Chapter 67: Forming an Alliance

The eldest princess wore a lilac hibiscus round neck robe, her hair was only pulled up with a hosta, and she thought that she had just been drenched in the rain and changed her clothes, so she dressed up at will, the eldest princess's bedroom was much richer than Mu Chenghuang's nature, the carved log bed of rosewood, the goose gauze soft tent hung down from the top, the hollow gilded Boshan incense burner on the table was burning with civet incense, and the tea sea made of mahogany was still boiling water, but the water boiled several times, but the eldest princess did not have the meaning of pouring tea.

The eldest princess saw that Mu Chenghuang's gaze fell on the sea of tea, and shrugged her shoulders slightly: "Look at me, forget about this boiling water." The eldest princess stretched out her hand, trembling slightly, and wanted to go directly to the tea stove, but fortunately was stopped by Mu Chenghuang.

"Sister Queen. ”

The teapot was boiling on the small stove for a long time, it was burned red, and it would inevitably be burned if you went directly to the end, Mu Chenghuang married the white cotton cloth next to him and picked up the teapot, poured water directly on the charcoal, and forcibly extinguished the charcoal fire, only to pull the eldest princess to sit on the mahogany Zen chair on the side, and said slowly: "Sister Huanghuang, you suddenly called me over in such a hurry, in the end, what did you find?"

The eldest princess didn't have grease powder on her face, but her skin was fair, and she was good-looking in the past, but today she looked a little haggard, she took out a wooden box from a wooden cabinet at the head of the bed and put it in front of Mu Chenghuang, glanced at each other, opened the wooden box, inside, there were two half-rotten witch Gu dolls, one with the name of Duan Guifei, and the other with the name of the eldest princess, all of them were covered with silver needles, and the piercing were all fatal places such as the heart and temples, and the witch Gu doll of Duan Guifei not only pierced a lot of needles, but also had blood stains on the needle mouth。

Mu Chenghuang just glanced at it, and his heart beat very fast, these witch dolls have been looking at it for some years, if it weren't for this heavy rainstorm that is rare in a hundred years, they would definitely not be able to rush out.

The eldest princess said with a slight twitch in her teeth: "It was discovered by Zhishu, fortunately, no one else knows, but, Cheng Huang, do you know? Some people hate me, no, it is someone who hates me and my mother, why are they so vicious, is the death of my mother related to these? I don't dare to tell my father, nor do I dare to tell the queen mother, my father hates witches and this kind of thing the most, I am afraid that if I tell him, I will be bitten back by the person who wants to kill me." ”

Mu Chenghuang's mood is extremely complicated, on the one hand, such a major matter, the eldest princess can call her over to discuss it as soon as possible, that is, she trusts her very much, she never thought that she would be so lucky to be believed by someone so unconditionally.

But on the other hand, she doesn't know how to react, the eldest princess is born to be the pride of the sky, the status of the concubine is supreme, and the queen mother loves the eldest princess very much, the eldest princess is like a simple and kind golden phoenix, she always selflessly takes care of every sister under her, and never thinks badly about people, if she persuades her to settle things, if someone really wants to harm her, she will not become an accomplice, but if she persuades her to investigate thoroughly to the end, tooth for tooth, she is a little afraid, she is afraid that the eldest princess will feel that she is too vicious.

When he hesitated, Mu Chenghuang decided to test the eldest princess's own attitude first, but gently stroked the eldest princess's back to calm her down a little, and then said, "What does the eldest sister think?"

The eldest princess's eyes widened, and Mu Chenghuang said again: "Has the eldest sister always suspected in her heart that the death of Duan Guifei was not an accident, but also a possibility, it was man-made?"

"You mean, someone wants to kill me, no, someone wants to kill me and my mother?" the eldest princess's voice trembled, "But, why?"

"Sister Huanghuang, you need a reason to be good to a person, hate a person, or want to harm a person, do you need a reason?" Mu Chenghuang said, "What's more, this is in the palace, not to mention, at that time, Duan Guifei was favored and favored, and the concubines next to her will inevitably blush when they see it, but the witchcraft is just hearsay, come to think of it, this is only done by one of the people who want to harm Duan Guifei, and there are other people who really harm Duan Guifei." ”

The corners of the eldest princess's lips trembled uncontrollably, and she said sneeringly: "But at that time, the mother concubine was on a cruise ship, and her heart palpitations attacked. ”

"But what if someone knows that Duan Guifei has heart palpitations, and deliberately causes Duan Guifei's heart palpitations, and then makes the cruise ship unable to dock for a long time, so that Duan Guifei dies after ineffective treatment? Isn't this equivalent to murder?" Mu Chenghuang actually noticed a very small detail a long time ago, originally she didn't know much about the death of Duan Guifei, but later became familiar with the eldest princess, and slowly heard that on that day, Fang learned that Duan Guifei's cruise ship did not dock in time because the oars accidentally slipped into the water, and because of this, the eunuch and the palace maid who served the cruise ship at that time were all convicted and executed.

But just a while ago, Mu Chenghuang passed by Bibo Lake, and saw Wu Zhaoyi and Lu Cairen preparing to take a boat to cruise the lake, but saw that although the oars were active, they were also connected to the hull with an iron chain。

"Moreover, why did Concubine Duan have heart palpitations at that time, does the eldest imperial sister know?"

The eldest princess swallowed her saliva and said, " At that time, the queen mother also told me that no matter how much mistake my uncle made, it was his own business, since the father had found out, the mother did not know, and naturally he would not be angry with the mother and me, and said that the future honor of the mother concubine would not be affected, but on the cruise ship, the mother concubine somehow suddenly knew that her uncle had committed corruption and was assigned to the news of the frontier。 ”

"That's it. ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she just looked at Mu Chenghuang in a daze.

"Perhaps, someone took advantage of Duan Guifei's heart palpitations to deliberately change a cruise ship with oars and hull chains that had long been broken, and let Duan Guifei know what happened to her brother, causing Duan Guifei to fall ill, but she couldn't be treated. Mu Chenghuang came to a conclusion, but the eldest princess said sneeringly: "Is this the case?

Although the eldest princess is benevolent, she is smart after all, so many strange things, if it is a coincidence, it is too bizarre, at that time, the father and the emperor had already begun to discuss with the ministers about the establishment of the mother concubine, according to Mu Chenghuang, it was on the cusp.

"Concubine Xi! it's her, it must be her, and only she wants to harm her mother, and only she has the ability to do things on the cruise ship in the palace, and only she has such a vicious heart, and she has to trap her mother to death," the eldest princess gritted her teeth and said, At that time, the mother concubine cooperated with the queen mother to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, even if she found that there were things in the palace of Concubine Xi who were greedy for ink and filled her pockets, she also talked about the matter, punished those eunuchs and palace maids who committed crimes, and did not blame Concubine Xi at all. ”

"Concubine Xi is insidious and calculating, I'm afraid that the matter of greedy ink at that time can't be separated from her, after all, the expenses in her palace are terrifying, but she just pushed this crime on the palace maid, I thought that Duan Guifei would look at her face and wipe this matter away, or at least don't execute those palace maids so seriously, but who expected, Duan Guifei is selfless, or perhaps, Duan Guifei actually found something more secret," Mu Chenghuang clenched the eldest princess's hand and said: " Sister Huang, you and I are both people who have lost their mothers, and now, we are together. ”

The eldest princess looked back at Mu Chenghuang, and suddenly felt a sense of pity, she patted the back of Mu Chenghuang's hand, her originally fierce eyes slowed down a little, and said: "Good Chenghuang, I have really suffered you in the past six months, when I dug out this witch doll from the flower bed, my heart was very uncomfortable, and I was supported back by Zhishu and Zhihua, even if they are my most trusted maidservants, I don't dare to say this to them, Chenghuang, now I only trust you, you say, what should we do now?"

This great trust makes Mu Chenghuang have mixed feelings in her heart, she thinks that she is a barefoot homeless man who is not afraid of a lady who wears shoes, and she just wants to find out the death of her mother concubine, so that the guilty person deserves it, but the eldest princess is different from her, she has a reputation for generosity, the favor of the queen mother and the emperor, and even now, she is about to enter a marriage of talented men and women, Luan Feng and Ming, does she really want to drag the eldest princess into the water?

Seeing her hesitation, the eldest princess shook her hand again and said, "Good Chenghuang, you and I are in the same situation, you understand how I feel in my heart, don't you?"

Mu Chenghuang knew that the eldest princess was angry, her reason had been replaced by the grief of losing her mother, it was better to obey her at this time, if she figured it out in the future, and didn't want to be with herself, it didn't matter, Mu Chenghuang said quietly: "Since this matter, we all suspect that it is related to Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi is now pregnant with the imperial heir, after giving birth to a child, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the father will only be more favored. ”

"Well," the eldest princess nodded, "and what can I do?"

"The Queen Mother is only doting on you now, but it may not be trust, we are now trying to make the Queen Mother really trust us. Mu Chenghuang suddenly felt a little weak, "As for the other fragmentary clues, leave them to me first, Song Kui that the eldest sister said before, I have already sent someone to investigate." Mu Chenghuang's tone was a little unsteady, she didn't know whether she took over the matter of Song Kui's side in order to investigate, or was she afraid that if the eldest princess knew about the connection between Song Kui and Zhou's medical hall, Shun Teng was suspicious of Prince Su, she didn't want to see such a situation, even if Prince Su really had something to do with this matter, she just hoped that it would be solved by herself, of course, in her heart, she was looking forward to Prince Su not being in this game.
