Li Taijun opened his eyes leisurely and looked around. found himself lying on the bed, and there was only Mu Yunzuo in front of the bed. Seeing her wake up, he hurriedly helped her sit up, stuffed a cushion behind her back, and asked, "Mother feels better now?" ”

Li Taijun saw that his cuffs were still rolled, knowing that there was a doctor who came to check the pulse, and saw that his son's expression was not panicked except for concern, and guessed that he didn't matter. Sure enough, Mu Yunzuo continued: "Imperial Physician Zhao in the palace has just finished taking the pulse for his mother, and he is still prescribing a prescription outside the hall, saying that his mother is angry and angry, and the blood is surging for a while, but fortunately there is no major problem, and his son has instructed him not to talk nonsense after returning to the palace." ”

Li Taijun nodded, and seeing that there was no slave or maid around, he estimated that his son must have something to ask before he sent his subordinates away, so he said, "Do you want to ask about the fish in the letter?" ”

"Yes, my son read it carefully, and what was said in this letter is to say that my brother died of the poison of the fish?" Mu Yunzuo was already trying his best to lower his voice, but he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.

Li Taijun sighed and read, "I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it...... You and You'er are obviously born of the same cell, with similar bodies and similar eating habits. Although you each have your own kitchen, the ingredients you use on weekdays are all purchased by the Taishi Mansion, and there is no difference. How can You'er get frail day by day, but you are not hindered at all. You must know that the only thing that is different from you is the fresh fish sent by the Blue Sea Kingdom, but I have never noticed this. After finishing speaking, he wanted to beat his chest again, but he was pulled by Mu Yunzuo.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. The poison of the mackerel can harm the yang and nourish the yin. This is something I can't think of anyway, no wonder that Zhu Yuxiao eats and drinks together, and I personally taste the food. Although I had suspicions afterwards, it was a step too late after all. Li Taijun shook his head and sighed: "You'er, you were killed like this." ”

Mu Yunzuo knew that his mother was proficient in toxicology, and since he was so sure, there must be a reason, so he hurriedly asked, "What did my mother suspect at the beginning?" But I can see that there are flaws. ”

At the beginning, Zhu Yuxiao argued that she was far away in Cangwu, and wanted to taste the taste of the blue sea often to relieve homesickness, but why even if Zhu Yuxiao left Cangwu, she still sent it correctly, and as soon as You'er died, the fresh fish was no longer sent. Now that I think about it, it is clear that the drunkard does not mean to drink, and he wants to ruin You'er's life. ”

Mu Yunzuo's face was gloomy when he heard this.

Li Taijun continued: "The way of using poison must be divided into urgency. Although the acute poison works quickly, if there is a symptomatic antidote, most of them can be solved immediately. Although the effect of slowing the poison is slow, it will be deeply rooted in the viscera, and even if there is an antidote, it will take time to heal. Such a poison as the mackerel, the entrance is not easy to detect, and after decades of accumulation into many more than one poison, when you wake up, it is already poisoned into the bone marrow, and there is no cure. ”

Mu Yunzuo stood up and paced a few steps in the room, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "If it's really because the fish is poisonous, why do the people of Bihai still eat it and don't give it up?" ”

Li Taijun still shook his head and said: "The people of Bihai have eaten mackerel for generations, and they must have brought the toxicity of their fathers and ancestors since they came out of the womb, and the toxicity is all over the body, and it is not much difference whether they eat or not eat mackerel." If my guess is correct, it is also because of this that the Bihai Kingdom has been passed down from generation to generation of empresses, so as not to miss the national ancestry. ”

Mu Yunzuo listened to his mother's words, Fang suddenly realized, he pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"So according to my mother's opinion, Zhu Yuxiao has harbored evil intentions since the day she married into my Muyun Mansion?"

Li Taijun sighed and said, "Back then, do you remember when your father took you and You'er to the blue sea?" ”

Mu Yunzuo nodded and said, "The child remembers that at that time, the Bihai Kingdom withdrew from Imuran's tiger and wolf army thanks to the golden mountain strategy of his father and uncle and the epidemic poison concocted by his mother. After that, the second Ming Emperor invited my father to take me and my brother to the capital of Taiye Kingdom, and prepared a heavy gift in the name of thanking me Muyun, which was actually to make another alliance between the two countries. ”

Li Taijun said: "The three of you father and son went to the blue sea, and I stayed in the mansion. There are some things that your father told me after he returned. He said that when he met the Ming Emperor, he felt that the woman was not only brilliant, but also born with different eyes, and had the ability to recognize people and things, so he deliberately did not smile, said few words, and covered the expression on her face, so that she could not see through it. But you two were still young at that time, and your joy and anger were all in shape, and your father didn't have time to wake you up in the temple. Around that time, the temperament of your two brothers was seen through by the Ming Emperor. ”

Mu Yunzuo responded: "Yes, in front of his father and everyone, the Ming Emperor said that my brother was good at scheming but not good at decisiveness, and that I was good at judging but not good at scheming, I was not convinced at that time, and then when I got older, I really felt that the far-sighted thing was not as good as my brother, and that woman's vision was indeed a little evil." ”

Li Taijun smiled bitterly and continued: "Actually, your father didn't know his son's temperament, and he was shocked to see that Emperor Ming said it so accurately. Later, she pointed out Zhu Yuxiao to You'er, and the world said that she took a fancy to You'er's resourcefulness above you, but in fact, she had a plan in her heart. ”

Mu Yun Zuoqi said: "Could it be that my father already knew the intentions of Emperor Ming at that time?" ”

"Your father guessed that she was trying to make an imbalance and use her own daughter to sow a curse among your brothers, so that the Mu Yun clan would be in the same room in the future, and she would be able to profit from it. So since the first day Zhu Yuxiao entered the mansion, your father told me to keep an eye on her and not let her make trouble in secret. ”

Hearing his mother say this, Mu Yunzuo suddenly had an epiphany: "No wonder my mother has been watching Zhu Yuxiao so closely in the past few decades, and she has to ask about everything, it turned out to be my father's idea." But with his father's plan, since he saw through Emperor Ming's intentions, and expected that Zhu Yuxiao had a ghost in his heart, why did he accept this family business in the first place? Even if she agrees to the good face of the two countries, she is a person who marries far away, and wants to find a reason to get rid of her after marrying, and then claims that she died of illness, what can Bihai Guo do? If she dies, won't Emperor Ming's unbalanced strategy become an empty talk? How could my father let my Muyun clan fall into such a field today? ”

Li Taijun was saddened by his last sentence: "Yes, your father really didn't expect that Zhu Yuxiao had the intention of poisoning You'er from the beginning of marrying into the Muyun clan. He originally guessed the Ming Emperor's unbalanced strategy, and he just acted according to the plan. ”

"Will it be calculated? Mother means...... Father still has a plan? Mu Yunzuo asked.

Li Taijun said in a low voice: "Zuo'er, you are the descendant of the Mu Yun clan, you should know best, the most powerful strategy of the Mu Yun clan is that it is silent when the policy is made, and the time of the strategy may be several years away......

"If you have a will, why didn't my father say it to my brothers when he left? Aren't my two brothers enough to make it happen? Mu Yunzuo was puzzled.

"Your father has high ambitions and is very human, and he has high hopes for you and You'er, and he has not spoken to you clearly but the time has not yet come. What's more, now You'er is gone, which is really beyond his expectations. But you have to believe in your mother, Mu Yun's family has no last resort, and your father is a rare talent in the past generations, even now we have not been defeated. Therefore, you must listen to your mother, and you must not make a mistake, but you must lie dormant for a while. Li Taijun said and said, thinking of the huge Taishi Mansion, only the mother and son were left, and he choked up a little.

Mu Yunzuo heard that his mother still refused to explain, and he heard that it was his father's last policy, so he had to frown and hold his doubts and stop asking.

Li Taijun looked at the letter on the table, and suddenly said, "I just don't know where this messenger came from?" We want to tell our Mu Yun clan about these vicious thoughts of Bihai. ”

Mu Yunzuo pondered for a while, and said: "No matter where it is, the purpose of telling us must not be kind, it must be to hope that my Mu Yun clan will make trouble to the Bihai Kingdom in order to benefit from it." knows so thoroughly, it can be seen that it has a deep relationship with the blue sea country. ”

He paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "Mother, I have always had something unclear. Zhu Yuxiao was robbed in Yinghu, saying that it was done by the Imurans, but then returned to Taiye City unharmed. I, Cangwu, sent 2,000 people with feather armor this time, why did I fail to escort Zhou Quanquan away from Zhu Yuxiao at that time? If he said that there was no internal response, the son was a little unconvinced. ”

When Li Taijun heard this, his expression became a little unnatural: "Since the defeat of the Imurans, they have been haunted everywhere, if it is said to be an internal response, is there still someone in my Cangwu Kingdom who colludes with Imuran?" ”

Mu Yunzuo shook his head and said, "Mother, don't be silent, you know what the child is referring to." If it wasn't the hand of the Imuran people at all, it was the hand of the Bihai Kingdom from beginning to end, then the one in Zhangren Palace ...... Will it be ......"

Li Taijun suddenly glared at each other angrily: "Stop, do you even suspect that the Holy Lord and the Bihai Country should respond?" Do you know that this is a great rebellion? ”

Mu Yunzuo saw his mother's angry face, but he was a little more accurate in his heart, and refuted without backing: "Mother, don't worry, the matter has come to this point, the child wants to ask, why did the mother go to Hanyuan Hall to ask for the Danshu iron coupon a few days after my brother's death?" What is the explanation for this? ”

When Li Taijun heard this, he was anxious and angry, and he stammered a little: "This ...... This...... My mother had said before that she was ...... years old."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yunzuo picked up the conversation and said, "...... When you get older, sometimes you think crankily, leaving a Danshu iron coupon is for peace of mind? Mother, do you think your child will really believe these words? In addition to preventing problems in Zhangren Palace, what else can the Danshu iron coupon do? Isn't it obvious that you are also suspicious of me, and the Holy Lord is secretly suspicious of my Mu Yun Clan, and has even made a move? ”

Without waiting for Li Taijun to answer, Mu Yunzuo had already stood up, turned his back to his mother and continued: "He is a well-known benevolent monarch in the world, and he will never do anything that breaks the word benevolence, so if Zhu Yuxiao removes his brother for him, and he helps Zhu Yuxiao retreat for Bihaiguo, wouldn't it be a happy deal?" Don't say that my mother didn't think so. ”

Facing away from his mother, he didn't want to see his mother busy hiding the panic on her face, Mu Yunzuo didn't want to push too hard, what he wanted was not an explanation about Luoying Lake, but another.

Mother's short silence was enough to explain everything, and when she spoke again, Li Taijun's tone was much weaker: "Zuo'er, no matter what you think, Mother doesn't allow you to be suspicious of the Holy One." I, the Muyun clan, have guarded the Li clan for generations, relying not only on rare wisdom, but also on loyalty. I will never allow you to ruin the reputation of your ancestors. Sheng Shang has been a docile child since he was a child, I watched him grow up, I know his temperament, he will never hurt our Mu Yun clan, you must believe in your mother. ”

Mu Yunzuo suddenly turned around, stared at his mother's eyes tightly, and asked word by word: "My son just wants to know, why can my mother say with such certainty that he will never hurt our Mu Yun clan?" Why do you still shelter him in everything? ”

Li Taijun froze, she felt that her son had begun to touch the most secret and dark part of her heart.

She took a deep breath, straightened the few strands of silver hair soaked in sweat on her forehead, and said calmly, "Why? Just because of the blood in his body, my father died tragically in the palace of the first emperor, and the Yin Mu Kingdom was trampled overnight. That night, my sister and I wanted to follow our father and stop living. It was your father who came up with the plan to let the first emperor marry his sister. Later, my sister gave birth to Cong'er and succeeded to the throne, which preserved a trace of my blood in the Yin Mu Kingdom. The saint is the child of his sister and the first emperor, as long as he has no descendants on the throne, I will have the successor of the Yin Mu Kingdom to enjoy the emperor forever. That's why his mother protects him in everything and her heart is towards him. Do you understand? ”

Mu Yunzuo shook his head and said disappointedly: "Mother didn't say why the Holy Lord wouldn't hurt my Mu Yun's clan after all. Mother said that she was looking at him because her aunt was the eldest princess of the Yin Mu Kingdom, and he had the blood of her aunt in her body, and protecting him was the emperor who protected the Yin Mu Kingdom and merged into the Cangwu Kingdom. That mother is also the princess of the Yin Mu Kingdom, and I also have the blood of the Yin Mu Kingdom, the throne he can sit on today, what can I not ...... in the future"

"Shut up!" Li Taijun shouted angrily, Mu Yunzuo had not yet come back to his senses, his eyes were already dark, and a crisp slap on his face made his ears buzz.

"Evil obstacles! How dare you say such a paradox! I won't beat you today, and if your father is here, he will serve in the family law!" You and I can hear clearly, the saint is my sister's child, as long as I open my eyes for a day, I will never allow you to have strange thoughts, the country of Cangwu is not prepared for you! ”

Mu Yunzuo had never seen his mother so angry, and even though he was bitter in his heart, he didn't dare to say another half a word, so he had to whisper: "Mother is angry, my son has written it down." ”
