When the day arrives in the wax moon, it becomes even colder, and there are snowflakes floating in the sky, like the white feathers scattered by the fairy of the heavenly court, falling into the mortal world, continuous and silent. Because Mu Qing was afraid of the cold, several carbon braziers were placed in the entire Chenzhi Palace, and there was a warmth from the main hall to the inner room, and the ice and snow outside were like two worlds.

Counting the next few days, Ruiwang Liang Yinhuan has been grounded in the mansion for almost a month, and Mu Qing has had a moment of respite in the past month, these **** have rested quite well, and she takes the pills given to her by Qiu Feng on time every day, so her complexion and spirit have also improved.

Mu Qingzheng was leisurely looking at some idle books, and then Zhu Yu walked in softly, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, the people from the inner prison are here, saying that they have brought some mink fur that has been newly made this year, so I sent a batch here to choose from you first." ”

Mu Qing was still concentrating on the book, and he didn't even raise his head, but just sent it away: "I already have a lot of big food here, you go back to Grandpa Xu, you don't need to add it to me." ”

"Let's take a look, there must be something you want in it!" Zhu Yu said word by word, as if there was something in the words.

Mu Qing was slightly stunned, stared at Zhu Yu's serious expression for a long time, and then said slowly: "Call someone in." ”

After a while, one of the fathers-in-law of the inner chamberlain walked into the hall with several mink furs in his hand. Mu Qing seemed to touch the big coat in the little eunuch's hand casually, and said in a good time: "Well, the materials are not bad, let's pick one in this palace, it's not in vain for you to go so troublesome!" ”

The 'little eunuch' was shocked, and then looked up at Mu Qing with no fear in his eyes. This 'eunuch' who sent Dayu was Tong Yuan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who came in disguise.

Mu Qing didn't have a different color on his face, but smiled coquettishly, "Master Tong, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

Tong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Mu Qing, he didn't salute, but asked in a deep voice: "Niangniang has already recognized Weichen?" ”

Mu Qing laughed and said, "Master Tong is not a young man anymore, it is really not easy to pretend to be a little eunuch." ”

"Weichen has listened to Niangniang's words and told Huo Xiang everything that should be said, Niangniang, you yourself know. Why is the mother so rebellious? Still refuse to let go of Youruo?! Tong Yuan gritted her teeth and said, if it weren't for Mu Qing's understanding that Tong Yuan was a timid and fearful nature, she would really think that he would rush up and bite her next moment.

Tong Yuan risked his danger again today and entered the palace privately, for the sake of his precious heart, like a girl. After he ransomed Youruo from the smoke and rain building a few days ago, he placed the beauty in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Yesterday, he went to visit Youruo in the courtyard as usual, but in the middle of the night, Youruo suddenly had abdominal pain, and the whole person turned pale in pain and curled up in a ball. Tong Yuan took pity on the fragrance and jade, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite the best doctor in the capital. After the doctor finished his pulse, he only said one sentence: Madame, this is a sign of poisonous gas attacking the heart, if there is no antidote, I am afraid that time is running out.

Poisoning?! How can a good person be poisoned?

When Tong Yuan heard the doctor say this, he immediately panicked and lost his direction, and his soul seemed to have lost half of it. He pondered repeatedly whether there was anything unusual in the past few days, and said in his heart: If you have been with you for the past two days, is it with someone who took advantage of your unpreparedness to secretly kill you? Could it be the evil woman in her own family? It's impossible, it's okay for the mother-in-law to scold people and smash things, but she definitely doesn't have such a deep scheming as poisoning people. Could it be that Huo Xiang found out that he deliberately deceived him at the beginning? No, Huo Pei'an didn't know about Youruo's existence, he wouldn't have found it here. When Tong Yuan was in despair and grief, a thought suddenly crossed his mind: Concubine Chen! In addition to the Yanyu Building and the other courtyard during this time, the only place that Youruo has been to is Chenzhi Palace. Youruo has just returned from the palace for less than a month, and when such a time occurs, Concubine Chen's suspicion can be said to be the greatest.

In order to find an antidote for Youruo, Tong Yuan thought of a way to blend into the palace again the next day

Mu Qing deliberately showed surprise on his face, covered his mouth and said, "What are you talking about?" On the day the adults went back, the palace had already ordered someone to send the girl back to the Yanyu Building. Could it be that something happened to the girl? No, I heard that the adults have taken people out of the Yanyu Building, and the girl should be there now! How did you come to the main palace to ask for someone? ”

Mu Qing's words made Tong Yuan confirm his suspicion of her, if she hadn't done something to Youruo earlier, how could she have sent someone to keep an eye on her every move afterwards? Tong Yuan glared at Concubine Chen viciously, but the only one who could save Youruo at this time was Concubine Chen, Tong Yuan kept warning himself in his heart: Don't be impulsive, you must calm down, so that he can have a chance to negotiate, and Youruo can be rescued.

"Why should Niangniang play dumb riddles with Weichen? Niangniang brought Youruo into the palace a few days ago, didn't you take the opportunity to poison and murder Youruo at that time? ”

Mu Qing did not admit or deny it, but asked rhetorically: "Is it?" Why are you so sure? ”

Tong Yuan stepped forward slowly and sneered: "Niangniang already knew that the ministers would come to you, so why pretend to be here and be hypocritical?" ”

Mu Qing smiled evilly, "Bengong did know that you would come to Bengong, but I didn't expect Master Tong's hands and feet to be so fast." ”

Tong Yuan stood opposite Mu Qing fixedly, looking at her intently, his red eyes seemed to be dripping blood. After a long time, he suddenly shouted excitedly: "If you have no grievances with your mother, why do you want to harm such an innocent woman who is powerless?!" ”

"It's funny what Master Tong said, is it the first year for you to become an official in the court?" Mu Qingge smiled, his eyes filled with a fierce cold light, "In this world, people are divided into two kinds, not innocent and guilty, but those who can be used and those who can't, adults, you should be glad that you are still somewhat useful." ”

Tong Yuan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "It's good that Niangniang has something to do with me, why do you want to implicate Youruo?" ”

At this time, Mu Qing no longer accompanied Tong Yuan to play a roundabout game, and said bluntly: "I have no choice but to attack Youruo girl, it is not my intention, everyone is a woman, and I don't want to see no one die!" ”

Tong Yuan secretly thought in his heart: Yes! In the final analysis, Youruo's life is useless to Concubine Chen, the reason why she attacked Youruo is nothing more than because she knows her relationship with Youruo, so she wants to use Youruo to threaten herself, as long as she smooths out this woman's hair, Youruo's life can be saved temporarily.

After Tong Yuan sorted out such a stake, his originally excited and panicked feelings eased a little. He took a deep breath and begged for mercy: "I beg Niangniang to spare your life, save her, Weichen begs Niangniang." ”

"I think the adults may be mistaken, the person who can save the girl is the adult, you are right!"
