Chapter 57: Returning Innocence
It's really embarrassing! Seeing Bai Hibiscus like this, Man Ge outside the door couldn't figure out the situation, the princess was sick again?
Bai Hibiscus sat at the table in the room, frowning, was she too prickly? Without knowing who it was, he just called the secret guard to come out, and there were still people in the courtyard, how could he come out!
Besides, I don't know if there is any. Why don't you have a prank? Thinking of this, the corners of Bai Hibiscus smiled evilly and shouted, "Help! Killed! ”
Outside the door, Mange rushed into the room when she heard the sound, but Bai Hibiscus hid behind the door, and quickly closed the door when Mange turned around, and immediately gave her a silent gesture.
Seeing that Bai Hibiscus was fine, Mange frowned, "Princess, what are you doing?" ”
"Mange, hurry up and shout for help with me, I'll explain to you later, quick!" Bai Hibiscus urged.
As soon as the voice of help fell, "Bang! The door to the room was kicked open, "Jin'er! ”
Mu Junnian's figure appeared in front of Bai Junnian, Bai Hibiscus was stunned for a few seconds, and his body was tightly held in Mu Junnian's arms. She felt his trembling, and she just wanted to see if there was a secret guard by her side, how to try him out.
Mange has been with Bai Hibiscus for so long, if she still doesn't know what's going on, then she, a slave, simply don't stay by Bai Hibiscus's side, and quietly leave the room.
There were only two people left in the room, Bai Hibiscus and Mu Junnian, Bai Hibiscus smiled and patted Mu Junnian's back, "I want to see if there is a secret guard around me, I want him to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion to find evidence to prove my innocence, it's okay." ”
In fact, Mu Junnian also loves Bai Hibiscus too much, so he forgot that this was in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, not to mention that she was protected by the dark blue, and when she came back from a trip, she heard Bai Hibiscus's help, thinking that something was wrong, and she didn't care about anything, just wanted to see Bai Hibiscus safe and sound.
Feeling the comfort of the person in his arms, Mu Junnian let go of her and sat at the table, hugged her on his lap and sat down, knocking her forehead as if punishing, Bai Hibiscus sighed, and deliberately covered her forehead, "It hurts." ”
In fact, Mu Junnian didn't use any strength at all, but just symbolically touched it, Bai Hibiscus knew that he felt sorry for her, so she naturally had to be hypocritical in order for her to escape the small punishment of the prank for a while.
Knowing that Bai Hibiscus did it on purpose, Mu Junnian still reached out and rubbed her forehead, "There are secret guards by your side, knowing that you are always in danger, especially after marrying me, I can't always be by your side to protect you, so I arranged the blue by your side, and he will protect you in case of danger." ”
Bai Hibiscus leaned on Mu Junnian's arms as usual, the happiness in her eyes overflowed, and she nodded, "Then according to what you say, can I be on call?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Junnian glanced at her and stared at her as if he had seen her through, "He is a secret guard, not an errand runner." ”
Oh, it's really her husband, she can know anything she wants.
"The errand is saying, I want him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, I don't believe that there are no Gu worms in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if the Gu worms are cultivated by the queen, then the original Gu worms are set in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can I say that the Prime Minister is the queen's brother, the Dragon Flame Country prohibits raising Gu worms, and it is impossible to raise them in the palace and the emperor's house, so there must be Gu worms in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"The Gu worms in the queen's place may have been cultivated by the original Gu worms in the Prime Minister's Mansion, combined with the blood of the keeper, the Gu worms will grow with the increase of blood, and the reason why they were not searched after the emperor ordered a search of the Prime Minister's Mansion was that there was something secret in the mansion, no matter how they searched, they would not be searched."
Mu Junnian listened to Bai Jin's words, the appreciation in his eyes was revealed, and he took her words, "If you follow this reasoning, the antidote to the face is the prime minister's blood?" ”
Bai Hibiscus shouted, "That's right! It's the prime minister's blood, but the queen thinks that I will save the prime minister if I die, the prime minister and the queen are brother and sister, one is prosperous and the other is lost, he will not admit it and will not give the antidote. ”
Mu Junnian touched her head dotingly, "Don't worry about this, just leave it to me next." ”
The night was so quiet, except for the sound of the branches being baptized by the evening breeze, there was no sound, and even the cicadas seemed to have gone to bed early tonight, and it was very quiet outside.
In the Great Prince's Mansion, the secret guards sent by Mu Junxi to find out the truth came over one by one to report, and all of them had one answer, even the man who was brought back from prison that day pointed to his mother after interrogation.
He knew that the queen mother had prejudices against Xiao Hibiscus, but he never believed that the queen mother would want Xiao Hibiscus to die, nor would he believe that the Gu poison that poured Yan was caused by the queen mother. That day, he was suffering from no place to find out the truth, and he didn't know who threw a handmaid covered in blood and unclothed into his courtyard, and he didn't want to care, but who knew that the maid was Lamei next to the queen mother, and he raised his foot to help Lamei up and ask what was going on, but a dart came from nowhere, and he found that there was a letter marked with a paper after dodging.
Only then did he know that Lamei had something to do with the Gu poison of the face, and learned from Lamei's mouth that the queen mother had all kinds of things about Xiao Hibiscus, he really didn't believe that the queen mother would do that, Xiao Jin was his favorite woman, and the queen mother didn't know, why? Why!
After ordering the secret guard to go down, Mu Junxi lifted his feet and walked out of the Great Prince's Mansion and went straight to the palace.
At this time, the queen was already resting, and Mu Junxi broke into the queen's bedroom despite the palace maid's resistance, "Queen Mother, why do you want to hurt Xiao Jin!" Poisoning her? ”
The queen was awakened by this sudden shout, and the palace maid put on a coat for the queen when she saw this, and the queen watched her son break into her bedroom in the middle of the night and yell at her, or for that woman!
A breath of sullen air blocked his chest, pointing at Mu Junxi, "Presumptuous!" You rebel, how can you talk to the queen mother like this! I came to the main palace in the middle of the night to ask if the main palace came! ”
Mu Junxi's eyes are already red at the moment, his mother has sent killers to assassinate his favorite woman three or four times, and now she is doing everything she can to poison his sister to frame her, both of them are his favorite women!
"Erchen said that Xiaojin is Erchen's favorite woman, and Erchen must protect her no matter what, but why did the queen mother do this? secretly sent a killer to assassinate her, and now he is using Yun Wei's hand to poison Tanyan and frame her? ”
The queen looked at Mu Junxi with wide eyes, her body swayed slightly, how did he know this? These are all things she secretly sent to do, and no one will ever know who leaked the secret!
Mu Junxi looked at the queen's stunned face, and there was still a trace of denial in her heart that collapsed at this time, "Queen Mother, what else do I have to say to my favorite Queen Mother?" ”
"No, it's not like that, please believe the queen mother, the queen mother is doing this for you!" The queen ran to Mu Junxi in a panic and hugged his arm and hurriedly explained, she couldn't let her Xi'er hate her, he couldn't hate her!
"For me? Even if the queen mother succeeds and I get the crown prince, so what? Hibiscus is not by my side, even if I become emperor in the future, what is the use? ”
What the! "Smack!" The queen angrily stretched out her palm and slapped Mu Junxi's face without hesitation, "What kind of bastard are you talking about!" For the sake of that Bai Sujin, you are willing to fall into depravity, and everything that the queen mother has planned for you for so many years will be in vain! ”
"Queen Mother, do you know that doing this will make your sons hate you?" Mu Junxi looked at the queen with disappointed eyes, and her clenched fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened.
Turning his back to the queen, he said, "The matter of the Nine Emperor Brothers is also investigating, presumably the father and the emperor will soon know the truth, and then the queen mother will do it herself." Without looking at her, he raised his feet and walked out of Zhaoyang Palace.
The queen looked at Mu Junxi's distant back and staggered, and the maidservant girl on the side stepped forward with sharp eyes to help prevent the queen from falling.
The queen grabbed the handmaiden's arm tightly, and a trace of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, as if she was asking the handmaid next to her, as if she was talking to herself, "Did I make Xi'er sad, he made me do it myself, he won't come to save his mother!" Xi'er, my Xi'er! ”
Who is it, who is it that tells the story? What about Lamei? "Where's Lamei? Where did Lamei go? ”
The maid behind her asked Lamei and replied in a low voice, "Sister Lamei disappeared yesterday, and the slave doesn't know where she went." ”
I don't know? It's gone yesterday, no wonder he didn't see her, it must have been what she said, she ordered someone to assassinate Bai Sujin, that girl, she has been by her side, she knows everything, this slut! Betrayed her!
"Ahh Slut, slut! ”
On this night, the lights of Zhaoyang Palace were bright, the wailing of the maidservants was piercing, and the sound of porcelain objects breaking was constant. The next morning, Mu Junnian played the Gu poison of Princess Yanyan, and Emperor Long Yan ordered Mu Junnian, the ninth prince, to thoroughly search the Prime Minister's Mansion and find out the Gu worms.
An hour later, Mu Junnian went to the main hall and handed the Gu worm to the Dragon Flame Emperor, who was furious and beheaded the prime minister on the charge of murdering the emperor's heir.
How could Mu Junxi see his uncle beheaded and leave it alone? immediately stepped forward and begged Emperor Longyan to see the face of the queen and the prime minister who had done his best for the country for so many years.
Many officials in the DPRK and China have a close relationship with the prime minister, and it can be said that they are the same party and faction, and they knelt down one by one to beg Emperor Longyan for mercy.
In desperation, Emperor Longyan ordered that the capital crime could be avoided and the living crime could not be escaped, and he was demoted to a concubine and sent to Jingzhou, and his family members were enslaved for life as military women and children. The Nine Emperor Princesses were not the real murderers of the Gu poison matter, and they were innocent, and the Nine Emperor Princes had a meritorious role in investigating the Gu worms and rewarded the South China Sea Pearl with two or three thousand silver.
The fall of the prime minister also made the big stone in the heart of Emperor Long Yan fall, in fact, he wanted to eradicate the big tree of the prime minister for a long time, but the prime minister was cautious, and there was no reason to punish him.
This incident did not affect the queen, and it was also the face of the Dragon Flame Emperor in the face of the eldest prince, after all, the prime minister fell, and the forces behind the queen were not only the prime minister. Mu Junnian is not in a hurry, if he pulls the queen down so quickly, he doesn't think it's interesting, the game is fun to play slowly.
Time is in a hurry, and it is the middle of August in the blink of an eye. Bai Jin looked at the courtyard without a view in front of her with a daze, it hasn't rained in the past few months, it's rained, and there hasn't been a single lightning and thunder, can't she really go back? Mom, I miss you so much.
She didn't know how long she was going to stay in this world, three years or a lifetime.
