Chapter 157: Accidental Death
After saying goodbye to Soya, he was worried when he saw the ghost suddenly standing in front of him.
The ghost is the leader of the secret guard, and the hundreds of people in the secret guard themselves are very mysterious, and they have always been commanded by Quan Jingmo alone. But since the last rebellion was put down, the existence of the secret guards was already known, so it is not surprising that they occasionally appear in the palace now.
"Ghost, are you looking for me?"
Because of the day and night when he left the palace, the relationship between Mu Yuxi and the ghost was already very familiar.
"Mother, something happened."
The ghost has a blank face, and today it is especially strict.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Yuxi also felt that things were a bit strict, if it wasn't for the urgency of the incident, it wouldn't be the ghost who came to her in person.
The ghost took a step to speak, and whispered:
"Something happened to the Queen Mother, and she was implicated. Your Majesty, please take a trip. ”
What can happen? She has only been separated from the emperor for half a day, how can this happen again.
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Could it be that you quarreled with the emperor again? Splash dirty water? ”
Since the Queen Mother's scandal was learned by Quan Jingmo, they turned their eyes on it once, and Quan Jingmo even put the Queen Mother under house arrest. Later, after some time of calmness, coupled with Quan Jingmo's filial piety, he took some opportunities to improve his relationship with the Queen Mother.
"It's not. The grandmother Sun next to the Queen Mother died. The Queen Mother said that you did it. ”
"I did it?"
Mu Yuxi was a little surprised, the conscience of heaven and earth, she didn't know who Grandma Sun was.
"Grandma Sun died on the spot with your dowry, and the queen mother testified."
Dowry.
Mu Yuxi knew that Mu Xianning, the dowry when she married into the palace, must have known what it looked like, so it was not surprising that she testified, but the strange thing was that it was the appearance of the dowry.
She hates the Mu family, and never wears the dowry of the Mu family on her body, all of which she has is rewarded by the emperor.
Could it be that someone planted it?
But why do you want to move the grandmother next to the Queen Mother. Who in the palace doesn't know, that grandma must have been in the harem for a long time and is extremely respected, why is it not good to kill anyone but kill Mama to blame?
"When did Grandma Sun die?"
"Last night. This morning, the Queen Mother found that her shadow was gone, so she sent people to look around, and found at the source of the pool in the Imperial Garden, which was not frozen. Grandma Sun was thrown there. ”
Yesterday? Imperial?
Mu Yuxi suddenly realized and looked at Chun Yi who was standing aside.
"What's wrong, sis?"
Feeling the change in Mu Yuxi's eyes, the ghost hurriedly asked.
"Nothing. I'll go to the Queen Mother, you go back first. ”
Mu Yuxi hurriedly retracted his eyes and sent away the ghost.
". What is that guy looking for from you? ”
Chun Yi has never seen a ghost, so naturally he doesn't know who he is.
"Wang Chunyi, come with me."
Mu Yuxi's face was very bad, and he called Chunyi by name.
"Yes."
Chun Yi hurriedly followed Mu Yuxi to a remote place.
"You kneel for me!"
Mu Yuxi scolded loudly, and Chunyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, his face pale.
"What did you do yesterday?"
Mu Yuxi asked coldly.
"Slave, slave didn't do anything."
Chun Yi didn't dare to look at Mu Yuxi's eyes, and Mu Yuxi understood at a glance that he was empty-hearted.
"You went to meet with Xuan Lang in the Imperial Garden last night, didn't you?"
Last night, she urged the two of them to meet.
"Yes."
Mu Yuxi took a deep breath. Speak slowly:
"Grandma Sun happened to pass by the Imperial Garden and found you, Xuan Lang and you are afraid that she will expose you. Kill her, right? ”
Mu Yuxi could only think of such a reason.
Her dowry has never been worn, but she has rewarded the palace maids in the Guiyan Palace, and some of the best ones are given to Chunyi alone, and the dowries that Mu Xianning can recognize are naturally some good ones, so the evidence found by Grandma Sun's side must be the ones in Chunyi's hands.
In addition, Chun Yi really went to the Imperial Garden last night, and Mu Yuxi concluded that Grandma Sun was killed by her and Xuan Lang.
". The slave didn't mean it, grandma Sun saw the slave and the maid, and the slave begged her not to say it, but she didn't forgive. Said to tell the Empress Dowager about our affairs. Then the slave and maid said that she begged her to spare this time for the sake of being from a bitter background, and the grandmother said that she wanted some good things, and the slave and maid only had the jade hairpin that Niang Niang gave me, so she gave it to her. Who knew that she took the hairpin and took two steps back in excitement, and fell into the pool. ”
Juni sobbed, her eyes full of fear, as if she remembered something terrible.
"Then why didn't you save her!"
Mu Yu was anxious.
"At that time, everything else was frozen, and it was the source, so it was still melting. She plunged into it and disappeared, Xuan Lang wanted to go down, but the slave looked at the cold of the water and ice, and was afraid that he would be in danger, so she argued with him for a while. Later, we heard the sound of guards patrolling in the distance, so we were frightened and avoided it. ”
Junyi snorted and cried, and her whole body was trembling.
"Mother, what should the slave do. The slave didn't mean it. ”
Mu Yuxi looked at Chunyi's dejected appearance and felt that this fact was not worth it, so he asked:
"Why didn't you tell me last night, and you won't tell me today."
"The slave is afraid that Niangniang will know, and when the East Window incident happens, it will affect Niangniang."
Chunyi knows that Mu Yuxi is a good master, if she knows it, she will definitely not expose it, and she will definitely protect her shortcomings, she is afraid that when the time comes, Niangniang will do something impulsive and be affected with her.
"Hey."
Mu Yuxi rubbed his swollen eyes: In modern times, killing people to pay for their lives and repaying debts are clearly stipulated in the law, whether it is negligence or accident, it is always a human life. Although human life is not worth much in this ancient world, she is also uncomfortable in her heart.
But so what? Could it be that Chun Yi and Xuan Lang are dying?
Mu Yuxi thought of the Queen Mother's indiscretion again, and the few old grandmothers around her were even more bad ideas and scheming, so Grandma Sun should also be regarded as a wicked person.
Thinking so, Mu Yuxi decided to settle the matter for Chunyi.
"I sue you, this is the last time. If something like this happens in the future, don't blame me for not being to you. ”
"Yes."
Junyi hurriedly agreed.
"I'll go to the Queen Mother for a while, whoever asks you anything, you don't know, and you insist that the hairpin is what I wear. Neither shall thy eyes be evasive, nor shall thy heart be vain. ”
Mu Yuxi decided to take this sin on behalf of Chunyi.
"Mother, I can't help it. Don't take the blame for the slave and maid, the slave and maid are cheap, and they are not worthy of being treated like this. ”
Although Chunyi is now afraid of death, regrets and longs for time to come back, she must not watch her mother take her sins.
"You do whatever I say! Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”
Mu Yuxi comforted her, and took Chunyi to the queen mother's palace. (To be continued.) )
