Chapter 149: King Qi accompanies him
Qing Ling stayed to deal with the rest of the matter, and Lu Qiao accompanied Mo Ziyu back to her room, changed into clean clothes, washed the blood stains on her hands on her clothes, her face was still not very good, and she was still a little afraid in her heart.
"Girl, it's all right. Lu Qiao sat beside Mo Ziyu and put Tang Pozi on Mo Ziyu's frozen hand, "We're here, it's okay." ”
Mo Ziyu squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
"Girl, who is it this time?" Lu Qiao sighed, "Why do you always encounter such a thing! This enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, we can't guard against it, what can we do in the future." ”
"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, my girl will be fine, don't frown, I'm hungry, go make me a bowl of wontons." Mo Ziyu pinched her green nose and said with a smile.
"Okay, girl, wait a minute, I'll do it for her. Lu Qiao said and went to the kitchen, and instructed the maid outside to wait.
Mo Ziyu sat in front of the mirror, and her temples suddenly ached.
Whether it is the princess or the second lady, she is not her enemy, and the objects she wants to take revenge are always only Liu Ling and Fu Yuan.
It's just that now the princess and the second lady regard her as an enemy, and if they want to get rid of her quickly, she will definitely not be able to sit still.
She wants to protect the Mo family, and seeing Fu Rui and Liu Ling get retribution, the premise of all this is that she must live!
The struggle between the women in this back house is not much easier than the fight between the men in front.
Although each has its own difficulties and has its own last resort, things have already happened, and they must fight each other to the end.
After a while, Qing Ling entered and said, "The matter has been dealt with." The identity of the assassin has been investigated, he is the palace maid of the Warm Spring Palace, and he was placed in the Warm Spring Palace directly from the palace, and it has been almost two years now. ”
"Check her identity before she entered the palace. Mo Ziyu said, "Now that a person is dead, it is difficult to get an effective confession from her mouth, so you can only check her life experience." ”
"Yes. Qing Ling said, "The matter here has been reported to King Qi's mansion, it shouldn't be long here, when does the girl plan to go down the mountain?"
"It's not too early, let's go down the mountain early tomorrow morning according to the original plan. Mo Ziyu said, "This is the palace, a place for nobles to have fun, but now that such a bloody thing has happened, they are afraid that they will not be happy." I've gossiped enough gossip about me, and now I'm going to add to it. ”
"It's gossip, why do you care so much?" Qing Ling persuaded with a smile, "Let's be innocent, no matter what they say!"
"The three of them became tigers, and they accumulated and destroyed the money. Since ancient times, rumors have been fiercer than tigers, how can anyone really not care about other people's opinions?" Mo Ziyu smiled lightly, "I can only say that I haven't reached that realm yet." ”
Mo Ziyu ate something and rested early, in a daze, she only felt that someone had entered, she didn't fall asleep, she was afraid that Mi Zi came in again, got up and took a look in the faint light, only to see that it was Liu Xu.
His face was a little tired, and he was worried, and he quickly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with concern: "Why are you up?
"Why is the prince here?" Mo Ziyu rubbed his eyes and asked, "Concubine Fang thought she was dazzled!"
"It's the king. Liu Xu rubbed Mo Ziyu's shoulder, "The king has heard about the afternoon, don't be afraid, the king is here!"
"This is about to be the New Year, the prince must be the busiest thing, I'm afraid that many things are inseparable from the prince's decision-making, how can you come here at this time?" Mo Ziyu looked at Liu Xu's eyes and said, although the light was very dim, she could still see the worry and look in his eyes clearly, making the ripples on her heart float.
Liu Xu gently hooked his lips, revealing a doting smile, hugged Mo Ziyu in his arms, gently touched the black hair on her back, and said softly: "You almost had an accident, how can this king still sit still? It's all the king's, it's not appropriate, I originally wanted you to come here to relax, but I didn't expect to suffer this accident. If it weren't for your cleverness and bravery, I'm afraid this king wouldn't be able to see you. ”
"The prince is not a god, so everything can be predicted!" Mo Ziyu smiled, "Although the concubine is worried that the prince has delayed the business for the concubine, but to see the prince, the concubine is very down-to-earth and happy." ”
"Really?" Liu Xu gently lifted Mo Ziyu's chin, his good-looking eyebrows showed a smile like a teenager, and his stiff eyebrows rose slightly, showing this satisfied pride.
"The concubine body can leave some traces in the prince's heart, and the concubine has no regrets in this life. Mo Ziyu snuggled in Liu Xu's arms, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness like a little woman, but in an instant, she turned into a touch of sorrow, and her eyes returned to her senses.
"It's not early, you go to sleep, this king is with you. Liu Xu said, "This king does have some things that have not yet been dealt with, and we will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm. Mo Ziyu moved inside, leaving a place for Liu Xu, and then fell asleep.
Liu Xu didn't expect Mo Ziyu to fall asleep so quickly, kissed her eyebrows, and fell asleep.
Since the accident on the birthday of the Queen Mother, Liu Xu has also been discussing with his subordinates how to expand the influence of public opinion on the matter, as well as dealing with some things in the future, and has not had a good rest for a long time. Hearing Mo Ziyu's slow breathing, he also felt sleepy, and he fell asleep after a while, very steady.
On an ancient tree outside this hall, on the thick trunk branch sat a young man in black, holding a sword in his arms, looking at Mo Ziyu's room. At the moment when Liu Xu entered, his eyes dimmed for a moment, then he snorted coldly and turned his head disdainfully.
King Qi's Mansion, Tongzhi Courtyard.
"The news just came that Mrs. Ning was assassinated in Nuanquan Palace, and the prince also rushed there!" Qiu Tong lit the incense burner, "It's strange to say, who is attacking Mrs. Ning? The third lady is now too busy to take care of herself, I'm afraid that the person who will do it will be the second lady, right? Mrs. Ning is too popular now, and it is reasonable that she will make a move." ”
"Who does it matter?" Princess Qi smiled coldly, "Everyone has their own last resort, but no one is clean. Let's all fight, the harder they fight, the better. ”
"Yes, if they can lose both, it will save us a lot of trouble. Qiu Tong said, "The prince still has so many things in his hands, and when he heard the news, he was still discussing with several ministers, but he didn't expect to be able to leave them and go directly to the Warm Spring Palace, what kind of means does this Mrs. Ning have to make the prince so concerned!"
"What can the prince do? without a good background, he is just like duckweed. The princess sighed softly, "Although she is duckweed, she is also free, not like me, the family is bound, so that I can't advance or retreat, like walking on thin ice." ”
"That Xue'er is still in Qingyue's hands, I don't know what Xue'er will confess to, Qingyue's methods are very powerful!" Qiu Tong said worriedly, "The princess shouldn't have gone to this troubled water in the first place, since this matter has passed, she has also picked herself up, but now she is trapped again." ”
"At the beginning, it was also a gamble, and the grudge between the second lady was deep, and now she has returned to the palace, and the Yang family is now in full swing, the princess will definitely not snub her, she has a grudge against me, and she will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. If this contradiction can be led to the third lady, then the second lady can be allowed to bite the third lady, and the third lady will be removed in one fell swoop. The princess sighed and rubbed her temples, "Cher's mouth is tight, and she won't say anything bad to me." ”
After a pause, she continued: "It's that Jiang Liu and Mi Zi didn't deal with the matter well, generally speaking, after a woman appeared in this kind of rumor, she was killed, I didn't expect that so many people would intercede for her, and the Queen Mother had no choice but to find out the truth behind it." We didn't have much to do with this, but we didn't want to burn ourselves!"
She continued to rub her eyebrows with a headache: "Recently, the original delicate balance of the palace has been broken, and I feel more and more threatened, so all the movements are more aggressive, if only I was calm, I am afraid that there will not be so many handles." ”
"Princess, tomorrow the slave and maid will leave the palace and go to Zhuangzi, and she will not be able to serve by the princess's side in the future, the princess must take care!" Qiu Tong said melancholy, "The princess must remember to relax, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will be a way, and the princess will definitely be able to get through the difficulties." ”
"You've been with me for so many years, and I'm not used to it without you. The princess sighed, "It's really an eventful time now." ”
"Ming'er, the slave's sister will come to the palace, and she will accompany the princess in the future. Qiu Tong gently lowered her shoulders to the princess, "The slave maid is clever and reliable, and the princess can trust her as if she trusted the slave maid in the future." ”
"I know, it's just that I'm bitter for you. ”
The princess and Qiu Tong were talking, and the second lady in the room was not idle.
"What, did my brother send someone to assassinate Jiang Liu?" After hearing the news of Jiang Liu's assassination, the second lady was very puzzled, "It's just a cheap maid, why bother to deal with my brother's efforts? But since he wants to do it, why didn't he say hello to me? Assassinating in the royal palace, if this is found out, this crime will be a big crime!"
The second lady was worried that her brother was in danger because of the assassination in Nuanquan Palace, and the thing she was most concerned about was the third lady's fake pregnancy.
No matter who arranged the third lady's fake pregnancy, she was wronged, framed, lost the name of the side concubine in vain, and was driven to Lingyin Temple, which was laughed at.
As long as the third lady's fake pregnancy is confirmed, then she will definitely not give up, and those grievances and humiliations will inevitably be recovered.
"Xue'er has been taken away by Qing Yue for a few days, and still hasn't found out anything?" the second lady said with some irritation, "Why hasn't any news been revealed?"
"Second lady, don't worry, Qing Yue's tone has always been very tight, and he will only report any news to the prince. Lily of the valley persuaded, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." The prince will give you justice!"
The second lady smiled coldly: "The prince doesn't administer justice for me, I still have my brother and father! My husband may not be reliable, but my mother's family can always let me rely on it!"
