Mu Qing smiled extraordinarily deeply, and his bottomless black eyes seemed to contain some kind of power that charmed people's hearts. "How can there be such a coincidence? The reason why Commander Yin was able to catch that palace maid just happened was just a play we played in front of the emperor, because Tang Beauty's palace maid Wan'er was originally my person! ”

"She's your man?!" Shen Hao's body stiffened, and her expression of disbelief looked a little hideous under the light of the candlelight. "She's always been your person? How is this possible? ”

Mu Qing said disapprerovingly: "How is it impossible? ”

Shen Zhen saw that Mu Qing was laughing heartlessly, and knew in her heart that the other party was not joking, she was telling the truth. Shen Zhenfu asked again: "If she is your person, then wouldn't you have known about Tang Meiren's conspiracy a long time ago?" ”

"Mother's mistake." Mu Qing covered his mouth and smiled, and the evil in his eyes was even worse, "Although the current Wan'er is my person, the previous Wan'er is not. Otherwise, I would have stopped Tang Meiren's actions before the incident happened, so why bother to investigate Tang Meiren and the queen's modus operandi afterwards? ”

Mu Qing's words made Shen Zhen feel more confused the more she listened, she frowned, and asked puzzledly: "You....I don't understand your words." ”

Mu Qing chuckled, "Let's put it this way, she was indeed Wan'er when Wan'er left Tang Meiren's dormitory with incriminating evidence, but she had already changed her identity when she was captured by the forbidden army. To put it bluntly, I sent someone to knock her out from the moment she secretly left the palace, and then my people pretended to be her, and colluded with my father to arrange a good route and time, so as to 'get the stolen goods'. In the end, Wan'er who entered Changyi's life to testify against Tang Meiren's crime is no longer the real Wan'er, but the person I sent to disguise herself, just to be able to play a dog-eat-dog drama in front of the emperor. ”

Shen Zhen listened to the explanation of this whole paragraph, and felt in her heart. The other Shen Zhen had already expected that the matter of the Imperial Garden was not done by the queen or Tang Meiren, but the masterpiece of Concubine Chen. But she never thought that Concubine Chen could plan so carefully and carefully, and even sent someone to install the palace maid who pretended to be Tang Meiren's side.

"I see, no wonder the palace maid in Changyili will betray Tang Meiren in a few words and testify against her crimes." Shen Zhen stared at Mu Qing tightly, and the love in her eyes didn't seem to be grateful, but asked, "So, the so-called evidence, Jin Hai is also your masterpiece?" ”

"Not bad." Mu Qing didn't hide what he had done, and said calmly, "Except for the silver, Tang Meiren has never sent anything to the eunuch Wang Yi, and she did order the palace maid to send her gold hairpin to the treasure room for cleaning, but I sent someone to steal the gold hairpin from the treasure room, and then put it in the eunuch Wang Yi's house unconsciously, so that Tang Meiren's charge of bribery and framing was confirmed." ”

"What about the real Wan'er? You killed her? Shen Hao asked.

"Of course not, she made a mistake, and naturally she has to be punished by national law. I just knocked her out and hid in a hidden place, and when the case was cleared, I would drop the bag back, anyway, it was also the forbidden army who was responsible for detaining the prisoners, and with my father here, it was not difficult to change people halfway, and now Wan'er in prison is really Wan'er, but no one will listen to what she said anymore. ”

The more Shen Zhen listened, the more frightened she felt in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was really thoughtful and terrifying.

Mu Qing saw Shen Zhen looking at him in a daze, the disdain and fear on his face were so obvious, Mu Qing lowered his head and laughed at himself, and said slowly: "Niangniang, do you think my methods are vicious? ”

Shen Hao realized that it was her own gaffe, after all, no matter what, Concubine Chen was also to help herself and her son, no matter what method she used, no matter what purpose she had, at least now she and her son have finally regained their freedom and reputation. Shen Zhen said apologetically: "I... That was not what I meant. Anyway, this time I want to thank Concubine Chen for her help, this kindness, my mother and son will never forget each other. ”

"The mother is serious. It's just that Niangniang don't think that after this incident, it will be considered a peace for all eternity, His Royal Highness the Great Prince will always be a thorn in the heart of those women who are vying for power and profit in the palace, and the queen will not give up after this heavy blow, although it will stop for a while, but she will not give up in the future. If the mother just blindly endures and guards, it is not a long-term plan, and she should still fight back when it is time to fight back. ”

Shen Zhen understood the deep meaning of Mu Qing's words, and said with a light smile: "Does Niangniang want to win me over again?" ”

"It's just a reminder, don't think so much. However, if Niangniang uses this mind to guard against me, and guards against other people in the palace in the future, I think she can be safe for a while. Mu Qing smiled, and his faint smile hid almost invisible sorrow and helplessness.

Shen Zhen lowered her head and told herself reasonably, this Concubine Chen is not a good master, and she also has a purpose in helping herself. But for some reason, looking at the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Shen Hao's heart swelled with sadness, as if there was a scarred soul under her beautiful and profound skin. Suddenly, another confusion flashed through Shen Hao's mind, and she asked again: "After the matter is over, everyone came to my Yiqian Palace to visit and ask to see, even the fake queen came, why did Concubine Chen go the other way?" ”

Mu Qing paused and said, "I have always been cold, and this is known in the palace. Moreover, if I also come to visit, it will inevitably make the queen suspicious, thinking that it is the Tang beauty who has joined forces with the two of us to bring down the queen, and I am afraid that it will make the queen resentful in the future. ”

Shen Hao's eyes locked on Mu Qing, and asked in a deep voice, "Really?" Hasn't Concubine Chen always wanted to win over my mother and son? If you deliberately make the queen mistakenly think that you and I have a personal relationship, wouldn't it be more beneficial to win us over? Niangniang is extremely smart, she can't even think of such a stake, right? ”

Mu Qing was shocked, she didn't expect the weak Shen Zhen to think of this step. Shen Hao's analysis is not wrong, if Mu Qing really wants to win over Shen Zhen's mother and son, then she will definitely deliberately pretend to be very close to Shen Zhen in front of everyone, so that the queen can misunderstand and think that the two of them have formed an alliance, which will provoke the queen's resentment towards Concubine Zhen. If Shen Hao wants to seek refuge and seek help, then she can only choose to be friends with Mu Qing, and put Shen Zhen on the cusp, so that she can't do it.

But in Mu Qing's heart, she never thought of forming an alliance with Shen Zhen. On the one hand, she is not friends with her and will not be friends in the future; On the other hand, she didn't want to involve her and Liang Xi in a complicated fight, and the reason why she deliberately deceived Shen Zhen was just to find a cover for herself to help them. So when the qiē was over, Mu Qing didn't want to take the credit, she just wanted to stand in the distance, just as if she had never participated in the qiē. But she didn't expect Shen Zhen to find clues from here, which was indeed her own negligence.

Shen Zhen saw that Mu Qing was slow to answer, and asked again: "Concubine Chen's purpose for helping us is really just to win over my mother and son?" (To be continued.) )
