Chapter 32: Yanyan is arrested
Mu Ling was in a hurry to find the rim cigarette and walked out of Muxiyuan, but was stopped by several palace people.
The queen mother of Shoukang Palace announced the summons, and Mu Guiren immediately went over to reply.
Mu Ling was a little covered at this time, I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned her to a little nobleman to reply, she and Shoukang Palace have no intersection at all.
A little eunuch was a little behind and said, "The Queen Mother knows that it was your idea to ask the princess to invite the juggling team to celebrate her birthday, and then she summoned you to come over for questioningβdon't worry, the princess is also close to you, and she won't see you wronged." β
The little eunuch still got Mu Qing's signal and came over to appease Mu Ling.
Shoukang Palace was brightly lit, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was messed up by the assassins, and her face was lost, which was the time when her anger could not be hidden.
As soon as Mu Ling entered the hall, he felt that dozens of eyes were invested, and the Queen Mother's voice was deep and indifferent: "Mu Guiren, the mourning family asked you about the idea of asking for a juggling class, but you instigated Qing'er?" β
Mu Ling was kicked by the palace people, his knees bent, and his knees fell directly to the ground, his heart ached, and he was drenched in cold sweat, "Empress Dowager Qi, the concubine just had this proposal, and she didn't interfere too much." β
She lowered her head, and the palace maids on both sides stared at her, and she didn't dare to look at her eyes.
Mu Qing was also very helpless about the strong queen mother: "The sons and daughters have said that it has nothing to do with Mu Guiren." β
"Let Mu Guiren himself say that there are thousands of tricks to celebrate his birthday, how did he come up with the idea of inviting a juggling team outside the palace." The more angry the Queen Mother was, the calmer her expression became.
At that time, Mu Ling wanted to infiltrate the juggling team and abscond out of the palace, but unexpectedly, he let the assassin infiltrate the palace.
Before she could come up with a reasonable explanation, Mu Qing had already said: "If it is really a thousand tricks, the queen mother will not be bored every year." β
The Queen Mother was also speechless for this daughter who loved to tear down the stage for herself, glanced at her, and sighed softly, "Girl, you should have the appearance of a girl, the birthday banquet is not a matter for the queen mother alone, it is about the dignity of the court and the prestige of the Celestial Empire!" Now that there is such a scene, what do you make neighboring countries and subject countries think? How should the people of the world discuss? β
Su Nianru was already sincerely frightened, "It's all Erchen's, didn't you let those assassins get involved." β
The Queen Mother glanced at her lightly, let her kneel, and ignored her.
Mu Qing couldn't bear it: "It's not about the imperial sister-in-law, it's obviously me who invited the juggling team to come!" β
"Yes, but when the assassin carried out the assassination, he kept saying that he wanted to avenge Chen Huiren - what does this have to do with you?" The Queen Mother asked lightly, her eyes seemed to be intentional, as if she had unintentionally swept over Su Nianru.
Su Nianru's body trembled like a sieve, and she was at a loss: "Queen Mother, Chen Huiren's death has nothing to do with her sons. β
"Whether it is true or false, the queen naturally knows best. However, what's the use of distinguishing the true from the false now, hasn't your reputation for jealousy and incompetence already spread? β
was so denied by the queen mother, Su Nianru was ashamed and embarrassed, and tears appeared in her eyes, "Queen Mother...... Erchen knows his mistake. β
"Queen Mother, there are thousands of mistakes, and they are all the fault of the sons." Mu Qing didn't want others to carry the black pot for him.
"The mourning family asked you, where was this Mu Guiren at the time of the assassination?"
"This ...... She ...... "Mu Qing recalled carefully, but because she was really busy today, she had to deal with the guests and secretly look at General Ruan, she couldn't remember where Mu Guiren was when she was assassinated.
Mu Ling carefully rubbed the sore spot in her knee, lowered her head and couldn't help but smile bitterly - let alone the rim cigarette today, even she is in danger.
"The concubine can naturally explain it clearly - the idea of juggling is indeed made by the concubine, but whoever is invited to come, the concubine can't take the idea, since those tricks can be selected into the palace, they must have undergone strict screening, and the concubine doesn't have that ability, so many people can pass the test safely."
Mu Ling is clearly organized, and he knows that he is not careful today, and he is afraid that he will be ordered by the queen mother who has "pitted" him, and he will be pulled out and killed.
She paused and continued: "As for the absence in the middle of the banquet, the concubine has nothing to hide - the concubine is the birthday of the queen mother, the colorful clothes entertain the relatives, jump into the pond and the water is surging, or the cloak sent by Her Royal Highness the princess, let the concubine enter the clean room to change clothes-the maidservant went back to the Muxiyuan to get clothes, the concubine was in the clean room at the time, until the palace people outside shouted, the concubine did not know that there was an assassin. β
The Queen Mother glanced at Mu Ling's half-dried clothes lightly and chuckled.
Mu Ling's face tightened, and he lowered his head and whispered: "The palace people said that there were assassins, I was worried that the maid was meeting me on the road, so I hurried back to Muxiyuan, only to know that the maid had just left." When the concubine went out to look for the maidservant, she met the palace people and said that the queen mother had summoned her. β
Su Nianru snorted coldly: "You said that you are in the clean room, but someone can testify?" You ran back to Muxiyuan, and who testified? β
"It's a remote place, and there are few pedestrians, so I'm afraid no one can testify......" Dusk Cloud interjected.
"Brother Huang, you have something to say." Mu Qing was anxious, stomped his feet, and asked Liang Chu for help.
Liang Chu's gaze swept over everyone, and the Queen Mother's voice had arrived, "What else can your imperial brother say?" That group of people said that they came because of the queen, but if they hurt your royal brother by a little, who will take it? β
Su Nianru's face was blue and white, her expression was complicated, and she got up and asked for guilt again: "It's all the fault of the concubine, and I failed to find the thief in time." β
Although Mu Qing doesn't like the queen's sister-in-law's methods, she won't fall into the ground, "Queen Mother, it's not about the queen's sister-in-law, the person was invited by me, and I searched it, didn't anyone find that the group of people hid the soft sword on their waists, the queen is made by an iron man, and she can't manage so many trivial matters." β
The Queen Mother glanced at Su Nianru, who was restless, and smiled softly: "Yes, the queen is not an iron man, and there will be times of negligence, and this negligence will not stab the big basket." β
The Queen Mother was already dissatisfied with Su Nianru, who was vicious and vicious, and sneered, but the latter did not dare to fight back.
Mu Qing was full of guilt, and in the face of Mu Ling, he felt a sense of self-pity, "Queen Mother, investigating the assassin should also be a matter of Dali Temple and the queen's mother, what about your birthday today, don't you want these bad things, okay?" β
The Queen Mother's eyelids teased Mu Ling, who had been kneeling in the palace for a long time, snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Mu Guiren is up, since Princess Jiande is your guarantor, the mourning family will go around you for the time being." β
Mu Ling was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked her, "The concubine's maid was also arrested by the guards due to a misunderstanding." β
"Yanyan was caught?" Mu Qing was even more anxious than Mu Ling, "Queen Mother, that little maid is funny, cute, and kind, how can she be an assassin's comrade!" β
"Besides, Mu Guiren has been in the palace for less than two years, and he has lived in the cold palace for a few days, where can he buy so many people and let the assassins in." Liang Yan, who had been silent all the time, and had not yet left the palace, said lightly.
