Chapter 30: The Secret
Mu Yunqi stopped in the library and didn't know the years and months outside, until he saw a medical case of the imperial doctor thirteen years ago, and then woke up, the book described the illness of her parents and Concubine Chen, "The pulse is thin and floating, like a plague, isolated, and then it will not be cured, because it is like a plague, the corpse must not be left, and it will be burned." ”
The back page was incomplete, leaving only the numbers: "incense, poison, plague, Ula", just these words could not guess any useful information, Mu Yunqi then remembered Situ Jinglai, quickly got up and put the book in his arms, and then looked for his figure behind the various bookshelves, looked for a long time, and shouted for a long time, to make sure that this person was not here, she walked out of the secret room.
When she came out, she found out that she had been in it for three days and three nights, and as soon as she came out, she saw Yu Chi Zhan preparing the porridge in the warm pavilion, "Hurry up and eat two bites, you will be busy next." ”
Mu Yunqi looked at his expression and knew that something big had happened, but the Five Organs Temple had to be sacrificed, she had been in it for three days, and it was estimated that it was too late for any major event at this time.
She ate slowly and methodically, and listened to Yu Chi Zhan say: "There was an accident in the palace, the day you came back, there was news from the palace, Your Majesty was seriously ill, and it happened in the Kunyuan Palace of Concubine De Niangniang, not long after you came back, His Royal Highness King Qin was called away by his guards, and he never came back again, it seems that the situation is not optimistic." ”
Mu Yunqi swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "Go on, there is no inside story." ”
"Our people in the palace have sent news that Concubine De Niangniang has been grounded, King Rui is also trapped in the palace, and King Rui's mansion has been sealed."
"King Qin has no news?"
Yu Chi Zhan shook his head.
"Your Majesty, what's ailment?"
"It's said to be a plague, a plague from thirteen years ago."
"Plague, poison, incense, Ulla." Mu Yunqi muttered these words.
"Xiang'er, what are you talking about?"
"Will Ula be Ula in the Western Regions, the Queen Mother of Chu is the beauty of Ula in the Western Regions, and then the plague and poison will not mean that the plague is actually related to poisoning, incense."
Mu Yunqi seemed to be enlightened, "Your Majesty smelled the incense I prepared at Concubine De that day, this incense was originally the favorite of my mother and Concubine Chen, I just want Your Majesty to recall Concubine Chen, and then stay in Concubine De's palace for a while, so that incense is poisonous, and my parents and Concubine Chen were not plague or poisoned." ”
"What?" Wei Chi Zhan jumped up and shouted when he heard her analysis, "This is a repeat of the old trick from thirteen years ago. ”
"It seems that the King of Chu is not just killing two birds with one stone this time, his arrow is killing all directions."
"You send someone to continue to inquire about the news, you must be cautious, this time the King of Chu will definitely be determined."
After eating, Mu Yunqi changed into women's clothes and walked out of the Guijun Pavilion, not far from the carriage of the King of Chu, Situ Zhong ordered: "Keep an eye on that woman for this king, and kill if necessary." ”
Mu Yunqi just walked out not far before she found that she was being followed, she did not make a sound, but turned to the most lively street, where there are many people, and it is easy to shake off her tail if she moves quickly.
Mu Yunqi went into a ready-to-wear store, slapped a piece of silver on the table and said, "Give me a set of men's clothes, is there a back door?" The boss hurriedly nodded "Yes, yes", and soon changed into men's clothes, pasted a beard, and made a long bangs to cover most of his face before slipping out of the back door, after such a toss, she finally threw off her tail, and after confirming, she jumped into the Qin Wangfu from the back door.
The back door of the Qin Wangfu is not connected to the inner courtyard, the inner courtyard is a fully enclosed layout, Mu Yunqi once sneered at Situ Jing for fear of being cuckolded, and was ruthlessly repaired by Situ Jing, in fact, most of the women in his inner courtyard are spies, and he did such a layout only to prevent spies, which is not difficult to understand why Mrs. Jia dared to do that at the beginning, and after Situ Jing's accident, these women dared to fall into the well, saying that love is a lie.
Mu Yunqi cautiously groped into Situ Jing's study, but saw the door of the secret room in the study open, which made her puzzled, first, Situ Jing had never told her that there was a secret room in this study, and second, how could he be so imprudent that the door of the secret room was wide open.
Mu Yunqi walked to the door of the secret room with doubts and listened carefully to the sounds inside, but found nothing. After thinking about it, she still walked in, as soon as she entered the door, the door behind her was closed, Mu Yunqi looked back at the door that had been closed, turned around and continued to walk forward, it seemed that this door was specially opened for her.
Sure enough, when she came to the end, she saw Situ Jing standing there with her back to her, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn't seem to notice her arrival, Mu Yunqi suddenly had an indescribable sense of pleasure the moment she saw him unharmed, she rushed forward, hugged him from behind, and said, "Brother Jing, you're fine, great." ”
Situ Jing was also stunned at the moment when he was hugged by her, and when he heard the voice, he knew that she was coming, with a relieved smile on his face, he took her hand and turned around to hug her and said, "I'm fine, you finally came out, I specially left the door for you." ”
Mu Yunqi looked up at him, "What kind of place is this?" ”
Situ Jing smiled and said, "You take me to your secret room, this is my secret room, and there is an organization here called Siyun Pavilion, which is where I collect intelligence and train shadows." ”
Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "I knew you weren't simple. ”
Situ Jing turned around her shoulders and took her to the hall, where there were already many people waiting for them, Situ Jing took her to the seat, and the people below knelt down and shouted loudly: "I have seen the pavilion master, I have seen the princess of Qin." ”
Mu Yunqi was a little incredible, these people called her Princess Qin, it seemed that Situ Jing instructed them, Mu Yunqi turned his head to look at Situ Jing, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Brother Jing." ”
She was tighter in Situ Jinglou, and then said below: "Get up, tell me what the situation is outside." ”
Someone stepped forward and said, "The King of Chu has sealed off the whole city, and all the officials are under his surveillance. ”
Someone stepped forward and said: "Yesterday, Prime Minister Mu and the King of Chu proposed to see His Majesty, but the King of Chu refused, and now the Prime Minister is also trapped in the mansion. ”
Situ Jing said: "I know this. He turned to Mu Yunqi and said, "I went to see Prime Minister Mu last night, and he is not optimistic about the current situation. ”
At this time, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty is currently transferred to Concubine Jiang's Qiongxi Palace, and the inside and outside of Qiongxi Palace are very tightly blocked, and even other concubines can't see Your Majesty if they want to." ”
Situ Jing rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "King Rui is okay now." ”
Another person stepped forward and replied, "King Rui is only trapped in the palace at the moment, and there is nothing unusual. ”
Mu Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly, and Situ Jing glanced at her secretly.
"I probably already know the information they have gathered, so I'll talk about some of the information here." After listening to everyone's reports, Mu Yunqi reported that the information was similar to what Wei Chi Zhan told her.
"It seems that the information of the Guijun Pavilion is also very powerful."
Saying that, Situ Jing took her to the back room, which turned out to be the place where Situ Jing rested and read, and it was the underground study and bedroom.
Situ Jing settled her on the bed and said, "You haven't rested for a few days, your eyes are bruised, lie down and rest for a while." ”
Mu Yunqi was lying on the bed but grabbed Situ Jing's arm and said, "I can't sleep, I found something very important." ”
Situ Jing sat on the edge of the bed and listened to her speak slowly, Mu Yunqi took out the book in his arms and said, "This is a case of a former imperial doctor, which records the medical case of my parents and Aunt Yun thirteen years ago. ”
Speaking of this, she sniffed and said with some difficulty: "They are not plagues, they are poisoned, the poison of Ula in the Western Regions, with aromatherapy as a guide." ”
After saying this, she couldn't say any more, only to see Situ Jing clenching his fists, and said with a face full of forbearance and anger: "Concubine Jiang, the fragrance was also given to her mother, and when she heard it, she said that it could calm her mind, and then her mother gave Aunt Hua some, and Aunt Hua also liked it very much." ”
At this time, Mu Yunqi couldn't cry anymore, Situ Jing let go of his fist and hugged her into his arms, stretched out his hand to follow her back, and cried for a long time before Mu Yunqi settled down.
"It seems that this bureau Concubine Jiang has already paved the way for the King of Chu." The two of them came to Prime Minister Mu Cheng's study and told Mu Zhiyuan the truth of the matter, Mu Zhiyuan said with lost eyes, "Back then, Concubine Chen was very favored, and His Majesty also took a much fancy to His Royal Highness King Qin than other princes, His Royal Highness King Qin is not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented and unmatched by all princes, although now King Chu and King Rui are quite talented, it is also the result of hard work the day after tomorrow, and King Qin has been wasted for so many years. In addition, it is Concubine Chen who set up a marriage with the eldest granddaughter of the old minister for him, this matter must have aroused the jealousy of everyone, if it were not for Concubine Jiang's action, presumably other concubines would also do it, which is one of the reasons why both the old minister and His Majesty are against this family business. ”
Mu Yunqi and Situ Jing glanced at each other, and it seemed that the root cause of this disaster had already been planted.
Situ Jing coughed and said: "Many years have passed since this incident, and the plan for the present is how to rescue my father and the emperor, and not let the king of Chu ascend to the throne. ”
Mu Zhiyuan leaned back deeply in his chair and fell into deep thought.
