It turned out that Yang Mubai did not return to the palace today, and she had disappeared.

The one in the palace is fake. Although they looked exactly the same, Pei Shengyuan still suspected it when he was holding her, and when he kissed her, he was sure that this was fake.

Pei Shengyuan hurriedly came out to find it, at this time, where is there still a shadow, according to the guard, she must have disappeared in Qingluofang, and she was transferred here.

When they heard this, they were all shocked, could it be a human skin mask again?

Zhang Shuo said: "The queen mother should have been dropped from the cloth shop, I'll take a look." "After saying that, I went to the store, and I checked everywhere, and there was nothing suspicious, it was just a small shop."

Zhang Shuo called the guards and asked, "The queen is here to pick up cloth today, can you follow the whole process?" ”

The guard said, "We are guarding outside the door, and there are no suspicious people. There were many people in the store, and the queen returned to the palace not long after she was selected. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "How many people entered the store from the queen's mother today?" Draw them shorthand. ”

The Imperial Study: Then all the people went back to the palace. The guards couldn't remember exactly how many people there were, but they just drew all the impressions, and there were more than a dozen of them, both men and women.

At this time, one of the guards said: "There is something suspicious, a woman wearing a veil came to the store today, and she squeezed the queen mother down, and then she helped the queen mother up and kept apologizing." The queen did not pursue it, so the matter was dismissed. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "It seems that it was premeditated, otherwise how could a small cloth shop be crowded with people at once, and it is estimated that the woman wearing the veil is replacing the queen mother." ”

Pei Shengyuan looked at the portrait wearing the veil and couldn't see his face clearly. Know that this is definitely the case. Then he said: "It must be out of the city, the soldiers are divided into four ways, chase!" "There are four avenues outside the city gates, which lead to different cities.

But they chased to the fork in the road outside the city, and saw a carriage not far away, tethered under a tree.

They walked over to check, and there were veils and clothes on them.

Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, it seems that they are provoking us. The queen's clothes have been changed and she has been sent out of the city in disguise. This man is in the vast sea, how to find it. The queen's body is definitely not free, and her whereabouts are unknown. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "It seems that the fake queen is going to be tried." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, she is just a chess piece, and she may not know the whereabouts of the queen's mother." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "I know, but at present, the clue is only her." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, maybe you can try to tempt. ”

After Pei Shengyuan heard this, he nodded.

Yang Mubai was in a speeding carriage. She was dizzy, and when she woke up for a while, she saw a man in black sitting next to her, with a cold face and a long figure. Leaning next to him was a long sword. Then he asked, "Who are you, and where are you going to take me?" ”

I felt something stuck to my face, the same as the human skin mask I was wearing before, and I just wanted to tear it off.

The man said, "My name is Wanyue, and we'll go where you should be." Don't make a noise, or you'll die. That mask is to protect your life, if you want to live, don't tear it off, be obedient, or in an instant, you will die without a whole body. ”

Yang Mubai stopped talking, she knew that she had been kidnapped.

Then he asked, "Do you want money, or do you want my life?" ”

Wanyue said, "I don't want money, and I don't want your life. I'll take you where you should be, and when the time comes, and you don't cause me trouble, I'll send you back. ”

Yang Mubai felt that this thing was so strange, now was not the time to dwell on this, anyway, she believed that Pei Shengyuan would come to save her.

When he felt hungry, he said, "Do you have anything to eat and drink?" I am hungry. ”

Wanyue felt that this woman was too bold, and she was kidnapped and wanted to eat. However, her non-crying and non-fussing temperament is still helpful for hurrying.

So she had her bring her dry food and water.

After eating and drinking, Yang Mubai also thought about it. This person must have known her identity, so he made her disguise herself as someone else. But I don't know why. I think it must not be for money, otherwise I will directly let Pei Shengyuan ransom people with money, but he can take a lot of money.

Then he asked, "You are neither for money nor for power, what are you kidnapping me for?" Where are you going to take me? ”

Wanyue said: "This is not what you should know, what you need to know, I will tell you." Be quiet now, or your identity will be revealed, and you will die. ”

Yang Mubai asked again: "Who wants my life?" ”

Wanyue said: "Your identity is revealed, and someone will want your life, and this person may be me." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Then let me ask you a recent question: I cooperate with you, when will you send me back to the palace?" ”

Wanyue said: "When the time comes, I don't know now. ”

Yang Mubai: "......"

She didn't ask anymore, because she knew that the waning moon didn't have any rights, and it would be futile to ask again.

He leaned back in the carriage and slept.

Pei Shengyuan returned to Fengyi Palace. The fake Yang Mubai didn't sleep, as if he was waiting for Pei Shengyuan.

Seeing Pei Shengyuan coming back, he immediately ran over, hugged Pei Shengyuan and said, "I thought you weren't coming!" ”

Pei Shengyuan scratched her nose and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, so I came over." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, then let's rest!" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Queen, won't you help me change my clothes?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the concubines will immediately change the emperor's clothes." ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Queen, do you love me?" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, of course the concubine loves you." ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Then tell me, where is she?" I can't live without her. ”

Yang Mubai's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said in a voice: "Who is the emperor talking about?" ”

Pei Shengyuan asked coldly, "You tell me, where is Yang Mubai?" Where did you get her? ”

Yang Mubai said tremblingly: "The emperor forgives the sin, but the people don't know." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Then tell me everything you know!" ”

Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang, Qiu Yue and Yang Cheng also walked in.

Yang Mubai said slowly: "The folk girl is a survivor of the slaughter of Yecheng, her name is Wu Xiaolan, when they slaughtered the village, when they saw me, they stuffed me into the carriage, saying that it would be useful in the future."

Then I was sent to a house where I was asked to learn the other woman's walking and habits every day, and even the sound. There was a masked woman teaching me. If I don't learn, or if I don't follow, they will kill me, and I am so scared that I can only keep studying. I will do whatever they say. Later, in order to make me obedient, they gave me a poison and an antidote every ten days, otherwise my whole body would be in pain. If you don't take the antidote in time, you will slowly vomit blood and die. The folk girls tried, but they couldn't bear it, so they could only be at their mercy all the time.

The folk girl studied for two years, and the woman said that she could already confuse the real with the fake, so she asked the folk girl to come to the capital.

Today, the folk girl wore a veil and bumped into the queen's mother, and our people used drugs to stun her. Wrapping her in a veil, the woman took off her outer garment, dressed inside the clothes that the queen mother was wearing now, and then went out of the cloth shop and returned to the palace. When we return to the palace, we will take the queen out again.

That's all I know, and for the rest, where they sent the queen's mother, the people didn't know anything. Please let the emperor know what is going on. ”

Zhang Shuo asked, "After you enter the palace, is there anyone still in contact with you?" ”

Wu Xiaolan said: "There is no one today, they said that if there is a need, someone will contact me, and the antidote will be sent regularly." ”

Zhang Shuo said: "You just pretend that we don't recognize you, and when they contact you, you know what to do, right?" ”

Wu Xiaolan nodded and said, "I know." ”

Pei Shengyuan and his entourage came to the imperial study. Pei Shengyuan was already very anxious and asked, "Where do you think they will take the queen captive?" ”

Xu Lang said: "Your Majesty, if it is to kidnap the queen mother in order to threaten you, we can wait for news and see the conditions they propose." If, if not ......"

Pei Shengyuan repeated: "If not...... If not...... So? ”

Everyone knows that if it weren't for the threat of arresting Yang Mubai, then Yang Mubai would be more than lucky.

Zhang Shuo asked, "Who does the emperor think is most likely to manipulate this matter?" How could that masked woman know the habits of the queen so well? If we hadn't known in advance that the queen mother had disappeared, we wouldn't have seen it. The habits and looks exactly the same. ”

Caring is chaotic, now Pei Shengyuan's heart is full of chaos, he didn't expect this at all just now. Now that I think about it, there is no one else who can know Yang Mubai so well except Zheng Li.

This woman is really bold.

Pei Shengyuan said fiercely: "Zheng Li, go and arrest her." ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Zhang Shuo said: "Concubine Zheng's identity is not ordinary, there is no direct evidence, and she can't act rashly. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "If you delay for a quarter of an hour, the queen will be in more danger, and now I don't care." I'm going to interrogate it myself. ”

After a while, Zheng Li was brought over.

Zheng Li knelt down and saluted: "The concubines greet the emperor, I wish the emperor all the peace, I don't know what the emperor called the concubines to come late at night?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zheng Li, I don't want to waste time, where did you hide Mu Mu?" ”

Zheng Li said: "The concubine doesn't know what the emperor wants? Isn't the queen in Fengyi Palace? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zheng Li, let me ask you again, where did you hide Mu Mu?" My patience is limited, and I haven't treated you badly all these years, so why do this? ”

Zheng Li said: "The concubine didn't do anything. And so it is with death. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zheng Li, what do you want? I can exchange it with you, and you give me back Mu Mu. ”

Zheng Li said: "Is it okay for the concubine to want your love?" After saying that, he sneered.

Everyone looked at each other, which one is this singing.

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zheng Li, what do you mean? ”

Zheng Li said: "The concubine has always loved you, humbly, more and more. You never take it seriously, you only have Yang Mubai in your heart. I don't know where she is, I didn't do it. ”

After a pause, he said: "Someone paid a lot of money for me to train Wu Xiaolan to be the same as Yang Mubai, I guessed that it might be that I wanted to change the tanuki for the prince, thinking that during the time he returned to the palace, she completely monopolized you." So I agreed. ”

"What I can't get, she Yang Mubai can't get either. Every night, someone would pick me up and bring me back at dawn. Since you never cared about us, for so long, we didn't find out. ”

Then he laughed and said, "I think I have trained Wu Xiaolan to be exactly the same as Yang Mubai, why did you still find out?" When did you find out? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Zheng Li, I found out that night, you taught very well, she can be said to be perfectly disguised. But if it's not Mu Mu, how could I not know. ”

Zheng Li said: "That night, did you find out just after entering the palace?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Yes, when she came back from the palace that day, I found out. As long as there is a hug and a kiss, I know that she is not Mu Mu. Tell me, where did you hide Mu Mu? If you don't tell me, it will hurt your family and your children. ”

Zheng Li's face turned pale, and she said sadly: "I don't know when they were replaced, they didn't contact me again after the training, and I don't know anything else." My child, and your child, what can you do to him? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Haven't you seen me when I was unscrupulous? I thought you knew me best. ”

Zhang Shuo asked, "Concubine Zheng, are you helping to train Wu Xiaolan for money?" Are there any other deals? ”

Zheng Li replied: "Commander Zhang is really wise, they not only gave me money, but also promised me. After the matter is completed, help me get rid of Yang Mubai. So, now she's a corpse. Pei Shengyuan, you say, how are you going to deal with me? ”

Zhang Shuo asked: "Concubine Zheng, what you said about getting rid of it, did they say how to get rid of it, and where to get rid of the queen mother?" ”

Zheng Li replied: "They didn't tell me this, they just promised me that after the matter is completed, they will help me get rid of Yang Mubai." Over the years, I've had enough of living in her shadow. I tried to make peace with her, but she ignored me. I want to be her enemy, but I don't even have any chips, it's really pitiful. ”

Pei Shengyuan said to Zheng Li: "We are still looking for Mu Mu, you better burn high incense every day and pray that she is still alive, otherwise I will make your life worse than death." Your child, I will make him worse than dead. ”

Zheng Li said frantically: "Pei Shengyuan, you can do whatever you want with me, let my child go." He's your child, too! It's my fascination, it's my jealousy, but it has nothing to do with our children. You let him go, okay? Please, don't torture our children. Anyway, after all these years, I've seen it through. I'm tired, but I've lived enough. But how innocent is the child? ”

Pei Shengyuan said to Zheng Li: "What are you dissatisfied with all these years? No one embarrass you, you have glory and wealth, which is also your own choice. Why do you blame others now? At the beginning, I said, if you want to marry, I can give you the scenery to marry. If you want to enter the palace, I can give you the position of the concubine, but I don't love you. You accept and choose it all for yourself. You want a child, I'll give you a child, and now you dare to hurt Mu Mu. You tell me that Mu Muhe was a little sorry for you. ”

Zheng Li said: "What I want, not these, I want your love." But no matter how much I give, you can't see it. In the palace, I am filial to the Queen Mother, and I raise children. I do my duty, and I'm waiting for you every day. But every time you come over, you are looking at the child, and I am nothing in your eyes. I just want a little bit of love from you, just a little bit. But you are stingy with the slightest bit of giving. You gave all your love to Yang Mubai, where am I worse than her. She can't even give birth to you.

I am prettier than her, gentler than her, more considerate than her. I put you first in everything I do. Why can't you just see me? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "You will never be as good as her, she is sincere and kind, she can take risks alone and go to Rongcheng to treat the plague, can you do it?" ”

Zheng Li said: "If I were the queen, I could do it. If you love me, I am willing to give my life for you. Even if you don't love me, I still love you, and I can still give my life for you. If you are willing to love me, I can do anything for you. Even if I am sent by heaven, I don't care. ”

Pei Shengyuan said to Zheng Li: "This is the difference between you and her, even if Mu Mu is in your position, he will not do anything to hurt others." She loves me, but she doesn't hurt anyone else by loving me. If I didn't love her, she would leave, sad and sad herself, and she didn't want to dwell on her. She has already ceded the back position to you last time, and you still have a grudge against her, you are too vicious. ”

Zheng Li sneered and said, "She has never been in my place, how can you know what she does?" If it were to come to that day, she might be even more ruthless than I am. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "No, she will never do this. The last time she faked her death and left the palace, it said it all. She can sacrifice herself to Rongcheng, on this point, you will never be able to compare, you say that you will give everything for love, and Mu Mu will never turn love into a bayonet to harm others. Mu Mu's heart will never be trapped by small love. Her heart is even bigger than mine. ”

Zheng Li laughed and said, "Pei Shengyuan, you are so pitiful. Yang Mubai is so open-minded, just because she doesn't love you. If she loves you, she won't be jealous. There is no one whose love does not contain jealousy. You ask your heart, if Yang Mubai has other men around him, will you be jealous? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "I admire her and love me, she can't have other men......"

Zheng Li said proudly at this time: "You already have the answer in your heart, Yang Mubai doesn't love you at all." She is a hard-hearted woman, and she loves no one. I can't get love, and you Pei Shengyuan will never get it, Yang Mubai is dead, I let them humiliate her to death. Go find her corpse! ”

Qiu Yue said: "Your Majesty, let me bear this woman." It was she who hurt the queen. ”

Yang Cheng pulled Qiu Yue and said, "Qiu Yue, don't be impulsive!" ”

Qiu Yue said excitedly: "I don't have impulsiveness, it's the queen mother she harmed." I should have killed this woman a long time ago, and kept such a scourge to harm my young lady in the end. ”

Yang Cheng held Qiu Yue in his arms. said: "Qiuyue, we will definitely find the queen mother." ”

Zhang Shuo glanced at Qiu Yue distressedly, and then said: "It turned out that the carriage was outside the city, and it is estimated that it has left the city." Tomorrow, let local officials record the floating people, and all non-local personnel need to be investigated. The reason is that it is necessary to register in a unified manner. Then all suspicious people will be investigated, and all the territory of the empire will be investigated. If the queen is still there, it can definitely be found. ”

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Shuo said: "If it is executed, it will definitely not be too far away, and it will be searched in a carpet manner inside and outside the city gate." If the body is not found, the queen must still be alive. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Just do what Zhang Shuo said!" Go back, all of you! In addition, don't say this in advance, and don't tell Yang Xiangguo first! and there is no peace in him. ”

Yang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, if it is taken away, it will definitely be a quick horse to stay away from the capital, and the thief will not sit still......"

Zhang Shuo opened his mouth and didn't speak again.

Pei Shengyuan said: "I also know that this method is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I don't want to miss any opportunity to get back Mumu, so I can only search nationwide and not miss a little place." If not, where can you find the vast sea of people? ”

The crowd did not speak, and acquiesced to this method.
