Chapter 315: The Truth of Speculation
"Why did you even break your beloved Junzi Lan?"
Mu Ling raised his eyes slightly and looked at Su Nianru, there was a hint of conspiracy in those eyes. It's not obvious, but it's understandable.
Su Nianru chuckled: "Why does Concubine Shu care about the affairs of the queen mother today?" The palace looked at the queen mother in a bad mood these days, and the concubine didn't get a chance, but asked the queen mother to call out. ”
"Feeling bad?" Mu Ling frowned.
"This palace is probably worried about the border, and the Seventh Prince doesn't know who sent an assassin to assassinate him, and he doesn't know if he is dead or alive at this time!" Su Nianru covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, raised her eyes to look at Mu Ling, and observed her expression.
It's a pity that Mu Ling just frowned: "Why aren't you from Ruma?" ”
"That's what the Queen Mother said, but it is not clear who the Assassins are now, but I have heard that the Assassins have all been killed on the spot."
Su Nianru used a creepy tone to slowly say the news she knew, and slowly approached as she spoke.
Mu Ling's brows furrowed even deeper, but his eyes were silent, and he only stepped back: "Where did the queen hear these news?" ”
"Naturally, the Queen Mother said it, otherwise where would the palace care about these issues."
Su Nianru snorted lightly, and wanted to say something, but on the other side, there were already palace maids who brought a few pots of Junzi Orchid over. Seeing this, Su Nianru took a few steps forward: "This palace won't waste time with you here, and I have to send these to the Queen Mother." ”
Mu Ling nodded and stepped aside.
After Su Nianru and his party walked away, Mu Ling also took people to the dormitory.
She now had a bold guess in her mind, but it was too subversive of her previous perceptions, so she was not willing to believe it was true while she was not sure.
"Mother? Are you tired today? "The smoke is a little inexplicable," Is it disturbed? The Queen Mother is probably also worried about the border, so Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much. ”
"It's not." Mu Ling shook his head.
Originally, the queen's words just made Mu Ling suspicious, but the queen's later remarks made Mu Ling have a guess.
Liang Chu had already said that the assassin was sent from the capital, not the Ruma. However, the harem actually doesn't know about such news, so how can the queen mother know that it is not a Ruma?
And Su Nianru also said that the Queen Mother knew that those assassins were killed on the spot.
In other words, whether the assassin's operation was successful or not is actually only news from the border. It is possible that Liang Yan is fine at all, and killing all the assassins is just a matter of silence.
And now there is news that the life and death of the capital are unknown, I am afraid it is just Liang Yan's strategy.
In addition to confusing the Ruma people, it is also to confuse Liang Chu.
He wants military power! More soldiers and food!
Almost immediately, Mu Ling sorted out the relationship.
No wonder Liang Chu refused to send reinforcements for a long time, presumably he also knew the relationship, so he ignored it.
It's just that he can't tell her about such things, so he can only hide it like this, only to misunderstand her and make her angry.
"Mother?"
Seeing that Mu Ling's face was turning pale little by little, Yu Yan became more and more worried in her heart, and Chong Cuiyan glanced at her and motioned for her to call the imperial doctor.
Cuiyan just turned around to leave, but saw Mu Ling looking up and staring at her: "Cuiyan, you stay." Smoke, you go to the small kitchen to help Hongu get some food. ”
Yan Yan understood that the master must have something to say to Cui Yan, and deliberately broke her away.
It's just that this is the master's decision, so she naturally won't say anything.
There was only green smoke left in the house, so Mu Ling beckoned her to come over: "I only ask you one word, you have to answer honestly, otherwise I won't ask you any questions in the future." ”
"Niangniang said, the maid must know everything." Cui Yan already had a guess in her heart, and knelt down nervously.
"Don't kneel, stand and talk."
Mu Ling sighed, she was not interrogating the prisoner now. Even if Cui Yan was as she guessed, she wouldn't have any estrangement from Cui Yan, she just sighed, 'That's true'.
But now Cui Yan's performance is so that she doesn't even need to ask, I'm afraid that's the case, right?
"I only ask you, did the prince specially arrange for you to serve me?"
"! The maid has no two hearts, and naturally serves the mother wholeheartedly! Cui Yan's complexion changed, where did he dare to stand up, and only knelt and kowtowed a few times.
Looking at her like this, if she hadn't really done something to hide it from her, it wouldn't have been like this.
Mu Ling sighed lightly: "I know that Ah Yan has his own plans, and I can understand some things, but he has gone too far in this matter." ”
took advantage of Liang Chu's friendship with her and her worries about him, and thought so thoughtfully!
If she hadn't known that Liang Yan had proposed to go to the border before that, she would only be stupidly worried at this time, thinking that Liang Yan would have some accidents.
And what Liang Yan wants is her worry, but the more she dies, the more she will make Liang Chu feel distressed, and when the time comes, he will have to send reinforcements to the border.
If something happens later, I'm afraid it won't be something that Mu Ling can control.
Maybe Liang Yan would fulfill his promise and let her freedom, but at that time her freedom was bought at the cost of the blood of so many people.
This kind of freedom, she would rather not.
"Tell me, don't you already know about the situation at the border, but you are listening to him to hide it from me? Now are you my handmaid, or are you his workman? ”
Mu Ling took a deep breath and stared straight at Cui Yan.
She believed that Cui Yan had no bad intentions towards her, but he couldn't tolerate it.
In the past, she had guesses, but seeing that Cuiyan was serving her so wholeheartedly, she didn't say anything. However, after this incident, Mu Ling had to think about it again.
Including the four people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting sent in by Mu Shangshu, they also need to be more vigilant.
Cui Yan knew that this incident must have made Mu Ling suspicious, and his heart only sank to the bottom, and even his face turned a little whiter, and he only cried and kowtowed.
"Niangniang, the maid is absolutely loyal to you, and there is no second heart. Don't drive the maid away, the maid will only listen to the maid in the future, and the maid will never hurt the maid-"
"I'm not trying to drive you away." Mu Ling stepped forward and helped her up, "I know your embarrassment, but you help him hide it from me like this, but it makes me feel cold." If you really come to your senses, don't tell him anything more about this, I only allow you to do this one thing, and if you can't do it, then go back to where you came from. ”
"The servant can."
Cui Yan still had tears on her face, and nodded vigorously.
Seeing her like this, Mu Ling couldn't blame her.
