Chapter 55: The Hairpin of the Lord
At the last moment, Mu Wanqing's wrist was tightly grasped by Bai Yuchen, and no matter how she pushed forward, she couldn't push it for half a minute.
Bai Yuchen looked at her with a cold expression and said, "Wanqing, this is above the main hall, what do you want to do?"
Bai Yuchen's clear voice with a hint of coldness fell on Mu Wanqing's ears, and before she could react, he let go of his hand, and suddenly, without defense, Mu Wanqing fell to the ground all of a sudden.
When the people in the hall saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Wanqing, are you okay?"
Mrs. Mu hurriedly comforted her, Mu Wanqing looked at Bai Yuchen with teary eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, you, you help her ...... again"
Bai Yuchen frowned slightly, and said: "Wanqing, this is not in the palace, it is above the palace hall, the emperor and the queen are still there, you can't do whatever you want, what you want."
At this moment, Mu Wanqing's heart was full of hatred for Su Yexi, and she couldn't hear what others were saying in her ears, and her face began to itch again after being excited.
She bared her teeth and grinned, looking pained: "It's so itchy, itchy!" Su Yexi, you slut, I won't let you go! ”
"Enough! Miss Mu, what kind of noisy and noisy are you in this hall, do you take me in your eyes! ”
Murong Tian said sharply, with a faint trace of anger on his face, and the people in the hall were shocked, and all of them knelt on the ground from their seats, and said in unison: "The emperor (father) is angry."
For a while, the hall was silent, and even a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly, Mu Wanqing didn't dare to make noise, her face was itchy, she wanted to scratch it, but she didn't dare to scratch it, she could only whimper in her mouth.
Mu Changping saw that Murong Tian was angry, his face turned pale with fright, kowtowed a few times, and said tremblingly: "The emperor is angry, the emperor forgives the sin, Wanqing She didn't mean it, she was so disgraced in the main hall because she was upset and irritable when she came out of the clinic on her face, and asked the emperor for forgiveness!".
Murong Tian's tense face stretched a little, and his tone was not so tough: "Mu Wanqing, I don't blame you when I see your young age, but I must not make such a move."
Seeing that his daughter didn't react, Mu Changping hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, Mu Wanqing nodded with tears in her eyes, like a chicken pecking rice, and said scaredly: Yes, the courtiers obey the order. ”
Murong Tian's sharp eyes glanced at the kneeling people in the main hall, and said in a deep voice, "You all get up and take your seats."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.
After the words fell, everyone got up and sat back in their seats.
At this time, Hua Zhangteng hurriedly walked into the main hall, followed by a waiter holding a wooden plate with a book in it, and saluted: "Weichen participates in the emperor."
Murong Tian raised his hand and said, "Pingshen, Hua Zhangteng, how are you investigating?" The person who poisoned him was found. ”
Hua Zhangteng's face was calm, as if he had already made up his mind, and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has not found out the person who poisoned him."
When Murong Tian heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Hua Zhangteng, I didn't find the murderer, what are you doing here?" I said that no matter what, you have to find out who poisoned Miss Mu in order to save Miss Mu. ”
Hua Zhangteng didn't look scared at all, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although Wechen has not found out who poisoned her, Wechen has found out the reason for Miss Mu's poisoning."
Murong Tian's face was a little better, and he said, "Oh? Why was Miss Mu poisoned? ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen sent people to investigate and inquire carefully in the palace and in the Mu Governor's Mansion, and finally found a trace of clues, Miss Mu was poisoned, not by others, but because of the hairpin that Miss Mu wore on her head."
When Murong Tian heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the hairpin on Mu Wanqing's head, and wondered, "What do you mean, what does Miss Mu's poisoning have to do with the hairpin on her head?"
Hua Zhangteng looked at his nose and nose, stood with his nose and heart, and said fearlessly: "Your Majesty, please let Weichen ask Miss Mu a few words."
"Just ask."
"Your Majesty."
Hua Zhangteng turned his eyes to look at Mu Wanqing and asked, "Miss Mu, can you tell everyone where this hairpin on your head came from?"
Mu Wanqing's eyes were like spring water, she glanced at the people around her, and whispered: "This hairpin was bought in Diancui Pavilion when I went out with my cousin in the afternoon three days ago."
Hua Zhangteng nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know the origin of this hairpin, or what did the shop owner say when you bought it?"
"Origin? I don't know where it came from, but as for what was said, ......"
Mu Wanqing thought about it for a long time, as if she remembered something, she said slowly: "I remember that the shopkeeper said that this hairpin is called Amethy Crystal Dotted Emerald Flower Hairpin, which has spirituality, and the person who wears it will become more and more beautiful, so I sold it for five hundred taels of silver at that time."
Thinking of what the boss said, the more Mu Wanqing thought about it, the more angry she became, she took off the hairpin on her head, and said dissatisfied: "I think that shop owner is a liar, and the person who wears it will become more and more beautiful, my face has become like this now, obviously it is getting uglier and uglier!"
Hua Zhangteng shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Miss Mu, can you give me the hairpin."
"No, here you go."
Hua Zhangteng took the hairpin, carefully touched the decoration on it, there was a bright light in his eyes, and said word by word: "This purple jade crystal point emerald hairpin carving is exquisite, the purple jade on it is made of psychic purple jade, so it is very spiritual, the shop owner did not lie, what he said is also right, but he did not finish speaking, if this hairpin recognizes the master, regardless of men and women, it will make the person with this hairpin more and more beautiful......"
As soon as these words came out, the concubines and noblewomen sitting in the hall lit up their eyes, and they all stared at the hairpin in Hua Zhangteng's hand without blinking.
"Oh!"
There was a glimmer in Queen Yun's phoenix eyes and she said, "And then?" ”
If you don't recognize the Lord, on the contrary, you will be like Miss Mu, with a red rash on her face, itchy skin, like poisoning, if there is no antidote, in the long run, your face will be ruined and unsightly. ”
As soon as Hua Zhangteng's voice fell, he only heard a "bang" in the hall.
Mu Wanqing heard that her face was ruined, her eyes turned black and she fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Queen Yun commanded with cold eyes: "Come on, help Miss Mu to the wing room, so that she can take care of her."
"Yes, Queen."
When the words fell, the two palace maids hurriedly helped Mu Wanqing into the wing room, Su Yexi glanced at Mu Wanqing's back with cold eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a meaningful smile, she didn't expect this hairpin to have such a statement, but she didn't believe in the words of the hairpin recognizing the master, sure enough, God was helping her, and now the truth is revealed.
This Mu Wanqing has a good appearance since she was a child, and she has a handsome cousin who has always been fond of him, if her appearance is ruined, where can she still be worthy of Bai Yuchen?
Hearing this, Queen Yun's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and said coldly: "Master Hua, this palace has never heard of such a thing as a hairpin recognizing the master, do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true, if there is no evidence, this palace will think that you are deliberately looking for an excuse because you can't find the murderer!"
Murong Tian's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, Hua Aiqing, what the queen said is right, you need to come up with evidence."
Hua Zhangteng gave a slight salute and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Queen, since Wechen said this, there is evidence to be found, the hairpin recognizes the Lord, when the first emperor was there, there was this case, Wechen asked the old man in the palace, when the Queen Mother was still a concubine, she once wore a dripping peony hairpin, this hairpin is carved by exquisite blood jade, and the purple jade is generally spiritual, back then, the craftsmen in the palace created a dripping peony hairpin for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was originally beautiful, but a beautiful woman, after wearing the hairpin, day after day, The Queen Mother's appearance is getting more and more beautiful.
Therefore, at that time, there was a lot of discussion in the palace, all said that the Queen Mother was a goblin, for this reason, the Queen Mother also severely punished several palace people, and then asked Dali Temple to investigate, only to learn that the dripping peony hairpin is a spiritual hairpin, if you recognize the Lord, the ugly girl who wears it can also become a beauty, and the beauty will become more beautiful. ”
Hearing this, Murong Tian nodded and said thoughtfully: "Hua Aiqing is right, this kind of thing did happen to the queen mother back then."
"Wechen has other evidence to prove."
As he spoke, he presented the book in the hand of the attendant behind him to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this book was found by Weichen in the library pavilion, and it records all kinds of strange silk and silk and jewelry, including this kind of hairpin that recognizes the lord."
Murong Tian flipped through the book in his hand, the paper was yellowed, and there was still a little dust, and it was already a long time ago when he saw it.
After a moment, he closed the book and looked at Hua Zhangteng, a slight smile appeared on his cold face, and he said in a gentle tone: "That's right, it seems that as you said, the reason why Miss Mu was poisoned was because she wore this hairpin."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Murong Tian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Hua Zhangteng, worthy of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this ability to investigate the case is not ordinary, and I am rewarded."
Hua Zhangteng's face was expressionless, with a grim look, and said lightly: "Emperor Xie, this is what Weichen should do."
Queen Yun clenched her fists in her hands, and her eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness, damn, this Su Yexi's luck is really good!
Murong Tian looked at Su Yexi with gentle eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, now that the truth is revealed, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can step down."
Su Yexi gave a light salute and said, "Thank you, Emperor."
Murong Chen looked at her with a playful smile, Su Yexi, Su Yexi, is this matter related to you?
Knowing that her daughter was like this because of this amethy crystal hairpin, Mrs. Mu was furious, snatched the hairpin from Hua Zhangteng's hand, slammed it to the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, but Wanqing her, she can't understand this poison, but how is it good, my Wanqing is only thirteen years old, and her appearance is ruined like this, doesn't it cost her life, Your Majesty, please save Wanqing, Your Majesty ......"
"Madame, Madame, don't ...... like this"
Mu Changping helped Mrs. Mu and was extremely sad.
Murong Tian's expression was solemn, and he sighed: "Even the son of the Bai family can't do anything, what can I do?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu cried even more, and just when everyone was worried, a gentle and moving voice sounded.
