Chapter 71: Mu Yunzhen's green hat
After lunch, Yuan Bao went back to his house for a nap.
After Bai Xiaoqi watched Yuan Bao leave, he said to Mu Yunche: "Is there really love at first sight in this world?" β
"I don't know, I haven't encountered it, I have more affection and responsibility for my little ingots, this child came to me except for some crying and homesickness some time ago, he has always been very well-behaved, and there is no squeamish pretentiousness on those young ladies of the family, but it is very straightforward and cute, now think about it, if there is such a person, it is also good to be a companion in the long lonely years, what do you say?"
"On the Yuan family's side, you have to deal with it well in the future, don't let her hate you!" Bai Xiaoqi poured cold water at the right time.
Mu Yunche gave Xiao Qi a big roll of his eyes when he heard this, "Why are you so incomprehensible, you actually say such things when you are so sensational!" β
"I'm a rough man, what kind of style do you want?" Bai Xiaoqi replied unconvinced, and then suddenly remembered something and said to Mu Yunche: "Zhang Guifei's matter is your hand? β
"If I don't start, how can I have the opportunity for my father to see such a good show?" Mu Yunche smiled slyly.
"Last time, Zhang Guifei passed me into the palace and wanted to frame me with a token of free access to the palace, and wanted to frame me with the intention of assassinating the emperor, but unfortunately I didn't ask for it, and rejected her hint of an alliance, so she privately sent an assassin to assassinate me, how can I not give her something in return?" Mu Yunche looked at Bai Xiaoqi with a smile on his face.
"I arranged for the inner staff in the palace to drug Zhang Guifei before you entered the palace, and then led Chang Hai to Zhang Guifei's bedroom, knocked him unconscious, poured medicine on him, and sent him to Zhang Guifei's bed, this is the scene that Mu Yunzhen and you saw, but I didn't expect it, I don't need to say that you will cooperate with me so much!"
"I guessed that you did it, otherwise why did everything go so smoothly after I entered the palace, and how many eyeliners did you put in the palace?" Bai Xiaoqi looked at Mu Yunche and said angrily.
"You don't need to know this, it's a lot anyway!" Mu Yunche pretended to smile deeply.
"Then why did the people from the Three Great Immortal Sects delay entering the palace, could it be that you arranged it?" After Mu Yunche said this, Bai Xiaoqi straightened out the contradictions of that day.
"I sent some people to harass them, but when my people got there, they had already fought with another group of people, the origin of that group is unknown, but they are extraordinary, and they can retreat under Xue Ying and the three of them after injuring most of the Xianmen disciples, which shows that their strength is not bad." Mu Yunche also had doubts about the origin of this group of people, and frowned unconsciously.
"They obviously have the strength to kill those disciples, but they didn't kill them, and they didn't clash head-on with Xue Ying and them, I think they have the same purpose as me, they are helping you delay time and let you find clues about your own background! In this way, they also have their own eyeliner in the palace......"
"Could it be the Shadow Guard?" Bai Xiaoqi immediately thought of the old department of the Demon Lord.
"No, they don't have a phoenix mark on them, and it seems that there is still a group that is secretly watching you, so what is their purpose?" This is also a question that Mu Yunche has been pondering and meditating for the past few days.
"Another force ......" Bai Xiaoqi felt very big about this sudden extra force, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "When did you get so much attention?" β
"Forget it, I see that so far, they haven't made any special moves, and they don't need to care too much, but it's better to be careful in the future, after all, it's indispensable to guard against people!" Mu Yunche instructed with some concern.
"I see, but I think the most important thing I should be guarding against right now is you!" Bai Xiaoqi looked at Mu Yunche and said angrily.
Thinking that he only promised to help him for a few days, he was almost counted by his life, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't even want the throne for himself, he would really turn his face!
"That's what I'm talking about, I'm your relative!" Mu Yunche looked at Bai Xiaoqi with an aggrieved expression.
"Hmph, relatives who can't be beaten with eight poles!" Bai Xiaoqi couldn't help but scold him. Then he thought of one more thing and asked, "How did you know that Hachi would save me?" β
"Oh, he left me a letter when he left that day, there was a talisman in it, he said that if you encounter any danger, let me burn the talisman, he will come, but he asked me not to tell you......" Mu Yunche took a sip of tea and said with a big grin.
Xiao Qi's expression was a little complicated when he heard this, if Xiao Ba really cared about himself, why did he still have an ambiguous relationship with that sea and bright moon, why would he still be hot and cold to himself?
"What do you want?" Mu Yunche looked at Bai Xiaoqi and said with a tangled face.
"No, it's nothing......" Xiao Qi shook his head, not knowing how to talk to him about this mood.
"I don't want to say forget it, my father sent someone to investigate the matter of Zhang Guifei and Chang Hai, I added some material to him from the middle, and it is estimated that there will be results soon!"
"What?" Bai Xiaoqi looked at Mu Yunche inexplicably, not knowing what the hell he was doing from the middle.
"It's nothing, it's just that I let my father know some truths, I guess he knows by now......" Mu Yunche smiled incomprehensibly, this smile made Bai Xiaoqi feel a little creepy.
Night River Palace, Imperial Study.
Mu Yunzhen looked at the guards who came to summon the message, and said with a gloomy face: "How is the matter I ordered?" β
"If you go back to the emperor, you found ......" The guard knelt on the ground and bowed his head, hesitating whether to tell the emperor what he heard.
"Say, what did you find out after a long time?" Mu Yunzhen said impatiently, recently he was overwhelmed by a Bai Xiaoqi, and he sent someone out to check many times without results, and it didn't take long to send someone to check Zhang Guifei, this time there should be a result, right?
"Back to the emperor, the ministers arrested all the maids and servants in Concubine Zhang's palace to the Torture Division, and under severe torture, a grandmother couldn't stand the beating and confessed."
Although Mu Yunzhen knew the result, he still wanted to know, "How?" β
"That grandmother said, said, it is not only Chang Hai who has always had an affair with Zhang Guifei, but also, the general, Zhang Qi ......" The guard said what he knew, but he didn't expect Mu Yunzhen to be angry and take the case.
"What did you say?" Mu Yunzhen glared angrily, looked at the guards on the ground with a shocked expression, and then said, "Go on!" β
"Yes, the grandmother also said, and said that King Huaiyuan is not your son, but General Zhang Qi's...... In order to make the day right, Zhang Guifei deliberately took medicine and delayed the production date by three days...... "The more the guard said, the quieter his voice became, and then he simply lost his voice.
"Go on!" Mu Yunzhen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said.
"The minister sent someone to Zhang Guifei's parents to investigate, and found that Zhang Guifei was the only daughter in the family, and did not have any brother and brother, but had a childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©, named Liu Wenxiu, the minister found Liu Wenxiu's portrait, and confirmed that it was the current Zhang Qi, General Zhang......"
"What else?"
"In order to follow the concubine Niangniang, General Zhang abandoned his elderly parents, and the minister has taken them to the palace."
"Tell Zhang Qi and Mu Yunjing to enter the palace to see me! Bring the confessed grandmother and Zhang Qi's family! Mu Yunzhen's face was gloomy at this time, and anger surged in his heart.
Chen Quan, who was beside him, hurriedly went down and ordered the little eunuchs around him to go out of the palace and invite people to the palace.
An hour later, Mu Yunjing and Zhang Qi entered the palace at the same time, but they didn't know that they would face Mu Yunzhen's fury like a storm.
Mu Yunzhen looked at Mu Yunjing and Zhang Qi who were standing below, and the more he looked at the two, the more similar they became, and his heart was even more angry.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Mu Yunzhen said to Zhang Qi: "General Zhang, have I ever treated you badly? β
Zhang Qi didn't know what Mu Yunzhen meant, but he still spoke: "The emperor has given a lot of favors to the minister, and he has promoted the minister all the way to here. β
Mu Yunzhen couldn't stop sneering at Zhang Qi's words in his heart, and shouted: "Liu Wenxiu! β
"Alas......" Zhang Qi subconsciously responded when he heard this familiar name, but after that, he was covered in a cold sweat......
hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister did not intend to change his name and surname to deceive the emperor, it's just that he ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yunzhen interrupted him angrily: "Is it just to stay with your childhood sweetheart, Zhang Guifei?" β
Mu Yunjing on the side was shocked, he didn't understand why his uncle turned out to be another person, what did his father mean when he said that he and his mother were childhood sweethearts?
"Father...... Mu Yunjing wanted to ask clearly, but he was a little scared and called softly.
But he didn't expect Mu Yunzhen to roar angrily and interrupt him, "Don't call me Father!" It's your dad who kneels next to you! β
"Come on, bring Liu Wenxiu's father and mother, and Zhang Guifei's grandmother in the palace in!" Mu Yunzhen did not give the two of them the slightest chance to defend themselves.
At this moment, an old couple walked in, saw Zhang Qi kneeling on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears, and came to him step by step, stroked his face and said: "Son, you have not come back from home for more than 20 years, do you know how much I miss you and your mother!" β
The woman on the side was already crying, "You rebel, I thought you died outside, you are alive, why don't you send a letter to your mother!" β
Zhang Qi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, silently wept, did not say a word, at this time he looked at his elderly parents, his heart was full of guilt, the old saying is that parents are here, do not travel far, there must be a way to travel!
But for a greedy and vain woman, he has been away from home for 20 years, half his life, incognito, and his parents who should enjoy the joy of family life, but also suffer the pain of losing their children, and now they meet, but they may let them fall into death because of themselves, and they are really in vain!
"Your Majesty, the minister pleaded guilty, and the minister admitted that he had an affair with Concubine Zhang...... I just ask the emperor to spare my elderly father and mother......"
