Chapter 40: Behind the Truth
After Su Ruoxi regarded Mu Zihan as a suspicious person, it was not difficult to analyze the matter.
Mu Zihan used her as a pawn and wanted to poison her by poisoning the spider, but was accidentally eaten by Su Yi.
If the person who was poisoned was her, then Mu Zihan could logically convict Shen Lianyue of murder.
And Mu Zihan didn't really want her to die, so he had already done something in the peach blossom cake to buy some time for the poisoned person to detoxify.
The doctor invited by Su Yao couldn't cure the poison of the spider, but Mu Zihan was different. With his power, he is afraid of a dead man, and he can save him alive.
But Mu Zihan didn't expect that the poisoned person became Su Yi, and she was grabbed by Shen Lianyue and bitten under the excuse.
Mu Zihan would never have thought that she would actually detoxify Su Yi. So after discovering that things had changed, he asked Hou Qingyun to invite him to do a scene, and then convicted him in the name of Shen Lianyue's false accusation.
This reasoning is completely reasonable, the only thing Su Ruoxi doesn't quite understand is why Mu Zihan went to such great lengths to kick Shen Lianyue out of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Su Ruoxi felt a little tightness in her chest, so she got up and left the room to go outside to breathe.
She didn't care what Mu Zihan's purpose was, anyway, Shen Lianyue had already received the retribution she deserved, although this retribution was a bit light.
It's just that the only thing that makes her feel unhappy is that she has become a pawn of Mu Zihan.
However, these were all just her conjectures, and although it was highly likely, she could not prove that her suspicions were completely correct until they were actually confirmed.
Su Ruoxi was wandering around the house alone, it was the top of the moon at the moment, and the sky was full of stars.
At the end of the corridor, there is a small courtyard in the open space, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted around the courtyard.
As soon as Su Ruoxi walked to the small courtyard, she saw a white figure drinking alone under the moonlight.
"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. Hou Qingyun really has Yaxing, and he actually drinks here alone. ”
After seeing that the figure was Hou Qingyun, Su Ruoxi walked over and sat down at the stone table.
Seeing Su Ruoxi, Hou Qingyun was not formal, raised his glass and signaled, and then stopped getting up and saluting.
"What a toast to invite Mingyue, the shadow into three people! I didn't expect the princess to be so talented, which really made Hou admire. ”
Praised by Hou Qingyun, Su Ruoxi just smiled indifferently, but did not explain.
She just saw him drinking alone here, and his back was still a little lonely, and it happened that the moonlight was good tonight, so she thought of such a sentence.
"Hou Qingyun seems to have something on his mind?"
Seeing that the smile on Hou Qingyun's face was not easy, Su Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and still asked.
"How so? On such a full moon and fragrant night, it is a blessing to have a good wine and beauty to accompany you. ”
Hou Qingyun showed an elegant smile, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
Su Ruoxi saw that this person was quite bold, and his impression of him changed a little.
She originally thought that the people who solved the case would be very strict and old-fashioned. But Hou Qingyun is different, casual and bold.
Hou Qingyun didn't admit that he had something on his mind, and Su Ruoxi didn't continue to say anything. He took a white jade wine glass from the plate on the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
Su Ruoxi didn't drink it all in one gulp, but tasted it lightly, a smile of unknown meaning floated on the corner of her mouth, and sighed: "It is indeed the full moon, the fragrance of flowers, good wine, and the beauty of people." ”
Hou Qingyun was stunned, and after realizing the meaning of Su Ruoxi's words, he couldn't help laughing.
This princess, it's kind of interesting!
"Cheers!"
Su Ruoxi touched the wine glass with Hou Qingyun, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. She shook the wine glass in her hand upside down in front of Hou Qingyun again, and there was not a drop left.
Hou Qingyun admired Su Ruoxi's pride very much, and the two quickly became acquainted, drank one cup after another, and soon drank the wine in the jug cleanly.
After a pot of wine, both of them were slightly drunk, and their speech became more unscrupulous.
"Hou Qingyun, actually...... In fact, if you don't say it, I know that you are ...... It's Mu Zihan's person. But......! I see how much you still have the ability, so ...... So, you, a friend, I would like to ...... Willing to pay! ”
Su Ruoxi supported her head with her hands, and saw that Hou Qingyun had also become hazy.
Hou Qingyun was dressed in white, and he looked very beautiful in the moonlight. His cheeks were white and smooth, with a touch of femininity.
Although she had not been in contact with Hou Qingyun for a long time, she intuitively knew that this person could be a friend.
Hou Qingyun held the wine jug and smirked, and he also looked drunk.
"Three...... The third princess, Hou's first kiss...... Feel it for yourself and know what it is...... It's called meeting and hating late! ”
"Huh...... You're smart, Shen ...... Shen Lianyue's affairs, you did a very good job. It's just that...... I don't understand one thing, although Shen Lianyue is hateful, she will not end up like this. Why does Mu Zihan ...... Why did you have to kick her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
Although Su Ruoxi was a little dizzy from drinking, she was not completely incapable of thinking.
So she wanted to take this opportunity to extract some useful information from Hou Qingyun's mouth.
Hou Qingyun understood the meaning of Su Ruoxi's words, although Shen Lianyue framed her, but she had already married into the palace, and the prince drove Shen Lianyue out of the prime minister's mansion, which did not mean anything to her.
"Haha...... Princess, you can't help but think too simply. Doesn't the princess know who Mrs. Su is? She's ...... But the sister of Uncle Guo, the relatives of the current queen's mother...... Sister ......"
Before Hou Qingyun could speak, he fell drunk and fell asleep on the stone table.
Being reminded by Hou Qingyun like this, Su Ruoxi remembered the power of Shen Lianyue's mother's family.
In this way, it seems that her conjecture is correct, and Mu Ziran's purpose of kicking Shen Lianyue out of the Prime Minister's Mansion is also obvious.
She knew that Su Yao's status was raised by the power of Shen Lianyue's mother's family, and Shen Lianyue's mother's family was the uncle and queen, so Su Yao was naturally also co-opted to become the queen's person.
Therefore, Su Yao has always been close to the crown prince, and even the marriage between Su Ruotong and Mu Ziran was proposed by the queen herself.
She could also see that there didn't seem to be much harmony between Mu Zihan and the crown prince Mu Ziran.
The source of this disharmony is that the crown prince's ability is not as good as Mu Zihan's, and he is threatened and expresses his jealousy and defense.
Moreover, it seems that Mu Zihan is more powerful than the prince, and today's events can be seen that Mu Ziran is afraid of Mu Zihan.
Mu Zihan kicked Shen Lianyue out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid it is also related to the marriage between Su Ruotong and Mu Ziran.
If she didn't guess wrong, Mu Zihan wanted to weaken the power of Su Yao and Shen Lianyue.
Since ancient times, this kind of dispute between the royal family has been indispensable, and she was quietly involved without knowing it.
Su Ruoxi crushed the jade cup in her hand, no matter how they fought for it, as long as it didn't disturb her life, she could not care.
Mu Zihan, how powerful do you really have? actually made the prince and Su Yao afraid of you, and where did your power come from?
After sorting out this relationship, Su Ruoxi only had this only question in her heart.
