Chapter 167: No Matter the Cost
"Jing Yan, there are some things that I didn't deliberately hide from you, but I can't say anything about the situation at that time."
He was referring to Mu Yuxi's identity.
"Brother Huang, my brother knows. Xiaoxi, is she really Mu Zhaoyi? ”
"Yes. I know you like her, but she is indeed my Mu Zhaoyi, Mu Zhiyuan's daughter. ”
The words came out of Quan Jingmo's mouth, and Quan Jingyan only felt that his heart was torn. He fell in love with the imperial brother's favorite concubine.
Whether it is the name Mu Yuxi or the position of Mu Zhaoyi, he is no stranger, he has not only heard that the reason why the imperial concubine Hera was beaten into the cold palace was not only because of He Xianming's plan to save the throne, but also because she provoked Mu Zhaoyi, and even the imperial sister Quan Jinxia also said that the emperor hurt her very much.
At this time, the bitterness in Quan Jingyan's heart is only known to him. Twenty-one years, I have just moved my heart to a woman all my life, but that woman is out of reach for me.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
"Jing Yan, the most important thing now is to rescue Mu Yuxi."
Quan Jingmo sensed his distraction and reminded.
"Yes. Brother Huang, could those people be the result of someone in the palace who was jealous of her? ”
Mu Yuxi was just a concubine before entering the palace, she naturally wouldn't have any deep hatred with anyone, but after entering the palace, her road was too smooth, and the relationship between women and women was actually very delicate, unless they were friends, most of them were enemies.
And the contradiction between women and women, except for some trivial things, is because of men.
"I also suspect which woman in the palace it is. Mu Yuxi made too many enemies, and I couldn't find out for a while. Besides, her departure from the palace today was specially approved by me, and no one else knew about it except her. Did you find anything unusual when you left the palace today? ”
Quan Jingmo was anxious, but just sending people to look for a needle in a haystack in the capital without a purpose. Although he can at least ensure that Mu Yuxi's life is not threatened now, he doesn't like such a passive feeling, and he desperately wants to find her.
"When we go to the market today, it's no different. But when she left the palace, she should have been recognized. ”
Kwon Kyung-yan struggled to recall.
"Who's recognized?"
Quan Jingmo felt that this clue was the key.
"After I received her at the palace gate today, I said a few words outside the palace gate. At that time, there were several palace maids not far away who looked at us and whispered. At that time, I always thought that Xiaoxi was a palace maid, and I thought that those two people were talking about Xiaoxi as a palace maid who knew Xiaoxi, so I didn't think about it deeply, so I looked at it like this. These two people must be the palace maids of other palaces. ”
Quan Jingyan is talking about Wan Liu and Cui'er, who happened to be waiting at the palace gate in the morning to get things.
"Do you know them?"
"I don't know. But I remember that one of the palace maids' clothes was the clothes of the palace maid in charge, and it should be the palace maid in charge of the concubine palace. ”
In the palace, even the palace maids are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and each palace has a palace maid in charge, and their clothes are different from others. And the position of the master also determines the position of these palace maids. The palace maid beside the queen is the highest-ranking one.
"High-ranking people."
There are only a few high-ranking concubines in the harem: the queen, the elegant concubine, and the concubine.
Quan Jingmo was the first to think of Queen Mu Xianning.
She troubled Mu Yuxi three times and twice, but every time it was self-defeating, among the three people, Mu Yuxi's most blatant confrontation was also Mu Xianning. And they are half-sisters, but the sister-in-law is not as favored as the sister-in-law in the palace now, and it is normal for the inner imbalance to want to murder.
"It should be someone from the queen's side."
Quan Jingmo almost concluded that it was Mu Xianning.
"Brother Huang."
Quan Jingyan opened his mouth with some hesitation.
"How."
"The younger brother feels that he is not the person by the queen's side. The younger brother has seen the imperial sister-in-law, and the Cui Ping next to her is very fat, so I have some impressions that the one I saw this morning does not look like her. ”
Not Cuiping?
This was a surprise to Quan Jingmo.
So. That palace maid should be Concubine Xian or Concubine Han's palace.
"Shen Xiaoxian, Soya."
Quan Jingmo repeated these two names, he actually never expected to be one of these two people.
These two people are usually peaceful, Shen Xiaoxian is virtuous, dignified and kind, and has never blushed with anyone, Soya is more like a young string, never knows how to compete for favor, and only studies food, and Na Suoya is also very willing to walk around with Mu Yuxi.
These two people, Quan Jingmo is really hard to judge.
Thinking about it. The fast horse has already driven to the gate of the palace, and this door is the door that Mu Yuxi came out of during the day.
Facing the doorman, Quan Jingmo asked:
"Which palace maid has come out today, it's two people."
The guards guarding the door strive to remember. After that, he said:
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Xian and Concubine Han's aunt in charge of the palace have all come out, and they also have someone with them."
"What time?"
"Back to the emperor, it's early in the morning."
It's hard to judge.
"Jing Yan, let you recognize them again. Can you recognize it? ”
Quan Jingmo wanted people to bring the palace maids of these two palaces over for Quan Jingyan to see.
"Brother Huang, at that time, the younger brother was chatting with Xiaoxi, but he just glanced at it, and he didn't have any impression."
Quan Jingyan was all about Mu Yuxi at that time, how could he take others seriously?
"Spread my will, arrest the palace maids in the palace of Concubine Xian and Concubine Han, and let Ku Zetao torture me for trial! Concubine Xian and Concubine Han also brought them over, and asked Ku Zetao to ask me! ”
Quan Jingmo was angry, now he was anxious, and time was even more dangerous if he took up a stick of incense, so he couldn't care about giving face for a long time, and he was not afraid of wronging good people, he simply arrested Shen Xiaoxian and Suo Ya for trial at any cost, and asked Ku Zetao, one of the ministers of Gu Ming, who was in charge of the review, to personally investigate the case.
After the order, Quan Jingmo took Quan Jingyan all the way to the downtown of the capital.
Because it was close to Chinese New Year's Eve, the market on the street was open all night, and now that it is getting dark, the farmers are resting, and more people are hanging out.
Quan Jingmo saw the crowds of people in the streets and alleys, and his already restless heart became even more irritable, and from time to time, the horses of the secret guards rode over and checked from house to house.
Quan Jingyan stopped a horse and rode one with Quan Jingmo.
"How's it going?"
Seeing the shadow come back, Quan Jingmo hurriedly asked:
"All the doors out of the capital are sealed."
"Is there any news on the Dark Guard's search?"
"Nope."
Quan Jingmo clenched his fists angrily.
"Door-to-door! The people on the street also checked one by one! ”
For the first time, Quan Jingmo had a feeling that he had more than enough heart but not enough strength. (To be continued.) )
