Chapter 025: Gardenia Blooms
has to report, otherwise the king of war will definitely come to the door to ask for an explanation after he finds out, it is better to let the emperor settle the matter before he returns to Beijing.
Mu Fandi was placed under house arrest in Xianting Yuan after a simple bandage, how could Mu Che let her go, and before the matter was over, she was not allowed to go out and talk nonsense.
Eight Princes' Mansion
"Dali Temple, Yu Guiyu asks to see your lord!" With a notification, a young man in an awe-inspiring official uniform entered the front hall.
"Lord Yu, please take a seat, Xiao Yu, serve tea to adults!" Yang Huixian commanded.
"The eighth princess doesn't have to be polite, I don't know if the eighth princess is there? The lower officials have important matters to discuss. "Yu Gui Dao Ming came to me.
"Wait a minute, my lord, Xiao Yu will go and call the eighth prince for you." Xiao Yu finished serving tea, and before Yang Huixian could speak, he went to run errands.
"I'm tired." Yu Guijun smiled lightly and nodded in thanks.
"When has this girl been so positive?" Yang Huixian felt that Xiao Yu was very abnormal and asked questions.
Yu Gui's left ear moved slightly, calmly picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully, the tea in the Eight Kings Mansion is good, and it has a different taste.
After a while, Qin Zixiao came in with the county lord in his arms, and Yang Huixian hurriedly stepped forward to take it and exited the front hall.
"Gardenia, follow." Yang Huixian called Xiao Yu out as well.
The two walked through the corridor to the backyard, and Yang Huixian looked at Xiao Yu, who was in a state of mind, and quipped, "What? The heart is full of joy. ”
Xiao Yu didn't admit himself, "Princess! How can a slave like a dull scholar? You know, the slave admires a chivalrous hero like Mo Shangyu. Hurriedly explained.
Yang Huixian thought to herself, I haven't asked yet, why did I say it? However, she is not sarcastic, "It's a pity that Mo Shangyu is gone, and only dull scholars are left now." Yang Huixian pretended to be sorry and glanced at Xiao Gardenia, who opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"Princess, the slave and maid will serve you and the little prince and the little lord for a lifetime." Gardenia wants to show her loyalty.
"Then you were still courteous? This princess is a person who has come over, rest assured, this princess will not beat the mandarin ducks. Yang Huixian held high the banner of matchmaker and matched marriage.
"The princess doesn't believe in slaves?" Xiao Yu looked at Yang Huixian with sincerity in his eyes.
"Faith! It's just that you have to marry someone after all, and you have to have your own home. Yang Huixian pulled Xiao Yu, a good sister who climbed the wall with her when she was a teenager and pretended to be a man on the street.
"By the way, it's better for me to recognize you as a righteous sister, so that you are the righteous daughter of General Yang, and you can be regarded as equivalent to Lord Yu's status." Yang Huixian had an idea.
"Princess, if you don't have anything to do, you can save your worries." Xiao Yu finally couldn't help but stop the eighth princess, she had followed Yang Huixian since she was a child, and knew that her young lady was helpful in her righteousness, but now it was a shadowless thing.
It's not the first time I've seen Dali Siqing, but it's the first time I've been so close, and it's the first time I've heard him thank you.
"What do you think!"
"No, no..."
My face is red, and I still don't admit it!
vestibule
"What is the matter with Lord Yu?" Qin Zixiao sat on the upper seat and asked.
"Back to the eighth prince, the lower officials were urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor today, and the emperor ordered the lower officials and the eighth prince to jointly review the case of Mufu, which is the emperor's edict." Yu Gui presented the edict.
Qin Ziru read it carefully, his face was solemn, and the emperor gave him another problem.
Fortunately, there is a sentence in it: Thinking of the high power of the Shenwu War throne, investigate and deal with it as appropriate.
"Eighth Prince, it's so tricky now, I wonder if you and I can give a satisfactory answer to the emperor and the king of war?" Yu Gui's expression was solemn.
Qin Ziru didn't know what was going on, so he said, "I'm tired of it, please tell this king what you know about the case." ”
"Back to the eighth prince, according to the emperor's excerpt to the lower officials, Prime Minister Mu's concubine Cheng and his former friend are now the princess of the war and her sister Princess Mufu, during which the princess suddenly attacked the two, and the two of them resisted angrily when their lives were at stake.
However, according to the lower officials, Prime Minister Mu did not mention the witnesses, and the three are all parties, so it is difficult to decide which is right and which is wrong. Yu Gui analyzed.
Qin Zixiao gestured: "You might as well take a trip to the Mu Mansion." ”
Yu Gui agreed.
Mu Xiang Mansion
"The old minister greets the eighth prince and Dali Siqing, and the little girl's matter is in trouble." Mu Che greeted him with a smile.
"It's all for the imperial court, and Prime Minister Mu doesn't have to be like this." Yu Gui said politely, after all, Mu Che was a member of the prime minister.
"The little girl is now in the boudoir, please go with the old minister and let the little girl tell me the details of the day." Mu Che led the two all the way to Mu Yixiao's courtyard.
Mu Che introduced Mu Yixiao, who was bedridden behind the gauze tent.
"I've seen the Eighth Prince and Lord Dali Siqing with a smile." Mu Yixiao smiled and gave a slight salute through the gauze tent.
"Please also ask the concubine to tell me what happened that day from the beginning." Yu Gui said humbly and politely.
The sentence 'concubine' made Mu Yixiao's face stiffen, she was the widow of King Xiwu, how could it be so easy to remarry.
"Smile, say it quickly, don't be afraid." Mu Che thought that Mu Yixiao was afraid when he remembered the situation that day.
After Mu Yixiao came back to his senses, he repeated the same rhetoric he had said to Mu Che.
After listening quietly, "Concubine Xie said bluntly, if you rest, it will be inconvenient for the lower officials to disturb." After speaking, Yu Gui and Qin Zi left Mu Yixiao's former boudoir.
"Prime Minister Mu, I don't know if the princess of war is in the palace of the king of war or?" Yu Gui asked Mu Che beside him.
"No, I'm in the other garden right now." Mutcher replied.
Bescin
As soon as the three of them came in, they saw Mu Fandi sitting in front of the window with a dull expression.
Mu Fandi knew that someone had come in, but he didn't react.
"Xiaguan Yugui has seen Princess Zhan and wants to hear Princess Zhan describe the situation that day." Yu Gui broke the silence.
Mu Fandi slowly turned back to the mummy-like head wrapped in white cloth, his eyes were like ashes, and he looked like a withered tree, which really startled the three of them.
"Lord Yu, you might as well take a look at the crime scene and physical evidence." Mu Fandi opened his mouth calmly, after all, the parties are self-justifying no matter what they say, and there is no real evidence from anyone.
"My lord must be my young lady, oh no, Princess Zhan is in charge, someone claimed that Prime Minister Mu Cheng was violently ill and deceived Princess Zhan to Mu Mansion that day!" Dongmei fell to her knees and cried.
"Bold! When did you open your mouth, but you were talking nonsense! Mucher scolded.
"Wait, it's okay for Prime Minister Mu Cheng to tell her to say it, the lower officials won't listen to it at will." Yu Gui stopped Mu Che and motioned for Dongmei to get up and reply.
Dongmei got up and said in an orderly manner: "That day, the princess of Zhan didn't go back to the house in time when she needed to rest, but slept in another garden, that is, this bed, and the slave and maid were guarding the door, but suddenly a group of maids asked the slave and maid to go out to do things, and the slave and maid were worried about the safety of the young lady and refused to leave, so several people covered the slave and maid's mouth and nose and dragged the slave and maid out, and it was too late for the slave and maid to come back.
