Chapter 159: The Matter Is Revealed
For several days, Li Ge handled official business in the Ideological and Political Palace, and never entangled Mu Bangshang.
Mu Bangshang was with her sister every day, and Mu Wangge was afraid that she would be bored, so she took her around the palace.
Mu Wanshang was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, "My sister's body is heavy, and it is very cold, so don't move around, I can go around by myself." ”
"Actually, it's nothing? The medicine lady in the palace also said that let the palace walk around, and the delivery can go smoothly. ”
The child was born in February, Mu Bangshang didn't want to stay in Silla for a long time, it would bring trouble to himself, and he was also afraid that Xuanyuan would find him.
"My sister may not be able to catch up with the birth of the child, and she plans to leave after the Shangyuan Festival."
"So fast! Does the emperor know? ”
"I don't need to tell him, I see that my sister is okay and the emperor is also diligent in government affairs, and my sister is relieved."
"Where does my sister want to go?"
"There are many places where the world can go, maybe I will go to other continents for a walk, and I don't want to go back to Dayin again."
Mu Wangge's heart is a little relieved, she can't do her sister's free and easy, she just wants to guard the happiness in front of her.
In Silla, there is a custom of restless bed in the New Year, so Mu Bangshang has always slept on the warm kang.
Back in Anqing Palace, there was already a square iron box in the room, something similar to a stove, which was sent by Li Ge.
Slowly approaching the heat wave, there are handles on the box, and small shovels are hung on it.
Mu Bangshang guessed that this thing should be an oven, but I don't know what is baked inside?
When I opened the door, there was a smell of roasted sweet potatoes, but there was no shadow of sweet potatoes.
The box is divided into two layers, the bottom layer is charcoal, and the upper layer is a small pebble, and the sweet potato should be buried in the pebble.
Mu Bangshang picked up a shovel and peeled off the stones, revealing the roasted sweet potatoes.
Some hot, break open the yellow sweet potato, but also the slightest bit of heat, the taste is soft and glutinous and sweet, in this cold winter day, eat hot roasted sweet potato, than those delicacies of the mountains and seas, more moving, reminiscent of the days on the island.
"How does this smell different from on the island?"
The voice came from behind him, and Li Ge didn't know when he appeared behind him.
Mu Bangshang restrained all his emotions, and turned around to see Li Ge dressed in a blue brocade robe, "Eat baked sweet potatoes for guests, this is the hospitality of Silla Kingdom." ”
"You should know what they mean."
"The emperor's official business has been handled, and I am very idle to come to the little girl to talk about sweet potatoes."
Listening to Mu Bangsang's cold voice, "On that day, why didn't you wait for me to wake up, I was so sure that I wouldn't give up returning to the dynasty for you." ”
"I left you a token that day, and a letterhead with tortoiseshell tablets in it, explaining everything clearly, didn't you see it?"
"I just threw a broken pendant at the boat, and no one had any letterhead at all."
Mu Bangshang saw that the lotus pendant raised in his hand was given to her by Xuanyuan. But where did the letterhead and tortoiseshell flakes go?
"You really didn't see the letterhead I gave you? I asked my sister to give it to you. Could it be that it was taken away by Yan Jiu. ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, he was blind at the beginning, forcibly administered an injection, and still has a headache.
remembers that he just woke up, Mu Bange pretended to be Mu Bangshang to take care of her, if he hadn't regained his sight and was discovered, he wouldn't have known that Mu Bangshang was dead. After all kinds of questioning, Mu Elegy took out the jade pendant.
He was a little suspicious of Mu Elegy, he was a person who abides by etiquette, even if he is drunk, he will not behave deviantly, will it be Mu Elegy and Yan Jiu who conspired to design him that night.
has always thought that Mu Elegy is a victim and Mu Wangsheng's sister, so he will treat her with courtesy.
Seeing that Li Ge fell into deep thought, sure enough, as Cui Hu said, there was an inside story, it had been a long time since she left, and the investigation would not change anything.
"Since it's a broken pendant, the emperor will give it back to me! That's what my father left me. ”
Li Ge knew Mu Bangshang's life experience, what he wanted to keep was people, not a pendant, and handed over the lotus pendant to Mu Bangshang.
"It's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it back to you."
When Li Ge left Qingyun Palace, he began to suspect that Mu Elegy still had Cui Hu.
Cui Hu should be outside the city now, patrolling the imperial city with light cavalry guards.
Li Ge was eager to find out what happened during the month he woke up and Mu Bangshang left?
The sky gradually darkened, and Li Ge came to the city gate and saw that Cui Hu had just collected his troops.
Cui Hu saw that Li Ge personally went out of the city to see him, could something important happen.
"Cui Hu has seen the emperor, I don't know what happened?"
The imperial city is not far from Cui Hu's mansion, "I am depressed in my heart, I want to find someone to drink a few drinks, it is better to go to your mansion." ”
Cui Hu was flattered, "Weichen ordered someone to prepare wine and food first. ”
Cui Hu went to change his regular clothes, and returned to the general's mansion in the city with Li Ge, and the emperor's arrival was a major event in the mansion.
Cui Hu ordered someone to prepare a feast, and also ordered two ladies to accompany him, which was a concubine given to him by the emperor.
Li Ge just wanted to talk to Cui Hu alone, "There is no need to wait here, you two go down first!" ”
The two of them haven't been drinking together for a long time, "Cui Hu, how many years have you been with me." ”
"Seventeen years."
"I have a toast." Raise your head and drink your glass.
Cui Hu knew that the emperor was upset because of Mu Bangshang's matter, and he had already explained to Mu Bangshang, and it seemed that Mu Bangshang had not forgiven the emperor yet.
"It's rare for the emperor to come, thin wine and vegetarian dishes, snubbing Your Majesty!"
"Cui Hu, are you resenting me, I know your thoughts about the middle temple."
Cui Hu was busy kneeling on the ground, "The emperor is clear, Weichen definitely doesn't have the slightest thought. ”
"What are you afraid of? I only felt it for a moment, if I hadn't been drunk and committed a mistake that day, maybe Ah Shang would have forgiven me. ”
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been common for women to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the emperor. The Silla etiquette law is strict, and Miss Mu should be because she was snatched away by Xuanyuan and can't let go. ”
Li Ge admitted that Cui Hu's opinion was not unreasonable, he didn't mind Mu Bangshang losing his body, and he had children, what he had always remembered was Mu Bangshang.
Li Ge sighed faintly: "I am suspicious of the middle nave, today I went to find Ah Shang, she said that when she left that day, she handed me a letter and a tortoiseshell piece, but I didn't see it." ”
Cui Hu knew that the letterhead was burned by Mu Elegy, "The emperor suspects that Niangniang hid things privately." It's impossible, Niangniang has no reason to hide it privately, Miss Mu is Niangniang's own sister. Maybe it was taken by Xuanyuan's reckless people. ”
Li Ge went to fill a glass of wine, "I don't want it to have anything to do with the middle hall, why didn't I take away the jade pendant, it was given to her by Xuanyuan Xuanyuan, and it didn't necessarily happen to be Ah Shang's handwritten letterhead." He didn't mention a word, and he pretended to be his sister, and what he said was like a good word. ”
"The emperor is too careful. The mother of the middle hall also didn't want the emperor to think of sad things. ”
Xuanyuan drank a lot of glasses, and got drunk on the wine table. Cui Hu also had to enter the palace overnight to send Li Ge back to the Kangning Palace, and the emperor would go to court tomorrow morning.
At the same time, I also want to remind Mu Elegy that the emperor has begun to suspect her, and let her put the blame on Xuanyuan's reckless people.
Mu Wangge didn't know that the emperor was out of the palace, and always thought that he was handling official business in the Sizheng Palace.
Han Shanggong waited for Mu Elegy's wide clothes, untied the bun on his head, combed it into a whole braid, and tied it with a red rope.
"I'm afraid the emperor will have to deal with official business all night tonight, and the mother is still writing a good bed!"
"Okay, you can step back first!"
Han Shanggong respectfully retreated, and Jiang Zhu hurried in, "Niangniang, the emperor is drunk, and General Cui has come back with the emperor on his back." ”
Mu Elegy was puzzled, Cui Hu was responsible for guarding the imperial city and rarely entered the inner palace. Hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the main hall, Cui Hu had already stepped into the main hall with Li Ge on his back.
Everyone let the emperor go to the inner hall and put Li Ge directly on the warm kang, "The emperor is drunk." ”
Mu Elegy looked at Cui Hu, "There is General Lao Cui who sent the emperor back." ”
Cui Hu looked at the many maidservants, "Niangniang in the middle hall, Weichen has something to say to Niangniang." ”
Mu Elegy looked at the maidservants, "General Cui, it's late, I'm afraid it's very inconvenient." ”
"Something related to Miss Mu."
Something related to Mu Bangshang, Mu Wangge was clear, "Han Shanggong, you stay and take care of the emperor." Zhu'er, you come with the main palace. ”
Mu Elegy took Cui Hu to the side hall, and ordered Zhu'er to remove all the maidservants and guard them at the door.
looked at Cui Hu, "If you come so openly, you will attract people to gossip." Say whatever you want! ”
Seeing that Mu Elegy avoided him like a plague god, betraying the emperor in vain, and thinking about their mother and son everywhere, "The emperor has begun to doubt you." ”
"What do you suspect about this palace? What did Hongu do? ”
"Mu Elegy, you told one lie after another, and in the end you couldn't even tell yourself, that sentence was true."
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"The emperor suspects that you colluded with Xuanyuan's reckless people to frame him. If it weren't for Cui Hu helping you hide that Miss Mu was still alive. You think you can be a nave in peace. ”
"What? You saw that my sister found Silla and wanted to blackmail Hongu with that incident? Aren't you also afraid that the emperor will turn his face with the emperor of Dayin, but now you are not afraid? Sister, she is already Xuanyuan's reckless concubine, and she has children, she is not worthy of the emperor, and those old ministers and the queen mother will not ask for a broken flower and willow to fill the harem. ”
"You stepped on your sister by any means to get on the throne, but it's a pity that she is still in the dark."
The door to the room was opened, and the acupuncture channel was sealed, so that there was no warning.
Li Ge stood outside the hall, he deliberately pretended to be drunk, just to see what the two of them said?
Looking at the two people who looked stunned, Cui Hu was busy kneeling, he had long wanted to inform the emperor, but now he was relieved to find out.
"The emperor forgives the sin! Cui Hu confessed. ”
Mu Bang also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”
Li Ge's eyes were full of anger, it turned out that Mu Bang was really colluding with Xuanyuan's reckless people that day, and they always knew that Mu Bang was still alive!
"You two have joined forces to deceive me."
