Chapter 102: Entrusted with a Heavy Task
Mu Chengxin's voice was still slurred, but Mu Chenghuang was not ready to continue listening, she didn't want to know the content of these people's secret conversations, she just wanted to know the eldest princess's attitude towards her, but now it seems that the eldest princess is still quite protective of herself, which makes her feel at ease.

Out of the palace gate, I saw Zhishu nervously guarding the door, and when I saw Mu Chenghuang coming out, I immediately greeted him, thinking that Mu Chenghuang was angry and ready to leave, so he was busy persuading: "Fifth princess, the most important thing for my princess is the fifth princess, don't think about it, she didn't send a slave to invite you over today, she also felt that these three people were not good, knowing that the fifth princess had a lot of things recently, and didn't want the fifth princess to bother." β
"Okay," Mu Chenghuang's face was plain and quiet, but there was no trace of anger at all, "When your princess is free, tell her ......." Mu Chenghuang told Zhishu what he was going to remind, but he didn't say it so clearly, he just said that this was a matter of the Inner Government Bureau and the Inner Servant Province, and Kang Fushou, the Inner Servant of the Inner Servant Province, was also Concubine Xi's person, so it was best not to get involved in it.
Although this logic is a bit twisty, it also makes sense.
Sure enough, as Mu Chenghuang expected, on the second day, someone found Ying'er's body in an abandoned well in the cold palace, and there was a very obvious scar on Ying'er's head after being knocked with a blunt object.
However, I heard that Zhao Meiren was sad for a while when she heard the news that Ying'er died in the well, and she kept telling people how obedient Ying'er was before, and how much she valued her, so that because Ying'er made a mistake, she was punished to go to the court bureau to do work and think, and she didn't take her out just to continue to exercise She is, although she didn't send someone to the court bureau, but she has been paying attention to Ying'er's news, who expected that she was ready to take Ying'er back, it was such a change, it is said that Zhao Meiren also cried and fainted twice, and even the queen mother sent Yu Dong to see it and said some words of reliefγ
Ying'er's body was found at noon, although it was only about ten hours away from death, but in this weather, the raw meat stinked for a long time, not to mention a big living person who was held in the well, it is said that when the people of the Xi Official Bureau hung Ying'er's body up with a hook, the smell closed several palace gates, and the mugwort leaves were smoked along the road, so that it did not affect the nearest Xiuying Pavilion.
In the evening, Mu Chenghuang went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye as usual, thinking that this time he would definitely talk about Ying'er when he went to Shoukang Palace, and I don't know how the Queen Mother saw it, after all, Zhao Meiren made a lot of noise, if it is thoroughly investigated, it will soon be able to find Ying Baolin in Xiuying Pavilion.
At the gate of the hall, before stepping on the steps, he met the eldest princess who came to ask for peace, since the last time the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel because of Mu Chengyao's matter, it seems that they have not spoken in person, Mu Chenghuang raised his head, impartially, the eldest princess also has a steady gait, it was when the meeting was made, but the eldest princess suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Mu Chenghuang's fingertips.
"Good to be a phoenix. Just these three words, nothing else, just waiting for Mu Chenghuang to turn around, Mu Chenghuang hesitated for a moment, or turned his head, his face couldn't help but have a faint smile, the eldest princess saw it, and the heart that was originally hanging on the ground also fell to the ground, and she said more kindly:" After I came back that day, I was annoyed, I really shouldn't have said that about you, yesterday after you left, Zhishu also told me that you had been here, and reminded me of the things of Ying'er, but in the future, no matter what you have to do, how much you have to let me know, although I can't help, but I don't want to, I'm the last person to know. β
Mu Chenghuang held the eldest princess's hand in the palm of her hand with her backhand, she was so nervous that her palms were full of sweat, but the eldest princess did not dislike it, and she also held Mu Chenghuang's hand tightly.
"It's me who worries the eldest sister. Mu Chenghuang lowered her head, but she knew in her heart that the eldest princess and herself were two completely material people, and in the future, she could get very close to the eldest princess, but it was absolutely impossible to let the eldest princess know everything.
The two entered the Empress Dowager Pei's dormitory hand in hand, although the room was cooler than the outside, but it was still a little stuffy, Gu Mama asked the palace maid to bring water in time for the two princesses to wipe their sweat, the eldest princess looked around, and found that there was no ice cubes here, just to ask, Gu Mama took the initiative to say: "The queen mother has had another wind in the past two days, and there is no need for ice cubes, if the two princesses are hot, the slave maid will go and get two bowls of cold mung bean soup." β
"It's out of the way," the eldest princess smiled, "it's cool in this room, too." β
Empress Dowager Pei opened her eyes slightly from the couch and said a little tiredly: "Huanzhi, go and get it." Fu looked at the eldest princess and Mu Chenghuang again, "It was specially prepared for the two of you, you two have been working hard recently." β
The eldest princess and the Empress Dowager Pei first reconciled the accounts for a while, the Empress Dowager Pei looked extremely tired, and the head wind attacked, from time to time she had to ask Mama Gu to come over and give her a ** forehead for her, so that she could continue to listen, the account was finished, the eldest princess just glanced back at Mu Chenghuang, and it seemed that you were hesitating to take out Ying'er's matter and say it.
However, Empress Dowager Pei took the initiative to say: "Recently, the harem seems to be a little unpeaceful. Then he sighed and said, "At noon, Zhao Meiren came to the mourning family in the big sun, and it was difficult for her, she didn't like to run to my old woman on weekdays, and today I knelt outside for a stick of incense, so that the mourning family could deal with it impartially, saying that this palace maid died a strange death." β
Mu Chenghuang lowered her head, she didn't know the attitude of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Pei just asked her: "Chenghuang, what do you think of this matter?"
Mu Chenghuang raised his eyes, Empress Dowager Pei was closing her eyes to recuperate, her fingers were still fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand one by one, Mu Chenghuang said with a clear eye: "I heard that now not only Zhao Meiren wants to investigate thoroughly, but because this rumor and rumors all point to Xiuying Pavilion, the main seat of Xiuying Pavilion, Wu Zhaoyi Niangniang and Lu Cairen, all require a thorough investigation." β
Mu Chenghuang only didn't say Ying Baolin, this meaning is already obvious, if the Queen Mother wants to investigate, it will inevitably involve Ying Baolin.
"What do you think?"
Mu Chenghuang bowed his head: "Chenghuang thinks that he also wants to give everyone an explanation, after all, it is a human life." Mu Chenghuang couldn't say that he would let Ying'er die in vain, and this matter would be revealed, besides, looking at the meaning of the Queen Mother, he didn't want this.
It was a long time of silence and silence, and Empress Dowager Pei finally opened her eyes slowly, tilted her head slightly, looked directly into Mu Chenghuang's eyes and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to Chenghuang to investigate." β
Mu Chenghuang was very surprised that Empress Dowager Pei would make such a decision, and before she could speak, Empress Dowager Pei continued: "If you need help, just look for Huanzhi and the mourning family." β
The eldest princess also knew that the twists and turns here were not so simple, and she could see Mu Chenghuang's reluctance and fear, so she persuaded softly: "Queen Mother, this is a murder case in the end, and it involves Zhao Meiren and Xiuying Pavilion, two high-grade concubines, Cheng Qing is afraid, they will not obey the words of the five emperor sisters, in the end, if they bully the five emperor sisters instead." β
"The mourning family will make a decree, and no one will bully Chenghuang. "Empress Dowager Pei has made up her mind, Mu Chenghuang and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and they were still blessed, and they were considered to have received their orders.
Then the three of them talked for a while, but Mu Chenghuang's mind was already messed up, she never expected that Empress Dowager Pei would entrust such an important task to herself, and she didn't know whether to say that Empress Dowager Pei trusted herself and wanted to exercise herself, or that she felt that her mind was impure because of Mu Chengyao's previous affairs, so she wanted to embarrass herself.
Mu Chenghuang's mind was in chaos, occasionally the Queen Mother asked, she was always half a beat slower, out of the dormitory, the sunset outside only left a blood red in the sky, and the afterglow reflected on Mu Chenghuang's fair and ruddy cheeks, magnifying her sadness many times.
The eldest princess was also puzzled by the Queen Mother's approach, so she only comforted her later: "Don't be afraid, I will go with you tomorrow." β
Tomorrow? Mu Chenghuang sighed leisurely, Zhao Meiren is so menacing, I'm afraid that tonight will not make people happy.
Sure enough, it was night, and the night was thick, and occasionally dark clouds obscured it, blocking the light of the moon and stars, and plunging the whole world into boundless darkness.
Mu Chenghuang was about to fall asleep, but he heard Baojuan guarding the door and a small palace maid chattering.
"The princess is asleep, don't tell the princess about these strange things. β
"But Zhao Meiren made a lot of trouble there, if she continued to make trouble, I was afraid that the emperor and the queen mother would be alarmed, so she went in and gave the princess. β
Baojuan frowned, it was hesitation, the door of the dormitory suddenly opened, Mu Chenghuang was wearing a crescent white mopping robe standing at the door, his hair was only slightly tied with a ribbon, and there were still some beads of sweat on his neck, but his eyes were open, not like he had just woken up, and he looked extremely energetic.
"What's wrong with Zhao Meiren?" asked Mu Chenghuang with a frown.
The little palace maid who came to report the news bowed and said: "Zhao Meiren said that Ying'er's ghost came back, saying that she was killed by someone, and she must let Zhao Meiren avenge her, and ...... And not only Zhao Meiren saw it, Yang Baolin and Tang Baolin also saw it, now that Xiangye Hall is brightly lit, everyone is in danger, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight. β
Mu Chenghuang took a deep breath, she knew that what should come was always coming, but she turned her head sideways and ordered Baojuan: "Change my clothes for me, Wenzhi is not on duty tonight, so you don't need to call her to get up and comb her hair, you can tie my hair in a bun at will, and then, let's go to Xiangyetang to have a look." β...
