Because he was going to Xiaoleiyin Temple to participate in the Buddhist meeting, Qu Muge wore a plain white stand-up collar robe and a light green grass pleated skirt today, and walked out slowly, like a slim girl.

She stood calmly and replied to Bai Yuan: "About two months ago, Chen Heng did break into the small courtyard of Hongye Mountain, but he was soon discovered by the guards, and he and his Ma clan fled with him, and since then, I haven't seen him again. ”

Bai Yuanhui couldn't help but take a few steps forward and walked in front of Qu Muge.

"It's really you." Bai Yuanhui said softly, his tone was quite complicated.

Qu Muge looked at him and asked, "Lord Bai, we met again, what else do you want to ask?" ”

Bai Yuan adjusted his mood and asked, "Who is the girl, why did she borrow a residence in the Gu Mansion?" ”

Qu Muge replied: "I was originally the daughter of the Ye family in Hongye Village, and I ran away from home because of family abuse. Mrs. Gu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see me an orphan girl living on the streets, so she took me in. ”

Bai Yuanhui's face became ugly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Abuse?" ”

Qu Muge smiled and said, "It's all in the past." ”

Bai Yuan replied, "Did you grow up in Red Leaf Village since you were a child?" ”

Qu Muge nodded.

Bai Yuanhui asked again: "It is recorded in the Jinling case that the Ye family was beheaded for harboring the enemy, do you know it?" ”

Qu Muge shook his head and said, "That's what happened after I left home, I don't know." It is also possible that my parents will do anything for money, and it is possible that they will be bribed by the enemy, and besides, is the matter of the Ye family related to Chen Heng's case? ”

Bai Yuan didn't answer, thought for a while and said, "This case involves a lot, and it is inconvenient to inquire here, so I also asked Miss Ye to come with me." ”

Mrs. Gu stepped forward, hugged Qu Muge in her arms, and said, "No, if you want to ask, just ask here, even if you are handling a case, you can't just take people away." ”

Bai Yuan was a little surprised to see that Mrs. Gu was so protective of Qu Muge, but after a slight groan, he took a step forward and said, "Then please don't leave the Gu Mansion for Miss Ye, I will come to inquire at any time." ”

With that, he took a few other brocade guards with him.

Mrs. Gu was extremely annoyed by this incident: "Headless and brainless, he actually came to investigate the case, my son is a marquis anyway, is the Jinyi Wei so arrogant now?" ”

But she was a little worried in her heart that it was Chen Heng and Ma who were killed by Gu Nanye, so she didn't have much confidence to argue.

Ye Taixuan couldn't go out, so Mrs. Gu had to arrange for Feng Hu to send Xin's mother to Xiaoleiyin Temple to send merit money, and participate in the Bon Festival on her behalf.

Bai Yuanhui came out of the Gu Mansion and did not go to the official mansion, but walked into an alley.

There was a hut in the dimly lit alley, and a burned woman was lying in it, it was the moon grandmother of Qingyue Pavilion.

Bai Yuan looked back at the old woman who was still breathing, and his mind was full of the old secrets she had told him last night......

Fourteen years ago, Concubine Wen accompanied Emperor Yong on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River and became pregnant on the way south. Because Concubine Wen's health was too poor to run around, she was arranged by Emperor Yongdi to wait for childbirth in Jinling City.

was left to take care of Concubine Wen, in addition to the palace people, there was also a good friend of Concubine Wen.

Before Concubine Wen gave birth, there was a sudden civil uprising in the east, and the rebel army captured Jinling City.

Concubine Zuo thought that the rebel army would kill Concubine Wen, but unexpectedly, the rebel army did not have the courage to move the lives of the concubine and the imperial heir, but only took Concubine Wen as a hostage to negotiate with the court.

Concubine Zuo was worried that Concubine Wen would settle accounts with herself after she was rescued, so she took advantage of the chaos to send someone to assassinate Concubine Wen and took away the child born early.

Because Concubine Zuo felt ashamed of Concubine Wen in her heart, and because she was pregnant and did not dare to kill again, she asked her to give the surviving child to ordinary people to raise.

The emperor thought that Concubine Wen died at the hands of the rebels, and the child did not know life and death, and because of the war, there was nowhere to find it, so the matter was gradually buried, and no one mentioned it again.

"Niangniang heard that the child was found by General Gu, and she was worried that the incident would be exposed, so she ordered me to get the child back and place it in another place. But then things didn't go well, so Niangniang sent Grandpa Wei to kill people and kill people......"

Poisoning Chen Heng and Ma's family, burning Qingyue Pavilion, and deposing Zhao Taishou were all instructed by Zuo Guifei.

Bai Yuan listened back to Mama Yue's confession and didn't sleep all night.

Concubine Wen is the daughter of the Bai family and the eldest aunt of Bai Yuanhui.

Back then, the Bai family lost Concubine Wen due to the war, and they were sad for a long time, but the Bai family never thought that Concubine Wen was killed by Zuo Guifei!

Moreover, her child is still alive!

Bai Yuan recalled the girl he had seen in Xianle Fang, she looked very similar to the portrait of Concubine Wen enshrined in the ancestral hall, and lived in the Gu family, it was very likely that she was the child that Zuo Guifei was looking for!

He was worried about Ye Taixuan's safety, and he was also afraid that the Gu family had ulterior motives for her, so he couldn't help but go to the Gu Mansion to find her as soon as it was dawn.

He wanted to take her away, but seeing that her relationship with the Gu family was quite close, it seemed that it was safer for her to stay in the Gu family now......

Looking at Mama Yue, who was now asleep, Bai Yuan asked Lang Zhong with some anxiety: "I want to take her back to the capital, can she survive?" ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "I can't help it, where can she stand the fatigue of traveling in such a situation, I'm afraid that she will die within two days of being on the road." ”

Bai Yuan sighed back.

Now that the emperor is driving in person, he will not be able to return to Beijing in three or five months, even if he brings Mama Yue back to the capital, he is afraid that he will not be able to survive the emperor's personal questioning.

He had to find a pen and paper, write a confession based on the words that Mama Yue woke up last night, and then pressed Mama Yue's handprint.

After putting away the confession, Bai Yuan returned to the Taishou Mansion.

Now the post of Jinling Taishou is vacant, and it is the left Taicheng and the right Taicheng who jointly preside over government affairs.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Bai Yuanhui saw the two Taicheng leading horses and hurrying out.

They looked panicked, and at first glance they knew that something was wrong.

"Where's the two adults?"

Right Taicheng is the official who accompanied him to check the fire scene, and the relationship is more familiar.

"Something is wrong! The chariot and horse of Xiling Hou returning to his hometown encountered mountain bandits on Hongye Mountain, with many casualties, and we were about to rush to deal with it! ”

Gu Nanye met a mountain bandit?

Bai Yuan listened back but was not in a hurry.

I don't know where the mountain bandits can't think about it so much, and they go to rob Gu Nanye, the one with many casualties is the mountain bandits, right?

It's really hell the door open, uninvited.

Because of this rarity, Bai Yuan thought about it and decided to go to Red Leaf Mountain with the government.

At night, Xin's mother was sent back to the house by Fan wading, and Xin's mother, who was so frightened that her legs were sore, was held in her arms by Mrs. Gu, and said with a crying voice: "My God! The girl fortunately didn't go out today, dozens of bandits are menacing, if it weren't for the people who met the Hou Ye, my old woman would have confessed to the bandits! ”

"Mother Xin is frightened!" Mrs. Gu was distressed.

Qu Muge was very guilty, she should have gone up the mountain today, but Xin's mother suffered on her behalf.
