Chapter 234
"Liu Xianning did go to the Cold Palace after King Shijian went to the Cold Palace...... However, this is not direct evidence, which can prove that the Liu family and the King of Shijian have colluded...... "Mu Wenhan still avoided the matter of Miss Liu Qi and Liu Xianning going to save Mu Qingge this time, and said with some concern, "After all, the current power of the Liu family should not be underestimated, if you make a move against the Liu family now, in case Your Majesty does not have such thoughts, wouldn't it be easy to cause Your Majesty's dissatisfaction?" ”
Mu Wenhan was really worried that Mu Qi would do something to the Liu family, but let the Mu family get on fire. If he hadn't been very worried before, because Mu Qi had a lofty goal, he had always been steady, and he wouldn't have made a move if he wasn't sure of victory. But recently, especially after he made it clear that he wanted to marry Princess Rou'an, I don't know if Mu Qi felt that the Mu family had no successor, and he was more impulsive than when he was younger, and Mu Wenhan could clearly feel his anxiety. In such a situation, Mu Wenhan was worried that Mu Qi would make the wrong decision because of a seemingly favorable "opportunity".
When Mu Qi heard Mu Wenhan say this, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This kid is good at everything, his brain is enough, and he thinks about everything, if he is trained well, he will definitely be able to carry forward the Mu family in the future. It's a pity that he has to give up for a woman, and he doesn't even want his life. What can Mu Qi do with him? Thinking of this, my heart is a little blocked.
After enduring it for a while, Mu Qi did not respond to Mu Wenhan's worries, but asked, "So?" Qingge and they don't know the evidence of collusion between the Liu family and the King of Shijian? So, does His Majesty know about this? ”
Listen to Mu Qi ask. Mu Wenhan's heart suddenly became alarmed, Mu Qi, isn't he really moving?
Mu Wenhan's heart was crossed, and he simply said: "Your Majesty knows whether you know about this matter, it's hard to say." But I heard Qingge say that because Princess Rou'an is sick and in poor health, His Majesty seems to be intent on making Miss Liu Qi the princess, and let Miss Liu Qi marry in Shijian instead of Princess Rou'an......"
"What?" Mu Qi was shocked, the Liu family and the King of Shijian were so ambiguous. Emperor Shang Jing also planned to marry Miss Liu Qi to King Shijian. Is this an opportunity for them to rebel?
That's what Qingge said...... Someone as smart as Majesty shouldn't make a casual decision, right? He must have done this after careful consideration......" Mu Wenhan's tone became more and more affirmative, and he didn't know that he was convincing himself. Still convincing Mu Qi.
Mu Qi didn't ask any more. Silently went back.
"Why are you unhappy? Is Qingge in poor health? "When the old lady saw Mu Qi come back. With a solemn face, he hurriedly asked. Although, she knows it. Mu Qi's expression must be related to the major events of the court and politics, and it will not be Mu Qingge's problem. It's just that I don't know if Mu Qiken is willing to tell the truth, so the old lady deliberately asked.
Sure enough, Mu Qi shook his head. It seems that he is willing to tell the truth today, and sighed and said, "I just have one thing that I can't figure out." ”
"What's the matter?" The old lady asked naturally, Mu Qi said this, he must have hoped to ask.
"King Shijian came to Dajin, and he has some unclear relationship with the Liu family, but His Majesty now wants to make Miss Liu Qi a princess and marry Shijian to ...... with his relatives" Mu Qi simply summarized the whole thing.
The old lady was surprised, the king of Shijian was actually in Dajin, no wonder, I felt that the atmosphere was wrong recently.
However, what does Shang Jingdi's decision mean?
"Perhaps, after Miss Liu Qi married into Shijian, the Liu family didn't dare to act rashly?" The old lady pondered, "After all, in this way, everyone knows the relationship between the Liu family and the Shijian King, and if they have anything, they will definitely be noticed by many people." It's not so easy to think about what to do secretly. Now because it doesn't matter, everyone won't suspect it, so they won't pay attention. But when they have a straight connection, it's different. ”
Mu Qi's eyes lit up, he only thought about the collusion between the Liu family and the Shijian King. But in fact, very few people know about this news, and if it is said that the Liu family is plotting rebellion and colluding with Shijian now, not many people will believe it. Moreover, they also have no direct evidence. Then, in this case, even if you want to attack the Liu family, you can only do it secretly. But if Miss Liu Qi is married to Shijian, the Liu family will definitely not think of it, and it will definitely be different from their previous expectations, so they should not act rashly for the time being. Moreover, everyone's eyes are on the Liu family, so if the Liu family makes any moves, they won't have to worry about finding no evidence.
Sure enough, Emperor Shang Jing is a little more powerful, Mu Qi sighed in his heart, it seems that Emperor Shang Jing not only already knows the relationship between King Shijian and the Liu family, but also has a solution in his heart. Emperor Shang Jing must know everything, and he is silently manipulating behind his back. No wonder, Mu Wenhan was so afraid of interfering in this matter before. Mu Qi felt a little lost in his heart, but he was still glad that he didn't make a reckless move.
"It seems that this Mu Qingge is much more powerful than we imagined...... Mu Qi suddenly sighed at Mu Qingge's body, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, "Maybe, the future of the Mu family really depends on this little girl." ”
The old lady understood what Mu Qi meant, Mu Qingge came back from the palace just now, and he was still injured on his body, so they naturally didn't believe anything like accidentally encountering an assassin. What is the palace of the king? Assassins were so easy to sneak into? Combined with the news obtained now, it is not difficult to think that Mu Qingge's trip to the palace must have something to do with this matter. In particular, Mu Wenhan's words before, Mu Qi felt that most of them were also Mu Qingge's meaning. Because Mu Qingge gave Mu Wenhan a better understanding of the current situation, he would not let the Mu family get involved.
Emperor Shang Jing didn't even tell Mu Qi about it, but Mu Qingge knew it clearly, and it may be a very important role to participate in it. According to Emperor Shang Jing's previous temperament, he looked down on women, let alone a little girl. Now that such a big change has suddenly occurred, it can't be fully explained, is it really not simple for Mu Qingge, a little girl?
"That's a good thing, too. Qingge is always a member of the Mu family, even if she gets married in the future, she will think about her mother's family, after all, her mother's family is also her dependence...... It's just that this kid is really not easy, he has suffered so much since he was a child...... "Although the old lady has the same mind as Mu Qi, she is even softer. Thinking that the reason why Mu Qingge has become so powerful now is probably because he was bullied too much when he was young, so he had to become stronger in front of him, and his heart was always a little sour, not a taste.
The night was peaceful. But many people have sleeplessness. However, Mu Qing slept very sweetly. These days, in the cold palace, there are so many things and crises to face every day. Where do you dare to sleep with confidence and boldness? Hold on all the time. Now back home. When I was safe, I was relaxed and I really had a good night's sleep.
Open your eyes and take a look. It should be quite late. Mu Qingge looked left and right, and was about to speak, Su Mu on the side had already seen her awake, hurriedly came over, and asked, "Miss, are you awake?" Are you feeling better? What do you need? ”
"What time is it?" Mu Qingge stretched and asked.
"The hour has passed." Su Mu didn't think that Mu Qingge had been asleep for long, but he was worried about Mu Qingge's body, and immediately replied, "Is Miss going to take medicine?" ”
"Oh, I've slept for so long?" Mu Qingge muttered, in ancient times, it was indeed late enough to sleep at this time.
"It's okay, I'll wash up first, I'm a little hungry, eat first......" Mu Qingge rubbed his stomach, he hadn't eaten much yesterday, and he had been sleeping. Now the feeling of physical discomfort has disappeared for most of the time, but the hunger in my stomach has increased significantly.
"Yes, the slave will be sent over." Su Mu had already asked people to prepare breakfast, and after waiting for Mu Qingge to get up and wash, he accompanied Mu Qingge to the side hall.
When I arrived, I found that Xia and Mu Xianming were also there.
What does this do? Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and then heard Mu Xianming say: "This is the porridge that your mother made for you when she got up early in the morning, you are not in good health now, so you need to eat lighter...... I heard that you were awake, so I hurriedly sent you over......"
When Xia heard Mu Xianming say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a little at a loss. Mu Qingge looked at Yiqiē in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, which mother would be so embarrassed to boil porridge for her daughter? However, it's not bad, at least I'll make porridge for myself myself.
"It's really hard mother...... Mu Qingge smiled sweetly, "It's my favorite jujube porridge......"
"If you like it." Xia also smiled, and he could see that he was really happy. Of course, I want to make the porridge that Mu Qingge likes, and I especially asked Su Mu, this can't be wrong.
“…… But, Qingge, how are you feeling physically? How do you get out of bed? Why don't you lie back down, and your father will feed you......" Mu Xianming said again.
Mu Xianming came to feed himself? Mu Qingge's heart trembled, forget it, she was still hungry and didn't want to be tortured.
"It's not a serious injury, it's a lot better after a night's rest. Thank you, father, I can do it myself. Mu Qingge hurriedly rejected Mu Xianming's kindness.
Mu Xianming didn't force it anymore, and he didn't leave with the Xia family, so he stayed to accompany Mu Qingge to eat.
Mu Qingge saw that the two of them didn't eat, so he kept staring at himself eating, and suddenly felt Alexander. However, he was really hungry, Xia's craftsmanship was not bad, and Mu Qingge couldn't care about it so much, but he ate a lot.
Xia and Mu Xianming glanced at each other, and happiness was written on their faces.
After eating, Xia and Mu Xianming sat for a while, but they didn't have much in common with Mu Qingge. Mu Qingge had something on his mind, and he didn't deliberately look for a topic. Xia and Mu Xianming were helpless, and told Mu Qingge to rest well, and left.
"Miss, Ding Mo is here." After Xia and Mu Xianming left, the water kite came over and said to Mu Qing.
"Let him in!" Mu Qingge was in good spirits, he should have waited for Ding Mo to come over yesterday, but he was too sleepy, and he couldn't hold it and fell asleep. But for Imperial Physician He, Mu Qingge still couldn't let go, so when he heard that Ding Mo was coming, he immediately became happy.
"Miss." Ding Mo came, but instead of going through the main entrance, he came in directly through the window.
Mu Qingge shook his head helplessly, it was the same when the water kite stayed by his side to be an "undercover agent" before. Is this showing off their martial arts? Or are the people brought out by Shang Qirui like this?
"Is it good to have a door in my house?" Mu Qingge looked at Su Mu and Poria who were frightened on the side, and couldn't help but speak. Only water kites are used to seeing them. She probably does this herself a lot, and of course it's not to blame.
Ding Mo was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that the little one is disrespectful to the young lady, it's just that the Mu family ...... after all."
The second half of the sentence was stiffly held back, and Mu Qingge understood what Ding Mo meant. The current situation of the Mu family is also messy, Mu Qingyao is still staying at home, and there may be people from her and Shang Qichao everywhere. So, it's better to be careful. Ding Mo did this for fear of being discovered by Mu Qingyao and the people of the Shang Qi Dynasty. It is not good for Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui.
Mu Qingge just complained. didn't really get angry, seeing that Ding Mo was serious, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I know." You sit down first. Take your time. No hurry......"
Ding Mo also knew that Mu Qingge had never been a stingy person. It didn't seem to be really angry, and the kite signaled next to him again, it's okay. That's when I was relieved. But he didn't dare to really sit down, and replied standing up: "Last night, according to the young lady's instructions, the little one followed Master He all the way to Lord Liu's house...... This Lord Liu's house is different from what the little one thought before, it was originally just a civil official's home, and the little one thought that he could sneak in very lightly. Who knows, Lord Liu's family doesn't seem to have guards on the surface, but there are really a lot of guards in the secret, and all of them are not weak......"
In an ordinary minister's house, it is normal to raise a few caretakers, and there is no need to hide them. After all, the main duty of guarding is still guarding. If you know that you have very good guards in your house, those who have intentions generally don't dare to hit you with ideas. Therefore, guarding this kind of storage zài is actually better placed in the open. In Lord Liu's house, it's just a matter of having guards, and you have to make them secret guards, which is a bit strange. Of course, this alone doesn't tell the whole story. It's just that, combined with the previous things, it can't help but make people suspicious.
As soon as Lord He arrived at the Liu family, the Liu family didn't know what he was going to do, so he was naturally invited in immediately. It took a lot of effort for the little one to sneak in. By the time the little one found Lord Liu and Lord He, they were already arguing. The little one eavesdropped, and it was nothing more than Lord He asking Lord Liu to return Miss Chen's body to him, and Lord Liu angrily scolded Lord He for being inexplicable, saying that he had never seen any Miss Chen, and he didn't know any Miss Chen. Lord He begged Lord Liu to tell him, where King Shijian lived, Lord Liu naturally couldn't admit it, he was angry, and he immediately wanted people to arrest Lord He. Lord He was very flexible at this time, and he had already informed His Majesty that he had come to the Liu family to be an important person, and there were many people outside who saw him come to the Liu family with their own eyes. Therefore, if Lord Liu dares to do anything to him, he will definitely be discovered by His Majesty......"
Ding Mo said a lot in one breath, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Lord Liu is not popular, and there is no way to take Lord He, especially when I heard that Imperial Doctor He said that he has already sued His Majesty, if it is true, then doesn't it mean that His Majesty has already known about King Shijian?" is even more anxious and angry, but Lord Liu's city is really deep, and he can't do anything about Lord He like this. changed his face again, saying that if King Shijian really came, he would definitely try his best to find it, and dispatched all the forces of the Liu family to help Lord He find someone. I kept asking Lord He from the front where the news came from. Lord He is also a smart person, so naturally he will not say that it is the young lady who sued him. Moreover, I also know that I can't ask anything from Lord Liu. He also pretended to be moved by Lord Liu's words and said goodbye. ”
"The little one wanted to stay in the Liu family to find out how Lord Liu would inform King Shijian, but he was worried that Lord Liu would secretly attack Imperial Doctor He, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he also came out...... However, Imperial Physician He obviously also thought that if Lord Liu and King Shijian really had a relationship, then after knowing that the news of King Shijian's arrival in Dajin had been revealed, he would definitely go to send a letter to King Shijian, so Lord He turned around, and after getting rid of the people who were following him, he secretly returned to the outside of Liu's mansion, waiting to see where Lord Liu would send someone......"
Speaking of this, Ding Mo stopped, and several people who listened to him felt that he had something to say, and the water kite and Ding Mo were very familiar, so they couldn't help urging: "Then where did Lord Liu send people later?" ”
The expression on Ding Mo's face was a little complicated, and he was also a little ashamed, and said, "Later, Lord Liu sent out more than a dozen people one after another...... Go to the capital in different directions......"
"Huh?" Several people were stunned, and the water kite scolded, "What a cunning old fox, you are only one person, where can you track it?" ”
"Isn't it?" Ding Mo was also very depressed, "Although most of those people have been found, but after they arrived at the last place, they still didn't find anything, and I don't know if they didn't find a place, or if King Shijian got the news and left...... Miss, I'm sorry, little incompetent, I still haven't found the whereabouts of King Shijian......"
Speaking of this, Ding Mo is not to blame, who would have thought that Lord Liu was so cunning, and he had no manpower by his side, and it was not his fault that he was tricked. However, Ding Mo still apologized very seriously, which shows that he is a person who is willing to take responsibility.
Su Mu and Poria listened to Ding Mo's words, and they also looked at each other, there was no way to put such a scene in anyone's hands.
Mu Qingge, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "I'm curious about one thing...... You said that Lord Liu excluded more than a dozen people, and it is impossible for you to follow a dozen people at the same time, so how did you find out where most of them had gone? ”
Su Mu and Poria also looked at Ding Mo together, yes, how did Ding Mo do it. The kite is very calm, and it seems that she knows it.
Sure enough, the water kite didn't wait for Ding Mo to answer, so he said: "Miss, we have a spice that has a very unique smell, and it won't go away for a long time, and Ding Mo's nose is particularly sensitive to fragrance, so if it is used to track people, it is very useful...... Ding Mo probably used this method, right? ”
"Yes, spices." Ding Mo nodded hurriedly, not understanding why Mu Qingge asked this question.
"Oh, that's pretty good...... Are you saying that the people sent out by Lord Liu were sent out in order, not at the same time? Mu Qingge nodded and asked another question.
"That's right, there were about three groups of people sent before and after." Ding Mo thought for a moment and replied.
"So, did those people go back to Liufu before you found them? Aren't you able to track people by scent? You should be able to know if they finally returned to Liufu, right? Mu Qingge asked a strange question again.
Ding Mo thought about it for a long time this time, and finally said: "Miss, I didn't pay special attention to this question before, so I didn't go to see if they went back." However, now that I think about it, those fragrances have not moved after they have reached their purpose...... No, it's the fragrance of the first few places that the small one went to didn't move, but the later one went back to Liufu, it seems that someone should have gone back, and someone didn't go back...... But, what's wrong with this? ”
"It's not a problem...... It's just that if they arrive at their destination and the fragrance doesn't move again, it means that they haven't left after they reach their destination. If it was just to confuse people, or to inform the King of Shijian, then the King of Shijian had left, and what was the messenger still doing there? Mu Qingge's expression was still very relaxed, but the question he asked made Ding Mo's back chill.
There was already a vague answer in his heart, but Ding Mo was not sure, and asked Mu Qingge in disbelief: "Then, what does Miss mean......"
"I guess they're going to stay where they are, waiting to see who the hell is with them?" Mu Qingge said, "This can also explain why those people didn't leave where you went first, but those people have already left where you went later." Because probably they didn't expect that there was only one person who was following, so the people behind couldn't wait, thinking that no one would go, so they left first......"
"This ......" Ding Mo was dumbfounded, and there was no way to refute Mu Qingge's words.
If it is really as Mu Qingge said, it means that not only did he not find the whereabouts of King Shijian. Instead, he exposed his identity and betrayed Shang Qirui. It has long been no secret that he is Shang Qirui's personal guard, those people must know themselves, as long as they go back and talk about it, the Liu family will definitely feel that Shang Qirui is behind the scenes of Taiyi He. (To be continued......)
