Chapter 191: The Little Princess's Infatuation
The old palace maid knew that she couldn't avoid this catastrophe, so in the end, she knelt down in front of Mu Yihan, and cried bitterly: "Fourth prince, the slave maid is Dai'er who has served Queen Su!" Slaves and maids are also persecuted to do those unseemly things, as a last resort, I hope you see that the slaves and maids have served Queen Su wholeheartedly, and you and the eighth prince have been seen from childhood to adulthood, forgive the slaves and maids! ”
Mu Yihan saw that she was indeed Dai'er, and thought of her previous benefits to himself and the Eighth Prince, and his heart softened.
But thinking that she personally participated in the harm to Queen Su, his heart involuntarily hardened, and his eyes also crossed a touch of yin owl.
"Say, who instructed you to frame my mother?"
"Yes, yes......" Dai'er hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind, and confided word by word, "It was Empress Chen who asked the slave maid to do this!" ”
Sure enough, it was her!
Mu Yihan's hands clenched little by little, and hatred grew spontaneously little by little, until it filled his entire chest.
Recalling that at the beginning, after the scandal of Queen Su's "red apricots out of the wall" was exposed, Queen Chen was even more heartbroken than Queen Su, only saying that Queen Su was like her own sister, and she was more sad than anyone else when Queen Su had an accident......
At that time, Mu Yihan stupidly regarded Empress Chen as his dearest person and cried in her arms for a long time......
It turned out that it was all a scam.
From beginning to end, it was Queen Chen who arranged and planned behind the scenes, and used it to deceive the emperor and the world, so that she could replace herself and favor the harem!
Scenes passed under his heart, and his heart was dripping with blood, cold to the bone, and painful to the heart and lungs.
Since Dai'er admitted that she was instructed by Empress Chen, she simply vomited and confessed everything she had suppressed in her heart for ten years.
"At the beginning, Queen Su's mother family was weak and had a low status, but she made great achievements for the country, and her high achievements were quite suspicious of the emperor. Queen Su saw this, but she had no choice but to often remind her relatives to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to behave too ostentatious. ”
At that time, Chen Guifei was the person trusted by Queen Su, and the two of them were like sisters, and Queen Su told Chen Guifei all her thoughts. Chen Guifei knew the estrangement between the emperor and Queen Su, so she thought of striking while the iron was hot and sprinkling a handful of salt on the emperor's wound, so that he could really act and put Queen Su to death. ”
Dai'er wiped a handful of tears, sighed heavily, and continued: "When Concubine Chen Guifei found me and asked the slave maid to stuff some letters into Empress Su's secret box, the slave maid knew that these letters must be unfavorable to Empress Su, and refused to help her do this. But, it's ......."
As she spoke, tears welled up again, and she said bitterly: "However, she threatened my mother and brother outside the palace, and if the slaves and maids refused to do so, they would die without a place to bury." ”
Mu Yihan's eyes became deeper and deeper, and his voice was as cold as the ice of the nine cold days, "Is your so-called letter a heartfelt correspondence between Commander Yu and my mother?" Those letters, but they were really written by Commander Yu himself? Is my mother's handwriting also copied by others? ”
Under Mu Yihan's aggressive questioning, Dai Er replied in panic: "This slave didn't know about it, because the slave maid only put these letters and tokens in the secret box according to Empress Chen's instructions, and the rest of Empress Chen didn't tell the slave maid. It wasn't until the day of the incident that the slave and maid knew what was written in these letters, and those tokens turned out to be those of Commander Yu, and the slave and maid were also very shocked. ”
Mu Yihan looked at her steadily, seeing that she was at a loss and grief-stricken, it didn't look like she was pretending, thinking that what she said also had some truth, and it was not good to continue to ask.
Just when he wanted to leave without saying a word, Dai Er suddenly said: "Fourth prince, the slave maid still has a word, I don't know if to say it?" ”
Mu Yihan stopped and said lightly: "Say." ”
Dai'er smacked her lips and said cautiously: "During the ten years that the slave maid has been waiting for Empress Chen, I have heard her often talk about the former Shen Changzai. It seems that this Shen Changzai really had a personal affair with Commander Yu, and also exchanged letters with each other, and even often met in the harem in private, and was caught by the queen mother. ”
"It's just strange that this matter didn't settle later, it is said that Shen Changzai was not favored by the emperor, and Empress Chen kindly asked the emperor to let her go back to her hometown. Since then, there has been no whereabouts of Shen Changzai in the harem. ”
Mu Yihan's eyes flashed, as if he had captured something.
"What else do you have to say to this king?" He asked again.
"The slave has nothing more to say." Dai Er said, and sighed again, "If what the slave said can help you, the prince, it can be regarded as the slave and the maid will atone for their sins, right?" I only hope that Queen Su's soul will not come to the slave and maid every day, so that the slave and maid can't sleep at night, there is no moment of peace, the slave and maid are really frightened, life is better than death......"
Mu Yi snorted coldly and threw his sleeves away.
Dai'er followed a few steps behind and cried and begged: "I beg the prince to be merciful, don't spread the words of the slave and maid, otherwise, the slave and maid's family will die without a place to be buried......"
Mu Yihan didn't say a word, and went straight out of the Lotus Garden.
Walking to the path in the palace, he only felt that there were so many ghosts and ghosts in the four corners, all of them were waving their teeth and claws at him, pointing and laughing unscrupulously.
Mu Yihan, Mu Yihan, don't you feel sad that you have been deceived by the enemy for so many years?
Don't you feel that your mother died unjustly, and you can't vindicate her, don't you feel that you are too cowardly and incompetent?
How can your mother's spirit in the sky be able to smile at Jiuquan and die a well-deserved death......
As he pondered, a figure suddenly fell from behind a nearby tree.
Mu Yihan subconsciously dodged backwards, and the man swept past her and fell towards the bluestone pavement on the ground.
"Oops, it hurts!"
A crisp and pleasant voice, mixed with grievances, is exceptionally clear in this silent night.
Mu Yihan looked at it fixedly, and saw that the person who was covering his arms on the ground, and was extremely sad, was actually Princess Yanxi of the Ember Country.
He frowned slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Didn't Her Royal Highness go back to her palace to rest, how could she be here?" ”
Princess Yanxi rubbed her arms for a while, and finally stood up with the support of the maid, adjusted her makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were amorous, and she glanced at Mu Yihan with a look of anticipation, and said shyly: "The slave family has just arrived, and I can't sleep after tossing and turning, so I want to come out for a walk." Where did Cheng think, just now he accidentally stepped on something behind the tree and fell over. ”
"It's you, the fourth prince, you don't know how to hold the slave family, so that the slave family can fall to the ground, so it's not embarrassing!" With resentment, she stomped her foot and added coquettishly.
