I don't want to run into Qi Ling galloping on a horse as soon as I leave the house.
Qi Ling couldn't wait for the horse under him to stop, and jumped directly in front of Qi Niang from the tall horse with a pull on the reins, and walked straight to the mansion with her, and said anxiously: "Su Qi, Su Qi, your murderer has been found, Bingluo brought the criminal to the Flame Division early this morning, do you know?" ”
Qi Niang was stunned, didn't Bing Luo go to the palace yesterday to report it? Wasn't the Molian Palace immediately claustrophobic? Why did Qi Ling say that he was caught by the criminal today? Also, why did the criminals end up in the Flame Division again? Concubine Mo is subordinate to the harem concubines, even if she commits a murder, it shouldn't be the Flame Division who will personally try it, what's going on?
It wasn't until he stepped into the warm pavilion of Lanting Courtyard that Qi Ling retreated from his entourage, leaned over to Su Qi's ear and said, "Do you know that the person who killed you has nothing to do with Molian Palace?" ”
"Impossible!" Qi Niang's eyes widened and she said resolutely.
The person who killed her was Mo Guifei, she had already admitted it herself, and there was also the evidence found by Bingluo and the Qiuyue girl next to Qi Ling as a witness, how could this be the case in the end?
Qi Niang asked directly: "What happened, tell me quickly!" ”
Could it be that Bingluo entered the palace yesterday and didn't report to Emperor Rende that he had been assassinated repeatedly?
Qi Niang's heart set off a huge wave!
Qi Ling said angrily: "I waited for the summons of the imperial uncle in the mansion with Qiu Yue's girl early this morning, thinking that it would be time for the witness to come forward after the night, but I didn't see this news until after breakfast. But I was in a hurry, so I took Qiu Yue directly to the palace, but I didn't want to meet Bi Fuquan's old thing as soon as I arrived at the palace gate, he directly stopped the county lord, and said: Yesterday, the Flame Si Bingluo entered the palace not to report your assassination case at all, but to say that he found evidence of Mo Guifei's fake pregnancy. As soon as I heard it, I felt that something was wrong, and I went directly to the imperial study despite the old thing's obstruction, and I happened to see the imperial grandmother discussing with the imperial uncle how to deal with Mo Guifei's fake pregnancy and competition for favor...... Then the Flame Division Ice Spirit came to report that he had caught the real murderer who had assassinated you. ”
"Do you know who that man is? It turned out to be a member of the Wuluo tribe......"
"Qi Niang, what do you say we should do? You can't just watch Mo Guifei's poisonous woman escape! ”
After Su Qi listened, he frowned and stood there for a long time without moving.
How could things be like this? The concubine and aunt in Molian Palace turned out to be just a fake pregnancy to compete for favor. It had nothing to do with her assassination. When did a Wuluo clan come out, and when did she Su Muli make a feud with the Wuluo clan?
Su Qi only felt that there were a thousand things in his head, and he couldn't grasp the slightest useful clue when he thought about it.
No, she'll have to take care of it.
First of all, Mo Guifei knew that she was miserable, so she admitted it in anger. But that's nothing. After all, she was the only one who heard it, Su Muli. In these years, there is no audio and video recording equipment, Mo Guifei's words are just confirming her conjecture for many days, and the rest is useless.
Then there was Bingluo who said that he had found the Nanren faction. It is said that it originated from a down-and-out tribe in the Nanban, and has been hidden in the area of the imperial capital, and has been hidden deeper and deeper because of the tight rumors recently, but fortunately, the brothers of the Flame Division have also caught the correspondence between the Nanren faction and the Molian Palace, and it is said that there is an order in the letter that Mo Guifei instructed the Nanren faction to continue to assassinate herself.
Qiling also has the Autumn Moon girl as a witness on his side, plus his own discovery......
At this point, there is no need to further investigate the truth, but Su Qi chose to remain silent at that time, and did not directly announce these useful evidence in front of Emperor Rende, but suppressed these stubbornly out of the thought of family affection...... It wasn't until Mo Guifei intended to threaten her grandmother's safety with her intention to make peace that she Su Qifang made up her mind......
Su Qiyi grabbed the shoulder of the county lord of Qiling and asked, "Qiling, when did you receive the news yesterday asking you to wait to bring Qiuyue into the palace?" ”
Qi Ling was stunned for a moment when asked, and after thinking about it, he said: "I just got up from my lunch break, and I received a letter from Brother Qin, saying that the Flame Division Bingluo had entered the palace, and asked me to prepare for it, I thought that the matter was very important, so I immediately called Qiu Yue in, and told the girl again, for fear that she would be timid in front of the imperial uncle and miss your big thing, Su Qi, is there anything wrong?" ”
Yesterday, Ah Qin said that he informed the Flame Division Bingluo, because he was worried that Mo Guifei would jump off the wall in a hurry and it would be unfavorable to him......
So why didn't Bingluo report the assassination?
That's the crux of the matter!
Su Qi's eyebrows lit up, and he strode towards the gate of Lanting Courtyard, and said bluntly: "Let's go, let's go to Xizhimen immediately." ”
If it is Bingluo's escape, then there must be some deep reason, although she Su Muli is not clear, but the Binglu's upright temperament was famous long before she came to the imperial capital, I heard that this is also the reason why that guy is so embarrassed in front of the old emperor Rende, since this is the case, that guy will not easily change his mind temporarily, unless something suddenly happened yesterday, and even her Su Muli was hidden......
But what can be hidden from Ah Qin in the imperial capital?
By the time Su Qi and Qi Ling hurried to Xizhimen, the sun had already run to the middle, and the white swaying hot direct light made people sweat, Qi Niang pulled Qi Ling three steps and made two steps to the inner courtyard of Xizhimen, but she didn't want to meet Shao Gong under the green bamboo in the inner courtyard.
Qi Niang was stunned, Shao Gong is the most powerful person around Ah Qin, and he has always served with him, could it be that there are other distinguished guests in Ah Qin's study this time, and he wants to instruct Shao Gong out?
Before they could ask, Shao Gong had already hurriedly rushed up to salute, and said: "The old slave is thinking about bringing a message to the county lord and the lady of the Su family, and I don't want the county lord and the lady to come, the third prince is not in the courtyard now, and he was called to the Ziyun Mountain Stream by the old emperor Mu, and the third prince instructed the old slave to send the news to the two in time before leaving, so that the county lord and the lady ran over staring at the sun, and the old slave still took a step slow." Please also ask the lord of Qiling and the lady of the Su family to forgive their sins! ”
"Brother Qin isn't in the yard?" Qi Ling asked directly, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with a bright yellow silk handkerchief, and complained: "When did the uncle and grandfather of the Mu family talk to Brother Qin like this, yesterday I didn't invite Ming'er, but I invited me today, it's time for lunch, and what did I invite Brother Qin to do?" ”
Such resentful words are estimated to be heard in the entire imperial capital, and Qi Ling dares to say it so openly.
Shao Gong half-lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "The old slave doesn't know!" ”
Qi Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Okay, okay, since the third prince is out, let's go back first!" Su Qi comforted: "The county lord of Qiling has never had lunch yet. Today, my grandmother specially ordered the small kitchen to stew Yuzhu duck soup in the morning. Why don't you go with Qi Niang to have a taste? ”
As he spoke, Su Qiyi took Qi Ling's hand and asked, half tentatively and half mentingly.
No matter how Shao Gong wins face in front of Ah Qin, in the final analysis, he is still a minion. How can there be some things that can be forced to be known by slaves?
So the county lord of Qiling returned to the palace with Qi Niang with a gloomy little face. Until the suitable Yuzhu duck soup was served. The girl's face looked better.
There was silence in the Molian Palace.
Mo Guifei sat on the golden silk soft couch of the concubine, glanced at the still magnificent palace, and laughed sadly.
Mama Xi beside her, don't turn her head and wipe her tears.
It's been a long time. Concubine Mo closed her eyes.
Xi Mama looked at the tired face under the heavy makeup, and it became more and more dull in this half-dark hall, but in a few days, the mother seemed to be more than ten years old, so can you still see the clever smile between the smiles and smiles in the past?
Xi Mama knelt down with half a short body, choked and said: "Niangniang, the old slave will not be around in the future, you must take care of yourself, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, Niangniang has always been very popular with His Majesty, and she is not afraid of the day when there is no comeback!" ”
Mo Guifei smiled bitterly, and a tear was left along the sideburns on her forehead, "In the future...... How can this palace come from now and say it in the future! ”
Xi Mama raised her head and said in a loud voice: "Yes, Niangniang will definitely have it, didn't the third prince of Murong Qin agree, this time he will definitely help Niangniang to save the day, and when the old slave of the Flame Division swears to death, he will not say that Niangniang is here, so isn't there evidence for the "ghost hand who handled the case" Bingluo?" That's just seeing the old slave, as long as the old slave wants to die, what can they do? ”
"Niangniang, the old slave looked at Murong Qin's three princes as a person who did great things, he was only afraid that he was thinking about preparing for the old case in the future, and the palace was only afraid that Niangniang and Shouren Palace's Lafayette were the clearest, the Queen Mother didn't even recognize the three princes back then, how could they reveal the things of the year, the three princes were afraid that they would only think of Niangniang when they knew that there was no way, Niangniang This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must grasp it!"
"Your Majesty cares about the old feelings, and is still obsessed with the affairs of the three ladies of our Wang family, Niangniang is the sister of the three ladies and one mother, and has been with His Majesty rain or shine for so many years, without merit and hard work, and now His Majesty is just angry for a while, and after a while, I will think of the good of the mother, and I will definitely ...... Forgive the mother for begging for a child! ”
"I hope that the mother will not be discouraged!"
At the end, Mama Xi burst into tears.
Mo Guifei also opened her eyes and let the big tears roll down......
In the middle of the night yesterday, Murong Qin suddenly brought a letter to the man in black, telling herself how to speak and act, she was still skeptical at the time, but she also knew that what he explained was all beneficial to herself, and he also said that he would invite the Wang family to say Xiang for himself, Mo Guifei didn't believe it for a while, thinking that when she favored the sixth palace, the Wang family was still cold and indifferent because she had no heirs, and now that she had suffered a fiasco, how could the Wang family still care about her own life and death, and also helped to say Xiang, how did she not know her brothers, I'm afraid that I will clean up with myself early!
However, early this morning, her mother, Mrs. Wang, was brought into the Molian Palace by Bi Fuquan, and she only knew how good Murong Qin was!
Yes, no matter how much trouble that sick man is, it is not for the fact that the Huo family collaborated with the enemy and was treason and was exterminated, such an old case, and it is something that His Majesty is deeply disgusted with, who else in the palace and outside the palace has dared to talk about this matter for so many years, such an unpopular person is afraid that no matter how hard he tried his best to do it in vain, and now he is willing to save himself. Then she Wang Yumo smoothly accepted his affection, that is, if Murong Qin turned over something in the future, he would say one or two, if he didn't have the ability and ability to turn over, then what he should do didn't happen.
She is a harem concubine, and the sick seedling is not welcomed, even if she makes trouble in the future, I am afraid that he is not her opponent.
Thinking of this, Concubine Mo Guifei breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since ancient times, there have been successes and failures, and this palace is not such a person who can't afford to lose. Since Murong Qin is willing to help the palace. This palace also knows how to take advantage of the trend, and Mama Xi can rest assured. ”
"It's just that it has affected Mama Xi......"
Speaking of this, the tears in the corners of Mo Guifei's eyes rolled up again.
Mama Xi knelt down and crawled over, grabbed the corner of Mo Guifei's gold-embroidered flowery ink pear clothes and said: "The old slave is just a slave after all, how can you say that it is even more involved." It's just the love of my mother over the years. In the next life, the old slave is willing to be a cow and a horse, and then serve the mother......"
Mo Guifei hugged Mama Xi's head and couldn't help crying......
So this is what Bi Fuquan saw when he came in.
He didn't say a word, and directly let Xi Mama drag him out. Before leaving, he took two steps closer, half-hunched and smiled: "Niangniang still asks for condolences is ......."
As he spoke, he took out a wax pill from his wide robe, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
Wait until the door of the main hall of the Molian Palace is closed again. Mo Guifei shook her hand and smashed the wax pill the size of her thumb cap and took out the note, on which was the handwriting of a pen walking like a dragon, her heart tightened, and she looked at it more and more carefully.
Of course she recognized this handwriting, and what she saw in the middle of the night yesterday was the words of Murong Qin, the sick man who had always been low-key, and it said that she would ask Concubine Mo to persuade Su Muli to assist him in thoroughly investigating the old case of the Huo family within a month!
As for how to persuade, how to say it, and when to say it, there are no requirements.
Mo Guifei didn't dare to read the note again in disbelief, and then she frowned and threw the note into the candle flame.
When Huo's old case happened, the girl was just a milk doll who had just turned one year old, she didn't know anything about it, and then something happened to be out of exile all the year round, although this big case was directly related to her father and mother, but now that people have been dead for so many years, what is the point of her Su Muli investigating the case?
What's more, whether it was General Changfeng or her mother's slut of the Wang family, she had a good reputation for bravely dedicating herself to the country, and she made Her Majesty feel guilty for so many years, and she Su Muli had no need to look through the old case at all!
How can it be compared to you Murong Qin!
Besides, if you Murong Third Prince wants to wash away the grievances of his mother and concubine and the Huo family, then take action step by step, although she Wang Yumo is not directly involved in this matter, she still knows a thing or two about the inside story, and if the situation is appropriate, she is not such a person who does not know the times!
What's the use of just talking about this Su Muli?
I really don't understand Murong Qin's style of doing things like a sick man!
But Fang Cai was the wax pill that Bi Fuquan's old thing gave her personally, and now that the claustrophobic Molian Palace was closed, Murong Qin was not only able to send a private guard to deliver a message to him in the middle of the night, but even Bi Fuquan, an old thing, was bought!
Bi Fuquan is the leading eunuch in the Dayue Palace, he still followed His Majesty when he was a prince, and he was most trusted by His Majesty among the minions, but he didn't expect it to be his Murong Qin's person!
Mo Guifei remembered one thing again, Murong Qin returned to the imperial capital with Su Muli's girl, and when she came back, she not only won the pity of the Empress Dowager because she had the courage to block the poisonous gas for the old emperor Mu, but also heard that he personally worshiped General Changfeng in Cen Zhou and became famous, although His Majesty did not say a word about this, but he also turned a blind eye to Murong Qin's return to the imperial capital!
This has not been the case in more than a decade!
Also, he Murong Qin received the love of the Shouren Palace in less than half a month after returning to the palace, and he sent his henchman to send snacks, and asked the imperial doctor to see him three times a day, and finally gave him the courtyard outside the palace to Murong Qin for a temporary stay......
As for Su Muli's girl's diagnosis and treatment of Murong Qin, not only the Queen Mother was happy to see it, but even His Majesty never had any doubts......
Thinking of this, Mo Guifei's heart tightened, and the willow eyebrows on her forehead furrowed more and more tightly.
It seems that Murong Qin's sick seedlings are not just as simple as sick seedlings!
He can let Bi Fuquan send a message to her Wang Yumo so openly today, but he is afraid that he can shake out all the things he has committed tomorrow, provided that he does not act according to his instructions!
It's just that how to convince Su Muli's little girl?
This Mo Guifei sat in the soft couch of the golden silk concubine and pondered. The old lady Wang, who got off the sedan chair, held the hands of Princess Anqing and Mrs. Wang, and hurried to Lanting Courtyard.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he sent everyone around him out, even Princess Anqing and Mrs. Wang were no exception.
For a while, Su Qi, who came out to greet him, was full of doubts.
Or Mrs. Su saw some clues, hugged Mrs. Wang, and said affectionately: "It's really inappropriate for my in-laws to come under the sun like this, your body is just better, what is there to let the people come to tell you, why bother to come here in the heat?" It's too poisonous this day. Let's hurry into the house. Why don't you hurry up and help your grandmother into the house? ”
The last sentence was said to Su Qi beside him.
Qi Niang immediately came back to her senses, hugged the other side of Mrs. Wang, and the county lord of Qiling also got out of the way and entered the door with the big guy.
With a look, Mrs. Su withdrew from the mother-in-law Wang and Mother-in-law Chensu who were serving in the house, and personally poured tea for Mrs. Wang. "This is green tea mixed with lotus leaves. The heat is too heavy. Drink some antipyretic in-laws. ”
Hearing this, Qi Niang obediently picked up the Suzhou Hangzhou silk fan and fanned it on the side.
Mrs. Wang didn't postpone it, picked up the Ru kiln powder silver cup with flowers and pears, poured a big sip of tea directly, and wiped the sweat beads by herself. Fang Cai sighed.
Old Madam Su said with a pleasant face on her face: "Don't worry, everyone is here, just talk about it slowly." ”
Old Madam Wang glanced at Su Qi, who was full of worries, and then glanced at the Qiling County Lord who was full of doubts on her side, and then sighed again.
Old Madam Su knew that whoever came was a guest, not to mention that she was such a noble Qiling county lord, not to mention that their palace could not offend this little ancestor, even Qi Niang, who was close to her, could not offend her at will.
For a while, Mrs. Su was also in trouble.
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, looking at Mrs. Wang's appearance, I am afraid that it is not a good thing!
Su Qi was anxious in her eyes, her grandmother had just come out of the palace, and as soon as she returned to the house, she went straight to Lanting Courtyard, obviously there was something important to discuss with herself, but she was afraid that it would be the matter of the Molian Palace.
Hey, at this time, her old man still took into account the presence of Qi Ling, a so-called outsider, and reluctantly hesitated to save face, she was really anxious to die!
Su Qi said directly: "Grandmother, Qi Ling is kind to Qi Niang, and the friendship is close, recently for Qi Niang's matter, Qi Ling County Lord is bothering and contributing, Yu Qi Niang has regarded her as a sister in her heart, if there is anything urgent, please ask your grandmother to speak bluntly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Ling happily continued: "That's right, Qi Niang is now the sister-in-law of the county lord, and I also ask Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Guo not to see outside." ”
Hearing this, Qi Niang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, Qi Ling's spirit is straightforward, if she is called some other boudoir lady, she really doesn't dare to say it to her face like this, although it is a good word of consolation, but as long as you think about it, how can you not taste the harm inside?
But it's good to say this, firstly, let Qi Ling have a number in his heart, and in the future, he will not talk nonsense about the rights and wrongs of the palace when he goes outside, and secondly, he will also let his grandmother and grandmother have a number in their hearts, after all, Qi Ling will often come to the palace to find her in the future, even if they encounter something ugly that is not good to publicize to the outside world, let them not guard against Qi Ling like a thief and a subordinate.
No matter how wide Qi Ling's heart is, she Su Muli doesn't want her good friend to suffer such grievances!
After saying these things, if Mrs. Wang stubbornly twisted and didn't say anything, it would really be a waste of her position as the royal lady.
Old Madam Wang stood up, and tears were already rolling down before the words came out.
"Grandmother!" Qi Niang's face was full of shock, and she immediately stood up and supported her.
Mrs. Su also comforted vigorously, "If your in-laws have anything to say, don't be in a hurry to get sick from exhaustion, what do you have to say, if Qi Niang is tired, I won't be able to spare her as the first grandmother!" ”
Old Madam Wang waved her hand again and again, but without saying a word, her knees were weak and she was about to kneel down in front of Old Madam Su.
At this moment, Qi Ling, who was sitting firmly on one side, jumped up in fright.
"In-laws, why are you going to break my old bones!" Old Madam Su quickly grabbed Old Madam Wang with her hand, and said anxiously.
Qi Niang also held on to her death, and said eagerly: "Grandmother and grandmother, you must not be like this, how can you be worthy of Qi Niang's mother in the spirit of heaven......"
didn't want to say this, Mrs. Wang directly cried "oops".
Mrs. Su and Qi Niang were supporting and wiping their tears, and they had to pour water and serve tea to comfort, and Mrs. Wang stopped after a busy time.
As soon as she took Qi Niang's hand, tears rolled down again, "Child, grandmother is sorry for you, and she has no face to face your father and mother...... Your aunt is so vicious and cruel to you...... Grandmother...... Maternal grandmother ......"
Saying this, Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and cried again.
Qi Niang's heart was like setting off a stormy wave, surprised!
It turned out that it was really my grandmother who knew about it!
What is the best thing about this? (To be continued......)
