Chapter 268: Planting the Seed
In just one day, the matter of Mu Lanzhi and Wanyan Shaohong spread throughout the capital.
Everyone said that Mu Lanzhi, the daughter of the prime minister of Yunshu Kingdom, didn't know how to check, and actually did something like that without seeing Wanyan Shizi a few times.
Some people also said that Yan Shizi was actually a lustful person, and when he saw Mulan Zhichang's beauty, he attacked her.
......
Anyway, there are all kinds of theories, but they are just speculations by ordinary people.
But there is one thing that is a fact, that is, something has indeed been done between Mu Lanzhi and Wanyan Shaohong.
All kinds of rumors made Mu Lanzhi never want to stay in this Northern Night Country anymore.
But now she needed to know how the rumor had gotten out, and the person who had spread the rumor probably knew what the whole thing was all about!
So she couldn't figure it out, so Mu Lanzhi decided to ask Huai'anhou. See what he thinks.
"Master Hou, tell me, who spread the news of that night?"
Look, it's only been a long time, it's only been a day, and the city is full of storms, if no one is behind it, I don't believe it.
But this is the Northern Night Country, and they are weak, even if they know that someone is telling the story of that night behind their backs, they can only watch and do nothing.
"Miss Mu is not in a hurry first, I don't think it's better to be like this, this is the Northern Night Kingdom after all, why don't we go to the Northern Night Emperor!"
After thinking about it carefully, Mu Lanzhi felt that what Huai Anhou said was good, so she nodded in agreement.
Mu Yunlan sat by the window, looked at Mu Lanzhi who went out after dressing up, turned his head to Chu Qian who was reading there and said, "Mu Lanzhi is out, let's see Ye Xuanchen's ability!
"Ye Xuanchen, you can rest assured, after all, he can get to this point, and he himself has the ability. As for Wanyan Shaohong......"
Taking the book away, Chu Qian frowned rarely.
"I checked according to what you said, and this time there is indeed a ghost capital person by his side, and the relationship is not bad. ”
Good relationship!
With a clear smile, Mu Yunlan didn't say anything, what she was waiting for now was the news of Ye Xuanchen.
In the palace, although he had long heard Mu Yunlan say that Mu Lanzhi would come to him, after hearing the words of the eunuchs, he couldn't help but be surprised.
This cousin of his is really unusual, then he will not let her down.
"Since you are the envoy of Yunshu Kingdom, come in!"
"Xuanyun Shuguo Huai Anhou, Mu Lanzhi will meet you!"
After a very polite salute, Huai'an Hou began to explain their intentions.
"Presumably the emperor already knows about Miss Mu, although this matter is a matter for me Yun Shu and Xi Liang, but after all, it is related to Miss Mu's reputation. Therefore......" I dare not say too clearly, but the general meaning of Huai'an Hou is clear.
Ye Xuanchen is not a fool, so he naturally understands it, but what he wants to do today is not just to ask Huai'an Hou to ask him to stop the rumors!
"Hou Ye, don't worry, after all, this incident happened in my northern night, and it was rumored to be like this, so I naturally have to take care of it. But after a while, I'm more curious about how the events of that night got out!"
It seems unintentional, but in fact, what Ye Xuanchen wants is to hope that they will focus on other things now.
Obviously, Ye Xuanchen's words also made Huai'an Hou and Mu Lanzhi notice, approaching their purpose of entering the palace this time was not simply to let Ye Xuanchen stop the rumors!
Quietly gave Huai'an Hou a look, Mu Lanzhi continued to pretend to be very weak, and her shoulders shook twice from time to time, as if she had been greatly wronged.
But this time, she was really wronged.
But did she Mu Lanzhi ever think about why that kind of thing happened to her, if it wasn't for what she had done too much before, how could Mu Yunlan be the kind of person who hurt innocents!
So she Mu Lanzhi is completely self-inflicted!
After Huai'an Hou received Mu Lanzhi's eyes, he followed Ye Xuanchen's words and pushed the boat down the river: "Originally, we were also very curious about this, but this is not Yunshu Country after all, so it is not easy to check, if the emperor doesn't mind, can you send someone to check!"
Heh, this old man is really a good way, what I am waiting for is your words. Ye Xuanchen was very happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he pretended to be dressed and pondered for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "Since the Hou Ye has said so, I can't let you receive grievances in my northern night, so let's investigate!"
Turning his head, Ye Xuanchen glanced at Yu Ge, who was looking at him pretending to be there, but with an expressionless face, and wanted to touch his nose, but considering that there were outsiders here after all, he still stopped.
"In that case, then I will personally investigate this matter, after all, this incident happened in my Northern Night Country. Go and call the leader of the inn that night. Give a seat to Huai'an Hou and Miss Mu!"
After all, the person Ye Xuanchen was looking for would not be stupid enough to wait in the palace for him to summon, so it took a lot of time to wait for the person who led the team to come.
"The last general will knock on Your Majesty!"
"Get up and speak! I ask you, how did you arrange the events of that night?"
After the team leader stood up, he looked at Huai'an Hou and Mu Lanzhi who were sitting there, and knew what night Ye Xuanchen was asking.
"Back to Your Majesty, at the end of that night, I would have patrolled the post house as arranged. But suddenly I heard the sound of catching a thief from Huai'an Hou, so I rushed over!"
Next, he told everything that happened that night and his own arrangements.
That night, after he found out about Mu Lanzhi and Yan Shaohong, the matter of catching thieves became a little different.
Thinking of the seriousness of this matter, the team leader knew that the matter of Mu Lanzhi and Wanyan Shaohong could not be passed on, so he didn't care about any thieves, and began to order his subordinates to convey his orders.
Anyone who patrolled the inn that night was not allowed to have contact with the outside world for a period of time to ensure that the matter was not spread out.
And those people can't go out, as for everything used in the post house, in fact, others don't know, they are all dumb people who don't know a single big word, so even if you want to pass on what happened in the post house through those people, it's impossible.
And in those days, as long as there were people in the post house who had contact with the outside world, he would send someone to check it carefully.
So speaking of this, it is enough to show that what happened to Wanyan Shaohong and Mu Lanzhi that night has nothing to do with the people in the post house.
In other words, those rumors in the market did not spread through the people in the post house.
Hearing this, Huai'an Hou nodded in agreement, in the past few days, he has seen everything that the leader has done, and the people in the post house have indeed not gone out, but their own people have been in contact with the outside world because of that incident.
But if you think about it this way, it seems that except for the people in the post house itself, it seems that the people of Tianxu Kingdom have never gone out!
The only people who went out were King Xuan and Princess Xuan, who had been summoned to the palace before that incident, but after they returned, they had never left here.
Now that the matter has come to this, Huai'an Hou knows that everything that Ye Xuanchen can do for them has been done, after all, he is the emperor, and he said that he would personally investigate this matter, but it is impossible for him to really investigate.
So Huai'an Hou thought about it carefully, then got up and said: "Since this is the case, then thank the emperor, but the rumor ......"
"The rumors, Master Hou is relieved, but I feel that at this time, in fact, it is a little inconvenient for you to stay in the north night. I don't mean anything else, but it's been a bit long since I delayed today, and I still have an excerpt to see!"
"Then let's quit first!"
Hearing Ye Xuanchen say that he still had a fold to see, Huai'an Hou naturally wouldn't stay here with a dead face, and in the whole process, Mu Lanzhi was very calm except for shaking twice from time to time, but no one knew what she was thinking.
It wasn't until after leaving the palace that Mu Lanzhi spoke: "Master Hou, how credible is what the Northern Night Emperor said?"
"All!"
"What? all? How is it possible? Could it be that after that night, no one in the inn left?"
Nodding, Huai'an Hou sighed, and then said: "Indeed, I have sent people to observe in the past few days, and what the person who led the team said is indeed true.
I didn't lose anything, but who the thief was, no one knows. And what happened that night, it is estimated that no one from Tianxu Kingdom was involved, because they were also very quiet over there these days!"
After saying this, even if Huai'an Hou was suspicious, he couldn't find any evidence.
Thinking that if this matter was really done by someone from Xiliang Kingdom, Huai'an Hou's eyes darkened, and he thought of some possibility!
Could it be that their people gave Mu Hong a warning!
No one knew that not long after Huai'an Hou and Mu Lanzhi left the palace, Mu Yunlan and Chu Qian had already received the news from Ye Xuanchen, and no one knew how the news came about.
But all this has been done unknowingly, not to mention Wanyan Shaohong and Mu Lanzhi, whose roots are not in the Northern Night Kingdom, even Ye Xuanchen has to sigh at the awesomeness of this uncle of his!
Therefore, some of the credit here is actually on Ye Tianning's head, which was personally requested by his daughter, he didn't dare to do anything bad, so he naturally had to do his best.
Anyway, as soon as today passes, this seed has been buried in the hearts of Mu Lanzhi and Huai'an Hou, as for how this seed will grow in the future, it is none of her business.
And I believe that on Xiliang's side, Wanyan Shaohong's attitude towards Yun Shu now will be much worse than before!
People are like this, if they only cooperate because of interests, there will be some gaps between them after all!
