Chapter 219 This is to go to the distant mountains
After Murong put some of the food he had prepared into the room, he only glanced at Xiao He, and then hurried out and accompanied his brother Shulie.
Xiao He was not polite, while filling his stomach first, and then carefully pondering what the relationship between the two was. When the autumn hunt was in the beginning, Da Yue personally introduced Mu Yunjing to Mu Churan with the fourth prince brother Shu Fei, which had already surprised everyone present.
Although Mu Yunjing's mother is Princess Dayue, he is backed by the Dayue royal family, and he is actually his grandfather's family, so there is nothing wrong with it whether he talks about it or investigates it deeply. But Xiao He knew the reason, Mu Yunjing didn't get in touch with the Dayue royal family back then, so he was taken back to Dayin. For so many years, even Mu Yunjing himself thought that it was the Great Yin Emperor Mu Churan who was under house arrest behind his back.
If it weren't for Xiao He's forgetting his worries and revealing the truth from Mu Churan's mouth, even Xiao He would have believed it.
Mu Yunjing and the Dayue royal family recognized each other, and it must have taken a lot of twists and turns in the middle, just because he appeared in front of everyone in a dignified manner, presumably Murong also planned a lot for him.
Xiao He had already heard earlier that in the battle for the prince of Dayue, Ge Shulie's voice was the highest. He is not only the eldest son, but he also began to share the worries of the lord of the Great Moon Kingdom in government affairs early, and he also has a group of courtiers who support him in the court. The second is Ge Shudao, the queen's son. Although Da Yue does not distinguish between the two generations, the strength of the forces behind it also affects the future development.
It is rumored that the lord of the Great Moon Kingdom is afraid that the power of the queen's relatives is too strong, so he favors and supports the eldest son brother Shulie, and although the second son brother Shudao is very important, but after careful analysis, he has never handed over the important affairs to him.
These are still some of the things I heard when Xiao He was chatting with Shen Suhang. Shen Suhang has the best understanding of the situation of the surrounding countries, and when he mentions it, he talks about it eloquently, like a few treasures. Xiao He also laughed at the time that if he was writing the annals of the nations, he would definitely let him dictate it on the side, and just find someone to write it down.
What even Shen Suhang and his courtiers from other countries can see, can their own people in the Great Moon Kingdom not understand? Ge Shulie's private entry into Yin this time, what is going on, is it related to his struggle for the position of prince? And Murong was so close to him, what kind of deal did he reach with him?
Xiao He recalled Murong's appearance of exhausting all kinds of organs in the past, and suddenly had a thought in her heart, which startled herself.
Murong claimed that he was a member of the staff of the former prince back then, if after the former prince and princess passed away, it was he who sent someone to arrest Mu Yunjing, just for the strange goods to live in, and one day, he used Mu Yunjing to seize the throne, so as to control Mu Yunjing in his hands and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world.
Such ambitions, if they are put on Murong Qiren, they don't think it's impossible.
Xiao He was so surprised by his thoughts that he didn't know what to do, but mechanically repeated the series of actions of putting it in his mouth and chewing, and continued to deduce his thoughts in his mind.
If Murong had always been the person behind him, then the dozens of lives of the Dai family's dart bureau would definitely have nothing to do with him. After all, it was Xiao He who pushed Mu Yunjing into the tiger's mouth with his own hands. Now Mu Yunjing trusts Murong very much, almost to the point of worship, isn't this the effect that Murong is wanting?
One day, Mu Yunjing can really take the throne, why is it difficult for Murong to be the emperor behind him?
Thinking like this, Xiao He broke out in a cold sweat. It's just that this is also her speculation, there is no evidence at all, or because of her prejudice against Murong, she is happy to impose the worst on him. Maybe in her heart, she didn't think that Murong was hopelessly enough.
It's just how to verify it, the first thing is to get Murong's absolute trust first, and this alone is a bit difficult.
Murong may have so many footholds in the imperial capital that even Xiao He can't count them, thinking about a cunning person like him, which place is where he often stays, it is estimated that he himself can't tell. Like he always wears a mask all the time, he just doesn't want others to know his true self, how can he expose his true self so easily.
On the surface, he always flaunts himself as righteous and awe-inspiring, as if the righteous people in the world should take him as a model, if he is not allowed to succeed, it is simply a negative life. That face reminded Xiao He of Mu Churan.
Xiao He shook his head, as if trying to shake the face that suddenly messed up in his mind.
Hundreds of miles away, in the imperial capital of Zijin City, Mu Churan always felt a little restless. Since he learned that Zhaohua Palace was attacked and Xiao He was missing, his brows have not been loosened since then, and he pressed his eyebrows with his fingers from time to time, and the seal of the Sichuan character was even deeper.
News came from Zhang Delu's side, and the man woke up. Mu Churan was about to ask someone to bring him up, and he wanted to ask him personally, but he heard a rumor outside the door that the Queen Mother had arrived. At this time, the Queen Mother came over, which door was it lively?
Let's just listen to what she is talking about. Mu Churan raised his hand slightly and motioned to the palace people to invite the Queen Mother in.
The Queen Mother Leng Qingchen took the palace maid beside her into the imperial study, and Mu Churan ordered someone to set up a chair before saying to her, "What is the matter with the queen mother coming here at this hour?" ”
Leng Qingchen smiled lightly, turned his head and glanced behind him, and a palace maid stood up and knelt in the middle.
"Does the emperor recognize this palace maid?"
Mu Churan stared at the kneeling man carefully, "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”
The palace maid raised her head timidly and looked at Mu Churan. It wasn't until Mu Churan saw her face that he remembered that this was the Qinglian he had arranged to serve Xiao He in Zhaohua Palace closely.
"Qinglian, how could it be you? Isn't it ...... in Zhaohua Palace" Mu Churan paused, at that time, he did have to report that the guards in Zhaohua Palace were dead, but Xiao He's body was not found, and he was in a hurry and no one went to detail whether everyone was dead, so he preconceived that the people in Zhaohua Palace were gone. Now that he saw that Qinglian was still alive, there was a glimmer of hope, which made his eyes light up, "Qinglian, do you know who Xiao He was taken away?" ”
Qinglian bowed to Mu Churan, and then said: "Your Majesty, that Lord Xiao was not taken away, but ......" She seemed to hesitate, but then continued to add in one breath, "He himself wants to escape, kill the palace guards, and several black-clothed people descended from the sky to help him escape together." The slave and maid hid aside and were not discovered, so they left a remnant of their lives. ”
After Mu Churan heard what she said, her face was like frost, Qinglian quietly looked up and hurriedly lowered herself, never daring to lift up again, and she didn't even want to move more. I didn't hear the emperor's voice for a long time, Qinglian began to get nervous, didn't the emperor believe what he said?
She entered the palace at the age of thirteen, although she is not very clever, but she is diligent in her hands and feet, and she doesn't talk much, but she has been following the not very favored Niangniang, but she has been dull After so many years, she sent away the first emperor and ushered in the new emperor. People in the palace come and go, as if they have nothing to do with her, this is the first time she speaks a lie, she is naturally nervous, but she has practiced several times, and there should be no flaws.
Mu Churan didn't say anything, but his face was very ugly.
Leng Qingchen saw it really on the side, and there was a little joy in her heart, her son was happy and angry, of course she knew best as a mother. So he said unhurriedly, "This palace maid was almost scared to death, if it weren't for the fact that my palace grandmother found her in the corner of the imperial garden, maybe she would have thrown herself into the lake tonight." The girl who has been serving people in the palace all the year round has never seen such a bloody scene. This Xiao He is really too lawless, and the mourning family sees that the emperor should immediately send someone to recover it, regardless of life or death, so as not to make people think that the law of the Great Yin King has disappeared. Those rumors among the people have already spread into the Purple City, haven't the emperor heard of it, they said......"
"Enough!" Mu Churan interrupted the Queen Mother, not wanting to hear her continue, just wanting Xiao He to die.
"I will deal with this matter, so I won't bother with my mother. Come and send the Queen Mother to the Chaolu Palace. ”
Not only did he not want to listen to the Queen Mother's discussions, but he directly sent him out of the imperial study, but he left Qinglian behind. Leng Qingchen didn't mind, after leaving the imperial study, he was in a happy mood, and now the only person witness was held in his hand, as long as that Qinglian bit to death and Xiao He cooperated with the gang to kill and abscond, he could be convicted of a capital crime, and there was no possibility of turning over.
At that time, there is no need to hold on to Qingjuan, no matter how much trouble she makes, she will not be able to save Xiao He.
Thinking like this, Leng Qingchen couldn't help admiring himself, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
And in the imperial study, Mu Churan ordered someone to look at Qinglian, and then said, "Bring the guards who woke up." ”
Qinglian listened to it on the side, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, and the change in her expression was seen by Mu Churan, and she felt a little sure in her heart. After Xiao Zheng was carried in, Qinglian was even more uneasy.
Xiao Zheng was slightly injured, but after treatment, there was no major problem, and he bowed down in front of the case, "Your Majesty!" This morning, there were several people dressed as eunuchs, carrying His Majesty's handwritten instructions to Zhaohua Palace to pick up people. My brother felt suspicious and asked a few more questions, and they killed him. The villain had a big life, but he was injured and fainted in the corner, so he was not discovered by those gangsters. During this period, Lord Xiao came out and fought with them, but he was defeated and was taken away by those people. As for where to take it, the villain doesn't know. ”
As he spoke, there was a trace of remorse on his face, hating that he was inferior in martial arts, failed to protect Lord Xiao, and failed to save Xiao Qing.
After Mu Churan heard what he said, the expression on his face was not much relaxed, he wrinkled his brows and glanced at Qinglian who was kneeling on the side, and then stared at Xiao Zheng, "What you said is true?" Some people testified that Xiao He and a group of black-clothed people killed the guards and palace people and escaped from Zhaohua Palace. ”
Xiao Zheng was very shocked when he heard this, his eyes were split, almost ignoring etiquette, he straightened his back, and stepped forward with two steps on his knees, "Your Majesty suspects that the villain is lying?" The villain's life was survived, just to let His Majesty know the truth of this matter, what is the purpose of those villains, the villain is stupid and can't understand, and Lord Xiao falls into their hands, whether the villain is alive or dead, and he can't know. If Your Majesty would rather believe the words of the traitor and distort the facts, the villain is willing to die to prove his innocence! ”
