Chapter 42: The Assassins' Fellowship

"What?" Mo Ziyu was slightly surprised in her heart, she originally wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but she didn't expect that the fourth lady would take the initiative to talk about this topic.

"It doesn't hurt if you see it. The fourth lady's eyes were melancholy, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "That was my lover before marrying into the palace, I originally thought that we would be on our separate sides and each other, but I thought that he would become a monk." People are like duckweed, and the world makes people. ”

The fourth lady said so frankly, Mo Ziyu sighed slightly, but thinking that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary, it can still be unforgettable after so many years. It's just that now one person is another wife, and the other person is a monk and nun, which can be created, and there is nothing to be done.

"Seeking benevolence and benevolence, perhaps for him, remembering a relationship that has never faded is the best destination. Mo Ziyu said, "Since there is no turning back, the fourth lady should also look away, you still have a son, and there are days to come." ”

"I once persuaded myself to do the same, guard the world, and live this life in peace. The fourth lady had a smile on her lips, but a teardrop slowly fell down her cheek, "This matter has been hidden in my heart for ten years, and I have never told anyone about it, and for countless nights, I have also thought about whether my life would be different if I hadn't made that choice at the beginning." But over the years, I have never regretted my choice. I am alive and waiting. ”

She glanced at Mo Ziyu fixedly, lowered her eyes and smiled: "I don't know why I told you these words, maybe it's because you are very similar to her." ”

"She?"

"Everyone has a secret, and there is one biggest secret hidden in the world in this Qi Palace, and when the prince can trust you one day, he will naturally tell you this secret. The fourth lady said softly, "I hope you won't be afraid then." ”

"If you know more secrets, you may not feel good. Mo Ziyu smiled indifferently, "If the prince is willing to share with me one day, I am also willing to bear it with him." ”

The fourth lady held Mo Ziyu's hand, looked into her eyes, and said sincerely: "If it weren't for you, the prince would not be what he is now, I believe you, if one day I have any accidents, I want to entrust the prince to you." He's a poor boy, and if that happens, I hope you can take care of him. ”

"No matter what, I will do my best to protect the son, but any child needs a mother, the fourth lady don't say anything frustrating, the only one who can accompany the son of the world can only be you. Mo Ziyu held the fourth lady's hand and comforted.

The fourth lady just smiled and did not speak.

When I returned to King Qi's Mansion, the weather had already darkened, and as soon as I returned to Qiushui Yuan, Cuiping hurriedly ran and said, "Girl, you are finally back, Qian'er has an accident!"

"What's wrong?"

"Not long after the girl went out today, Qian'er was captured by the second lady's people, saying that she was an accomplice of the assassins!" Cui Ping said anxiously, "How can Qian'er be, the girl should think of a way quickly!"

"Don't be in a hurry, make things clear. Mo Ziyu said as he walked.

The second lady was investigating the assassins hidden in King Qi's mansion, and happened to find a person, who was a small servant in the outside world, who committed suicide because his identity was exposed. But someone saw that Qian'er and the little guy had laughed together two days ago, so she was arrested as a member of the party.

It's all in the palace, and those assassins hidden around them may be honest and honest in the eyes of many people, and it would be a bit arbitrary to think that they were the same party just because they joked a few words.

Since he was from Qiushui Garden, Mo Ziyu couldn't ignore it, and went directly to the second lady without taking a break.

It was not early, and the twilight was already rising, but the second lady was very lively here, with bright torches lit inside, and from time to time there were insults and screams of torture.

When I entered, I saw two corpses parked on the edge of the courtyard, covered with white cloth, but I didn't know who it was.

In the hall, the second lady was drinking tea, raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Ziyu, and sneered: "What are you doing here on this big night, I haven't seen you so attentive on weekdays!"

"I've met the second lady, I just came back from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and I heard that Qian'er from Qiushui Yuan was regarded as an assassin's accomplice, so I came to ask what was going on. ”

The second lady put down the cup in her hand without hurry, raised her eyes and said lightly, "Do you think I will wronged her?"

"No matter what, Qian'er is from Qiushui Garden, and the second lady thinks she is an accomplice of the assassins, is there any evidence?"

"Huh. The second lady sneered, "It seems that you really think that I will wronged a little maid." Just a few words of laughter can determine that a person is a fellow of the Assassins, and everyone in this palace is afraid that everyone is a fellow of the Assassins, do you think that I will torture people at will without other evidence? Come on, bring Qian'er up. ”

After a while, I saw a scarred and blood-stained Qian'er being dragged up and thrown to the ground.

As soon as Qian'er saw Mo Ziyu, she knelt down and crawled in front of her, hugged her calves and cried: "Girl, help me, help me! I am not an assassin's accomplice, girl, you must believe me!"

"Dead duck has a hard mouth!" The second lady glanced at Lily of the Valley, who was waiting on the side, and Lily of the Valley took out two red sachets and threw them on the ground.

"These two sachets, one was found on the body of the little guy called Xiao Wu, he was carrying it close to him when he died, and there is no doubt that this person is an assassin. Lily of the valley raised her chin slightly, and said rebelliously, "And this other one was found in Qian'er's room, this is obviously a couple, so it is not an exaggeration to think that Qian'er is suspected of being a member of the same party." ”

Qian'er's face turned pale, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly explained: "This sachet is indeed mine, I do have a personal relationship with Xiao Wu, I think about marrying him when I am old enough to marry him in the future, I really don't know that he is an assassin, I really don't know!"

"Even if this is not a fellow assassin, but if she does such a lewd and disorderly thing, she will never stay!" The second lady flicked her bright red nails and said coldly, Seventh Lady, if you don't come to me today, I am also going to invite you to visit, there is such a filthy thing in your yard, and you are the master even if you don't know it, you can't escape the blame. ”

With such direct evidence thrown in front of him, Mo Ziyu was speechless even if he wanted to speak for Qian'er.

"Next time, before you want to stand up for others, you have to figure things out by yourself. The second lady said coldly, "You go outside and kneel to reflect, and you can't get up until dawn." As for this, she will be killed with a rod!"
