Chapter 5: The Beginnings
Nights.
Compared with the dead silence in the palace, there is life outside the palace.
Yun Ruonan found a tavern in the city to rest for the night, then got up and went to the pawnshop to sell the jewelry and exchange it for some silver.
Now that she was out of the palace, she had to think carefully about the next path.
When she was a child, her brother had a year of exchange and study in Cangming country, and had a good relationship with the sick youngest son, which was a coastal country, maybe she could go there to settle down, and there might be news of her brother.
It's also strange to say that when he and Mu Yang went to the border to suppress it back then, only Mu Yang came back, and he never saw Yun Cheng again, and there was no information about him after that.
Could it be that when he went to the border with Mu Yang, he was killed by Mu Yang?
No, they have such a good relationship, how is it possible?
But how could it not be? He was able to ruthlessly destroy her clan and lead troops to rebel.
And last night, the words that Mu Yang said to himself lingered in his mind.
She wanted to believe it, but how dare she believe it with thousands of lives.
What's more, how credible is his words from such an ambitious person who can kill his brother for the sake of the throne?
Yun Ruonan came to the noodle restaurant, because he was worried that there were acquaintances in the city, so he went to an inconspicuous corner, ordered a bowl of noodles casually, and when he was waiting for noodles, he heard a guest gossiping next to him.
She wasn't a gossip person, but the thing they gossip about was the palace thing, so she eavesdropped.
"Have you heard, the queen's bedroom in the palace caught fire last night!"
"Ah, what's going on, how do you know."
"A friend of mine is working in the palace, don't you know, the emperor rushed into the fire to save the queen without getting his clothes neatly dressed......" The man looked sorry, "It's a pity." ”
"Why is there no movement in the city for such a big thing?"
"The emperor is shut, after all, the queen died in the fire." The man whispered, "I heard that the emperor stayed by the side all night and didn't come out." ”
"It is said that the emperor is ruthless, how do I think the emperor cares about this queen?"
"You are stupid, this queen is just in vain, don't you know, she is the queen of the previous dynasty, now the emperor cares about her just to lure the previous emperor out, and now that the queen is dead, there is no connection to the emperor of the previous dynasty, who doesn't know that this throne is usurped."
"Shhhhh
“……”
A few people were eating noodles, and suddenly a female voice came out and startled them, "What do you say, the palace is on fire?" ”
Yun Ruonan propped his hands on the table, staring closely at the person who said that he was on fire, and the person was really taken aback by this, "Yes, yes, it's true." ”
"What do you say is the Queen?"
"The imperial doctors are helpless, what do you say?" The man replied, looked at her, saw that she was young, and said, "Girl, do you know the queen?" I advise you, if you are a person from the previous dynasty, don't step on this troubled water, the emperor is very merciless to the people of the previous dynasty. ”
"Do you know who set the fire?" Yun Ruonan asked.
"I don't know, there's been no movement yet."
"Thank you." Yun Ruonan tugged at the corners of her mouth and returned to her seat in despair.
Heyun Hall is on fire, and the queen is buried in the fire, isn't that ...... Xiao Cui ......
For a while, a sense of self-blame suddenly arose, she was still so young, she was the first person she saw when she came to the palace, why was it so sudden......
Behind this, it seems that someone has murderous intentions towards herself, Mu Yang will not, after all, she is still a useful chess piece in his hands, but besides Mu Yang, who else will it be.
A person came to mind, in this palace, she asked herself that she had not offended anyone, and if she had offended, there was only one person over there.
Mu Yang's genuine wife, An Hejun, was the princess when he was still the prince, and this time because of her appearance, she took away the position of queen that belonged to her.
Is it really An Hejun? But she wouldn't be so bold to do such a stupid thing under Mu Yang's nose.
Palace.
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The man sat on the edge of the collapse in a daze, holding the peach blossom hairpin taken off the woman's head in his hand, gently stroking it, and looked at the woman who had long since lost her breath, her face was blurry and she couldn't see clearly, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.
What a woman she loves beauty, but she couldn't give her a beautiful face at the last moment.
Mu Yang held her hand, "Brother Yang still hasn't been able to keep you, he hasn't been able to do it before, and he hasn't ...... now."
Holding the woman's hand and gently wiping it with a towel, he finally found that something was wrong.
He pinched and looked at it repeatedly, and the palm of his hand ...... Somewhat rough.
Yun Ruonan was born as a royal princess, the beloved baby of the Phoenix Kingdom, and later married to the queen of the country.
But almost half of the man's face had been burned by the fire, and he couldn't see it at all.
At this time, Li Zhen happened to come over, "Your Majesty, some suspicious people were found before the fire last night. ”
Mu Yang came back to his senses and put the woman's hand down, "Let's hear it." ”
"Someone saw that the queen's personal maid Xiaocui had gone in before last night, and then sneakily went to the stables," Li Zhen said.
Mu Yang pondered for a while, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Look which door she went to." ”
"Yes." Li Zhen responded, and said, "There is another one who is a sweeping servant of Heyun Palace, and he also sneaked into the hall after Xiao Cui left. ”
"Minions?" Mu Yang frowned, "Have you been to the palace?" ”
"Yes, someone has seen it."
"Bring him to me."
After a while, several people dragged out the corpse of a slave from the Heart Cultivation Palace, with blood all over the ground, and a smell of blood, which made people close their noses.
Luan Yin Temple.
An Hejun was enjoying the flowers and watering in the backyard, and he seemed to be in a good mood, and the personal maid came over and called, "Niangniang." ”
"How's it going?" An Hejun asked.
The maid was overjoyed, "Although the slave was brought over, he just drew his sword and committed suicide, and the slave listened outside the door, and he didn't say a word about us." ”
"A minion, does he dare to say?" The corners of An Hejun's lips hooked, "By the way, the things promised to him have also been arranged." ”
"Niangniang is really kind, and she helped him raise her whole family, and it is worth losing her life for Niangniang."
An Hejun smiled, and his mood was even better.
