Chapter 55: Negotiate the conditions with Concubine Xi
Mu Yao was pacing anxiously around the room, and he didn't know if Lan Zhen had told Hongli that he was okay now?
This was the sound of unlocking from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Concubine Xi appeared in front of Mu Yao with Mama Gui and Lan Zhen.
Mu Yao was stunned in place, and Mama Gui said sharply, "You still don't want to salute when you see the concubine?" ”
Mu Yao reacted at this time, she blessed her body, and said, "Slave and maid see the concubine Niangniang." ”
Concubine Xi said expressionlessly, "You must hate this palace very much!" ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Although Mu Yao didn't dare to say it, he had already scolded Concubine Xi in front of him thousands of times in his heart, if it weren't for her, Mu Yao would still be dignified; If it weren't for her, Mu Yao wouldn't be at a loss for words; If it weren't for her, Mu Yao wouldn't have suffered those tortures in Xinzheku; If it weren't for her, Mu Yao wouldn't be like now, unable to return home and surviving in the world!
"Actually, you're very smart, and Hongu likes you too." Concubine Xi's face was expressionless, and she continued, "But the fourth elder brother is too attentive to you!" ”
What is the reason for this? Mu Yao smiled bitterly in his heart.
Seeing that Mu Yao didn't speak, Concubine Xi asked again, "Tell me, how did you know that someone was going to poison the fourth elder brother?" ”
"It was the slave who overheard it!" Mu Yao replied truthfully.
"And who have you seen?" Concubine Xi asked again.
"No!" Mu Yao continued to enter the market and answered.
Concubine Xi showed a hint of loss on her face, "It seems that you can't help me!" ”
Mu Yao raised her head and met the bottomless eyes of Shangxi Guifei, she spoke, "I can help Niangniang find the culprit who murdered the fourth elder brother!" ”
When Concubine Xi heard this, she couldn't help but be interested, she raised her eyebrows and listened to Mu Yao continue.
"But I want to beg Niangniang, if I find the real murderer, I hope Niangniang will return my innocence and allow me to leave the palace!"
Concubine Xi's face turned cold, and she whispered, "Are you bargaining with this palace?" ”
"It's not a bargain, it's a win-win!" Mu Yao's face was firm, she believed that Concubine Xi would definitely agree!
"Okay, this palace promises you." Concubine Xi agreed, and she continued, "But you also have to promise this palace a condition!" ”
"Mother, please speak!"
"This palace makes you swear here that you will not have anything to do with the fourth elder brother in this life and this life!"
Hearing Concubine Xi make such a request, Mu Yao couldn't help but feel palpitations, but now proving her innocence is the most important thing, Mu Yao agreed with tears, from now on she and Hongli will no longer be possible!
"Tell me about your plan, how are you going to check it?" Concubine Xi played with her nails, and when she came up, she planned to give Mu Yao a problem.
Mu Yao pursed his lips and said, "Although I didn't see the appearance of those two people, but I heard what one of them meant, he was an errand boy in Yongshou Palace, and now he has taken the money and left the palace, so Niangniang, you only need to check the records of yesterday's palace departure to know who this person is!" ”
Concubine Xi nodded with satisfaction, "This palace didn't mistake you, I hope you find the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible!" ”
"It's not early today, go back early, the traitors of Yongshou Palace will be found out in a few days, and this palace will look for you!" After that, Concubine Xi took Mama Gui and Lan Zhen and left.
Seeing them go away, Mu Yao sat down on the ground as if she had collapsed, if Concubine Xi didn't agree, her life might not be guaranteed, she had to quickly find out all this, and then escape from this cannibalistic place!
