A plate of fried gold rolls was placed at hand, the crispy skin of the yellow and clear seemed to be scattered as soon as it was blown, and the green of green beans and the aroma of glutinous rice mixed with sauce were faintly revealed in the skin, Mu Chenghuang picked up a silver chopstick, and picked up a crispy skin and the most full filling, and suddenly a cry sounded outside: "Please also ask the princess to testify for the concubine and clear up the grievances." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Bang, the golden roll that was picked up fell back into the plate, and the puff pastry was scattered on the plate, Mu Chenghuang shook his head, it was really a waste.

She was a little annoyed, this crying had been going on all morning, nothing more than for her own arm.

Three days ago, the assassins in the palace attacked, it was a family banquet, many concubines attended, the assassin's target was the current emperor, Mu Chenghuang's father Mu Yuanan. Unexpectedly, even when attending the family banquet, Mu Yuanan had enough people around him, and the assassin was not allowed to get close, so he simply wanted to take a palace concubine as a hostage, so as to protect his whole body and escape.

At that time, there were many people in chaos, and I don't know who pushed him, Mu Chenghuang became the best target of the assassin so gorgeously, fortunately, the rescue was timely, but the assassin's knife was fast, and it still injured Mu Chenghuang's left arm, and a finger-long wound was drawn, and the skin was open.

However, it is better to be injured than to be taken captive, and if you are taken captive, you dare not imagine the end, even if you can come back safely, you will be sent to become a monk because of immorality.

But a few days later, I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that the five princesses Mu Chenghuang were deliberately pushed out by Ma Cainu of Fuluan Pavilion that day.

Since the death of the fifth princess's mother, although the fifth princess is not favored, she is also the princess Yongtai of the third grade, and how can the little girl be offended, but in the end, it is also crazy, and no one dares to stand up and testify openly.

But Ma Cainufei couldn't stand the slightest slander with a glass heart, and knelt in Mu Chenghuang's Jinglan Palace early this morning, crying and shouting for Mu Chenghuang to prove her innocence, saying that he didn't push her that day.

How did Mu Chenghuang know who pushed him that day, the scene was chaotic, and a group of domineering concubines were like a litter of chicks, trembling and scurrying around.

The concubines were in a hurry to retreat, but someone suddenly pushed forward behind her, she wanted to catch the person with her backhand, but only touched a jade bracelet, Ma Cainu was indeed close to her that day, but she remembered clearly, there was no jade bracelet on Ma Cainu's wrist that day, so she naturally knew that it was not her.

When Ma Cai came to the girl's time, Mu Chenghuang was still in a daze, and he got up sleepily and persuaded for a long time.

"Ma Cainu, you said that no one blames you now, and there is no evidence, and my father didn't care about this matter, what are you doing here?"

"Ma Cainu, in terms of seniority, I still have to call you Thirty-Seven Niang, you are kneeling with me, it is really tormenting the palace."

Ma Cainu stopped crying and glared: "Thirty-seven mothers? ”

"That's right, this palace has counted, you are the thirty-seventh concubine of my father's emperor, can you not call you thirty-seven mothers?"

It's probably because Mu Chenghuang doesn't know how to persuade people, maybe Mu Chenghuang doesn't want to persuade this Ma Cainu who won't die if he doesn't do it, in short, Ma Cainu cried even more when she heard this.

The crying outside was a little quieter, and Ma Cainu was tired of crying, and she turned from a howling cry to a whimpering cry, and the palace maid Wenzhi knocked on the door at this time.

"Come in." As soon as Mu Chenghuang spoke, Wen Zhi pushed the door in, and the earth-shattering cry of the horse picking girl rang out again, Wen Zhi hurriedly closed the door, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and saw that the fried gold rolls on Mu Chenghuang's table were not moved, and asked, "Is it that the slave maid didn't do a good job of fried gold rolls this time?" ”

"No, I'm out of mood because of the one outside." Mu Chenghuang simply put down his pen, practiced the words all morning, and his hands were sore, plus the left arm couldn't be forced, he couldn't press the paper, and it was laborious to write a little bit of this paper.

Wen Zhi is eighteen years old, born slender, wicker-like figure, delicate face, those eyes are always kind and gentle, her steps are light, she filled the copper basin with a long-spouted pot with water, wet the towel, wrung it out, and said while handing it to Mu Chenghuang: "It's the slave who is stupid, I've been learning to fry gold rolls for so long, and it's not as delicious as half of what the princess makes, and the princess is tired of writing, wipe her face." ”

"You love to say something to make me happy," Mu Chenghuang took the towel, wiped the ink on his palm, and asked, "Have you gone to find it?" ”

"I found it," Wen Zhi bowed his head, "Li Zhaoyuan, the head of Fuluan Pavilion, said that this is Ma Cainu's own business, and she can't care about it, and she also said that when she was assassinated that day, she also clearly saw that Ma Cainu was standing behind the princess, and persuaded the princess to hand over Ma Cainu directly to the emperor for decision. ”

"It's really a big deal to see the excitement." Mu Chenghuang shook his head.

Mu Chenghuang didn't want to find out who the initiator was, she was so angry in her heart, but as she persuaded Ma Cainu, since the death of her mother, she was dispensable in front of her father, she couldn't speak at all, and the scene was chaotic, with just a jade bracelet, there was really no way to find out, and she couldn't tell the snake, this is one of them.

Second, if he was carried away by this anger, and really listened to this rumor and handed over Ma Cainu, wouldn't it be a fulfillment of the wish of the person who spread rumors, so that Ma Cainu would be severely punished and resentful that she didn't say anything, if the case was overturned in the future, what would be her situation?

She doesn't like to be wronged, but sometimes, in order not to be wronged in the long run, she has to learn to endure and learn to follow the vine.

"That's it, you comb my hair for me, and I'll go out again to persuade this horse picking girl."

Wen Zhi dipped a comb in water to Mu Chenghuang's hair, Mu Chenghuang raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, her complexion was pale, now her arm is injured, her qi and blood are a little insufficient, and her skin is as clear as a snow, and the two slender eyebrows are depicted by Wen Zhi's skillful hands on the good-looking Yuanshan Dai, which is different from the plain face of the Central Plains people, Mu Chenghuang has a pair of deep eye sockets, small and three-dimensional facial features, and a pair of apricot eyes seem to have a natural gorge and romance, and Gu Pan is all color.

Mother Concubine Rufei is a typical Jiangnan person, melon seed face, when she laughs, her eyes will be like two curved crescents, extremely gentle, since Mu Chenghuang was sensible, others have inevitably discussed, why Mu Chenghuang is completely different from Concubine Ru in terms of appearance and temperament.

Mu Chenghuang himself also doubted that they were also daughters, why did his father only care about the other sisters, but rarely cared about her, only when she was sick, he would occasionally come to visit, and the visit, most of the time, was also in the outer hall to reprimand the imperial doctor, he must cure himself.

At that time, she was still thinking about whether she would be able to see her father often if she could get sick.

She once asked her mother in a daze, is she born to her father? As a result, he was slapped in the mouth by the gentle mother concubine, and he was not allowed to mention this matter again, let alone in front of the emperor.

The old men who wrote history books said that since ancient times, she always pointed to this passage and laughed with her mother, how could this beauty have a thin life? Aren't all beautiful people pampered by men?

Until last year, Ru Concubine died, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

If Concubine Xi originally received the emperor's intentions, to assist the Queen Mother in taking care of the affairs of the six palaces, not long after, Concubine Ru was infected with the cold, at that time Concubine Xi's brother Yuan Zishan went to the Eastern Qin, triumphantly returned to Beijing, the emperor is to go to the palace of Concubine Xi every day, rarely come to visit Concubine Ru.

If the concubine has just died, Concubine Xi, who has always been commensurate with Concubine Ru as a sister in the past, is in charge of the phoenix seal, exercising the power of the queen, and the queen mother is in charge of the six palaces, Mu Chenghuang always feels that the mother concubine died strangely, think about it carefully, you can find a lot of doubts, but the emperor decided not to pursue it anymore, such as the concubine's bones are not cold, but her Mu Chenghuang's heart is completely cold, even if the father and the emperor don't like him, but the mother concubine has been married to him for many years, but he said that he doesn't care.

The more the death of Concubine Ru fell into the dust, the more brilliant Concubine Xi's life seemed to be.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenghuang blinked quickly and withdrew the tears that were about to overflow, it has been so long, even if she feels uncomfortable, but the days always have to move forward, she can't always be immersed in the past, what she has to do now is to live well in this huge and helpless palace, and second, she already feels that the death of her mother is strange, even if she is weak now, she must find out the truth.

After a while, Wen Zhi invited Ma Cainu in.

Ma Cainu has a national face, fortunately, her facial features are good, and her body is slender, otherwise, she would not have chosen to enter the palace, because there is no meat on her body, she knelt outside and her bones hit the ground, Ma Cainu is also clever, she stands up and cries when no one is around, she looks staggered and sad and limps in, Mu Chenghuang saw through it at a glance, but it didn't break it, only let Wenzhi serve tea.

"This palace is not as good as the rich Luan Pavilion of the women, and the tea is all the old tea dregs left over from last year, don't mind the women."

Ma Cainu rubbed her knees and sat down: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the tea that the princess appreciates is naturally expensive." After that, he woke up his nose gently, and the sound of snot made Mu Chenghuang almost vomit the tea back.

Mu Chenghuang put down the teacup and smiled shyly: "The girl is tired of crying today." ”

Ma Cainu's eyebrows lit up, she nodded, and her eyes turned red again: "As long as the princess can say a fair word and clear the charge for the concubine, the concubine is willing to kneel until her legs are lost." ”

"Why does Ma Cainu raise the palace like this," Mu Chenghuang smiled lightly, "Cainu also knows, there is no prince under the father's knees, only a princess, but among several princesses, the least favorite is the palace, Cainu thinks, if this palace goes to talk about this, does the father believe in Cainu, or is he more disgusted with the palace and Cainu?" ”

Ma Cainu choked and didn't speak, Mu Chenghuang said again: "But this palace can give Cainu an idea, Cainu kneeling here in the palace is useless, but if you go directly to your father to kneel, it's different, Cainu wants to kneel, it's best to kneel a big one, kneel in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, it's best to cry like today, one day does not kneel for two days, two days does not achieve kneeling for three days, if you are lucky, your father may take this matter to heart, investigate this matter thoroughly, and this palace is good to follow Cainu to get wet, I know who pushed the main palace that day. ”

"But what if you're unlucky?" Ma Cainu was uneasy.

Mu Chenghuang's eyebrows raised slightly: "Disturb the king's heart, ignore the palace rules, enter the cold palace at the least, and ask for beheading." ”

Ma Cainu's legs went limp, and she almost slipped off the stool.

Mu Chenghuang glanced at Ma Cainu's frightened brick face, and continued: "What are you afraid of, isn't life more important than Ma Cainu's innocence?" If the father has compassion for Ma Cainu, won't he rehabilitate Ma Cainu?" Mu Chenghuang pretended to stroke his chest suddenly, "Oh, not necessarily, this investigation is also about evidence, the concubines who attended that day all said with false rumors that it was Ma Cainu who pushed the palace out, although the palace did not believe it, but since the father wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would inevitably give everyone an explanation, if so, Ma Cainu would be explained ......." ”

That's a dead end! Ma Cainu exclaimed: "The princess save me." ”

Mu Chenghuang softly patted Ma Cainu's cold little hand: "Don't worry, this matter is caused by the palace, every time the festival day of the Cainu, the palace will burn more paper money for the Cainu." ”
