Chapter 230: The Storm is Coming

A horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped at the door of the delicious house.

Immediately, a little servant stepped forward and put a low stool under the carriage, respectfully stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, the delicious house has arrived." ”

Cheyenne got up with a blank face and stepped on a low stool to get out of the car.

Yu Mutou stood at the door, looked out with his probe and probed his head, and was sure that no one else knew him passed by here, so he ran up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, please upstairs." ”

"Are you sure he knows the truth?" Cheyenne asked in a deep voice.

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, you will know when you see someone." Yu Mutou looked around vigilantly, and led Xia Yanjing up to the second floor and into a side room on the edge.

Mu An was lying on the table and falling asleep.

Xia Yan turned his head to look at Yu Mutou, his gaze was like a knife stabbing at Yu Mutou's body, Yu Mutou's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shook Mu An: "Mu An, wake up quickly." ”

Mu An raised his head in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "What's the matter with Brother Mu?" ”

"Mu An, did Miss Wanyue fall off the cliff by herself, or did the prince push her down?" Yu Mutou asked hurriedly.

"It was the prince who pushed her down." Mu An replied casually.

When Xia Yan heard this, he only felt blood rushing to his heart, and he stepped forward angrily and grabbed Mu An's clothes, and said angrily: "You tell me again, how did Wanyue die?" You said! ”

"Grandpa Guo is angry." Panicked, Yu Mutou hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, "He's just a subordinate, where does the master dare to speak out about the matter, at this time, it's just because the villain used hypnotic incense that he told the truth, and Grandpa Guo must not hurt him." ”

Cheyenne let go of his hand and walked out in a huff.

Mu Yunting, if you dare to harm my daughter, I am inseparable from you, and I am inseparable from your Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Yu Mutou took the opportunity to send Mu An back to Qingxin Garden.

Mu An staggered a few steps in the courtyard, then staggered to the ground and fell asleep.

When Ah Hua saw that Mu An was drunk again, he was so angry that he kicked him twice, and he didn't understand his hatred, so he simply scooped a scoop of cold water and splashed it on his face: "Let you drink enough!" ”

Peach Branch and Bi Tao were leading Ke Xin to walk around the yard, and when they saw Ah Hua splashing Mu An with cold water, Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to grab the water scoop and blamed: "Oh, you made him sick, didn't you?" ”

"Sister Bitao, you don't know, in the past two days, the prince was not at home, he ran out when he was idle, and he was drunk twice, how can there be such a person." Ah Hua was so angry that he kicked him again.

"Then you can't splash people with cold water!" Bi Tao stepped forward to help Mu An, carried him to the study, turned his head and said to Ah Hua, "Go and invite Uncle Shen He to come and let him help Mu An change his clothes, you see, his clothes are wet with you." ”

"I'm not going! He deserves to be wet in his clothes! Ah Hua raised his feet and left.

"I'd better go!" Momozhi laughed and picked up Kexin and walked to the backyard.

"It was the prince who pushed Miss Wanyue off the cliff." Mu An muttered.

"What did you say?" Bi Tao asked.

"I said it was the prince who pushed Miss Wanyue off the cliff." Mu An repeated it again.

"Mu An, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bi Tao was startled.

Mu An's body sank and fell softly.

Bi Tao had to drag him to the bed, and when Shen He hurriedly came, he retreated, thinking of what he had just said, he was suspicious for a while, so he went back to the house and quietly told Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli was anxiously waiting for Mu Yunting to come back in the house, and he was worried in his heart, and when he heard the news brought by Bi Tao, he was startled: "What? Mu An said that Xia Wanyue was killed by the prince? ”

"Young lady, Mu An did say so." Bi Tao whispered, "It is said that they spit out the truth after drinking, I'm afraid this matter is true." ”

Shen Qingli's heart couldn't help but sink.

How can it be?

Isn't Xia Wanyue Mu Yunting's sweetheart?

How could he possibly push her off a cliff......

The more she thought about it, the more cold she became, yes, when she heard that Mu Yunting liked Xia Wanyue, she felt uncomfortable, presumably every woman would feel uncomfortable when she heard about her husband's ex-girlfriend or something.

But now, I heard that this ex-girlfriend was killed by her husband.

She had mixed feelings in her heart.

There was shock, there was doubt, and more there was some unease.

Although she didn't dare to say how much she knew this man in her own family, she still felt that this person was still good after more than half a year of getting along, and she was getting better and better with herself, and she never neglected him at all.

knew that he had been on the battlefield, and knew that he had killed countless people, but if it was said that he had killed the woman he used to love, she would not believe it anyway.

Since she married him, the most rumored thing she has heard is how Mu Yunting likes Xia Wanyue, and how sad Mu Yunting has been since Xia Wanyue fell off a cliff and died, no one has ever doubted the cause of Xia Wanyue's death......

"Young lady, Mu An is in the study, you go and ask in person." Bi Tao reminded in a whisper.

Shen Qingli walked out without thinking.

Fang Yue and Fang Li also followed suit.

"You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take a look at Mu An and come out." Shen Qingli commanded.

The sisters stopped at once.

"Auntie, I want my aunt to hug me." Ke Xin shook the peach branch and said coquettishly.

"Miss Kexin, your aunt went to see Mu An, and she will be back in a while." Bi Tao frowned, took the child and hugged it for a while, and then handed it to Tao Zhi, "It's not early, you can go back to sleep with Miss Kexin!" Tonight, I'm on duty. ”

Momozhi nodded and went back to the house with Kexin in her arms.

After a while, Bi Tao saw Shen Qingli enter the house with a calm face, so she asked cautiously, "Young lady......"

"Bi Tao, remember that this matter must not be known to others again." Shen Qingli sighed and said in a low voice, "When Mu An wakes up, you let him come to see me." ”

Although she spit out the truth after drinking, she still wanted to hear what Mu An would say when she was sober.

"Yes." Bi Tao hurriedly responded, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to say, "Young lady, it's not early, you can rest early!" If the son returns, the slave will wake you up again. As he spoke, he began to lay the quilt for her.

Since Wu Lijuan lay on the bed in the inner room, Shen Qingli never went back to the inner room to sleep, but moved to the flower hall, she knew that the young lady was out of sight and out of mind.

The moonlight shone softly through the diamond-shaped window.

Cast a hazy halo in the room.

Shen Qingli was lying alone on the big kang near the window, dragging the silk quilt embroidered with the pattern of many sons and blessings, thinking about the bits and pieces of getting along with Mu Yunting in the past six months, his domineering, his bad temper, his gentleness, his thoughtfulness, and Mu An's words, she heard him say with her own ears that it was the prince who pushed Miss Wanyue off the cliff......

Mu Yunting, what kind of person are you?

After thinking about it like this for a long time, Shen Qingli fell asleep.

One night, the dream was full of Mu Yunting and Xia Wanyue, and even she dreamed that Xia Wanyue sneered at her and said Mu Yunting is a murderer, no one loves him, he is tired of me, so he even kills me, can you let you go?

Mu Yunting also came over coldly and said to her, Shen Qingli, I'm already tired of you, so you have to die too.

Then he reached out viciously and grabbed her neck......

Shen Qingli screamed, woke up sweating, sat up suddenly, only to find that he had a nightmare, and then, the door curtain was raised, and Bi Tao hurriedly walked in: "Young lady, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a dream." Shen Qingli replied with a pale face.

"Young lady, dreams are all reversed, don't be afraid." Bi Tao hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and comforted, "It's just past the ugly time, so let's sleep for a while!" The slave and maid sit here and watch over you. ”

"No, you can go back! I want to be alone for a while. Shen Qingli smiled reluctantly.

Bi Tao had to retreat.

It was hard to get through until dawn.

Bi Tao saw that Mu An had already sobered up, so she led him to see Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli asked casually, "Mu An, where did you go last night?" How do you drink so much alcohol? ”

Mu An scratched his head embarrassedly: "Young lady Hui, it was Yu Mutou who invited me to sit in the delicious house, who knew that this time I was so drunk that I was drunk in a few glasses."

Yu wood?

Shen Qingli knew that he was Mu Yunche's person, so he asked, "What did you talk about?" Who else did you meet? ”

"Didn't talk about anything? It's just a casual chat, and there is no one else, just me and Yu Mutou. Mu An continued to scratch his head, and when he saw the eyes on the other side with a little inquiry, he hurriedly promised, "Young lady, don't worry, the villain will never dare to go out to drink in the future!" I also hope that the young lady will forgive the villain this time. ”

"Mu An, let me ask you, how did Xia Wanyue die?" Shen Qingli asked suddenly.

"Young lady, why did the young lady suddenly ask this ......" Mu An was a little surprised, touched her expressionless face, and said busily, "Miss Xia, she fell off the cliff and died." ”

"Did she fall on her own?" Shen Qingli looked at him and asked.

"She fell on her own." Mu An nodded repeatedly.

"But how did you say yesterday that the prince pushed her down?" Bi Tao stepped forward and whispered, "Do you know that you will kill the son of the world like this." ”

"I, I never said that the prince pushed Miss Wanyue down!" Mu An was shocked.

"But that's what you said last night when you were drunk." Shen Qingli said coldly, "You say, which sentence should I believe you?" ”

"Young lady, the villain is wronged, and the villain is drunk and gaffes." Mu An fell to his knees in fright.

Shen Qingli looked at him coldly, and couldn't tell if what he said was true or false for a while, so he ordered: "Mu An, before the prince comes back, you are not allowed to take half a step out of Qingxin Garden, you are not allowed to see anyone, and you are not allowed to drink, you know?" ”

"The villain understands." Mu An didn't dare to come out of the ground to respond.

"Let's go down!" Shen Qingli said quietly.

"Yes." Mu An ran out in a puff of smoke.

When he went out, he almost bumped into a person, Mama Chu didn't care about scolding him, hurried into the house with her little feet, saw Shen Qingli, and said worriedly: "Young lady, Mrs. Tai entered the palace yesterday and has not come back until now, the slave and maid are very worried, and come over to talk to the young lady." ”

"Does Father know?" Hearing that the Huangfu family did not come back, Shen Qingli was also very surprised, the Queen Mother had also summoned her grandmother into the palace before, but there was no precedent for not returning all night.

Huangfu said that the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as her own kennel, and she can't sleep well anywhere.

"The Hou Ye was picked up by the people in the yamen early in the morning, and I didn't know that Mrs. Tai didn't come back, so the slave maid had to give Mrs. to Mrs., and Mrs. said that it must be the Queen Mother who had a good chat with Mrs. Tai, and forgot the time, so she stayed in the palace, so that the slave and maid should not worry." Mama Chu frowned and said, "But the slave maid feels that this matter is a little strange. Then, he stepped forward and whispered, "Second Young Madam, the palace has been unstable recently!" ”

Shen Qingli suddenly remembered what the Huangfu clan had said to her when he was leaving, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Did Mama hear something?" ”

"Second young lady, this morning, the slave maid heard from a steward in the concierge who came back from visiting relatives at home that when he came back last night, he saw the barracks on the edge of the capital crowded, and the lights were bright, as if he was transferring troops, if on weekdays, the slave maid would not take it to heart, but now is the time when the queen mother of the two palaces seized power, and the slave maid felt that this matter was very strange." Mama Chu said with a solemn face, "Right now, the prince and Mrs. Tai are not here, and the Hou Ye is not at home, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble in the house, what can I do?" ”

Shen Qingli heard Mu Yunting talk about it, saying that the barracks on the edge of the capital were the Beijing Defense Battalion, which used to be in the hands of Yan Shicheng, but now that Yan Shicheng has been dismissed, the post of Beijing Defense Admiral has fallen into the hands of Xia Yunchu, after thinking about it, he called Ah Qi and instructed: "Ah Qi, you go out and have a look, see what is going on outside, and whether there was any army entering Beijing last night!" ”

Ah Qi walked out in response.

"Bi Tao, you go to the Guogong Mansion to inquire and see what happened in the Guogong Mansion last night." Shen Qingli said again.

Bi Tao raised her legs and left.

"Young lady, what am I doing?" Ah Hua leaned up and asked.

"You, you're in charge of going around the house to see if there's any suspicious people nearby." Shen Qingli said casually.

Ah Hua looked stunned and strode out.

"Young lady, Mrs. Tai intends to let the prince leave Beijing to avoid trouble, if something really happens, presumably the prince will not come back." Mama Chu sighed, "The slave is worried that the people of the Guogong Mansion will take the opportunity to retaliate against us, but we have no power to fight back." ”

"Mama, this matter is not trivial, I will go to discuss it with my mother and see what my mother says." Shen Qingli walked out quickly.

When Su Shi heard this, he said disapprerovitically: "At present, the situation in the capital is calm, how can there be any trouble, and early this morning, I have already sent someone to meet Erlang and Wulang outside the city, if there is anything, they will naturally come back to report." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the window, and a figure hurriedly broke in, and said urgently: "Madam, the capital has been surrounded by the army, saying that no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the subordinates can't get out of the city, and they can't go out to pick up the son." ”R1152
