Chapter 185 Mu Xiuhan Regrets
Mu Xiuhan was deposed as the crown prince and was seriously injured. He could not get out of bed for the time being, and the news from the court could not reach the East Palace.
But he knew that Mu Cang and Yan Li's wedding was postponed to the eighth day of the first lunar month, and there were only two days left from today, so he was particularly anxious, but he could not tell Jiang Jingyue his thoughts truthfully.
After breakfast, he lay on the bed alone, thinking hard. After thinking about it, he felt that only his sister Mu Xue could help him.
So he called Jiang Jingyue over: "I haven't seen Xue'er for a long time. Send someone to find Xue'er. I have something to say to her."
Jiang Jingyue didn't know what he was thinking, and just thought that he wanted to get together with his brother and sister, so she nodded and said, "Yeah."
Last night, Jiang Jingyue looked bad after taking care of Mu Xiuhan until the second half of the night. She looked listless. Even if the maid put on an extra layer of rouge and powder, it couldn't hide the haggardness and dullness between her eyebrows.
So every time Mu Xiuhan looked at her, he would feel strong regret, hating himself for being blind and thinking that Jiang Jingyue was a well-educated lady.
But the fact proved that Yan Li was a pearl with hidden brilliance, and Jiang Jingyue was at best a fish eye, which was eclipsed by the pearl.
Now he regretted it, and he regretted it every day, not knowing if there was still a chance to make up.
After receiving the news, Mu Xue quickly arrived at the East Palace with the maid: "Brother, what do you want to see me for?"
As soon as he stepped into the palace door, a strong smell of medicine hit his nose, and Mu Xue couldn't help frowning: "Why is there such a strong smell of medicine here? How did the palace servants serve? Did they open the windows for ventilation on time?"
The maids were panicked and knelt down to apologize.
Jiang Jingyue smiled and said, "We open the windows for ventilation every day, but the princess doesn't come here often, so she may not be used to the smell of medicine."
"What does the emperor's sister-in-law mean?" Mu Xue raised her eyebrows, "Are you blaming me for not coming to visit my brother in time?"
Jiang Jingyue's smile froze, and she quickly said, "That's not what I meant..."
"You all leave." Mu Xiuhan dismissed the palace people, and added, "Everyone go out, I want to talk to Mu Xue alone."
Jiang Jingyue felt a strange uneasiness in her heart, but she said nothing, bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out with the palace people.
Mu Xue walked into the inner hall and sat down on a chair near the bed: "What does my brother want to tell me?"
Mu Xiu Han got up with difficulty, his face pale and weak: "Xue'er, we can't let Yan Li marry the Ninth Uncle."
Mu Xue frowned, and disgust suddenly appeared on her beautiful face: "Why did my brother mention her for no reason?"
Mu Xiu Han said indifferently: "You don't want Yan Li to marry the Ninth Uncle, right?"
Mu Xue didn't say anything, her expression was very ugly.
For more than a month, Yan Li's limelight has completely suppressed her, the legitimate princess. She would subconsciously feel disgusted when she heard Yan Li's name, and she wished she would disappear completely.
But Yan Li is just like a strange cat with nine lives. No matter how others deal with her, the one who suffers in the end is others.
Her good luck makes people jealous and resentful, but they can't do anything about it.
"Yan Li is going to marry the Ninth Prince, why are you mentioning her now, brother?" Mu Xue said coldly, "Do you suddenly think that jinx is better than Jiang Jingyue?"
Mu Xiuhan said calmly, "Yan Li is indeed better than Jiang Jingyue."
"Brother?" Mu Xue looked at him in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
