Chapter 641 The scapegoat
Lin Huiru's heart immediately became aroused, so there is no news from the palace, could it be that this method has been exposed? "When did it happen?"
"It was today. When I came to see it yesterday, there was nothing wrong with it. Today, the color of the petals is obviously darker. In order to prevent my eyes from getting dizzy, I even looked at it once with a face mask on. It is true that the flowers are about to bloom. Signs." Bai Qianyi's tone also became serious,
"Then you don't go in, if these words are really poisonous, don't let people come in this yard, be careful, Xu Ziqiao should be back too, Let's go to the front yard and wait for him." Lin Huiru's mood also became serious, although Seran kept saying that the medicine was used to detoxify her, but it is still unknown whether it really has that effect.
Moreover, how could it be such a coincidence that the flowering period happened to be here, and Seran also made this move just in time. Because of this coincidence, Lin Huiru had to raise his guard again.
When Xu Ziqiao came back, the night was already dark, and his face was a little tired. It must be a very complicated business today, but even though Lin Huiru was distressed, he could only tell Xu Ziqiao the news first.
"The flower is about to fail. Is there any movement in the palace?"
Xu Ziqiao still hadn't recovered, frowning in confusion, "What?" "
When I went to see the flower this morning, the petals had already changed color and were about to wither." It's a sign, I guess it's about time for the flowers to fall." Bai Qianyi took over the conversation and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao frowned suddenly, "But there has been no news from the palace for a long time. Could it be that I have to go to the palace again to inform His Majesty about this?" "No, the timing is
too coincidental, people will suspect , and since the other side is so calm, let's wait another night and try. If there is no trouble in the palace tomorrow, we can pretend to send it back to the palace with the reason that the flowers are about to fall, and do it in the palace. Good defense." Lin Huiru sighed, and originally wanted to take advantage of Seran's subtle work, but she didn't expect things to develop so fast, but it was only a few days, and this flower was suddenly going to die. Falling, it's really unpredictable
After returning to the room, Lin Huiru thought over and over again and still didn't tell Xu Ziqiao that Seran gave her medicine today. If there was more chaos at this time, Xu Ziqiao would be overwhelmed.
...
Jinwang Mansion.
"Miss, it was just tonight. The maidservant had been observing for a long time before, and that nun was always in charge of collecting flowers at night, but today that nun was feeling unwell, so she found someone else. I have already given her medicine. , I won't be able to wake up for a while." Ruan Er and Mu Chenyu sneaked behind the door, discussing in low voices.
It's just a potted flower, but they spent more than half a month trying to find the right time. Now, if the flower can be returned to the Queen's hand in its entirety, Mu Chenyu won't be named Mu at all.
"I'm here to help you out, move swiftly, don't leave anything behind, move quickly, if someone catches you, see if I won't kill you." Mu Chenyu shivered after pouring it in, and her mood became worse. The cold wind suddenly made her feel like a fool, to do so many things for a pot of flowers.
But immediately she comforted herself in her heart, although it was only a trivial matter, if Tian Sisi could lose the Queen's trust, then it would be a smart move for her to do so.
Although Ruan Er knew that Mu Chenyu had such a plan for a long time, she was still a little scared at this time. In addition, this was a guilty conscience. Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the dark clouds in the sky are also low As if about to press down, "Miss... if you really knock over that pot of flowers, the sound of landing will definitely attract people." "
Hmph, what are you afraid of? The wind is so strong tonight, as long as you run Hurry up, everyone will think it's just the wind blowing, I really don't know why you are such a timid person. Hurry up!" Mu Chenyu threw a cold look at him, Ruan'er could only run away reluctantly past.
After looking left and right, Ruan Er gritted her teeth and became ruthless, and a gust of wind happened to blow, she pushed the flowerpot and ran away, and returned to the yard with Mu Chenyu as if fleeing for her life.
"Hmph, it's such a simple little thing, it's really shameful that you can be scared like this." Mu Chenyu returned to the room and did not forget to sneer coldly.
The next moment, the strong wind outside the house was mixed with thunder and lightning, indicating that there must be a storm coming tonight.
When Tian Sisi saw the flower fell to pieces on the ground the next day, and the mud in the basin turned into muddy water under the rain, Tian Sisi almost fainted out of breath.
The maid who was in charge of collecting flowers was about to have her head smashed, but she couldn't escape the fate of being locked up in the woodshed to wait for her punishment.
But this news made Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru's eyes brighten, and they were also puzzled.
"It's time for the flowers to fall, why don't you just find a way to take the flowers back to the palace, and choose to destroy the flowers at this time?" Lin Huiru put a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, frowning a little puzzled.
What Mu Chenyu didn't know was that just in case, the bottom of the flowerpot was made extra thick and filled with a layer of sand, just to prevent the flowerpot from being blown down by the windy weather, or wild cats and the like The little guy caused trouble, so the flower broke, it can only be artificial.
"Maybe it's because I'm worried that the matter will be exposed, or something else, but the most important thing right now is to find out who did it, and what they think, and only those involved know." After Xu Ziqiao finished speaking, with this At the same time, the imperial edict to strictly investigate the matter in the palace came to the palace.
Mu Chenyu never expected that this matter did not make the queen lose her trust in Tian Sisi, but instead caused such a strict investigation.
However, the weather was bad last night, and they were careful when they did such nasty things, and it was impossible to leave a clue. Although it would not be a serious crime if they didn't take good care of them, it would make Tian Sisi a little bit uncomfortable, and she would It is a lot of comfort in my heart.
"Miss, miss, it's not good!" While Mu Chenyu was dressing in the mirror, Ruan'er ran over in a panic, and accidentally tripped over the threshold under her feet and brushed the shit out of her.
"Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that you won't succeed if you do something wrong?" Mu Chenyu sneered coldly, glanced at Ruan'er and couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.
Tian Sisi was surrounded by a nanny in the palace, and Lin Huiru was also surrounded by a bodyguard with excellent martial arts. How could the maid beside her be not only timid, but also so stupid that she could be thrown like this by the threshold.
Chapter 642
"No, miss, I..." Ruan'er got up, endured the pain in her body and patted the dust. Just when she was about to explain, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Take it down for me!" The nanny who was sick and lying on the bed had already recovered most of the time, and now she brought a group of people, and without any explanation, she pushed Ruan'er to the ground, and then gave Mu Chenyu a contemptuous glance, " The concubine has an order to arrest the person who committed crimes last night, and I hope that the side concubine will cooperate and take them away." "
Wait! It's her fault that her flowers are not taken care of properly. What are the people who came to arrest me?" Mu Chenyu was worried. Yue, even if she doesn't like Ruan'er, Ruan'er is still from her place, and Tian Sisi's actions are obviously slapping her in the face.
The nanny sneered, "Wangfei naturally has the evidence of the princess in doing things. It's just a coincidence that the bottom of the pot of this potted flower has been specially treated. The wind can't blow it down at all. It can only be caused by people deliberately. Coincidentally, not far from the flower pot is your girl's handkerchief, the princess's yard, when did you pass on this lowly servant girl?" "
You!" Mu Chenyu glared at Nanny and Ruan'er, feeling blood in his heart. Tumbling, this girl left a handle on what was supposed to be a good thing, so she doesn't want to worry about it.
Throwing a look at Ruan Er, Ruan Er suddenly fell into the cold pool. How could someone like Mu Chenyu save her? Someone like Mu Chenyu was just selfish. If it wasn't for her order, she wouldn't even want to take a step closer to that flower. All slaves know that it is best to take a detour for things that they can't touch.
After some eye contact, Mammy took Ruan'er away.
...
"You said, you help her in this way, but she doesn't care about you at all. What's the point of you carrying it so hard?" Tian Sisi had already had a guess about this matter in her heart. The wind can blow things down, whoever wants to target her except Mu Chenyu.
Ruan'er was just slapped a few times now, her cheeks were red, swollen and blue, and she was extremely embarrassed. Hearing Tian Sisi's words, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
"To be a slave, you still have to follow the right master. If you follow the wrong master, this person will be doomed for the rest of his life." Mammy spoke gloomily from the side, and then pointed to several maids beside her and introduced them one by one.
"The concubine is a kind master, and the maids around her gave these jewelry one by one out of compassion. But you, after doing so many things for that bitch, in the end you didn't even lose any decent jewelry. Now Ah, I still have to suffer from this prison." Mammy smacked the bar for a while, and her words conveyed a sense of benevolence inside and out.
Tian Sisi sat there sipping tea, "You don't know how valuable that potted flower is, do you?"
"Those flowers were brought as a tribute from Loulan. Because they are extremely rare, they were carefully cultivated by the empress before they were handed over to the princess. It was supposed to be time for planting, but now it has disappeared, and it is extremely difficult to find a second flower in the world, do you think this little life of yours is enough to compensate, or is the life of your whole family worthy of this?" Mammy said later Ruan'er couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart.
After all, everyone in the world has weaknesses, and most of them are family members.
"I..." Ruan'er opened her mouth, still very hesitant in her heart, if she said it was death, she would be dead if she didn't, even if she said it, Mu Chenyu would definitely use more vicious means to deal with her family.
Tian Sisi seemed to see through her worries, and gave Mammy a look.
The nanny immediately understood, "You can speak up if you have any concerns. After all, this matter is of great importance. If you can say that your merits are worth it, maybe you won't implicate your family. If Mu Chenyu uses your family to threaten you , do you think the princess has more power, or her little side concubine has more power?"
Let alone Mu Chenyu, Mu Feng has already become a third-rank minister.
Ruan'er thought about it carefully, seeing Tian Sisi's slight impatience, Mammy beckoned to let people continue the execution. But as soon as the splint was in Ruan'er's hand, Ruan'er struggled violently, "I'll say it! I'll say anything!"
Now that the goal has been achieved, Tian Sisi's patience has increased a lot, "Then you will do it one by one. Say, don't leave anything behind, the more you say, the more good it will be for you."
"Okay..." Ruan Er panted heavily, and then dictated everything Mu Chenyu had done in the palace.
...
Originally, Mu Chenyu was still beating her chest and stamping her feet in the room and lost a chess piece, but the next moment she was directly captured by the royal soldiers and taken into the palace.
Since this matter is of great importance, only Xu Ziqiao, Lin Huiru, and Qian Yuan participated in the interrogation, and there was Ruan Er who was trembling waiting for the confrontation.
"Mu Chenyu, what do you want to explain?" Qian Yuan propped his chin, he never expected to capture Mu Chenyu now.
Mu Chenyu thought for a moment. In fact, she already knew about what happened on the way when she was arrested, but what he didn't expect was that Qianyuan came to interrogate this matter in person, and Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru were also there. beside.
At this time, even piercing Ruan'er with his eyes was useless, Mu Chenyu could only sniff his nose, and squeezed out two tears, "Ruan'er, is there anything we can do to you in the Mu family? Is there anything I'm sorry for you? We have helped you settle down your family, but why did you bite me back, who instigated you?" "Okay, stop acting, if you don't have a guilty conscience
, how do you know us Why did you come here?" Lin Huiru said lightly from the side.
Mu Chenyu was shocked. After all, she was still careless. She stammered and tried to defend herself again, "Ruan'er was arrested because she broke the pot of flowers. Now His Majesty summoned her because of this incident. As a Ruan'er's master, I am indeed responsible for my lack of teaching, I hope your majesty will come down with the crime." "It's
the next thing to be punished or not. Now that there are witnesses and evidences, we are just curious, why did you take action on this potted flower?" ?" Lin Huiru gave Xu Ziqiao a look, and now he has to wait for Mu Chenyu to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on. I don't know anything about this matter. Ruan'er, who ordered you to do this? Is it good for you?" Mu Chenyu burst into tears now , and almost grabbed Ruan'er's clothes and cried.
Ruan Er was also fooled by the beating, and the hatred in her heart suddenly rose, "Your Majesty, this matter was ordered by the young lady, and no one bribed the servant. At first, it was the young lady who threatened the servant. If you don't help the young lady to destroy that As for the potted flowers, the servant's family may be in danger at any time, it is the young lady who is the villain to sue first, and now it is the young lady who controls the servant's family, I hope Your Majesty will make the decision for the servant!"
Chapter 643
Hearing the words of that cowardly and cowardly girl in the past, Mu Chenyu's face darkened for the most part. This can be regarded as letting her own dog bite back. The difference is that she usually punches and kicks this dog. Yes, the current situation is just her own doing.
When his life was hanging by a thread, Mu Chenyu didn't bother to take care of this lowly servant girl anymore, so he was busy at the first moment ruthlessly befriending him a few times, and when he lifted it up a few times, his forehead was already red and swollen, "Your Majesty, my lord... How dare a woman do such an outrageous thing, it must be that this girl's family has been controlled by others to slander my courtiers, I hope Your Majesty will learn from you!" "Oh, then tell me, why do you want to slander you?" Qian Yuan didn't
bother Speaking, Xu Ziqiao opened his mouth for him.
This time Mu Chenyu suddenly became a little dumb, but after thinking about what happened to the Mu family before, he suddenly found a way to say, "Your Majesty, there have been people targeting our Mu family when we came in. The father of the court daughter has devoted himself to the court, and he was also taken by someone with a heart." Framed, it can be seen that this person has a vicious heart."
"Mu Feng is his own fault, a son like Mu Tiancheng has no way to teach his son, in my opinion, at most, he can't escape a person who is close to Zhu Chi and close to ink and black. What did I ask, What are you answering, you are messing around here, what place are you in the palace?" Qian Yuan rubbed his forehead with a headache, what annoyed him the most when dealing with former court officials was answering irrelevant questions like this, which would only increase his annoyance.
Mu Chenyu swallowed her saliva, and simply made up her mind to kill her without saying anything. Looking at Ruan Er, who was glaring at her, it was another difficult problem, "Your Majesty, my daughter really didn't do such a rebellious thing. The thing is, it is the queen's beloved flower, and the servants dare not even touch a single petal, the people behind the scenes have already set up a trick for the servants to dance, Your Majesty must not be fooled by the villains." After hearing her
words , Lin Huiru couldn't help sneering, and she was even more sure that Mu Chenyu was not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid that even the original Mu Yirou was designed by this woman. Others deliberately framed.
Seeing that Qian Yuan's face was not looking good, Xu Ziqiao spoke again, "Grandpa Zhou, please prepare the maid at the Punishment Division. This matter is very important, and I hope that no one will let it out."
Hearing the word Punishment Division, Mu Chenyu's heart was so cold that he quickly kowtowed on the ground again, "Your Majesty, my daughter really doesn't know, Your Majesty, my daughter is weak, if she is tortured, she will definitely die." Die by accident!"
"Okay, let them distinguish between the serious and the serious, at least you have to keep your breath, and that maid is also with you." Qian Yuan rubbed the center of his brows and waved his hand.
After waiting for the hall to be clean, Qian Yuan turned his gaze away, "I don't think she looks like her.
" Blending in, this move is somewhat rare.
"If it is said that the period when the flowers fall is not in the palace, what happened will definitely make people suspicious. Compared with destroying the flowers, it is indeed more convenient." Xu Ziqiao looked over with a frown, and echoed in a deep voice.
Qian Yuan was not talking, and the Punishment Division was worthy of the Punishment Division's method, although it was not a torture, but it quickly opened two mouths.
"So, she did this kind of thing only out of jealousy and wanting to frame the princess. It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Loulan?" Lin Huiru rubbed her chin. If they said that, their clues would be broken again. up.
"Since that's the case, you might as well let it go. People in Loulan might not let her go if she did such a thing." Xu Ziqiao then made another plan in his mind.
Just as Qian Yuan was about to reply, Zhou Youde hurried over and interjected, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. This old slave thinks that you should listen first before deciding whether this side concubine will stay or not." Seeing that Zhou Youde was a little
embarrassed Qian Yuan waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't play around with me here." "
Yes." Zhou Youde looked at Xu Ziqiao cautiously, and couldn't help but add another mouth, "Your Majesty, This matter concerns the face of the royal family."
"But it's okay to say." Qian Yuan didn't take it seriously, after all many shameful things were assisted by Xu Ziqiao, it didn't matter whether he knew it or not, at most it was a matter of time.
"It's like this... Regarding the matter of King Jin's flower viewing party before, it was actually the Mu family... who did it on purpose." Zhou Youde has been carefully paying attention to Qian Yuan's face, seeing the slightest change, he hastily Shut up.
Xu Ziqiao and Lin Hui glanced at each other subconsciously. Although they had deliberated about this matter, they didn't expect to be able to force this matter out.
Qian Yuan's face became darker and darker, gloomy and ugly, "Continue to talk." "
The thing is, that servant girl couldn't stand the torture and recruited many people, and the old slave felt that this matter was very important. So I thought Let's talk to Your Majesty first before dealing with it. According to the maid's confession, even Mu Shangshu was involved." Not to mention Qian Yuan, Zhou Youde also felt his heart tremble after hearing this.
Xu Ziqiao got up and was about to find a reason to resign when Qian Yuan stopped him.
"Loulan's careful work, I leave it to you to handle it. Don't disappoint my expectations. Go down." Qian Yuan waved his hand, then stood up and strode out of the hall. It was already very obvious what he was going to do.
On the way back home, Lin Huiru still felt that this incident was a bit fantastic. Although more importantly, he didn't have the slightest clue, but being able to find out this by accident was considered a windfall.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Huiru asked.
"This matter hasn't come out from the palace yet, we can still use this opportunity to catch a turtle in the urn." Xu Ziqiao raised his eyebrows, the original plan had already taken shape in his mind.
"You don't want to use Mu Chenyu to lure Loulan to act. In this case, you have to give Loulan a hint. Otherwise, now that the flowers are gone, there is no need for them to take that risk." Lin Huiru Playing with his fingers, he frowned.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, "That's right, I will ask His Majesty to send a letter to Lou Lan, and give them a chance to send another pot of flowers in a proper way. The matter about Mu Chenyu will also be postponed. If they want to send the flowers to the palace successfully Here, we will definitely take action against Mu Chenyu in order to prevent future troubles."
"But the Mu family designed King Jin, will His Majesty agree to postpone this matter? Now, in my opinion, His Majesty should be happy to copy the Mu family together." Lin Huiru shook her head regretfully, if it wasn't for certain I'm not happy for myself, the life of the Mu family should be happy now, why is it so miserable now.
In the final analysis, after all, it is still self-inflicted.
Chapter 644
Qingwu's trip to Anguo can be regarded as a race against time. Things were carried out in an orderly manner according to Xu Ziqiao's plan, and his back and forth was also very smooth. After rushing all the way, he finally slowed down when he arrived near the capital.
There is a large area of ââmaple forest in the suburbs of Beijing. It is autumn and the air is crisp, and the red leaves all over the ground make people feel refreshed and happy. It's a pity that there are not many people who come here to visit because of the bandit's rebellion recently, and Qingwu can be considered to have monopolized this beautiful scenery.
However, near evening, a horse team blocked his way.
But the clothes of this cavalry team are also uniform, and the murderous look around them doesn't look like a group of bandits and hooligans, but they have a well-trained posture.
Qingwu pulled the reins, looked at the dozens of people with raised eyebrows, coughed lightly and opened his mouth, "Why? So elite, they are reduced to the point where they have to collect tolls for a living?" The only answer to him was the wind
blowing There was the rustling sound of fallen leaves, and then the sound of the carriage from far to near, looking at the carriage, Qingwu suddenly understood something, maybe someone was standing here waiting for him on purpose.
"It's been so long, and you're finally willing to show your face. Why, don't you feel satisfied with your current life?" Qingwu asked jokingly as he looked at the curtain that was drawn down to cover the carriage.
This tone let Tang Junyi know that he had already guessed his existence, "If I hadn't experienced this incident, I wouldn't have known, but I was entrapped by you and Xu Ziqiao jointly." "Hey, Your
Highness But don't say that, although I am more optimistic about Xu Xiang, but I have never dealt with you harshly, we are not the ones who want to put you to death, there is an injustice and a debtor, don't find the wrong person." Qing Although Wu's mouth was still talking about the matter calmly, his hand had already quietly touched the signal flare on his waist.
"Really, you didn't set the palace on fire?" Tang Junyi said again.
these He already knew the matter, and it seems that a tough battle is inevitable today, "His Royal Highness, don't involve others in our personal grievances. My adoptive mother is too old to withstand irritation, and I can't do without the Proton House. Does Your Highness have any grudges?" , what shall we do in another day?"
"I can't see that you are still a filial person. I don't know if your adoptive mother knows that you have done so many things, will she just drive west in anger?" Tang Junyi said There seemed to be a hint of a smile in the middle, "I know you still have plans, even if we start a war here today, I may not be able to touch you at all. It should be that no one knows that I am still alive, but now that I have taken the initiative to show up How about a deal?"
"A deal?" Qingwu let go of the flare, raised his eyebrows, and didn't understand what Tang Junyi was playing.
"Well, this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for you, and it does not conflict with what you want to do. It is good for everyone. We can also write off the past, and don't look into the past." Tang Junyi said leisurely.
But Qingwu couldn't help laughing in his heart, when could Tang Junyi be so considerate? "Your Highness, you may wish to say something first. Although this posture will not really kill me, but since I know a lot, I'm afraid I can't leave safely." Tang Junyi didn't say anything after that,
just The messenger handed over a letter to Qingwu, and the content of the letter was as a condition of exchange, which made Qingwu's heart tremble.
"I'm still wondering why a woman who can only imitate things suddenly popped up. I didn't expect that woman to be your opponent. Although you have good abilities, I still have no interest in this matter." After finishing speaking, Qingwu He tore the letter paper into pieces and threw it away.
Although Tang Junyi was in the carriage, he could see his actions clearly, "Why? This matter is not harmful to you at all, and if you want it, if it is not enough, I can add more chips."
" No need, it's not a matter of profit, it's just that this matter doesn't come into my eyes, but you only make me feel contemptible by doing this. Alright, let me go straight, let me go or fight?" Qingwu mentioned fighting As for the matter of killing and killing, a trace of killing intent spread in his eyes.
Now Tang Junyi doesn't want to have any conflicts with him. After all, Qingwu's martial arts, he is not sure that he can take him down, "Don't worry, can I know the reason why you don't want to do this?" "The reason is Grandpa and
I No, if you want, you can just do it yourself?" Qingwu snorted coldly, and glanced at the sky, "It will be dark soon, I can pretend that I didn't see you today and I don't know that you are still alive, but If you don't let me go, and my adoptive mother gets sick from the cold wind, I will definitely make you regret your actions today."
Tang Junyi didn't speak again, and after a moment of stalemate, he could only make way for him.
...
Shangshufu.
"What did you say?!" When Mu Feng heard the news from the eyeliner in the palace, his whole body went cold from head to toe. Mu Chenyu had already exposed their design of Tang Jingyuan, so their Mu family's vitality would be exhausted. up.
"My lord, don't be angry. You have to think about countermeasures now. I don't know why, and there is no news from the second lady. I don't know if His Majesty has any concerns." The housekeeper sighed, don't say anything now. It is for worrying about the future, whether there will be a future is still unknown.
After such a big turning point, Mufeng's hair has already turned half gray, and now that this kind of thing happens again, it's good if he doesn't lose his breath and die of anger, "What evil did I do in my life to raise these two Something!"
Seeing that Mu Feng was ill, Mrs. Zhao quickly helped him to sit down. Now that the Mu family has become like this, everyone feels a little uncomfortable. His Majesty's conscience found out that there is no chance, but now that Ruan'er has revealed this matter, if Qian Yuan hadn't been scrupled, the Mu family would have been executed for designing the royal family.
Mu Feng's heart was already gloomy, his only son was imprisoned without any future, one of his two daughters died, and the other actually brought out the blame for this matter. He originally thought that Mu Chenyu was a girl who could hold her breath, but he didn't expect that such an incident would happen at this time, it simply dug the hole under the Mu family's feet even deeper.
"Master, His Majesty may have some scruples to deal with this matter now. If His Majesty speaks, we will really run out of time." Zhao Shi was also very anxious. She thought that she could fly on a branch and become a phoenix. , I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me at this age when I should take care of myself.
Chapter 645
Mu Tiancheng is Zhao's son, and now Mu Feng is a little annoyed when he sees Zhao, and this urging sentence makes Mu Feng even more irritated, "What does a woman know! If I know what to do How can you, a debt collector, be here to urge you?! Get out and don't bother me here!"
Mrs. Zhao was startled, but she could only grit her teeth and walk away with her fat body full of resentment.
Mu Feng was the only one left in the room, and he even thought about drinking alone, but was stopped by the housekeeper, "Master, I have another idea, I just don't know if you think it's feasible." "
Whatever It's time, speak up if you have something to say, don't hide it here." Under the irritability, Mu Feng's hair was scratched a lot by himself, and he looked even more down-and-out.
The housekeeper nodded, "Master, do you still remember the eldest son who was born prematurely back then? Yes, the one born by the original wife."
Mu Feng didn't quite understand why the housekeeper suddenly mentioned this, and frowned. Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed such a thing. His first wife who was well-matched died of dystocia, and so did his son, "Aren't both of them dead? What are you talking about now, her mother's family should have collapsed."
"Actually, it's like this. That young master didn't die, but he was bribed and sent to the countryside. Now that young master...is Mr. Xu!" The steward's words shocked Mu Feng greatly.
"Who told you, how could such a thing happen? Didn't that child die back then?!" In the end, Mu Feng was still a little happy in his heart. For the rest of his life, he wouldn't have to worry about it. With Xu Ziqiao's current ability to rise, why should he worry about not being able to reach the top?
There was a smile on the butler's face, "It was only recently that I found out that someone sent a letter silently. The old slave felt that this matter should not be underestimated, so I deliberately found the old man according to the address on the letter. It's true! Master, our Mu family is saved!"
...
"Mu Feng?" Xu Ziqiao was still a little dazed when he received the invitation from the Mu family.
In the past, he was a little eager to know how his biological parents were doing, but after knowing it, he was already disappointed, so he simply put this matter behind him. With his face, he was a little thankful that he didn't grow up in the Prime Minister's house, even if he was in a poor country, it was better than that kind of place.
"Yes, for some reason, I sent a letter this morning, wanting to invite you to the Shangshu Mansion." Bai Qianyi nodded. In fact, he wanted to throw the letter away, but after careful consideration , or stay and give Xu Ziqiao a look first.
Lin Huiru winked at Bai Qianyi from the side, and she could already guess why the Mu family wanted to invite Xu Ziqiao, "I see, they probably want to ask you to intercede, at Mu Chenyu's critical moment How could I have other things to look for you."
"Then I won't go, in fact, I didn't plan to go, it's not good to go to a place full of smog." Xu Ziqiao casually threw the invitation into the trash can and turned her head. Sit down and have breakfast with Lin Huiru.
"Maybe they are also sitting on pins and needles now. After all, His Majesty knew it but didn't deal with it. This feeling of knowing that you are going to die but not knowing when you will die should be very exhausting." Lin Huiru finished the last mouthful of porridge with side dishes, satisfied He let out a sigh of relief.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, "If it wasn't for Loulan's matter, the Mu family should have been taken away by His Majesty's people last night, how could it be possible to give them a chance to worry? From today onwards, you don't want to go to that yard. Since you are in Luohua When it is clean, send someone to clean it. Loulan's messenger is already on the way. Although Mu Chenyu is locked in the palace now, if we count according to our speculation, it is most likely that Xizuo is hiding in the palace. Putting it in the palace is a good opportunity to lure snakes out of the hole, and we have already prepared our defenses and wait for them to take the bait."
"I have to go out to look at a house today. Qingwu sent someone to deliver a letter last night, and they rushed back overnight. Because he was inconvenient, he gave me a sum of money and asked me to find a house for his adoptive mother. I've said that, I'm going out first." Lin Huiru stretched her waist as she spoke, although this kind of work was tiring, but being a middleman to earn the difference still made her pocket a fortune, so why not do it.
In fact, according to what Qingwu said, it was very easy to find. It took Lin Huiru only half a day to find an acquaintance, and he found what Qingwu said was close to the downtown area, it didn't need to be too big, the decoration was elegant, and it was newly built. Although it is a little smaller than other mansions, Lin Huiru also likes this place very much.
In the afternoon, Qingwu got the news and brought her adoptive mother here.
"Why don't you take anyone with you? If the old man doesn't send a few people to take care of him, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient." Lin Huiru glanced behind Qingwu, it was empty, and there was nothing else except the carriage.
Qingwu smiled after hearing what she said, "Although my adoptive mother is weak, I can still do everything by myself. She doesn't want anything except the hidden guards she should have, right, adoptive mother?" He just finished
speaking , the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and before Lin Huiru had time to see the figure of the woman in the carriage clearly, Qingwu screamed. Looking in front of me, there is no old lady who is over fifty years old. Judging from her beautiful figure, she should be very young. In addition, she is covered with a veil, which makes people think she is a woman in her early twenties.
"Don't call me foster mother! Call me elder sister! You are weak! Your whole family is weak!" The woman's voice also sounded very young, but Lin Huiru was stunned by this scene.
It turned out that Qingwu's adoptive mother was so young.
"That... elder sister? Shall we go in first?" After all, Qingwu's identity is sensitive, and this place is also close to the downtown area, so it would be inconvenient for people to come and go if they were spotted.
This elder sister made the woman's heart elated, and she quickly let go of the crying Qingwu, pulled Lin Huiru on and entered the house, "This girl is still sensible and beautiful, how old is she this year? Is there a marriage? Although the boy in my family is not very sensible, but in fact he is still very good, he is handsome and knows martial arts, and he still has a few coins to keep you from starving, how about it, think about it?" This skillful sales method not only made Lin
Hui Such as doubting the age of the adoptive mother, and the state of mind of the adoptive mother.
"She has been married for a year, so don't think about it. Young master, I have someone I like. You can see if there is anything you are not satisfied with. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Reluctantly, he threw Lin Huiru a look of patience and said.
Chapter 646 Knowing the Moon
Hearing what he said, the woman's eyes showed a little bit of regret, "It's a pity that such a good girl... Actually, if you regret it, we, Xiaoxie, don't care about your reconciliation. You know, good girl The family is always worthy of a better man, how about it, think about it?" "Don't make
trouble here, she is Lin Huiru, and your husband is Xu Xiang, who has gained both fame and reputation, and you need to be here to replace her." I recommend?" Qingwu rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, seeing her like this, she must have no objection to this place, "Since you have nothing to do, I'll go first, if you like her, you continue to chat, I have to Go back and be my stone lion."
"Ah, you are Lin Huiru?" The woman really ignored the existence of Qingwu now, waved her hand and said, "Remember to close the door."
Lin Huiru watched Qingwu go away with a look of schadenfreude, and couldn't help but felt even more helpless, "Sister, do you know me?
" Yes. My name is Zhiyue, and you can actually call me aunt." Zhiyue lifted the veil, and underneath was a face that was as beautiful as Lin Huiru, and people would believe it if she said it was the same as Lin Huiru, "You don't have to. Looking at me this way, I am already in my twenties this year, and you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and I am about to be a round older than you."
Lin Huiru couldn't help being a little envious of her 30-year-old face so young, "If If you don't say anything, who can guess your age, Aunt Zhiyue, and you have maintained yourself without a single wrinkle, can you tell me how you did it?" "Of course, but you have to give me some benefits
. Although it's autumn, it's still very sunny outside, the first point is to get less sun, let's go to the house and talk." Zhiyue took Lin Huiru's arm, feeling quite emotional in her heart, if it wasn't for Lin Huiru If it is too unreasonable to be called a sister, she really feels a bit like seeing each other late.
Lin Huiru was sitting on the opposite side of Zhiyue at a loss, always feeling that Qingwu's out-of-the-ordinary appearance was probably learned in this way, "Well, I would like to ask, Aunt Zhiyue, you are so young, why do you..."
"Why is it Xiaoxie's adoptive mother?" Zhiyue accepted the words, and then showed a look of regret, "Actually, this incident is also a coincidence. He was only four or five years old when I picked him up, and I was only ten years old. How old was I? At that time, I was also a homeless child. Fortunately, there was an old beggar who treated me very well, so I took him back. It's funny, when I was young, I always felt that it was not easy for a woman to raise a child The old beggar also talked all day long that he would marry me and have a grandson for him, so I impulsively pointed at Xiaoxie and said he was my son. Age, I can be his mother even when I am older, but this skin is well maintained."
Lin Huiru was a little moved by the speed of Zhiyue's enunciation, and after listening to it, she had another doubt in her heart. "Then, why is it called Qingwu?"
Hearing her ask this question, Zhiyue looked left and right, lowering his voice as if he was guarding against something, "When he was a child, he was as black and dirty as carbon." , so I just picked up this name casually, and I don't have much culture, and I didn't expect him to use it all the time." "
So, it's just a name. But you are..." Lin Huiru suddenly realized The look nodded.
"Oh, Xiao Xie doesn't like to talk about childhood, if he eavesdrops, he will have to chatter non-stop." Zhiyue waved her hand, looking like a headache, "That's right. I vaguely remember just now Xiao Xie said that he has someone he likes, do you know who it is?"
Lin Huiru nodded, "Yes, and maybe you will like Aunt Zhiyue very much, but I don't know if they are destined or not. Personal identity is quite embarrassing."
After hearing this, Zhiyue nodded with a rather emotional expression, "His current identity is really not very good, he might as well be a beggar and be free. But the woman he likes What kind of family, what status, what personality? Can you tell me?"
This is a cliché when we first meet, even as a "parent" makes Lin Huiru feel a little uncomfortable. She is obviously just here to help find the mansion, why? Is it just a chat with you? "This... After all, it's their privacy. It's not good for us to talk about it like this? I have some things to do in the afternoon. If Aunt Zhiyue is satisfied with this place, I will leave first."
"Don't, it's good for the two of us to talk together. I'm bored if you leave, so stay with me as an elder." Zhiyue took Lin Huiru's arm. Although she was a little younger, she acted coquettishly There is no sense of incongruity.
Although Lin Huiru doesn't hate Zhiyue, she doesn't like it either, "But... I really have something to do." "
What's the matter? I know you business people are very busy, so it's good to take me as a helper." Isn't it?" Zhiyue continued to pester Lin Huiru, Lin Huiru was a little overwhelmed by the skill of sticking teeth.
"No, it's actually about official affairs. It's too important to involve innocent people. Auntie, can you just walk around the capital to pass the time?" Lin Huiru carefully removed Zhiyue's hand.
Zhiyue sighed, propping up her chin and looking a little helpless, "Well, you all have your own business. It's hard for you to chat with me so much. If you have time, you must come and play with me , I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, then you can find something to pass the time by yourself, and I'll leave first." Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, and being with someone can be regarded as very good It's a grinding thing.
Just when she got up, Zhiyue suddenly reached out and grabbed her, and then stuffed her an envelope, "Open it when you go back." Along the way, Lin Huiru's mind was full of the
things in the envelope, and when she arrived at the relative She couldn't wait to take it apart, but after just one glance, she immediately put the things back in again.
This is Anguo's deployment map!
But why is Zhiyue there?
Now that Xu Ziqiao is not here, Lin Huiru alone can't understand why this thing is not in Qingwu's place but Zhiyue brought it. No matter how you think about it, it should be more appropriate to put it in Qingwu's place.
Back in the room, Lin Huiru smelled a strange smell, whether it smells good or not, it doesn't count as bad, it's not the usual smell after all. She frowned and searched for the source of the smell, but her heart was shocked when she saw the flowers on the table.
When did the flower that failed to bloom get here! ?
Lin Huiru hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and stepped back, just bumping into Baishu who came here to deliver things.
Chapter 647 Suspicious Person
Seeing Lin Huiru's appearance, Bai Shu couldn't help being puzzled, "What's the matter? Why don't you go in?" "Don't go in yet
, tell everyone not to enter this yard, where is Qian Yi?" It should be Bai Qianyi guarding him, how could he be moved into this house without anyone noticing.
"What happened?" Bai Shu was still a little confused, but seeing Lin Huiru's frowning, he knew something was wrong, so he nodded and agreed, turned around and left.
In less than a stick of incense, Bai Shu ran over in a hurry, "Ma'am, brother, he is not in the mansion. I asked a few people and I don't know where he went. He seems to have disappeared since the afternoon. What can you do with him?" Is it?"
"Who else is guarding near that courtyard, and has anyone entered that courtyard today?" Lin Huiru felt that things were getting more and more wrong, and asked in a low voice.
Bai Shu thought for a while, then shook his head, "There is no one else. Mr. Xu is worried that someone will be accidentally poisoned, so he won't let everyone get close. Only brother is nearby to guard." Now it will be troublesome
.
Lin Huiru secretly thought something was wrong, but after thinking about it, Qingwu said that the flower was highly poisonous, but she was fine after smelling it, maybe it was really something Seran gave that did the trick. For Bai Qianyi's safety, Lin Huiru went to the yard regardless of dissuasion.
"Ma'am, this matter is dangerous. Why don't you wait for Master Xu to come back before you deal with it." Bai Shu looked at the yard and was still worried, so he reached out and grabbed Lin Huiru's cuff.
"That potted flower appeared in my room without anyone noticing it. Qianyi's whereabouts are unknown. What if something happens and I don't go and see it?" Lin Huiru patted Bai Shu's face. arm.
Bai Shu didn't let go, even though his elder brother was inside, "Ma'am, it's been so long, if elder brother is really inside, I'm afraid it won't help, but if there's something wrong with you, I'm afraid I can't explain it."
"Silly girl, I have taken the antidote, otherwise how could I come out of that room safe and sound?" Lin Huiru said helplessly, "Go back to the yard and watch over, Xu Ziqiao should be back soon, I'll go in and have a look Just come out, you don't have to worry."
Hearing what Lin Huiru said, Bai Shu agreed, and looked back worriedly. After all, one is the savior, and the other is the elder brother...
Lin Huiru pushed open the door of the courtyard, and the place was empty at first, but now it is even quieter, and even feels a little lifeless, because the potted flowers are placed, and there is no place on weekdays. People will be called in to tidy up the green plants, withered and dead, and it feels a bit dilapidated.
The door of the room where the flowers were stored was also closed. She opened the door preparedly, but all she saw was an empty table and a little dust.
Sure enough, it was the potted flower.
Lin Huiru hurriedly turned her head and walked out, just at the gate of the yard, where Xu Ziqiao was listening to Baishu explaining the matter, maybe because of her anxiety, Baishu didn't make it clear for a while.
"Qianyi is gone. I don't know why that potted flower appeared in the bedroom. In short, it's hard to live these few days." Lin Huiru spoke slowly behind Xu Ziqiao, a little confused.
Xu Ziqiao frowned tightly, "Let's send someone to find someone first."
Seeing Bai Shu heaving a sigh of relief and running away, Lin Huiru stepped forward to express her concerns, "If anyone else knows the function of flowers , then what we have done will be in vain. Let's make a bold guess. If Lou Lan Xizuo wants to use this to kill people, then there is no point in keeping Mu Chenyu." "The biggest problem is
still It's because of why Qianyi's whereabouts are unknown, and it's not easy for that person to transport the flowers there, but how do you know that there is that potted flower in the house? Could it be that you have gone in?" Xu Ziqiao was full of doubts, and walked up and down He looked down at Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Don't worry, Seran gave me a pack of medicine and said it was the antidote for the flower, so I was safe and sound. I also found the flower on the table when I entered the room. Think about it, if you came back first, things would be unimaginable." But this can be regarded as proof that perhaps this matter has little to do with Seran.
"Don't take that kind of unknown stuff next time, but since you're fine, it's fine. Since people can come in here without anyone noticing, it shouldn't be too safe. I don't worry about you being here by yourself. I'll go into the palace and explain the whole story." Xu Ziqiao sighed, pulled Lin Huiru and went out again.
Speaking of which, Xu Ziqiao's trip back and forth was considered a sight to behold. On the way, he happened to meet the father-in-law who was going to pass the news. Even if the two carriages stopped side by side in the middle of the road, no one dared to say anything just because of the identity of the owner of the carriage.
"Lord Xu, His Majesty called urgently, you should go there first." The father-in-law was sweating, thinking that this matter must be very urgent.
"I see. Eunuch Lao is here." After Xu Ziqiao finished speaking, the carriage sped towards the palace again.
...
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qian Yuan bowed his head in front of the desk, looking particularly tired, "The reason why I came back to you again is because someone found that kind of flower in my room, and several people have died by now. Isn't this flower supposed to be kept in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Your Majesty, on the way I came here, I happened to meet the father-in-law who delivered the message. I originally came here for this matter, and the flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion are still there, and the same , I don't know why Hua was moved into the room by someone. It seems that things have leaked out. I wanted to go to the palace to discuss the countermeasures with His Majesty, but I didn't expect..." Xu Ziqiao narrowed his eyes, "The people in Loulan should have jumped the wall in a hurry. "
Qian Yuan frowned and raised his head, "Didn't you swear that you and I would be able to catch the person behind the scenes? But now, not only did the person fail to catch him, but he was put in the flower under heavy guards." In the room, if someone hadn't entered the room to burn incense in advance, I'm afraid you are here for my funeral."
When she said this, Lin Huiru could hear Qian Yuan's suppressed anger. After all, the anger of this matter cannot be directed at Xu Ziqiao. It takes eight years to get in touch with Xu Ziqiao, but Xu Ziqiao was given full authority over this matter before. Even if the people in the palace are not good at martial arts, Xu Ziqiao has to face the responsibility of being questioned.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. The most urgent task is to close the palace gates and thoroughly investigate all the palace people who entered and exited today. If you don't seize the opportunity at this time, you may not have a chance. At that time, you can only wait until the war with Loulan, which will bring disaster to the people. The gain outweighs the loss." Xu Ziqiao said in a deep voice.
Chapter 648 Evaporation
Hearing this, Zhou Youde stood up with a bitter face, "Master Xu, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. There are so many masters in the palace, but no one noticed any suspicious people entering the palace." His Majesty's bedroom. But everyone who has entered has been sent to the Department of Punishment for punishment, but there is still no news. It seems that the thing appeared out of thin air, and the people disappeared suddenly. It makes people worry."
Indeed, after all, if someone can take a pot of flowers without anyone noticing without being discovered, even if it takes Qian Yuan's life, no one may know. If Loulan really has such a powerful master, why did he use such twists and turns to throw Jiang Guo into chaos.
"There must be something strange about this matter. If there is such a powerful person, it may not be possible to do such a thing. At most, there is no trace to be found, and the goals that can be achieved on the left and right are the same. There is no need to make extra efforts to dig warmth. Please be safe, Your Majesty. , I must find out as soon as possible." Xu Ziqiao lowered his head, although he said so, but in fact he didn't have a clue.
"Having said that, it cannot be ruled out that there is no other danger in the palace. This matter is of great importance. Why don't Mr. Xu stay in the palace for a few days and return to the prime minister's mansion after this matter is clarified?" Zhou Youde said, Although he said it, it probably also meant Qian Yuan.
After all, this incident happened suddenly, and if there was any temporary countermeasure, he would have been running back and forth on the road. Originally, Xu Ziqiao planned to live in the inn temporarily, but now he couldn't refuse, so he could only stay in the palace.
Xu Ziqiao will be at peace with the situation, but Lin Huiru can't calm down, "Didn't I go to find a mansion for Qingwu's adoptive mother today? After exchanging a few words in the afternoon, the adoptive mother gave me a letter and told me to come back and look again. In the envelope..." At this point, Lin Huiru looked around and lowered his voice, "The envelope contains Anguo's defense map." "Is
n't Qingwu supposed to do this?" Xu Ziqiao was a little puzzled Since Qingwu didn't want the adoptive mother to get into this messy water, how could it be possible for the adoptive mother to do this kind of thing on her behalf? Qingwu can discuss matters with him when he is preparing the defense plan, but now...
"I also find it strange, and the adoptive mother is not gray-haired and hobbled as we thought. The girl is beautiful, although she is close to thirty, but if you don't say it, she is a young woman." Lin Huiru wrinkled Frowning, a little puzzled.
Xu Ziqiao squinted his eyes, but had an unrealistic idea in his heart, "Now there is no chance to check this matter with Qingwu. The most important thing right now is that if the other party really concealed his strength, it will definitely happen tonight. It was a sleepless night. Even Qingwu couldn't get in the palace, and people who can put down things without anyone noticing, want to take people's lives easily."
Lin Huiru's hairs stood on end when he said this, so If you think about it, it seems that you must see blood tonight, "What should I do?" "
Perhaps others are more anxious than us. The most powerful people in the palace should have gathered here, and we have no other way." Xu Ziqiao was very helpless when he said this, after all, it was the truth.
Lin Huiru fell silent, she was not such a person who would be slaughtered by others.
This night, Lin Huiru thought that she had tried her best to make complete preparations, but the expected bloody storm or sneak attack did not come, but it was calm without even a wind blowing.
But in this way, people are even more panicked. It's like you know that you are a piece of pork that is about to be chopped into meat, but you don't know when the first knife will come down or where to chop it.
For several days in a row, there was nothing abnormal in such a large capital, and it was not a problem for the courtiers to stay in the palace for a long time, so Qian Yuan had no choice but to let them go back first.
The failed Luoshui has dried up into dead leaves, and there is no harm to people, and the strange smell in the house has almost dissipated in the past few days.
As soon as he got back to his little nest and sat down, Bai Shu came to report in a hurry, "Shangshu's mansion sent a lot of gifts, and Mu Shangshu's big house also came, waiting in the front hall, no matter what the reason is, I can't drive you away, and I don't want to go back until I see someone."
Lin Huiru rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, this is really a wave of ups and downs, "Maybe it's because Mu Chenyu is about to be sent down to plead for mercy. Yes, it's better to meet with the previous one and dispel their idea."
However, what they never expected was that as soon as they met in the front hall, Mrs. Zhao wiped away tears and looked at Xu Ziqiao with loving and guilty eyes, "My lord, do you know that we have been looking for you all these years?" How hard it is, the master is worried about this, most of his hair is gray, you don't know your life experience, right?" "Most of your hair is gray, how can I
remember that before the accident, I was still in high spirits, and my body looks better than mine. " Lin Huiru was stunned, but she didn't expect that this person came to recognize relatives. She must have no good intentions to do such a thing at this juncture, so she was not polite when she spoke. Moreover, Mrs. Zhao seems to be bullying them without knowing it, turning right and wrong here.
It's a pity that not only did they know about this matter, but they also knew it completely, so they would never believe such slanderous rumors.
Xu Ziqiao wasn't idle either, instead she didn't care and didn't even look her in the face, "I know, so what?"
Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, and forgot about all the greetings that she had planned before. It's clean, after all, Xu Ziqiao knew what he said, but he didn't admit it, obviously he didn't want to admit it!
At this time, especially when the Mu family is in a downturn, it seems that the Mu family is on the upswing.
"This...then why didn't the eldest son recognize your father? Although the master looks beautiful on the surface, he misses you very much in secret. When you were young, you were taken away by vicious slaves. Over the years, the master has never given up looking for you The chance of whereabouts, you... already know but don't want to admit it, do you have any difficulties or concerns?" Mrs. Zhao clutched her handkerchief, looking like a loving mother.
Lin Huiru probably also understands now that this Zhao family is the concubine back then, but what is the purpose of coming here to ask for warmth now? After all, Mrs. Zhao is Mutiancheng's biological mother. Mutiancheng is not dead yet, and the Mu family is not considered the last generation. Now Mrs. Zhao is looking for Xu Ziqiao, doesn't that make it clear that there is no way out for Mutiancheng at Mufeng's place?
But thinking about it, Mu Feng wanted to give up Mutian City a long time ago. If he could win over Xu Ziqiao now, it wouldn't do much harm to Mrs. Zhao. On the contrary, he could show consideration in front of Mu Feng. After all, they probably didn't expect them to know this long ago.
Chapter 649 No Free Lunch
Lin Huiru glanced at Xu Ziqiao with a smirk, and couldn't help but swear in her heart that this woman really has a thick skin. She can say such shameless words without changing her face or beating her heart? Maybe it's true that they are
nothing Knowing that I was stunned.
Xu Ziqiao also saw this matter very clearly. He looked at Zhao Shi with a blank face, "If I recognized my relatives before, it should be regarded as a high climber. If I recognize relatives now, then what is it? Besides, being kind is not as good as raising kindness." It's heavy, and it's such a big Xiangfu, is it difficult to find a child?"
His voice is neither soft nor heavy, but it will make people who are already guilty even more guilty.
Taking a step back, if it was Xu Ziqiao who confessed to her relatives before, it would be Gao Pan who plotted against others in order to divide the family property.
But now, the people from the Mu family came to the door first, and the status is reversed. They are all ghosts of thousands of years. What are you playing in Liaozhai?
Mrs. Zhao lowered her head, dodged her eyes a little, smiled awkwardly, and then changed to another The assistant said, "My lord, there must be some misunderstanding between you and your family. This concubine and your mother are close friends. To be able to find you, this concubine is worthy of my sister's spirit in heaven. Your eyebrows and your sister have seven eyes." Very similar!"
Originally, Lin Huiru took a sip of tea, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but spit out. If there is really a seven-point similarity, isn't it a man's face!? Look at
Lin Huiru like this, Xu Ziqiao reluctantly handed over the handkerchief to help her wipe her mouth, completely leaving Zhao Shi aside, "Be careful, is it still uncomfortable?" "
I'm fine." Lin Huiru waved her hand, she was still looking forward to this Could a woman say anything more outrageous?
Mrs. Zhao also felt being ignored, but her son will never make it, and now he can only win over the relationship with Xu Ziqiao, and suddenly began to cry without thinking, with a heart-piercing voice, "My lord, My master has been in poor health recently, and I always call you by your baby name in my dreams. Now that my family is in a downturn, my master's health has also deteriorated a lot. The imperial doctor said that I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life with Yaoshi. If you are at this time Master will be happy if I can go and see him, as the saying goes..."
"If Mr. Mu is really ill, it's right to go to visit as a colleague. If Mrs. Zhao came here for this matter, you can go back." Xu Ziqiao was a little upset by this woman's nagging. Does he think he is a fool?
Who is Mu Feng? How can he not know that they have been in the same relationship all day long? Take another ten thousand steps, if he really only now knows that Mu Feng is his biological father, so many times It's hard to guarantee that Mu Feng won't be mad when he knows this.
That is a person who takes advantage of his children regardless of right or wrong, so how could he have a loving father's heart and a feeling of licking the calf?
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect Xu Ziqiao to be so indifferent, and she just scolded the white-eyed wolf several times in her heart. But slander is useless after all, I'm done scolding in my heart, I still have to find a way to get closer.
It never occurred to her that the child she racked her brains to kill back then, now she has to curry favor with him in order to stabilize the Mu family.
Who told her son not to live up to his expectations? Even if only the one with the handle was left, he is still locked up in prison.
"Eldest son, you don't want to recognize each other, and I understand that we have treated you badly for so many years. Now thanks to the servant who told me back then, I'm afraid I'll miss it for the rest of my life. In fact...Eldest son, you might as well give us a Opportunity, it's good to give us a chance to make up for our mistakes, after all, blood is thicker than water, and my sister's spirit in the sky should be very happy and gratified." Zhao said slowly with tears in her eyes, thinking she was warm.
Lin Huiru couldn't help saying something in her heart, it's strange.
If Xu Ziqiao really believed in this woman, his own mother would be so angry that she would come down in a dream and strangle this woman to death.
The old woman is sincere, and the Zhao family is very hypocritical. Between the two, they are willing to believe in that old woman.
But... this matter actually leaked out...
"Mrs. Zhao, I should have made my words very clear. If Mr. Mu is unwell, it is natural for us to visit. But this morning, Mr. Mu had a lively quarrel with others, and he will be sick when he returns. Isn't it justified?" Xu Ziqiao waved his hand, and someone picked up the things brought by Mrs. Zhao and slowly carried them out of the room.
Zhao Shi didn't expect Xu Ziqiao to be so stubborn. It would be embarrassing to have a hot face and a cold buttock. She could only grit her teeth and leave with a smile, "Then think about it carefully, my lord. After all, blood is thicker than water..."
" Madam, please don't bark." After Xu Ziqiao finished speaking, she took Lin Huiru by the arm and walked away without looking back, leaving Zhao's head full of anger.
Lin Huiru followed Xu Ziqiao, glanced back from time to time, and waited until she could no longer see the shadow of Mrs. Zhao, then slowly expressed her puzzlement, "There were not many insiders back then, could it be that woman too?" Was she taken away by them?"
"It's hard to say, did you ask where the old lady lived?" Xu Ziqiao frowned, if the Mu family had long regarded her as a pawn in retreat, this matter would have been nothing. So easy.
"Not really, but I probably know my hometown and name. Don't worry. I'll send someone to inquire. At least I need to know what their calculations are." Lin Huiru settled down and grew a little Tone, I thought that the Mu family would gradually calm down like this, but I didn't expect to find this out now.
Xu Ziqiao didn't want to recognize each other at first, and his father's style is like this. If there is no desire for something, who would want such a father?
But now when the Mu family is going to be impoverished, that old fox Mufeng It would be a big trouble for them if they held onto Xu Ziqiao tightly.
It would have been fine if the Prime Minister had known about this for a long time, but if he had only learned about it recently, making trouble would only damage Xu Ziqiao's reputation.
After all, now Xu Ziqiao has a higher status, and to put it harshly, it is not good to have a reputation of belittling his biological father. Mu Feng clung to the words, thinking about it, it was really difficult.
Xu Ziqiao also had a headache because of this, but when he saw Lin Huiru's frown, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles for her, "What are you worrying about? I'm not the meat on the chopping board that will be slaughtered by them." , There have been a lot of things going on recently, so don't let them mess you up."
"I'm worried about what kind of indiscriminate means they use. You know what Mu Feng used to do. Now that they have no identity and fame, if they do things What can I do if I become more unscrupulous?" Lin Huiru held Xu Ziqiao's hand in her arms and muttered.
"Soldiers will block water and cover with soil, and the difficult ones should be behind." Although one hand was restrained, it did not prevent him from holding Lin Huiru into his arms with the other.
Chapter 650
"What kind of evil wind is blowing today to find me here?" Qingwu looked down the window, and this was Lin Huiru's shop, which was in the middle of the downtown.
Lin Huiru went forward and closed the doors and windows tightly, "Perhaps you can't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Recently, a big man came to the capital, who can enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace without anyone noticing. If you want to catch him It will be of no benefit to anyone if we use the handle to disturb the court, I came to you because I want to ask you a question." "
You want to ask, why did Zhiyue give you such an important thing?" Qing Wu He sat down with a hem of his clothes, and offered to pour a cup of tea for Lin Huiru.
"Yes, you don't worry about any mistakes." Lin Huiru couldn't help being startled, but since Qingwu knew about this matter, it's nothing.
Qingwu smiled, "Let's not talk about that first, when I came back, I met someone I never expected, why don't you guess who it is?
" It's a secret, it's not clear if anyone is watching us now, get this matter over quickly, I have other things to do when I go back." Lin Huiru couldn't help but frowned, this kind of guessing game is a bit tricky. Meaning nothing.
"No, you can guess it. Let me give you a hint. The woman in the capital who looks very similar to you was deliberately arranged by that person. He seems to be using that woman to think about others. Tsk, really It's affectionate enough, it almost moved me." Qingwu said, not forgetting to click his tongue lightly, as if sighing.
As soon as these prompt words came out, Lin Huiru almost subconsciously thought of who it was. After all, there was only one person who never forgot her, but Tang Junyi should be dead.
Qingwu seemed to see through her thoughts, "I also thought he was really dead, but thinking about it, it would be too simple for such a person to die just like that. I don't know how he got there I don't know if he escaped without arms or legs, but he still has the ability to make trouble."
"So, isn't your identity exposed? He won't do anything against us, right?" Lin Huiru frowned. Knowing this at this juncture, it's really lively enough.
Qingwu sighed with emotion, "Hey, we are in the light, and others are in the dark. Maybe this is the opportunity to let him see a lot of things clearly. However, he has no intention of settling accounts with me, but He wants me to do something for him to wipe out the hatred in the middle, and I also offered a very tempting bargaining chip." "
So, you said that because you agreed?" Lin Huiru squinted her eyes, sometimes I really have to doubt this inconsistency.
"Am I that kind of person? But the conditions he offered are really generous, do you know what he wants me to do?" Qingwu's face became a little gloomy, and he continued the conversation on his own, "He wants me to kill Xu Ziqiao."
Lin Huiru's hand trembled immediately, and the teacup almost fell to the ground. Although Xu Ziqiao is quite powerful now, in terms of force alone, he is really not his opponent. Right?"
"What are you thinking, Zhiyue, I have already taken it to my side. Others need money and have money, and if you don't have money, there is you who can make money. In terms of you, you can cover the sky with one hand, why should I go? What about betting on him? I'm just telling you, be careful recently, there are quite a few people who are eyeing you, but today, no one followed." Qingwu felt a little funny seeing Lin Huiru panicked like this, But he didn't laugh outright.
Sometimes, people really have to rely on these extraneous things to save their lives. If they are just people who are useless to Qingwu, I am afraid that the feng shui will turn around now. Lin Huiru put down her teacup and hooked her lips, "It's a good thing I didn't misread you, but since he didn't die, he didn't do anything. What was he trying to figure out?" "What? It's hard to say, after all,
he The current identity seems to be much more comfortable, although there are not so many people around to flatter, but with that woman who can pin their love by their side, the two of them should not mention how happy they are, right?" Qing Wu joked, in Lin Hui Ru changed his words before his face completely darkened, "Okay, don't be angry, he will put his identity on the surface sooner or later, if you want to talk about the benefits of doing this, I don't need to tell you that you should be able to." After analyzing it, why bother me to waste my time."
Lin Huiru sighed, with mixed feelings in her heart, the feeling of being found a substitute is really hard to compliment, "Since he has looked for you, you should know him better than us who have not been in touch for a long time. Yes, I will treat you to dinner, and I will cook it for you. If you don't say anything useful, I will tell Zhiyue that the person you like is Tangtang tomorrow. See if she will I'll find something for you to do." It has to be said that Lin Huiru's search for someone's lifeline is also accurate.
Qingwu couldn't help shivering, and then gave Lin Huiru a helpless look, "What is this, making money with kindness. I'm not a roundworm in Tang Junyi's stomach, I'm just an innocent passerby, and I was almost killed by him first. Killed and threatened by you again, why am I suffering so
much?" "Stop doing this, or help me find out who is able to sneak into the palace and the prime minister's house without anyone noticing it." , since this kind of person is in the capital, he is not a small threat. And it is difficult to rule out whether Loulan has colluded with Anguo. If Jiang Guo falls by then, you will also be affected. At this moment, it is also good to do more Save yourself." Lin Huiru said lightly.
"Okay, what you say is right, but I think that if there is such a powerful No. 1 person, it should not escape my eyes. Although I am not in Jiang Country for a while, the Proton Mansion I also kept people on the side, and they will naturally pay attention to whether there is any change in the capital. At least one Loulan person should be sent to Loulan, but there should be no Loulan people coming recently, otherwise there should be no one from the government. What you need to pay attention to is. And if you are a person who originally came to Beijing... There are not many people who have the ability to enter and leave the palace at will. Although they are individuals in the world, the court must be vigilant. Can you do it without anyone noticing it?" Qingwu's series of words made Lin Huiru feel a little confused.
If it wasn't some capable person, could it be that he had seen a ghost? "Then, in your opinion, what should this matter be?"
