After a farce, Mu Qing and Zhu Yu returned to Chenzhi Palace. Zhu Yu lightly took off the mink fur on Mu Qing's body, but Mu Qing just stood upright, his eyes wandering, thinking about what happened in the Yunyi Palace just now.

"Niangniang, what's going on today?" Zhu Yu asked worriedly, still worried about the accident that happened today.

Mu Qing walked into the candlelight with an elegant gait, and the dancing candle flame elongated and blurred her figure, with a vague sense of unreality in the beauty. Because Mu Qing had her back to Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu couldn't see her expression clearly at the moment, and she only heard her whisper: "This incident did happen suddenly, and even I was a little caught off guard." But there is no doubt about one thing, this time someone must have deliberately done something to Qin Hulian, wanting to frame Concubine Zhen's mother and son. It's just that I haven't figured out the modus operandi and specific details of the perpetrator. ”

"Who's doing it? Tang beauty? Zhu Yu guessed, after all, today's qiē is caused by Tang Meiren, if there is really someone, Tang Meiren must not be able to escape.

"It doesn't matter who gives the order, it matters! Although Tang Meiren is the one who provoked today's incident, she is not the initiator of the whole thing, I am afraid that Tang Meiren is just following orders. Mu Qing calmly analyzed, "Since the target of the attacker this time is the eldest son of the emperor, the purpose is the battle for the throne of the emperor." In this way, the scope of targeting the murderer is narrowed. ”

"The battle for succession?" Zhu Yu was stunned, and the faces of the concubines in the palace kept flashing in her mind. Emperor Liang Yinhao does not have many heirs, in addition to the emperor's eldest son Liang Xi, there are still the second prince born to Concubine De, and the eldest princess born to Concubine Han. Zhu Yu recalled that today's concubines in the palace also took the initiative to ask to see the so-called 'auspicious rui', which led to a series of later changes. Zhu Yu guessed in a low voice: "Could it be Concubine De?" ”

"There is this possibility, after all, once the eldest prince is deposed, it will be the second prince who will benefit the most." Mu Qing, "But... The relationship between Concubine De and Tang Meiren is not harmonious, and the two have pinched each other many times openly and secretly, how could Tang Meiren help Concubine De this time? Unless...."

"Unless what?" Zhu Yu asked impatiently.

Mu Qing's eyes were scorching, revealing a little unfathomable, and she said in a deep voice: "Let's not forget, Concubine De and Tang Meiren are both the queen's people." To manipulate these two pieces at the same time, who else but the queen? The queen really played a good game of chess this time! first chose an occasion where the queen mother was not present, so as not to interfere with the queen mother, and then instructed his subordinates to do things to the flowers, and Tang Meiren and De Concubine also performed extremely beautifully, and the queen did not show up in the whole thing, and it would not arouse Liang Yinhao's suspicion. ”

"But the queen has no heirs, so how can there be a fight for succession?" Zhu Yu asked, puzzled.

Mu Qing explained slowly: "She doesn't have it now, it doesn't mean she won't have it in the future." She had always hoped to conceive a child, and once she gave birth to a prince, it would be a concubine, and the biggest threat to her son's ascension to the throne would be the eldest son. Therefore, Huo's was simply ruthless, to take precautions, and to strike first. ”

"It's horrible. Such a young child, how could the queen bear to be so ruthless? Zhu Yu frowned in disgust, "Could it be that if you stay in the palace for a long time, people's hearts will become as hard as iron and stone, and as vicious as snakes and scorpions?" ”

Mu Qing turned his head to look out the window, his expression was as cold as ice, which was shocking. She said quietly: "The palace has always been like this, the battle for the throne, the battle for the throne, the battle for the throne, these are all bloody storms in all dynasties. It is said that once the success will be achieved, and our saint who stepped on the highest throne will not also have the blood of countless people in his hands?"

Mu Qingrao's profound words made Zhu Yu feel extremely sad, and she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she choked in her throat. She looked up, only to see the flickering candlelight quietly pouring beside Mu Qing, for some reason, a thick sorrow filled the air, lingering for a long time.

"The battles in the palace are intricate and unpredictable. The mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is more expensive than the mother, and they complement each other, who can say clearly. Mu Qing smiled abruptly, and there was a helplessness hidden behind his indifferent face. Originally, I thought that Queen Huo was just a jealous palace woman, and it was okay to make a small fuss, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless, she really deserves to be Huo Pei'an's daughter! ”

"That's why as the saying goes, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, and this Huo family is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Zhu Yu said angrily. She remembered the emperor's sanctimonious appearance, the insidious hidden on the peak of her eyebrows, and the calculation without a trace in the corners of her eyes, and her heart was even more angry. "But the Empress Huo is certainly hateful, but the Dog Emperor is not a good thing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the problem in this matter, but the Dog Emperor would actually believe in that 'bad omen', and put Concubine Zhen and the eldest prince under house arrest, which is simply mediocre! ”

Qing is not as indignant as Zhu Yu, after all, she has already seen the true face of the emperor and the ugliness and hypocrisy of the royal family over the years.

"It's not surprising that the royal family has always been superstitious about ghosts and gods, and the so-called Son of Heaven cares even more." Mu She said slowly, with a terrifying coldness on her face, "Even if Liang Yinhao feels that this matter is strange in his heart, he doesn't dare to gamble." Anyway, he doesn't love Concubine Zhen and the eldest prince, and would rather believe it than believe it. ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Yu asked in a low voice.

Mu Qingliu raised her eyebrows, her cold eyes touched Zhu Yu's, and she asked faintly word by word, "Do you want me to help her?" ”

Zhu Yu was furious by Mu Qing's eyes, swallowed her saliva, and asked carefully: "Niang Niang really plans to stand by and watch coldly, and let Concubine Zhen's mother and son fend for themselves?" ”

Mu Qingping looked ahead, and there was no emotion in his cold tone. Since this was the path she had chosen, she should have expected to be in today's situation. Who can blame you for choosing yourself? ”

Zhu Yu knew that her master had done it at this moment, and she should have said something more, but when she thought of the poor child, she couldn't help but open her mouth. "But what about the eldest prince? He's always innocent, right? ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Yu mention Liang Xi, Mu Qing paused, and couldn't help but move closer to the stove. After a long time, Mu Qingcai said again: "It's not that I haven't shown favor to Concubine Zhen, you saw it yourself last time, she refused so categorically, I can't help even if I help!" Besides, Liang Yinhao just put them under house arrest, and didn't want their lives, so from now on, staying in Yiqian Palace to stay away from the world's struggles, isn't this exactly what Shen Zhen wants?
