I see.

It seems that Longquan Temple asked the teahouse to compile the Kong Ming lantern, which not only increased the number of Kong Ming lanterns, but also advanced the time, which is definitely not a coincidence.

After inquiring, Su Mujin learned that the reason why there were so many people praying in Longquan Temple this year was because the new abbot had served the emperor in the palace before. has served the emperor in the palace, and the palace must be inseparable, so it seems that things have finally been a little frowned.

Because the emperor only gave her two days to solve the case, Su Mujin went up the mountain on the same day. By the time we went up the mountain, it was getting late. On the moon, almost all the people in the temple are asleep, and only the Buddha hall is still lit up.

Looking at the faint light in front of the Buddha hall, Su Mujin instructed the people on both sides to wait outside the door, and climbed over the wall and entered the temple by himself. Because it is on a mountain, the area of this temple is not very large, and after entering the temple, you can see all the buildings in the temple at a glance.

The door of the Buddhist hall was not taken care of, and Su Mujin saw a monk sitting there practicing, so he couldn't help pursing his lips and walked over quietly.

In the Buddha hall, a monk who looked like he was about twenty years old sighed silently, he folded his hands, and gently said to the Buddha standing in front of him: "Amitabha." ”

After saying this, the monk rang the wooden fish again, intending to continue today's work. But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps behind him.

The monk was shocked, and suddenly looked back, only to find that the person who had come was a strange woman. This woman looks very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere, but where she has seen it, the monk can't answer for a while.

He stood up and said vigilantly: "The donor is late at night, how could he suddenly come here?" ”

The man did not ask her how she had come in, but first asked her what she had come to here, indicating that there must have been a woman who had visited at this time before. Thinking of this, Su Mujin's heart moved, and she hurriedly blessed the monk, and said tentatively: "My girl asked me to tell you that the regent has been investigating tightly recently, and you must keep the matter of Kong Minglan secret, no matter who asks, you must not say a word." ”

"It should be." Seeing that it was his own family, the monk breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over slowly, and said, "She...... Did you send something? ”

Su Mujin shook her head: "This is not true. ”

Her guess was correct. No, it should have been the old woman who told her that it was true. The maidservants around the queen are not clean. It's just that she never thought that the maid would have a relationship with this monk.

In order to find out if she had made a mistake with her goal, Su Mujin said tentatively: "It's you, do you have something to give to the girl?" Recently, the palace has been checking tightly, and I will send a message again when I go back, but I don't know when. ”

The monk hesitated, hurriedly walked to the pear case, took out a piece of rice paper, and began to write things. Su Mujin walked up to her and looked at the paper he was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised. This paper is the paper of the Kong Ming lantern that she has not found in many places.

After writing, the monk handed her the paper and said with a nervous face: "Please go back and tell her, I will wait for her." ”

Taking the letter, Su Mujin nodded quietly. But he said in his heart: The person in front of him is still a good man who values affection.

With the monk's letter, Su Mujin hurriedly stepped on an osmanthus tree and flew out of the temple. After leaving the temple, Su Mujin sent his subordinates to keep an eye on the situation in Longquan Temple, and he went down the mountain.

There was still one day left before the day designated by the emperor, Su Mujin hurriedly went down the mountain, and entered the palace with the monk's letter. The content of the letter written by the monk is similar to the words of separation. And the words were sad, Su Mujin couldn't help but want to cry when she saw it.

Fortunately, when Su Mujin found the palace maid, she didn't run away. Seeing Su Mujin turning back to look for her, the palace maid couldn't help asking, "Madam, did something happen?" ”

The expression on the palace maid's face was very natural, so natural that people couldn't see half of the clues. If it weren't for meeting the monk, she wouldn't have been able to connect the person in front of her with the murderer.

Su Mujin said: "That's the case, someone sent me to send you a letter." ”

"Letter?" Hearing this, the palace maid's face changed significantly. She forced herself to calm down and said with a smile: "The slave is just a slave, how can someone write a letter to the slave?" ”

Su Mujin took out the letter handed over to her by the monk and motioned for the palace maid to come and see it. The palace maid hadn't answered the letter yet, and just by glancing at the paper, her face immediately changed.

She took two steps back and said with a far-fetched smile: "Whose letter is this?" The slave has no father and no mother, who did the lady hear that some letters were written to the slave? ”

Su Mujin raised her eyebrows, opened the letter in her hand by herself, and motioned to the maidservant to come and see: "The word Xiangyun is written in this place, I heard the old man in the palace say that Xiangyun is your other name, isn't it you?" ”

"Yes...... It's me. ”

Sure enough, I confessed. In fact, before that, she was not sure that the letter was written to her, and the reason why she gave the letter to her was completely because the blind cat touched the dead mouse. She had no idea what her nickname was. What can be said is that if she dies and doesn't admit it, she can't do anything about her.

Now that he has confessed, Su Mujin said: "I already know that Kong Minglan was put by the monk, so the two of you teamed up to kill the queen and blamed me?" ”

"No...... Not me. The palace maid's face was ugly, she shook her head, "I was bumped into by the queen mother with the monk, I begged her not to punish me, but she insisted on killing me, and finally, I pushed her, she touched the corner of the table, and let me run away." Later, I heard that the queen had been assassinated. ”

Speaking of this, the palace maid suddenly knelt down and sighed: "I really didn't mean to, the murderer is not me, I beg you, madam, please believe me." ”

Su Mujin pursed her lips, this palace maid's eyes were hazy with tears, and she didn't look like she could lie. But the problem is that Kong Mingdeng really can't escape from the monk, and they do blame her.

Thinking like this, Su Mujin said, "Do you want to live, or do you want to die?" ”

"I want to live, I want to live!" There is no reason why anyone in this world is willing to take the initiative to die.

"Okay." Su Mujin pulled her up from the ground, "I'll just trust you once." "A little palace maid never had the courage to kill the queen, so the breakthrough in this matter is still with the monk," Let's go up the mountain together and take this matter together, don't worry, if it weren't for your hands, I would never have wronged you." ”

When she followed this girl up the mountain, Su Mujin did not forget to ask her subordinates to bring a message to Yun Jingyao. By the time Yun Jingyao received the news and went to find Su Mujin, Su Mujin had already gone up the mountain.

However, it is a little strange on this mountain, Su Mujin always feels that Xiangyun is a little fast, and it is strange to go up the mountain with her.
