Enjoying singing and dancing until midnight, slightly drunk, Mu Yihan thought of Ye Yuner the most.

Without Ye Yun'er by his side, he always felt that something was missing, and it was very dull and tasteless.

He felt that the hall was too noisy and too stuffy, so he got up and went out, and walked alone under the dim palace lamp, trying to wake up his mind by the cool night breeze.

Before he knew it, he was walking to an abandoned palace.

He looked up and saw that the plaque had the words "Lotus Fragrance Garden" written on it, and he stopped suddenly.

How did he walk here?

Recalling that Hexiangyuan was once the bedroom of her mother, Queen Su, she used to play with him and her younger brother here, teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and enjoy flowers on a boat with them...... That burst of laughter still lingers in my ears, so real and so sad.

A heavy pain welled up in his chest, and he subconsciously walked into the palace, struggling through the knee-high grass.

Although this place has been abandoned since the death of Queen Su, the doors and windows are dilapidated, and the cobwebs are all over and over again, but the scenes that were clean and tidy and full of vitality in the past are still passed over and over again in Mu Yihan's heart, and they are vivid.

"Queen Mother, if you can hear the words of the slave and maid in the heavens, please forgive the slave and let the slave and maid go! The slave has dreamed of you every day for the past ten years, and you always want the slave's life, and the slave and the maid have always woken up from nightmares...... The slave is really remorseful, and I don't know how to make up for my past mistakes and win your forgiveness......"

This subtle voice entered Mu Yihan's ears, like the cry of a wandering spirit, which made him immediately feel a chill down his spine, giving birth to a burst of creepy.

The wine had subsided for the most part, and he thought of something, and drew closer and closer to the voice, listening intently.

As the sound approached, Mu Yihan also faintly saw a glimmer of fire.

In front of the faintly shimmering firelight, there was an old palace maid with gray hair, burning paper money towards the West, and she was crying profusely, very sad.

And on the big rock in the west, there is a thing.

When Mu Yihan saw that thing clearly, his pupils widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

This is a jadeite bracelet with gold thread.

Originally, this thing was rare in the harem, and many concubines had such valuable jewelry.

But this bracelet is different, somewhere on it, there is a very obvious "Su" character carved.

Mu Yihan could see it clearly, and there was a word "Su" on it.

This is exactly his mother's favorite jewelry during her lifetime, and it is the heirloom of the Su family!

After the death of Queen Su, Mu Yihan and others searched for such a thing, but they couldn't find it.

But how did this old palace maid own the things left by the former queen?

Could it be that she has something to do with Queen Su's death?

Thinking of this, Mu Yihan became more and more concentrated, and just wanted to hear if this old palace maid could tell a little clue and unravel the fog that had been lingering in his heart.

The old palace maid didn't know that someone was eavesdropping on herself, so she just blindly buried her head and cried, burning paper money while choking and complaining, "Niangniang, the slave maid was also forced to do something to frame and slander you. Niangniang, for the sake of the slave and maid who accompanied and waited for you for many years, you don't remember the villain, let the slave and maid go......"

Mu Yihan "banged" in his mind, and suddenly understood something.

He vaguely remembered that his mother had two personal maids before her death, one of them was named Dai'er, and after her mother's death, she was photographed by Empress Chen, who became the queen, and entered Empress Chen's palace.

In a trance, he thought of Dai'er, who was still young at that time, from this elderly palace maid.

Could it be that she is Daile?

At that time, Empress Su was placed on an affair with the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, and this trumped-up crime was convicted by the emperor and pressed into the prison and sentenced to death.

This incident has become an unspeakable shame for the royal family, and it has also become an indelible scar in the hearts of Mu Yihan and Mu Yiyun.

At that time, Mu Yihan was only eight or nine years old, but he was already very sensible.

He didn't believe that his mother, who had always been dignified and steady, and was very infatuated with the emperor, would do such an immoral thing.

But the letters, tokens, and many human and material evidence exchanged between the concubine and Commander Yu were like overwhelming rainstorms covering them, making her powerless to appeal and fight back, and even more so that others could not listen to her defense, thinking that this was a definitive and irrefutable "truth".

Dai'er is one of the extremely powerful "human witnesses", and many of the evidence she provided to the emperor and others.

At that time, she was also praised and rewarded by Empress Chen as an example of "righteous annihilation".

In the end, the mother concubine was executed by the emperor, the Yu family was wiped out, and the two brothers became the down-and-out princes who were not treated well and were laughed at in private.

No matter what kind of achievements Mu Yihan makes, in the eyes of the emperor, it is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

The past is like smoke, and like a gust of wind, whistling through Mu Yihan's heart.

In a blink of an eye, he thought from the words of the old palace maid, there seems to be something strange in this!

Perhaps, the mother concubine was really wronged as he thought?

And this old palace maid was one of the people who participated in the conspiracy at that time!

There were waves of excitement in his chest little by little, Mu Yihan clenched his hands tightly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and strode up.

The old palace maid was prostrate on the ground, kneeling and kowtowing to the jade bracelet that was enshrined with good wine and food, when she suddenly heard movement behind her, she was hit with a violent wit, and turned around with a rolling belt.

When she saw Mu Yihan appear in front of her like a ghost, that serious face looked particularly gloomy in the dark night, and the flickering fire made it even more terrifying, and his bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on her, as if he wanted to take her life.

She let out an "ahh

"Four, four princes!"

She thought of something, and hurriedly shook her head like a wave, "The slave and the maid are talking nonsense, the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and I hope that the fourth prince will be gracious and let the slave and maid go, right?" ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly stood up, and was about to pass Mu Yihan and walk outside the courtyard.

"Stop!"

Mu Yihan approached her step by step, and said without a beak: "This king has something to ask you, if you are honest, this king will let you go this time." If you dare to hide something......"

He paused for a moment, and continued to say imposingly: "This king has no choice but to send you to Dali Temple, even if you can't punish the real behind-the-scenes mastermind, you will never come out unharmed." In order to avoid worries, that person will not leave you alive. You've thought it through. ”

The old palace maid was all over, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes lingered as if she was struggling fiercely.
