"Mu Ling, who is trying to harm you? The intentions are so sinister! Mu Qing shared the same hatred, as if as long as Mu Ling said the name of that person, she would immediately arrest someone.

Mu Ling didn't want to say more, and shook his head, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty, but you believe the words of the Queen Mother?" ”

Mu Qing pouted, now she has no face for the imperial sister-in-law, "She is still a noble girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm sorry!" The queen of a country, the mother of the world, has no royal grace at all, she has no children, she is envious of the children of others, and when the little prince under the knees of Concubine De was there, the queen did not rub Concubine De Niangniang. Later, the little prince was gone, and I heard that Yikun Palace was constantly drinking, feasting and having fun every day, if it wasn't for the queen mother to send someone over to reprimand, there might be something to do! ”

Mu Qing looked at Mu Ling and sighed: "As soon as she woke up, she didn't say that the fire in Yikun Palace was related to you, and the reason was also ready-made, the flames on your body were fast, and you could start a fire without open flames, and it would be easy to burn the palace." ”

"I was sprinkled with white phosphorus, and my clothes caught fire...... The queen's huge palace room has to be burned, and there are thousands of catties of white phosphorus - flammable materials are not easy to keep, how difficult is it to transport so many of them? ”

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door three times outside, and when the second daughter turned around, it was Liang Chu and the imperial doctor who came.

He lightly swept the curtain that had fallen, motioned for the imperial doctor to go for treatment, and then went to the ear room with Mu Ling to talk.

"You just said to the royal sister, white phosphorus? Is it because of the sudden fire in your clothes today? ”

Mu Ling nodded, and Liang Chufu asked again: "Do you know who did it?" ”

Mu Ling hesitated, nodded and said, "I know who it is, but I also know that everything needs evidence, and now I can't come up with evidence." ”

Seeing Liang Chu raise his eyebrows, Mu Ling said: "If you really want to know who uses white phosphorus, I have my own way - but this has nothing to do with the assassins, nor does it have anything to do with the burning of Yikun Palace, is the emperor sure to ask?" ”

"What do you mean by concubine?"

The sentence "love concubine" is numb and almost trembling.

Mu Ling pretended to be unconscious, and coughed lightly: "The death of Concubine Hui involves the nobles of Duyun, but until tonight, the nobles are still showing off their branches." ”

"Are you questioning me?" Liang Chu raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Mu Ling really couldn't see through this emperor, and said bluntly: "The concubine just thinks that if you just want the harem to be stable and harmonious and maintain a superficial calm, then the concubine won't know who sprinkled white phosphorus on the clothes." ”

"I find that I am becoming more and more incompetent in your eyes."

Liang Chu was not angry, and even laughed happily, his voice fell, and the folding fan nodded the tip of Mu Ling's nose, "The elder brother of the noble Duyun has just donated 100,000 taels of gold to the imperial court, and I have allowed the noble of Duyun to meet her brother for the last time at today's birthday banquet - if it is a crime on top of a crime, don't say that the noble of Duyun will fall, and her brother's status as an imperial merchant should also be returned to the imperial court." ”

Mu Ling never thought that the battle in the harem involved the court and was more widely implicated.

She couldn't think of whether the merchant who had been stripped of his status as an imperial merchant would have the ability to make a comeback in the future.

For a moment, she was bored.

"Concubine Ai is still not satisfied with this answer?"

Mu Ling shook his head, looked at the cigarette, and finally decided: "Since the emperor wants to know, there is no point in the concubine concealing it." ”

Liuyun Palace

The nobles of Twilight were in a hurry, restless indoors, and had not yet fallen asleep.

Hearing that Mu Guiren came overnight, she waved her hand irritably, unwilling to see it.

The palace people who passed the word said that Mu Guiren had come to thank Duyun Guiren for his support for the burqa.

The noble man of Duyun broke the cup by mistake, and motioned for the palace people to invite Mu Ling into the room.

The hall was empty, and the noble man of Duyun lowered his voice and said, "Noble Mu is afraid that he is wrong, and he can't write about me." ”

Mu Ling hooked her lips and smiled: "Really?" I didn't know that in this court, there is someone in charge of the royal veins besides your brother? ”

Dusk Yun's face sank, "What do you mean?" ”

"There is an old saying that if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. As long as everything has been done, it will inevitably leave traces, but unfortunately, where does the white phosphorus come from, I have found out the details. ”

Master Mu Ling's servants came out of the cold palace, paying attention to everything and paying attention everywhere. Many of the things rewarded by His Majesty could not be taken out of the palace, and they were generously given out, as things that attracted people's hearts - the effect was also immediate.

The burqa that caught fire from the palace show, to the Huanyi Bureau, to the day of the birthday banquet, after a few hands, who I met, after a little inquiry, it was clear.

After listening to Mu Ling say the name of the palace man, Duyun nobleman took a strong breath and asked with a smile: "Mu Guiren is so stingy, I made you famous, but you will take revenge?" ”

Mu Ling looked at her cheekiness differently, and sneered lightly, "You should leave this to the queen mother to say - just got the letter, the queen mother said that Yikun Palace was burned with white phosphorus." ”

The noble man of Twilight Cloud changed his face in shock: "This is impossible! I only sprinkled it on your burqa. ”

"Then it depends on whether the queen believes it or not," Mu Ling glanced at the nearest window, and said, "I can find white phosphorus, and naturally I can also find oleander - can the noble man of Duyun still remember what poison caused the death of Hui Concubine?" ”

The noble man staggered backwards and sat down on the bed, looking at Mu Ling in horror.

"This plan of killing two birds with one stone, the nobleman used it so ingeniously that even I almost died in the cold palace."

The noble man muttered, "If you really checked the oleander and the death of the concubine...... Then you should understand that this matter was entrusted to me by the queen mother—otherwise, how could the steward of the Shen Xing Division kill you? In the cold palace, you lack medical treatment and medicine, and even ......"

"Or even hanged?" Mu Ling smiled coldly and finished speaking for her, "I have never told anyone about this matter, just like the queen mother will definitely not believe that the fire of Yikun Palace has nothing to do with you, and others will not believe that it is the queen mother who wants to put me to death an insignificant little nobleman - from the moment you decide to take action for the queen and solve me and Hui Concubine, as well as the flesh and blood in her abdomen, you are destined to become a knife for the queen mother, a knife that can only hurt others, not yourself." ”

Mu Ling saw that the noble man of Duyun was stunned, and continued: "I forgot to tell you that the fire in Yikun Palace was set by assassins, and the queen said that white phosphorus was used, which is to involve you and your brother in the assassination, and you are afraid that you will never be able to get out of it again." ”

Who knows, when the noble Duyun heard this, he just smiled miserably, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Mu Ling sarcastically: "It turns out that you still don't know anything - that assassin was arranged by me!" ”

The noble lady got up and walked to the window, groping for her old embroidery work, and whispered, "The queen thinks that I am ineffective and can't kill you, and she already thinks I'm useless." Don't say if the fire in Yikun Palace is because of white phosphorus, even if it is not, the queen mother has a way to make it! It's like, Concubine Hui and you, even if I don't do it, there will be others to go - but, if it weren't for me, what would happen to me and my family's lives and future? ”
