In Mu Qingyao's room, a maid knelt on the ground and reported: "Miss, as you expected, the fourth lady was indeed not in the mansion before, and the slave maid found a few people to stare at all the doors of the mansion according to your instructions, and saw that the fourth lady entered the mansion through the back door when she was a child, and she was wearing men's clothes." ”

Mu Qingyao came back and walked around two steps, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I said, why didn't that Mrs. Wu let me enter Mu Yunlan's room, and said that she was sick, and even took out my grandfather's words to make everything independent in the third room to pressure me, which was really a concealment for Mu Yunlan." ”

When she got the news, she was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep, and as soon as it was dawn, she went to the courtyard of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady Qi was letting the maid comb her hair, and when she saw Mu Qingyao coming in, she was a little surprised: "It's not yet time to say goodbye, why did you come here so early?" ”

Mu Qingyao stepped forward to let the maid go down, and took a comb to help Qi comb her hair: "Mother, last time in the palace, you and Concubine Jin wanted to clean up Mu Yunlan, but I don't know what luck she went, so she hid over, are you willing?" ”

Qi Shi inserted a gilt hairpin into his hair, motioned for Mu Yunlan to sit down, and then said: "She has lost her mother's face several times, even this time Concubine Jin Niangniang was deprived of the right to manage palace affairs, and she can't get rid of it, how could my mother let her go?" ”

"When is the mother going to make a move, the daughter just caught her a handle." Mu Qingyao's eyes were slightly bright, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her face was beautiful.

"Handle?"

"Mu Yunlan went out in disguise as a man yesterday and didn't come back until midnight."

Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fingers moved slightly: "She is a woman, and she only returned home in the middle of the night......"

"Yes, there must be some shady reason in this, Mother, why don't you let someone look it up? As long as evidence is found, then ......"

Qi shook his head, took Mu Qingyao's hand and patted it gently: "Qingyao, you have to remember that if you don't die by fighting a snake, you will suffer from it, Mu Yunlan has changed a lot now, and you must not take it lightly." The investigation is to be investigated, but the evidence is found, if she does not admit it if she dies, coupled with the protection of Wu and others, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become a confused lawsuit. ”

Mu Qingyao was a little anxious when she heard this: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Catch it!" Qi smiled, the hairpin on his head shone brightly, "The old lady doesn't like her because your third uncle doesn't like her, as long as she catches her, she can still get benefits?" There are a few people in this world who don't pay attention to women's virtues, she is a young lady who has not left the cabinet, and she actually left the house in the middle of the night, who knows what she did......"

Mu Qingyao nodded, pursed her lips slightly, and couldn't hide her excitement in her heart: not only to let her grandmother know, but also to tell the third prince that when her cousin sees her true face, can she tolerate her continuing to occupy the position of the princess?

Because the wound on her body was opened, Mu Yunlan carefully nursed her in the mansion for two days, and the Wu family stared at her deadly, and even had to bring food to her, for fear that she would toss the wound again.

Mu Yunlan was a little uncomfortable, but unexpectedly obedient.

She has a keen instinct, and knows that the nurse treats her sincerely, even to the point of blind pampering, otherwise she would not have the slightest doubt when there has been a great change in her.

Mu Yunlan finished her breakfast and carefully applied the Xue Ji ointment sent by Yue Jingxuan, not to mention that this ointment was really easy to use, the wound on her hand healed very quickly.

Wu came in with the cut fruit: "Miss, you must not leave the house these days." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Didn't the old slave say that the eldest lady was suspicious of you, so he paid extra attention to it, and found that in recent days, there have been people staring at the doors of all parts of the house, and even in our yard, there are people quietly passing on the news."

Mu Yunlan gently touched the scar on her palm: "It's the eldest aunt's person?" ”

"Yes, after the old slave came back, he re-sorted the people in the yard and found that six people had problems, three of them were the eyeliner of the eldest lady, one was the eyeliner of the old lady, one was the eyeliner of the second lady, and one was not sure."

"Not sure?" Mu Yunlan admired Wu's ability, she served in the palace in the early years, and she was used to seeing deceit, and within a few days of returning to the mansion, she kept the three rooms in order, and for those who had different intentions, she also sent people to keep an eye on them, and there was no mistake.

"Yes, that person was later called in by the eldest lady, and now he is in charge of the kitchen procurement, and he behaves very honestly on weekdays, but the old slave always thinks that she has some problems." There is no evidence, and Wu is also quite troubled.

"The nurse has done a good job." Mu Yunlan comforted her, since the nurse and the others returned to the house, the news, personnel exchanges, and expense accounts in the house were all in order, and she didn't know how much she had to worry about, "Since the eldest aunt cares about me so much, I can't let her down......"

"Miss, what do you want to do?"

Mu Yunlan smiled mysteriously, and her starry eyes were bent and bright: "Three days later, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no curfew these days, the street is very lively, I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Miss, this is what you want to ......" Wu was a little unsure of the guess in his heart, after all, Miss was very simple in the past, and she didn't know anything about strategy and strategy.

Mu Yunlan held her chin and smiled: "Lead the snake out of the hole!" ”

On the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Mu Yunlan went out in men's clothes, she went out with her front foot, and someone sent the news to the eldest lady with her back foot.

Mu Qingyao looked excited, grabbed Qi's sleeve and hurriedly said, "Mother! "Here's your chance!

Qi patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Mother told you, you have to calm down at any time." Lu'e, send someone to keep an eye on it, be sure to delay it until the time, no matter what method you use, don't let Mu Yunlan return home early. ”

Lu E nodded respectfully: "Yes, don't worry, madam, the slave and maid will definitely be done." ”

Mu Yunlan still went out in men's clothes, and not long after she left, she noticed that someone was following behind her, and curled the corners of her lips slightly, the eldest aunt paid a lot of attention to her, and hoped that it would not disappoint people tonight.

Mu Yunlan led the people who were following behind her to walk back and forth for more than an hour, feeling that the time was almost up, before she used the bustling crowd to shake them off.

Xinglong Restaurant is located in Rong'an Street, the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, and it is not lively at this time. Mu Yunlan stood at the door of the restaurant and sniffed slightly, and the mellow aroma of wine entered the tip of her nose, making her eyes light slightly.

When the second child of the restaurant saw her, he immediately greeted her: "Little boy, please, there is a batch of good Jiujiu Spring Open Altar today, and you are just in time." "With a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, and a noble atmosphere, he is a pampered noble son at first glance.

Mu Yunlan shook the folding fan, Shi Shiran walked into the restaurant, looked up and swept to the private room upstairs, and casually threw a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er: "Let's have a pot of good wine, and serve two signature dishes!" ”

"Yes, here it is, wait a minute."

In the private room on the second floor, the second prince Yue Xiaojiao hooked the corners of his lips, and looked at the third prince Yue Xiaohan with a smile: "Third brother, your future concubine is very interesting!" A woman who is not embroidering at home and raising fish, but even comes out to hang out in men's clothes, you dare to marry such a woman? ”

Yue Xiaohan's eyebrows moved slightly, and the smile on his face was gentle: "Brother Erhuang's words are not right, my Dayong Dynasty is open to the people, and there is no rule that women cannot go on the street, and besides, Yun Lan was born in a family of military generals, and his father is still General Fuyuan, so it is normal for his personality to be informal." ”

"Haha," Yue Xiaojiao laughed out loud and threw the wine glass on the table, "I remember that you, the future concubine, wept when she saw the flowers and the moon was hurt, when did you become eclectic, could it be that Li Daitao was stiffened?" ”

Yue Xiaohan looked at Yue Xiao's injured arm: "Second Emperor Brother's arm is injured, it's better not to drink too much wine." ”

Yue Xiaojiao's face sank suddenly, and the color of yin and Wu flashed in her eyes. At the banquet a year ago, he secretly calculated Yue Xiaohan, forced him to perform a sword dance at the banquet, and also moved his hands and feet on the long sword, wanting him to hurt people when he danced the sword and was punished.

It took a lot of manpower to arrange things properly, but in the end, he didn't achieve his goal, not to mention, and offended Yue Jingxuan.

Although no evidence was found, he couldn't calculate his front foot, and almost injured Yue Jingxuan, and his back foot and arm were injured, where is there such a coincidence.

The eldest prince Yue Xiaoqing was the most silent, and when he heard the conversation between the two of them, he also looked downstairs.

Mu Yunlan sat at the table, staring intently at the wine jug, smelling it for a while before carefully pouring out a glass, pursing the corners of her rosy lips, and her eyes were filled with a thick smile: "Jiuzhuchun, it's really good." ”

In her previous life, she was stationed at the border, and in winter, the temperature was very cold, and when she was with a group of old men, she also developed the habit of drinking, but the border was bitter and cold, where is there any wine? I was injured some time ago and was managed by the nurse, and now I can finally relieve my hunger.

Taking a slight sip, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and her moist apricot eyes bent into a crescent moon: "Good wine!" While sipping the wine, I looked up and down the restaurant without a trace.

She heard the grandmother say that the emperor hates the prince's party struggle the most, so every year on the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, several princes will come out to gather together to show the royal brothers and brothers.

At the banquet a few years ago, there was an assassination, and several princes needed to save their image, so as not to displease the Sacred Heart. Xinglong Restaurant is the best restaurant in the imperial capital, and there is a wine altar today, they will definitely come here.

After looking around, the prince didn't see it for the time being, but was noticed by a few students and scholars arguing loudly on the side.

"The land of the grassland Yunnu projectile, my Dayong Dynasty is a country of great resources and etiquette, and the contrast is strong, just like the colorful clouds on the horizon and the sludge on the ground. Yunnu worships every year, offering cattle and sheep, and the heart of surrender is obvious," a scholar in blue plain clothes talked eloquently, "In my humble opinion, my Dayong Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and Yunnu's coins are like chicken ribs, and they are really tasteless." Why not avoid it? ”

"What Song Gongzi said is reasonable."

"Yes, Yun Nu is really not on the stage, I heard that they have a good year and they can't eat, if they encounter a bad year, it will happen that they will eat Yizi, it is really terrible."

"The blood-drinking clan of Ru Mao is really insulting."

Mu Yunlan was sitting not far from them, and when she heard this, she almost threw the wine glass in her hand in their faces, snorting, a group of sour scholars, they still dared to talk about national policies and government affairs, they were full of nonsense and proud, they didn't know what to say!

Her face was full of disdain and sneer, and she was being seen by the blue-clothed scholar who was talking about it just now. The scholar suddenly felt that he was being disrespected: "In the Song Ming Dynasty, this son has objections to my humble opinion just now?" ”

"I don't think about your humble opinion." Mu Yunlan sipped the wine alone, and was extremely disappreciative in her heart: this group of people can only get over their mouths, and I'm afraid they don't even know where Yunnu is.

Song Ming got up and said righteously: "Looking at the child's clothes, his background must be extraordinary, but he can't look down on me and other poor students so much." ”

Mu Yunlan raised her eyes, looking at his angry appearance and didn't know what to react to: I am sick, when did I look down on the poor students?
