Chapter 49: Concubine Zhuang

Seeing this, Mu Yunqi understood why Mu Zhiyuan wanted to control the prince, in fact, this knot has always existed in the hearts of the Mu family, although Situ Botian gave him a high honor and generous treatment for the Mu family, but how could the Mu family, who was only one step away from the supreme position, be satisfied.

It seems that the Mu family's statement that Mu Fengqi's violent death is inseparable from Situ Botian is not true, Situ Botian did not kill Mu Fengqi, it was Mu Fengqi's dissuasion that would lead to such an ending.

Mu Yunqi suddenly flipped to the end, she caught a glimpse of "Concubine Zhuang Liu Tianwei went out of the palace to marry into the ......", and when Mu Yunqi had to take a closer look, the time had come, and the door of the secret vault was opened and there was a violent shaking. Mu Yunqi could only leave with the Lord of the Order unsatisfied, and before leaving, Mu Yunqi scratched his head and asked, "Do I still have a chance to get the Heavenly Order?" ”

That day, the Lord laughed and said, "Miss Mu, don't be too greedy, let everything be as it is." ”

Mu Yunqi changed back into his clothes and went down the mountain very reluctantly.

As soon as Mu Yunqi went to court, he received enthusiastic condolences from everyone, and Mu Yunqi could only thank them one by one. The emperor saw Mu Yunqi and asked, "Aiqing is in good health?" ”

Mu Yunqi stepped forward and thanked him and said, "Your Majesty Xie cares, it's already good." ”

In the past few days, Situ Xi was busy investigating the assassins, and in the blink of an eye, he found that he hadn't seen Mu Yunqi for many days, and this saw that he actually had a little longing.

As soon as the morning came, Situ Xi stopped Mu Yunqi, "Lord Yun stays, this king has something to say to you." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't want to have more contact with Situ Xi, but then he thought about how Situ Jing explained himself to him, how could he avoid him, since there was no way to avoid it, Mu Yunqi still stopped and waited for him.

Situ Xi approached and said with a smile: "Why do you walk so fast, it seems that your body is so neat." ”

Mu Yunqi replied with a smile: "It's good, thank you King Rui for your concern." ”

Situ Xi nodded and said, "Since it's already good, then let's go with this king and see the clues that have been discovered." ”

Mu Yunqi looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "There is a clue so soon?" ”

"There are some clues, you can also take a look."

The two of them came to the morgue of the Jingshi Yamen, and listened to him babble about the results of the autopsy, "These people were killed with a sword, although there were other injuries on the body, but the fatal blow was in the heart, tsk, this killer method is really ruthless!" ”

Situ Xi looked at Mu Yunqi, Mu Yunqi's face did not change and said, "What else did you find besides the scars?" ”

He continued: "These people should be people who take medicine all year round, and the color of the bones in their bodies is different from that of ordinary people. ”

Mu Yunqi wondered, "What kind of assassin needs to take medicine for a long time?" ”

Situ Xi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's an assassin who has been trained with a special method, and he will use any method in order to improve his skills. ”

Mu Yun nodded and said, "Then I still can't tell who raised the assassin from anyone." ”

At this time, the time came for the work to come into play, and as soon as he heard this question, he immediately continued: "Don't say, these people all have a strange pattern on them, everyone is in a different position, and the size is different, but the pattern is the same, come and see this." ”

Situ Xi and Mu Yunqi walked up to him, and he continued: "This person's pattern is big and can be seen clearly, this circle looks like a snail, but there is a sharp corner drawn on it. ”

Mu Yunqi looked at this pattern and frowned, "This pattern seems to have been seen somewhere." ”

Mu Yunqi felt a little headache when he thought about it, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and suddenly something seemed to flash in front of him. Situ Xi saw that she was in a bad state, and quickly helped her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Mu Yunqi didn't seem to hear what he said, and fell into an illusory scene, there were two women in white clothes in the picture, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Mu Yunqi knew that one of them was his mother.

The two women chased after me, so it was not lively, and suddenly I heard a girl's voice, as if it was herself, as if she had fallen, and the two women hurriedly ran over.

One of the women, who was not her mother, lifted her up first, and then she saw that the woman had such a pattern on her neck.

The scene turned, and in front of her was a raging fire burning the corpses of countless people, and several children stood in front of the fire and watched quietly. At this moment, a child turned to look at her with the eyes of a gloomy, and the child also had such a pattern in the center of his eyebrows.

Mu Yunqi's eyes suddenly widened, looked at Situ Xi and said, "Ula people, I saw this pattern on the head of Ulla's child. ”

At this time, she remembered that half of the curtain had been torn off from the back of King Ula, and it was not the same pattern, so she said with more certainty: "It's Ula." ”

Then he turned to Qi Zuo and asked, "Do these people have this kind of totem on them?" ”

He nodded, and by the way, he opened the clothes of several corpses and showed them, and sure enough, it was the same pattern with different sizes and positions.

Mu Yunqi guessed: "Could this be the 50,000 army that disappeared?" ”

Situ Xi reacted immediately, "Hurry up and write a letter to Ah Jing and tell him that the Ula people have entered the capital." ”

Saying that, the others had already walked out, and instructed his attendants: "Summoning the military department Shangshu into the palace." ”

After speaking, he turned around and grabbed Mu Yunqi and said, "Let's go, come with me into the palace." ”

Mu Yun nodded and followed his footsteps.

In the imperial study, the emperor listened to the reports of Situ Xi and Mu Yunqi, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"So, the remnants of Ula have entered the capital, and they are also attacking the Qin Palace?"

Mu Yunqi arched his hand and said: "The King of Qin is the commander of the Annihilation of Wula, and it makes sense for them to come to the Qin Palace's Mansion to seek revenge, maybe they don't know that the King of Qin has been exiled." ”

Situ Xi asked suspiciously, "Is it possible that they knew that the Fourth Emperor Brother had been exiled, and they went to the Qin Palace's Mansion just to find something." ”

"I'm afraid there is nothing to find in the Qin Wangfu, everyone is gone, only Mu Yunxuan is left, this doesn't make sense." Mu Yunqi retorted, and in her heart she agreed with Situ Xi's statement, she saw some of the group of people running towards Situ Jing's study.

After the arrival of the military department, he drew up a city-wide search warrant, which was bound to eliminate the remnants of Ulla.

Situ Xi and Mu Yunqi came out of the palace together, and when they walked to the palace gate, Mu Yunqi remembered that his carriage was allowed to go back to the house because he went to the yamen with Situ Yu before, so he tossed a big circle, and it seemed that he had to rub Situ Xi's carriage back to the house again.

Seeing Situ Xi's carriage parked at the gate of the palace, Mu Yunqi sighed deeply, and without waiting for Situ Xi's invitation, he sat directly in the carriage. ”

"There's no way, I don't have a carriage, so I can only come to rub His Royal Highness King Rui."

"Well, dinner time is coming, how about going to my house to taste your imperial sister-in-law's peach blossom brew?"

Mu Yunqi couldn't help but be greedy when he thought of Princess Rui's wine, and nodded happily, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Situ Xi smiled and nodded her nose, Mu Yunqi was stunned by his movements, as if he also liked to tap her nose when he was a child.

Situ Xi smiled disapprethoughtly and said, "It's still so cute when it's so big." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't dare to take the word "cute", so he pretended to be annoyed and said, "Brother Xi, I've grown up. ”

Situ Xi shook his head and smiled, "You guys will never grow up in my eyes." ”

Mu Yunqi was stunned when he heard this, yes, he is their big brother and will always protect them.

Entering the Rui Palace, Princess Rui didn't expect Yun Murong to come, so she hurriedly asked her subordinates to add a few dishes, but was stopped by Situ Xi, "Don't be so polite to him, just take out your peach blossom brew." Princess Rui smiled and went to fetch wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Mu Yunqi suddenly asked: "Does Your Highness know if the harem concubines can go out of the palace to marry someone else?" ”

After hearing this, Situ Xi asked strangely: "Where did you hear this, how is it possible, since the beginning of the dynasty, no concubine can marry someone else, the previous dynasty did, but that is also a very special situation." ”

Mu Yunqi also felt that the things described in that text were too terrifying, maybe she was wrong, but she still continued to ask: "Your Highness, does your Highness know what happened to the former emperor's concubine Zhuang?" ”

"Concubine Zhuang? Which concubine Zhuang, the concubine of the first emperor? ”

"I have a chrysanthemum hairpin from Concubine Zhuang Liu Tianyi." Mu Yunqi remembered the hairpin he retrieved from the Kuo Heavenly Pavilion.

"Concubine Zhuang Liu Tianyi, is it? When the king has the opportunity to go to the history library to take a look, alas, the emperor's grandfather has many concubines, I really can't remember clearly, but this heir is scarce, plus the competition for the throne, the Situ family has no princes of the previous generation alive. Situ Xi sighed.

Mu Yunqi frowned, the withering of the royal family is not a good thing for a country, but it is indeed a pleasure for some extremely ambitious people.
