"What do you want to tell me?" Mu Yunxian stopped smiling and said to the people next to him: "Everyone, get out."

"This..." The palace people next to them looked at each other. The chief eunuch secretly glanced at the emperor's face, then drove them all out, and he went out too.

"Get up." Mu Yunxian's eyes were still fixed on the memorial, and he said directly: "Isn't it cold to kneel down?"

Qiao Sheng stayed with the emperor for half a year. Even though everyone said that this man treated him differently from others, he did not dare to say that he had glimpsed even half of the emperor's true face. But even so, he still wanted to...

He gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor once said that slaves must tell the truth no matter what. Does the emperor still mean what he said?"

"Are you asking me that? You are a little bolder than before." Mu Yunxian finally raised his head and said with a smile, "What truth do you want to tell me?"

"I heard that the second prince was murdered and was traced to me." He finally raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes: "Someone told me that the evidence was true. When I recalled what happened, I noticed Come on, the person behind it probably harmed the young prince through the servant. The reason why the servant confessed to the emperor today was to prevent the person behind it from escaping the law..."

Mu Yun said casually: "If you really think so, why don't you go to the Criminal Punishment Department yourself."

"I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to explain to the Emperor directly." Finally, he whispered: "It's just my selfishness. I don't want the Emperor to misunderstand my loyalty..."

"That's it, are you done?" A ray of sunlight penetrated, causing Mu Yunxian to close his eyes slightly. His expression made it even more difficult for Qiao Sheng to see clearly what he was thinking.

"Let's go out after that. If you want to rest, just tell me and your master directly. If you use such an excuse to be lazy again, you will be scolded." Mu Yunxian said lightly and kicked him out. . Qiao Sheng returned to his room and was stunned.

He originally thought that after he confessed to the emperor, the emperor might be furious and send him directly to the Criminal Punishment Department, or he might be dealt with on the spot and kill him directly. The emperor's reaction was really confusing to him.

On the other side of Mu Yunxian, seeing him leave, Mu Yunxian smiled softly.

Chongming was outside the window. He gently pushed open the half-closed window with his small wings and landed on Mu Yunxian's table. He looked at Qiao Sheng's leaving back with his small eyes and chirped twice.

Mu Yunxian said: "No wonder he wants to find someone who treats him sincerely. You see, this is not that easy. There is only one fool like him. In this deep palace, wherever there is someone, they are not all pretending. What kind of bastard does our employer hate that time-traveling woman? We hate that Chu Qingqing set him up, but there are many others who set him up."

Mu Yunxian touched his little head with his fingertips and said, "Why would he pick a stupid lunatic to hate?"

On this day, the situation suddenly changed. At first, there were rumors and evidence pointing to Qiao Sheng, but in a blink of an eye, the culprit turned out to be the concubine Jia who had been invisible in this incident. No one ever suspected her in the beginning. After all, Concubine Jia did nothing but glance at the little prince outside the door.

However, the cause and effect of the incident were laid out in detail, and the witnesses and physical evidence were all there, making people have no choice but to believe that she was the one who murdered the little prince.

Even the queen did not expect such a result. The queen had been taking care of the little prince in the palace during this period and did not go out. After the truth was revealed, she went to announce the result in person. After the coffin was sealed, no one dared to speak out no matter what they had to say. To say it again would be a slap in the emperor’s face.

The concubine's plot to murder the emperor's heir, and also the empress's eldest son, was a scandal. In the end, all this was suppressed, leaving only a few words passed down by others, and then no traces were left. A secret history is created for future generations to speculate.

As for the concubine Jia, who was the source of everything, she was completely finished. She was thrown into the cold palace and had no chance to stand up again.

.

The one who has been hit hardest by everything that has happened recently, apart from Jia Concubine, who is identified as the instigator, there is another person that most people would never think of, and that is Qiao Sheng.

He had taken leave for several days and had not gone to the emperor to serve him. The eunuch beside the emperor privately advised him: "What's wrong with you and the emperor? He is the monarch, who are you? You are a slave. Everything you have is given by him." , what qualifications do you have to make trouble."

Of course Qiao Sheng also knew. What right does he have to make trouble? His status was given by the emperor, and so was his personality. Why could the emperor tease him like this just to test him?

He didn't even dare to think about where the emperor's plan started. From the day he came to the emperor's side, he knew clearly that the emperor did not like the concubine Jia. He had never liked her. He didn't even like the emperor's heir in her belly, so how could he regain his favor because of the loss of the emperor's heir.

If the return of favor from the beginning was fake, why did the emperor do this? Was he just looking at the concubines in such a miserable state for fun? He was not shameless enough to think that the emperor had set up all this just to test whether he was loyal enough. The more he thought about it, the more it made him shudder.

He knew that the more scared he was, the more he should take advantage of the opportunity to pass the test and continue to show his loyalty like the emperor instead of acting awkward like a child. Who is the emperor? He actually dares to think about it. Is the emperor here to coax him?

Qiao Sheng didn't expect that the emperor would actually come to coax him.

When the eunuch beside the emperor came to call him in person, he couldn't believe it. The eunuch who was twice as old as him called over immediately: "Are you done with your temper? The little prince is here, why don't you go and wait on him."

He had no choice but to cheer up and change his clothes. As soon as he arrived, he saw the emperor playing with the little prince and Chongming. Chongming was obviously very impatient, and he couldn't do anything to the little prince, so he had to look like he was hopeless and let Chongming play with him.

When Chongming saw Qiao Sheng coming, he quickly flew to his head and glared at the father and son below him with a furious look.

Mu Yun said casually: "You're still angry. You're really difficult to serve."

Qiao Sheng couldn't tell for a moment whether the emperor was talking about Chongming or him. Later, he thought about whether he was qualified to be served by the emperor, so he stood aside respectfully, no longer as close as before. Mu Yunxian couldn't help laughing.

Seeing how awkward he was, I didn't bother to embarrass him. He was willing to serve him as a slave and let him go. After he left, Mu Yunxian whispered to the eunuch: "It's really..."

"The emperor is not used to him." The eunuch said with a smile.

"That's right." Mu Yun thought for a while, a child would only dare to lose his temper with someone who dotes on him and spoils him. It would be even harder for a child like Qiao Sheng to lose his temper. Mu Yunxian had raised many children, so he wasn't too angry. Seeing the progress of the task increasing, the employer doesn't seem to be very angry, so let him be angry for a while and leave it to him.

When Qiao Sheng was angry, Mu Yunxian went to deal with another matter. He went to meet Chu Qingqing in the cold palace.

When Chu Qingqing entered the cold palace, she looked much more awake than when she was outside. When she saw Mu Yunxian coming, she obediently came over and bowed, and said with a smile: "The emperor is here."

It still looks like when she was a concubine.

"Don't you want to see me? I'm here." Mu Yunxian smiled at her.

"I just want to know why and what the emperor said to me last time, let me think clearly." Chu Qingqing said to him: "At first, I thought you were telling me to let me see my identity clearly. Don’t do unnecessary things and then not feel the same way later.”

"What you did shows that you have thought it through clearly." Mu Yun said leisurely: "Why did you want to harm the second prince? Why did you go to alienate Qiao Sheng?"

"Because I am unwilling." Chu Qingqing said, "I want to climb up, but these people are blocking my way..."

"It's fake." Mu Yun sat across from her and explained to her, "Because you hate it."

"What do I hate?" Chu Qingqing was stunned.

"You hate this world that eats you." Mu Yunxian had a smile on his lips and said to her: "You are not from this world. In your world, you live much better than now, right?"

"How do you know?"

"What don't I know?" Mu Yunxian said: "I used to think that you hated the cannibalistic system at first, but later accepted it very smoothly. It was your nature. Later, you figured out that you wanted to find the dignity you lost - naturally, part of your nature was also due to it, so you started with the weak..."

Chu Qingqing couldn't help but say: "Tell me, why did I harm the second prince?"

"Because everything is hopeless." Mu Yunxian said: "You once eagerly wanted to regain your dignity by improving your status. You want to regain the feeling of being respected in this cannibalistic place, but your only hope, the emperor, has completely abandoned you. Everything you have gained is in jeopardy, but you figured it out and you still want to regain your dignity, so you attacked the biggest beneficiary of the cannibalistic system, even if one of them is a child. "

"He is also your child!" Chu Qingqing said: "Then you still want me to figure it out?"

"If you don't want to figure it out, how can you take revenge?" Mu Yunxian said: "You don't have a definite goal, you don't know what you want to do, and you hit here and there, isn't it a waste of time?"

Chu Qingqing suddenly understood and sneered: "So you gave me a dream, which made me feel that I had a chance for revenge... I'm afraid even the capital for my revenge was given by you Well - then I'm afraid the little prince's illness is also fake - you are outside, watching my performance as if joking - is the performance funny, is it good to watch? "

Mu Yunxian explained: "It's not that I want to watch it, I have no grudge against you, all this is for others to see. You succeeded in revenge, but he has an outsider, so he has all this. In my opinion, he is an emperor, and he can't even beat you, a palace maid, he is really a waste, he wants revenge... Last time when he was about to die, you told him that everything he had was fake, so that he couldn't rest in peace. I will return you with interest, so that you will not get anything, and you know that everything is fake, is it fair? "

Chu Qingqing couldn't help but shouted: "You are sick!"

Mu Yunxian laughed and said: "Each industry has its own way of doing things You don't understand the law. "

Chu Qingqing sorted out his logic: "According to what you said, the unlucky guy who was successfully avenged by me last time was the emperor himself. Based on my understanding of him, with his stubborn mind, he is unlikely to understand your theory. "

Mu Yunxian said, "Oh, I coaxed him at the beginning. The task is basically completed, the score has been determined, and I can appeal if there are any major changes. What he is thinking now is probably not important. And... he wants to take revenge on you, and you are already in the cold palace. What else can he say. "

Chu Qingqing: "..."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Mu Yunxian stood up and smiled, "Everything ends and begins. When you wake up, you will find that it was all a dream."

He no longer lingered and walked out of the cold palace.

Everything was a dream.

Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Mu Yunxian smiled at the moon. What he thought was right. After he told everything, his employer should feel that he was fooled, but the progress of the task did not change much, and it always stayed in the early sixties.

A large part of it came from Qiao Sheng. When the child learned to act like a spoiled child, the progress of the task began to soar.

Mu Yunxian replaced him to start his life again. For the employer, it didn't make much difference. It was just a long and boring story that he read again. It was very boring. The people in the palace seemed to be shrewd, powerful or smart on the surface, but to the employer, they were just a group of flies flying towards rotten meat. There was no point in commanding a group of flies to play with one of them to death.

Revenge was just a part of boring life.
