Chapter 422: Death is still quibbling
Following.
When Mu Xiyue woke up, there were already palace maids waiting outside, looking at the height of the sun outside, it was not early.
This night, although it is not a familiar place, Mu Xiyue sleeps very steadily, and sometimes, one thing is unraveled, and it is not only in the heart that relaxes.
"Lord Xiyue, have the slaves come in to serve you in your makeup?"
There was a grandmother's voice outside the door, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the old lady of Pingyang Wangfu helped her ask for the title of a county lord before, and now it seems that it has been implemented.
A warmth welled up in her heart, and the expression on Mu Xiyue's face softened slightly.
"Come in!"
Mu Xiyue retracted her thoughts, answered lightly, and then the door opened, and several grandmothers and palace maids came in with things for washing.
Different from the things used at home, the degree of distribution given by Concubine Duan is excellent, looking at the respectful attitude of everyone, Mu Xiyue's heart welled up with emotion.
"Mama Chang, is my sister up?"
Mu Xiyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, asked casually, the expression on her face changed slightly, from today on, she no longer has to wear a veil to worry about being seen.
"Back to the county lord of Xiyue, the county lord of Xiyan has gone to the Changqing Palace."
Mama Chang pinned a golden carving hollow peach blossom hairpin in Mu Xiyue's hair, and her face was expressionless as usual, but her words were extremely respectful.
Cherish the face of the county lord?
Concubine Duan said before that she wanted to ask for the title of a county lord for Mu Xiyan, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, perhaps, because of yesterday's incident?
Mu Xiyue thought in her heart, the morning washing had been completed, looking at her new self in the bronze mirror, Mu Xiyue's expression changed in her eyes, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
followed Mama Chang to Changqing Palace, and when Mu Xiyue entered, everyone had already arrived, even Mo Yichen and the six princes.
"You can really sleep!"
The sixth prince has never been unfamiliar with Mu Xiyue, watching her come in, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, although she was picky, but she couldn't help but smile on her face.
Not to mention, this ugly girl has changed her appearance now, and with the temperament of her body, she is really beautiful and makes people a little reluctant to take her eyes off, but Mo Yichen is by her side, and she doesn't dare to stay on her face longer.
Mu Xiyue was about to say goodbye to Concubine Duan, but the voice of the sixth prince came from her ears coldly, her face froze, she raised her eyelids and glared at him, but before she could speak, Mo Yichen's voice came from her ears, which made her face a little darker.
"I'm used to it, do you have an opinion?"
Mo Yichen still had no expression on his face, and when he said a word, everyone else changed their faces, but he didn't change much, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
Mu Xiyue was just about to say goodbye to Concubine Duan, but she was coldly frightened by Mo Yichen's words, almost bit her tongue, turned her face to the light smile on Mo Yijian's face, and threw him a roll of the eyes.
"No, absolutely not!" The sixth prince turned his face to look at Mo Yijian, with an exaggerated look of fear on his face, and after finishing a sentence, he muttered in a low voice: "If you have an opinion, you don't dare to say it!" ”
"Rui'er, she is your future cousin-in-law, why is there no rules like this!"
Concubine Duan looked at Mo Yichen and Mu Xiyue like this, and she was happy in her heart, although she was reprimanding the six princes, she had a smile on her face.
"It's not like you haven't been married yet! Didn't you say that both of them were your daughters before they got married? Since she is a daughter, she is the sister of Erchen, and Erchen and Xiaoqi also talk like this! ”
The sixth prince was reasonable, and looked towards the seventh princess between words, but who knew that the seventh princess didn't dump him at all, turned her head and pretended not to hear.
No one responded, the corners of the six princes' lips twitched, with a little embarrassment on his face, looking at Mu Xiyue next to him and blinking, his face sank, and he was about to say something more, when he felt Mo Yijian's glance at him, his heart trembled, and he didn't say anything more.
Concubine Duan took the tea handed over by Mu Xiyan, and watched a few children playing on the side, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips hooked up a faint smile.
"Auntie, I'll take the two of them to Xingsi Mansion later."
Mo Yichen watched everyone make enough noise, and Mu Xiyue seemed to be a little sober, so he got down to business.
"Well, I brought everything I needed, and Rui'er followed."
Concubine Duan put down the cup in her hand, her face was a little more solemn, her eyes looked at Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan, her eyes flashed, and the words behind her did not come out.
After breakfast, everyone said goodbye to Concubine Duan and set off for Xingsi Mansion.
In the carriage, Mu Xiyan was still a little nervous, and only held Mu Xiyue's hand tightly along the way, without speaking.
"Don't be afraid, although I heard that this Song Xinran is crazy, but with me and Cousin Zhen, I will definitely protect you!"
The sixth prince is a person who can see clearly, even if he knows what happened to Mu Xiyan before, he is not like the seventh princess, he is not dissatisfied, both of them are the biological flesh and blood of the lord of Lijun, now that the misunderstanding has been solved, there is no difference, of course, there is more contact with Mu Xiyue, and the way of getting along is also different.
Mu Xi's face was stunned, looking at the gentleness on the face of the sixth prince, a warmth welled up in his heart, pursed his lips with a shallow smile, and whispered "thank you".
After recognizing Mu Xiyue, Mu Xiyan realized that there is not only a relationship of interests between people, the envy of her in the past was only interests and materials, and now she really envies the kindness of others to her, and now, she is just envious, not jealous, because she also wants the feelings that are exchanged for sincerity.
Mo Yichen's eyes fell on Mu Xiyan's face, the expression in his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself in his heart, but he didn't speak.
The carriage galloped quickly, and after a while, they arrived at Xingsi Mansion, and the guards arranged by Master Cui to greet them at the door led them directly to the lobby.
Everything is almost ready, and this big case about thirteen years ago has officially started to be tried.
Mu Xiyue didn't care about all the preparations before the trial, when the guards dragged Mrs. Su into the lobby, the hatred hidden in her heart burst out in an all-round way, and suddenly her palms warmed, and she looked up at Mo Yichen's concerned gaze, and her heart sank slightly.
After last night's tossing, Mrs. Su has no human appearance, her messy hair is covered with weeds, like a chicken nest squatting on her head, a white dress can no longer see the color, except for the dirt is bloodstains, the red and swollen face has grown like a pig's head, the mud blood on the face will paste the whole face, making it almost impossible to tell who it is, the blood flowing from the corners of her lips, I don't know if it was she vomited herself, or the blood of Su Qianmu sticky, in short, at first glance, it looks like a demon who has been subdued, and there is a low roar in his throat from time to time.
Mu Xiyan was taken aback, and suddenly retreated two steps back, but fortunately, the sixth prince supported her, so that she would not fall.
"Don't be afraid!"
The sixth prince helped Mu Xiyan, reached out and patted her shoulder, looking at her nervousness, it seemed a little unbearable, after all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, if it was Xiao Qi, she would probably jump up and pounce on herself in fright!
The temperature of the palms of the six princes came from her shoulders, Mu Xiyan was a little calmer in her heart, and said "thank you" to the six princes shallowly, and returned to Mu Xiyue's side.
Mu Xiyue didn't have time to hold her just now, she thought she would fall, but when she saw the sixth prince holding her, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed Mu Xiyan's hand, and never let go.
"Song, you are guilty!"
Above the lobby, the emperor glanced at Mrs. Su below with a cold face, looking at her appearance, thinking about the prince's return last night, the fire in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.
"Concubine, nothing has been done! Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged! ”
Mrs. Su raised her head and glanced at the emperor in the hall, her face showed a little grievance, and her voice was a little hoarse, but she still held her breath and made people sound very confident.
Hold on to it, they have no evidence, and there is no way to take themselves!
"Bastard!"
The emperor's eyes widened, and there was a little coldness on his face that had just eased: "The fire in Mufu thirteen years ago, is it you!" ”
Hearing the emperor's "Mu Mansion" Mrs. Su's little fingers couldn't help but tremble, but the sleeves were blocked, and no one saw it, with a painful and sad expression on her face, but with the current makeup, she was a little more evil out of thin air.
"Your Majesty, the concubine just knew that when the Mufu was on fire, she took the two children out and raised them privately, this fire was not put by the concubine, please call the shots!"
Mrs. Su cried and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Come on, bring people up!"
Seeing Mrs. Su gritting her teeth like this, the emperor seemed to have no patience, and asked someone to bring the latter's mother, the fourth aunt and Huan Bi in the outer hall together.
"Oh, Your Majesty, the old slave is really wronged!"
Guan Mom is still the same, as soon as the person came in, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Compared with Mother Guan, the fourth aunt and Huan Bi were much calmer, and when Mrs. Su stretched out her hand, she slowly knelt down and saluted, and no one asked, so she didn't speak.
Mrs. Su didn't know that there was a Guan mother in the middle of the bean to help deliver the package, and when she saw Guan Ma come in, she couldn't help but have a little doubt on her face, and she began to have a bad premonition in her heart.
"Mom, you will tell you about the situation of the day again!"
The emperor forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, looked at Guan Mother with deep and powerful eyes, and even his voice couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
Mother Guan was stunned for a moment, looking at the look on the emperor's face, her heart couldn't help trembling, she thought carefully about what she said yesterday, sorted out her thoughts a little, and then spoke.
"That day, the slave maid took a package from Douzi's hand, saying that it was for the fourth aunt to be handed over to the general's mansion, and when the old slave gave the package to the fourth aunt, he felt that the package was ...... Child! ”
As she spoke, Mother Guan turned her head to look at the fourth aunt, and saw that the expression on the fourth aunt's face had not changed, and her eyes flashed, bringing out a little uneasiness.
"Your Majesty, the child was brought out by us when there was a fire that day, but this fire has nothing to do with the concubine!"
Mrs. Su followed her mother's words, and said, the uneasiness that she had brought out a little just now calmed down, and she admitted that it was not a sin about the child.
"Humph!"
The emperor snorted coldly and looked at Guan's mother, and asked, "Do you remember when the fire was that day?" ”
Hearing the emperor's question, Guan's mother's face paused slightly, and she hurriedly replied: "The slave maid can't remember clearly, I only heard that the general's mansion was on fire after I took the child to the fourth aunt and went back, as for when, the slave maid is not easy to say." ”
In a word, Mrs. Su's whole body couldn't help but shudder, and her face, which was still bloody, instantly turned pale, and the fact was blocked by filth and made it impossible to see.
"The child was sent to the General's Mansion before it caught fire, Song, you really know how to calculate!"
The emperor's cold voice poured into Mrs. Su's ears, making her suddenly agitated, and a cold sweat broke out on her back in an instant.
