Chapter 258: Bathing and Encountering a Snake
Liu Xu's desire to avenge his mother was strong, so his action was also extremely fast, and he soon sent people to find witnesses who might know part of the truth back then.
Mo Ziyu also believes that with his power, it is a matter of a short time to find someone who corresponds. All her energy was put into the truth of the concubine's death, but she didn't know that someone had already set a resentful eye on her.
For the ninth lady, now that the princess is infertile, the third lady has entered a state of not fighting or grabbing, then her biggest opponent is Concubine Jiang, as long as Concubine Jiang is removed, she will definitely be able to get the love of the prince. In order to remove this obstacle, she racked her brains and asked her to come up with a solution.
On the first day of the ninth lunar month, the princess took a group of people to Qingyun Temple to incense, there is a hot spring next to this Qingyun Temple, because it is next to the temple, it is famous for health care and skin care, but it is more popular with the ladies in Beijing than the Warm Spring Palace.
Legend has it that in the previous dynasty, a young lady bathed here, happened to meet the emperor of the micro-service patrol, the emperor saw that the young lady had soaked in the hot springs after the skin was like cream, and the face was slightly red, he was greatly moved, and immediately brought the young lady back to the harem, and was greatly favored.
After the incense was poured on this day, the princess suggested that a few people soak here before going back.
This Qingyun Temple directly brings the royal family or high-ranking officials and nobles, so the privacy in this is naturally very in place, basically there is a small pool in a room, each soaking their own.
Mo Ziyu was arranged in a room closest to the corner, it is said that the hot spring in this room can relax the meridians and activate the meridians, she is afraid of the cold, but it is the most suitable.
Lu Qiao and Qing Ling waited with them, because they were afraid of encountering what happened to the last time they encountered in the Warm Spring Palace, Mo Ziyu only let the two of them serve and did not let other people enter.
This spring water is really good, in fact, in the last life, Mo Ziyu came to bubble when he had something to do, and it was much more convenient to come here than to go to Warm Spring Palace.
Mo Ziyu soaked comfortably in the spring water, closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and Lu Qiao pressed her shoulder from behind, and sighed: "I don't know when this scar on Miss's shoulder will disappear?"
"Why did you disappear?" Mo Ziyu closed his eyes and smiled slightly, Liu Xu is not a heavy person, when he sees this scar every day, he will think of the things of the past, and he will only pity her more.
"The girl seems to have grown a little taller. Lu Qiao thought for a while and said, "If the girl takes a closer look at herself, she will know that you are very different now than a year ago, not only your temperament, but also your facial features are open and more beautiful." used to say that the princess was beautiful, but now looking at the girl's appearance, she is not lost to the princess. ”
As she was talking, she suddenly screamed, only to see a green snake wrapped around the hanger next to her, with a bright red tongue right now.
At this moment, Qing Ling took a step forward, grabbed the snake's tail, and slammed it to the ground, and the snake was immediately killed.
"How is it possible for a snake to enter this place?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she watched several snakes crawl in through the half-open window and through the crack in the door, and there were more and more of them, dozens of them.
Qing Ling frowned: "How can there be so many snakes?"
With her skills, these snakes can't hurt her, but what about the girl and the green girl?
At this time, the girl was bathing, and if she was seen, I was afraid that even if she was saved, she would not live.
Qing Ling's brain overflowed with cold sweat, and she was thinking quickly about countermeasures, but at this time, she saw that Mo Ziyu did not have a panicked look on her face at all, she whistled a few times, and her tone was a little strange, but she saw that all the poisonous snakes that crawled in climbed out.
It's a false alarm.
"Girl or Imperial Beast?" Qing Ling exclaimed.
"I know a little bit about it. Mo Ziyu said lightly.
Qing Ling couldn't help but look at the woman in front of her again, and felt that her understanding had been refreshed again, what else would she not have?
"Let's clean up, since someone doesn't want us to soak quietly, let's go out and have a look!" Mo Ziyu said with a faint smile.
Lu Qiao immediately served Mo Ziyu to dress, and then walked out of the small room. I just saw that there were a lot of people standing outside, all of them were frightened, and it must have been the poisonous snake that scared a lot of people when they crawled.
Seeing Mo Ziyu walking out of the house in a dignified manner, the third lady stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?" I don't know why a lot of snakes have appeared, and now the guards have gone to catch snakes. ”
Mo Ziyu smiled softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Seeing the Ninth Lady following the princess's side, she looked at Mo Ziyu carefully, only to see that she was completely clean, not like an injured appearance, and she was puzzled, angry and disappointed, what was going on, why didn't she have any problems! What was the matter with those snakes, shouldn't they bite her to death, why did they all crawl out and run around!
When she was in the countryside, she caught snakes to supplement her family, so she understood the habits of snakes, and she heard that Daji in the Shang Dynasty set up a barge to deal with people who did not deal with her, so she also wanted Concubine Jiang to taste the feeling of being bitten by ten thousand snakes. Even if Qingling is strong in martial arts, he can't save people from the snake pile.
Or Concubine Jiang wanted to call someone for help, but the guards outside were all men, if a man broke in and saw her carcass, she was afraid that she would also be killed by the Queen Mother.
In any case, it is a dead word for Concubine Jiang, but she obviously calculates well, why does Concubine Jiang still stand here in a good manner? Doesn't even those snakes bite her? Isn't she a human, a goblin, a monster?
Mrs. Nine couldn't figure it out, but her colleagues were even more wary and disgusted with Mo Ziyu, and bit her lip unwillingly.
"What's the matter!" the princess asked sharply, "why are snakes here?"
The Ninth Lady's eyes turned slightly, and she said, "These snakes seem to have come out of Concubine Jiang's house!"
The princess looked at Mo Ziyu coldly again and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Mo Ziyu blessed his body and said, "I just bathed in it, and these snakes crawled in through the window and through the crack in the door. ”
"Then why did you go out suddenly? Don't you think it's strange?" the Ninth Lady then asked, "I'm afraid that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jiang, right?"
"Yes, it does. Mo Ziyu snorted and said coldly, "Because these snakes are coming for me." But the other party seems to have underestimated me, thinking that a few snakes can help me, obviously not knowing me well enough. ”
"If these snakes are coming for you, why don't they bite you?" asked the Ninth Lady.
"If you are interested, you can ask the prince in person, and the prince knows better than anyone else. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "But if you want to suspect that this is my ghost, there is no basis at all." First of all, I can't carry so many snakes with me, right? We're all up the mountain together, and you're not stupid. I can't hide these people in the house, because this room was not chosen by me, but arranged by Qingyun Temple. ”
After a pause, Mo Ziyu said: "I think it's strange! If these snakes are really coming at me, they must have been arranged in advance, then how will she know which room I am? If the target is that room, no matter who comes to soak in it, what is the purpose of the other party?"
Mrs. Jiu's expression was a little flustered for a while: "Concubine Jiang is just arguing with reason, the snake crawled out of your house, do you still want to push it on other people?"
Mo Ziyu smiled faintly: "Then what is my purpose? just to cause chaos and scare you?"
The Ninth Lady sneered: "Then who knows!"
"It's easy to investigate this matter!" Mo Ziyu said, "First, to check the people of Qingyun Temple, whether the arrangement for me in this room was a temporary intention or was it bought a long time ago, and secondly, there are so many snakes, and they are poisonous snakes that grow in the wild, they can't be caught by one person, they must be purchased by people, there are not many snake dealers in the capital, just catch them one by one and interrogate them." ”
Mrs. Nine glanced at the princess with some fear of asking for help, and the princess immediately understood that today's concubines were all made by her, could it be that she asked herself about coming to Qingyun Temple to make incense two days ago, but at that time she knew that this idiot wanted to make trouble, and she also wanted to push it to make it happen, so she arranged it according to her wishes, and she didn't expect this idiot to arrange such a play.
However, this Concubine Jiang is really fateful, her brother was unable to kill her even if he filmed the killer, and the prince warned his brother about this matter, so that the family no longer dared to rashly attack this slut.
"This is the mountain, and some snakes, insects, rats and ants are normal!" the princess said lightly, "There is no need to argue any more, let the guards clean up, and you can clean up your own and go back first." ”
"Yes!"
Mo Ziyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Mrs. Nine, who did not dare to look at her, and hurriedly followed the princess's side.
The third lady straightened her wet hair and said lightly, "Do you think this is an accident too?"
"The princess said it was an accident. Mo Ziyu said lightly.
"It seems that this Ninth Lady can't wait. The third lady smiled faintly, "But that's fine, as long as there is a movement, she can show her feet, I'm afraid she doesn't move." But since she made a move, there is no reason to stop, and you have to be careful in case she has any tricks. ”
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Since she did it, if I was just on guard, I would have looked down on her." She doesn't have a deep background like the princess, but she dares to act rashly, in that case, why should I show mercy?"
