Chapter 257: The True Purpose

"Where is that man now?" As soon as Mu Chenyu heard that the arsonist had been caught, he directly asked where Xiao Yuren was.

Xiao Yu didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Master, although we found the arsonist, when we found out, the person had already committed suicide by poisoning. ”

In other words, there is no proof of death.

"What other clues did he have?" Hearing that the person was dead, Mu Chenyu frowned and felt that this matter was really too coincidental.

It's like someone has already set a trap and is waiting for them to get inside.

"The other party is too cautious, his subordinates have checked the arsonist's body except for all kinds of scars, there is not a single mark on his body, and I don't know who is so ruthless to do such a thing."

Mu Chenyu listened to his report, his white jade-like fingers rhythmically tapped on the tabletop, and suddenly thought of something and sneered: "I can't think of anyone else in this matter except him." ”

"You're talking about Prince Min?" As soon as Xiao Yu heard it, he could tell that the person he was talking about was Prince Min Mu Du.

Also, if the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion is ruined, it will also be good for him.

Xiao Yu thought like this, but Mu Chenyu's thoughts were not on the murderer, and he was worried about Shangguan Juan's safety in his heart.

Mu Jue is ruthless, and it is very likely that he will attack Shangguan Juan, so he will protect her every step in the future.

Mu Chenyu didn't find any more clues, and he couldn't leave Shangguan Juan for too long so as not to arouse her suspicion, so he could only simply let Xiao Yu take precautions, and he turned around and left the inn and returned to Ninghou Mansion.

When he came back, Shangguan Juan asked Mu Chenyu with concern, and then asked him to find a way to inquire about how Ning Hou was doing.

If it weren't for Mu Chenyu carrying a soothing incense on her body and lighting it for her to sleep well, it is estimated that Shangguan Juan would not be able to rest all day.

After letting her rest, Mu Chenyu didn't leave, just sat in front of her bed and guarded Shangguan Juan, and this guard was kept until dawn.

When Shangguan Juan opened his eyes and woke up, he saw that he felt much better, but after his thoughts returned, he thought of Ning Hou, and she wanted to turn over and get out of bed.

As a result, she moved too much, but she woke up Mu Chenyu, who had just slept for a while.

"Miss, are you awake?" Mu Chenyu woke up and saw her about to get out of bed and called out to her.

Shangguan Juan didn't bother to deal with him, but directly found the housekeeper to ask if Ning Hou had ever come back, and when he got a negative answer, Shangguan Juan immediately became anxious.

"Vanilla, prepare the carriage for Miss Ben's dressing."

After thinking about it for a while, Shangguan Juan made a decision, asking Vanilla to quickly prepare a carriage to enter the palace, she had to go to the palace to find out the news, otherwise she would always be in the Ninghou Mansion and would only make her more anxious.

She made a sudden decision, it was already half an hour later when Vanilla was preparing the carriage, and Mu Chenyu saw that she had calmed down and did not ask to stop her from entering the palace.

Instead, he followed Shangguan Juan into the palace together, because he also had other things to do to enter the palace, and it was more convenient for him to follow Shangguan Juan into the palace.

In this way, Shangguan Juan entered the palace with his front foot to inquire about the news, and Mu Chenyu also followed her into the palace together, but his purpose in entering the palace was not only to accompany Shangguan Juan to come together, but also for other purposes, because he wanted to know if the situation in the palace had changed.

He followed Shangguan all the way to the prince's bedroom and did not speak, but looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and felt a little strange in his heart.

He always felt that the faces he saw now were all people he didn't know.

He may not be sure if there were any changes in the number of people in other palaces, but this was his dormitory, and he knew how many people were inside.

Thinking of this, his eyes were a little sharp, because he finally discovered that the so-called strangeness was that the person who was originally Prince Min Mu Jie's eyeliner was now missing!

The more she thought about it, the more ugly his face became, and if Shangguan Juan looked carefully, she would find that something was wrong, but unfortunately her mind was not in this now.

What she is most worried about now is Ning Hou's safety, she is afraid that Ning Hou will be blamed for the bombing of the Ministry of Shangshu's Mansion, so she missed the opportunity to discover Xiao Jiu's true face.

At this moment, Shangguan Juan originally wanted to visit the prince in the name of visiting the prince, but was stopped by the palace maid and said that the prince was now sick and could not see guests.

She didn't think much about it when she heard this, thinking that the prince was really sick.

Just when she wanted to leave with Vanilla and Xiao Jiu, the queen's people came to her, saying that the queen wanted to see her, and she could only follow the queen's people halfway to the queen's palace to meet her.

"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother." Even though Shangguan Juan was anxious, she didn't forget to salute the queen.

The queen saw that her face softened a lot: "What kind of salute do you kid, hurry up." ”

"It is the honor of the courtiers to be kind to the courtiers, but the courtiers still can't forget this ceremony."

Shangguan Juan got up, and the queen called her to come forward and patted the back of her hand: "What a good boy, this palace didn't mistake you." ”

"Niangniang, in fact, the courtiers came this time because they wanted to ...... something" Shangguan Juan didn't say anything, but was interrupted by the queen: "Accompany the palace to the imperial garden for a walk, and put aside the other things." ”

Shangguan Juan couldn't disobey her will, because the queen had already taken a step ahead of her, and she didn't give her a chance to refuse.

So she had to keep up.

The queen walked in front but not very fast, Shangguan Juan quickly caught up, she said that she really went to the imperial garden to shop, and really went to the imperial garden to shop.

No, but the two of them walked to the Imperial Garden with half a stick of incense.

"Wanwan came into the palace not only to see the prince, but to find out the news, right?" There was no one around, and the queen directly said Shangguan Juan's thoughts.

On the contrary, it made her a little embarrassed, but Ning Hou, who thought of the night and did not return overnight, still nodded: "Niangniang is really smart, and the careful thinking of the courtiers cannot escape the eyes of Niangniang." ”

"You're sincere, so you're not worried that Bengong will punish you in anger?"

The queen's tone was very calm when she said this, so that she couldn't see what she wanted to express at the moment.

She didn't play any tricks and didn't defend herself, because she knew very well in her heart that the queen had never seen any tricks in the palace, and her little careful thinking and small means were not enough to see in front of her.

So she told the truth directly: "If Niangniang wants to blame the courtiers, the courtiers will never complain, just ask Niangniang to help the fathers of a group of courtiers." ”

The queen didn't get angry when she heard her words, but her impression of her was much better, as Shangguan Juan thought, what she didn't like the most was a woman who pretended to be smart and self-righteous.

Although she is smart, she also knows how to measure, which still wins the queen's heart.

"Get up, if this palace wants to punish you, you won't be here for a long time, I brought you here today to help you inquire about your father's affairs, but whether you can inquire depends on what you do."
