Chapter 132: Seeing Through the Trick
As soon as he heard that Yu Ruyan was found by his mother with Xiaodao, Mu Lingzhi's first reaction was that something had happened!
Thinking of last night's incident, Mu Lingzhi was so anxious that his heart was about to jump out, he turned the carriage around and ran towards Guaer Hutong like a fly......
In the secret place at the entrance of Gua'er Hutong Alley, there was an ordinary carriage parked, the curtain of the carriage was tightly covered, and only a small opening was opened at the window.
Mu Ziyue had been waiting for the rabbit all day, and finally looked forward to her prey after dark.
Seeing Yu Ruyan enter the alley alone, her Ying Yingxing's eyes flashed with excitement.
waved and asked the maid who delivered the letter, "How is the concubine Niangniang?" ”
The maid named Makemary is the maid who is married by Yu Ruyan - the real Xiaoqing. After Wen Xiang was mistakenly killed by Mu Lingzhi in the Prince's Mansion, she was retrieved by Mu Ziyue from the Great Qi Palace to deal with Yu Ruyan, stayed by Mu Ziyue's side to serve, and changed her name to Stacky.
Stacky Xiang was also excited, and replied respectfully: "Back to the master, the eldest prince has unknowingly put the letterhead in the Yaohua Palace, I believe that the mother has received the news and rushed over at this moment." ”
There was no light in the carriage, it was dark, and she couldn't see Mu Ziyue's expression clearly, but her bright eyes flashed with pride.
In the dark, she glanced in the direction of Rosewood, and said softly: "Rosewood, you were originally her dowryman, but now, she has recovered her identity and returned to Daliang as the princess of Heshuo." And I'm just a little daughter of the Prime Minister's house, and compared to her, it's far behind. If you regret it, go back to her and serve. ”
"You come forward now, tell her that all this is just a trap, and tell her to leave quickly, believing that she will be grateful to you and accept you again. You must have a brighter future with her than with me. ”
In the dark, although she couldn't see Mu Ziyue's expression clearly, there was a hint of coldness in her seemingly delicate and considerate voice, which made Stacky's whole body stagnate-
has been by her side for so long, how could Stacky not know that this new master is a person who is different from the outside, and she has betrayed Qi and Yu Ruyan before, where is there any reason to go back.
Moreover, she also knew that the words of the new master were just a temptation for her, which meant that he really wanted to let her go.
Stacking knelt in front of Mu Ziyue with a 'plop', and said firmly: "Master, since you rescued me from Daqi, the previous Xiaoqing died, and now there is only Stacky in front of you." And Rosemary will definitely remember the master's kindness to my reincarnation, and will serve the master loyally, only the master is the horse! ”
Mu Ziyue listened to Stacky's words with satisfaction, while always paying attention to the movement outside, at this time, her eyes lit up excitedly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Okay, don't say it, the concubine is here." Go and whisper this news to the ears of the Third Highness. This big drama - how can it be without him. ”
Marima got her order and hurriedly left quietly.
After Yu Ruyan saw the sachet and letterhead left by the knife in the bungalow, she came to Guaer Hutong alone.
She was dressed in ordinary clothes, and when the old neighbors in the alley saw her, they all came up to greet her, thinking that she had moved back with her younger siblings.
When I came to the gate of the courtyard, I pushed it gently, and the door opened.
The courtyard was dark, and only a little light came out from the west wing where she lived.
Looking at the wine jugs piled up at the bottom of the steps, Yuruyan's eyes flashed, she stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed open the door and walked in uneasily.
There was a strong smell of wine in the not too spacious room, and the knife lay on the bed with a crimson face.
Seeing that everything was fine with him, Yu Ruyan's worried heart finally let go.
She had been standing in the doorway without stepping into the room, and after thinking about it, she turned her head and walked outside.
However, at this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Concubine Xie who led a group of palace people to rush in fiercely.
Looking at each other, Concubine Xie looked at Yu Ruyan in the courtyard in surprise, doubts flashed in Ling Lifeng's eyes, and she was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
Seeing the arrival of Concubine Xie, Yu Ruyan was not surprised, she had already expected all this.
She respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "Qi Yu Niangniang, I have been worried about the safety of the prince, seeing that it is dark and there is no news of the prince, I thought that maybe the prince will come to the place where he once lived, so I came here to see, but I didn't expect that the prince was really inside, but he drank a little more wine and was still asleep." I'm about to inform His Highness to take him back to the palace. ”
Listening to Yu Ruyan's words, Concubine Xie Guifei's expression was even more puzzled, her eyes looked at her steadily, and she hesitated: "Here...... Where did Morning No. live?! ”
Without waiting for Yu Ruyan to answer, Concubine Xie Guifei looked at this small courtyard with sharp eyes, it was indeed not a dirty place like the one mentioned in the anonymous letter, and she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Hearing that the prince was fine, Concubine Xie Guifei's heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally put down, and she didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly went into the house, and sure enough, she saw the prince lying on the simple dirt pit with a drunken body, and his face was flushed.
Looking at him, although Concubine Xie felt very heartbroken, she was finally found, and it was okay.
Concubine Xie Guifei didn't care about the simplicity in the house, and sat down at the head of the pit and stroked the prince's face, and said bitterly: "My stupid boy, how can you hide in such a place to drink, if you want to drink, you can drink it when you go back to the palace, you will die of your mother like this." ”
Suddenly, Concubine Xie's eyes were attracted by something on the prince's collar, and her eyes couldn't help but sink, and she said coldly to the palace behind her: "Go and prepare the sedan chair." Take the prince back to the palace, and don't let outsiders know about tonight's events. ”
The palace people responded carefully, stepped forward to carry the prince, Aunt Qin, the most powerful palace maid by Xie Guifei's side, was afraid that the palace people would bump the prince with clumsy hands, so she personally stepped forward to help him sit up, and when her hand touched his left arm, she felt a wet piece through her coat, and her heart trembled, and she carefully put her hand under the dim light to take a look, and her whole body was shocked!
She carefully removed the torn garment from the prince's left arm, revealing the gauze wrapped in bread, and the white gauze was also soaked with blood.
"!" Aunt Qin's voice was trembling, and she whispered to Concubine Xie Guifei's ear.
When Xie Guifei heard this, her whole body trembled with fright, and she hurriedly rushed to the pit to inspect the prince's injuries, and when she saw the blood-stained gauze on his hands, her body trembled with anger, but she still gritted her teeth to hold back the heartache and anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Don't make a noise first, and quietly bring the prince back to the palace." Tomorrow is his seal ceremony, and he can't see blood, so he can't let the emperor know that he is injured. Let Imperial Doctor Li quietly go to Yaohua Palace! ”
"The slave knows." Aunt Qin got the order of Concubine Xie Guifei, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she led the palace people to help the prince onto the sedan chair and go to the palace.
When she came out of the courtyard, looking at Yu Ruyan standing aside calmly and respectfully, Xie Guifei remembered what was said in the anonymous letter, and doubts flashed in her eyes, but it was important to send the prince back to the palace at the moment, so Xie Guifei didn't say a word, and said to her with a slight coldness: "It's late at night, now that the prince has been found safely, you can go back too, so as not to worry Ling Zhi." ”
Yuru smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'll go back immediately." ”
At this moment, Mu Ling rushed to the courtyard in a hurry, just in time to see the mother concubine leading everyone back.
He anxiously searched for Yu Ruyan's figure in the crowd, and when he saw her staying in the courtyard safely, his heart was relieved, and he stepped forward and said to Xie Guifei: "Mother, has the prince found it?" Is everything alright? ”
Thinking of the injuries on the prince's body, Xie Guifei's face was gloomy and about to drip water, and she suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "Everything is fine with the prince, you have been busy for a day, hurry up and go back to rest, tomorrow's seal ceremony will not be in chaos again." ”
Concubine Xie's words made Mu Lingzhi nervous, tomorrow's ordination ceremony, I don't know what kind of mess the unwilling prince will stir up?
After Concubine Xie left, Mu Lingzhi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, walked up to Yu Ruyan and wondered, "What happened, why did you appear here?" ”
Yu Ruyan's heart was covered with ice and snow, her face was pale, and the cold sweat on her back was cold on her body.
Thinking of Fang Cai's danger, I couldn't help but shudder!
It wasn't until she saw Concubine Xie Guifei's sedan chair go away that Yu Ruyan let go of her guard and said with a wry smile: "Is Your Highness worried about me?" ”
"Yes, as soon as I heard that you stayed with Chenzhi and were seen by your mother, I felt that something was wrong. What happened? How did you come here? Mu Lingzhi looked at the look on her face and knew that things must not be as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Yu Ruyan glanced around casually, and said softly: "Your Highness, this is not a good place to talk, let's go back first." ”
Mu Lingzhi understood what she meant, if someone really deliberately framed her, then there must be people around who were watching.
He carried her on the horse, hugged her to his chest and drove back to the house together, passing by the wine shop at the entrance of the alley, Yu Ruyan suddenly made a voice to stop, and turned around to ask him if he had silver taels on him?
Mu Lingzhi asked her puzzledly, "Do you want to drink today?" ”
Although Yu Ruyan was depressed, she still smiled bitterly at him and said, "Your Highness, if it weren't for a word from the lady of the wine shop today, I would have fallen into someone else's trap today and couldn't get out." ”
Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi was stunned, and he didn't have time to ask anything, so he took out all the silver tickets on his body and stuffed them into her hand and said, "I really want to thank you for this great kindness!" ”
Yu Ruyan turned over and dismounted, and quietly stuffed the silver ticket through the crack in the door.
There is a seventy-year-old mother-in-law who is paralyzed in bed on the wine shop, and she has to pull four children below, and her husband died two years ago, so the family's expenses and heavy work are pressed on the eldest mother, Yu Ruyan hopes that these silver tickets can help the family solve the constraints of life, so that the eldest mother can not work so hard.
Returning to the palace and closing the door of Yunsong Courtyard, Mu Ling asked her solemnly: "Can you tell me what happened to me now?" ”
Yu Ruyan silently showed Mu Lingzhi the sachet on her body and the letterhead signed with a knife, her heart was filled with coldness, and she said coldly: "I didn't expect that I would be targeted one day after I came back." When I saw these things in the bungalow, I thought they were knives, but now it seems that they were traps dug by someone else that led me to jump in. ”
Mu Lingzhi read the letterhead word by word from beginning to end with a calm face, frowned and said, "This letter alone does not make people suspicious, how did you find something wrong?" ”
Yu Ruyan sighed and said: "When I went to Guaer Lane, I happened to meet the lady of the wine shop, she told me that Xiaodao made five pots of wine at her place at this time last night, and she said that this time the newly brewed pear blossom was very drunk, so I told Xiaodao to drink less......"
"Although Xiaodao's alcohol consumption is good, he has a habit, after getting drunk, he must sleep for a day and a night for twelve hours before waking up, and he can't wake up for an hour, so during this period, he will have time to write to me, and go to the palace to leave me a sachet."
"From that moment, I felt that things were weird, and, according to Xiaodao's character, if he arrived at the palace, how could he bear not to look for me, so, after listening to the words of the eldest mother, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, but I couldn't rest assured of him after all, and I also wanted to find him as soon as possible, so I went to the small courtyard, and now he is really there, just ......"
Mu Ling looked at the words on the letterhead carefully, carefully figuring out them one by one, and a chill gradually spread in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "What else have you seen?" ”
Yu Ruyan's heart trembled, and she trembled: "Your Highness should also know that there is a habit of drinking with a knife, even if he is drunk, he will not blush, and his face will only be blue, but this time, a strange red tide appeared on his face, and it was ...... It was the same as when he smelled the aphrodisiac incense in the prince's mansion, so I knew completely in my heart that all this was deliberately done by someone tonight......"
Later, Niangniang appeared in the courtyard after her, and I was even more sure that it was all a trap - someone asked me to meet under the pretense of Xiaodao, and then gave Xiaodao an aphrodisiac, and then notified Niangniang to come...... Catch the adulterer. Mind - too vicious! Was...... I actually want my mother to misunderstand my relationship with the knife...... Fortunately, after Xiaodao was drunk, he didn't sleep for a full hour, so he didn't wake up......"
Yu Ruyan said in the end, her voice was shaking-
This person's mind is too poisonous, and he deliberately set up a situation to mix her with the knife. This person knew what the knife was thinking about him, and he also gave him an aphrodisiac, if it weren't for his drunkenness being too dangerous, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist the effect of the aphrodisiac, and when she appeared in front of him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And if the concubine Niangniang saw that she was entangled with a knife, she would definitely not believe what she said, and she would think that she was a water-based poplar and was circling between the two brothers. At that time, Concubine Xie Guifei, who is anxious to protect her son, will definitely not make a public announcement about this matter, but will only quietly dispose of her to cover up the truth......
Hearing the end, Mu Ling's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a perfect plan, it turned out to be a seamless plan, if it weren't for your cleverness, this matter would ...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
"However, no matter how well she does it, she still forgets that in this world, who can imitate the words of the knife so similarly, except for her who taught the knife to write!"
That thin piece of paper turned to ashes under Mu Lingzhi's rage, and the cold in his eyes was awe-inspiring!
Since childhood, Prince Wing, he and Mu Ziyue grew up with Chenzhi, Chenzhi's calligraphy and painting were all taught by Mu Ziyue, and she also taught him to draw a portrait of a yaksha. Therefore, except for Mu Ziyue, no one can imitate the exact same font as the knife.
Mu Lingzhi admittedly didn't expect that after such a long time, Mu Ziyue didn't have the slightest repentance, but instead intensified, and the more vicious his methods became.
If it weren't for the fact that it was late at night, he would have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to question her now.
And Yu Ruyan listened to his words, and then saw the description on his face, and immediately understood that the 'she' in his mouth was Mu Ziyue!
A cold sweat poured down, and before she could speak, Mu Lingzhi had already thought of a place with her, frowning and saying with a cold face: "Last night's incident, except for you and me, no one else knows, how did Mu Ziyue know?" ”
Yu Ruyan couldn't hold back the fear in her heart anymore and sat down, her whole body shivered, and she trembled: "Since she revealed this secret, she must have tried her best to let Niangniang know, and Niangniang ...... Now, she doesn't have to do anything to kill me. ”
Mu Lingzhi had already thought of the problem she was worried about, his face was like frost, and he hugged Yu Ruyan into his arms with a painful heart, and said hatefully: "Don't worry, since I already know about her conspiracy, I will definitely not let her succeed again, if she dares to hurt you again, I will let the entire Mufu bury her!" ”
"Is there any way Your Highness can cure her?" As soon as Yu Ruyan thought of this matter, if she let the concubine know about it, she didn't know what the consequences would be, and her whole body suddenly fell into an ice cave!
Mu Lingzhi was about to speak, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Tong Qian said anxiously outside: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, Niangniang sent someone to summon and let His Highness and the princess enter the palace immediately!" ”
Both of them were shocked when they heard this, and the teacup in Yu Ruyan's hand shook, and the teacup rolled to the ground......
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, at this time, the concubine was summoned, and the two of them thought that it must be about the knife!
On this side, Mu Lingzhi braved the meager morning light and walked towards the palace with Yu Ruyan. At the city gate, an ordinary and simple carriage was anxiously waiting for the city gate to open.
In the carriage, Stacky carefully sat in the corner, feeling the anger on Mu Ziyue's body, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out.
Mu Ziyue's expression was gloomy, and there was no longer any excitement in her eyes, full of cold frost, mixed with surprise and doubt, and endless hatred churned in her heart-
I thought that tonight's plan was seamless, as long as Yu Ruyan stepped into the room and used a knife to scorch her emotions towards Yu Ruyan, and then under the stimulation of lewd Huo Cao, she would definitely not be able to control Yu Ruyan to sleep.
And Yu Ruyan, a weak woman, must be a knife that struggles but is stimulated by lust and loses her mind, let the concubine Niangniang in at the right time, and witness all this with her own eyes, I am afraid that no matter what her identity is now, no matter how Mu Lingzhi protects her, she can't hide the matter so simply like last night-Xie Guifei will definitely not let her go!
Xie Guifei is well-known for protecting her shortcomings, not to mention that this matter is also related to her two sons, if she knows that Yu Ruyan wants to marry Mu Lingzhi as the princess, but on the other hand, she is shamelessly entangled with Mu Chenzhi, with Xie Guifei's character who can't tolerate sand in her eyes, she doesn't know how to cut Yu Ruyan with a thousand knives!
All this was originally set by Mu Ziyue, and even she expected Yu Ruyan's final ending, but she expected everything, but she didn't expect that Yu Ruyan's heart was as fine as dust, and it was already unusual before stepping into the hospital.
Therefore, when Mu Ziyue carefully hid in the dark and excitedly waited for the news of Yu Ruyan's execution, it was quiet in the small courtyard, and there was no sound, and before Mu Lingzhi came, the concubine had already asked the prince to take him out, and everyone's faces were calm and ordinary, as if nothing had happened inside!
Mu Ziyue was completely shocked!
She obviously saw Yu Ruyan go in with her own eyes, and she also clearly planted lewd grass on the wound of the knife, as long as this grass is stained with the wound and enters the body, it will stimulate people's lust and madness, and it will be uncontrollable......
Everything was clearly planned, but in the end, why didn't there be anything in the yard, and that slut didn't have anything at all?!
Mu Ziyue hid in the carriage with hatred and fear, and watched Mu Lingzhi leave intimately with her, and her whole body froze.
When everyone was finished, she came back from the shock, and suddenly remembered the letter she wrote to Yu Ruyan in imitation of the handwriting of a knife, and her heart couldn't stop sinking......
At that time, in order to make Yu Ruyan believe, she took the risk of imitating the handwriting of a knife to write the letter, she thought that as long as Yu Ruyan was caught and raped by Xie Guifei on the spot, Xie Guifei's temperament would definitely not give her a chance to defend herself. As soon as she died, the letter would sink into the sea and would not be revealed.
But now that Yu Ruyan is not dead, then she will definitely show this letter to Mu Lingzhi, others can't see anything, and Mu Lingzhi will definitely see the clues in it and know that the letter was written by her.
Unexpectedly, everything that was carefully planned turned out to be unfavorable, and it made Mu Lingzhi hate.
Thinking of Mu Lingzhi's cold gaze, Mu Ziyue's whole body trembled, she finally mustered up the courage to save her relationship with him, how could she make him hate herself as soon as she came back, so she had to find a way to make him not suspect herself.
Mu Ziyue was at stake in the end, but in an instant, she thought that she would immediately go out of the city and return to the camellia town where she had sought medical treatment before, only in this way could she convince Mu Lingzhi that she had been far away from the camellia town in the eastern capital for a period of time, so that he could believe that she had not done these things.
When she came back from seeking medical treatment this time, only the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew about it, as long as her father gave a strict order, no one dared to say anything nonsense in front of Mu Lingzhi.
After the city gate was opened, the coachman took the waist card of the Mu Mansion, and according to Mu Ziyue's instructions, it was said that the Xiangye asked him to send some things to the eldest lady who was seeking medical treatment in Camellia Town, and the person guarding the city saw that he had the waist card of the Xiang Mansion, so he let the carriage go out of the city easily without saying a word.
After leaving the city, looking at the eastern capital that was getting farther and farther away, and then looking at Mu Ziyue's gritted teeth, Stacky finally said indignantly: "Miss finally cured her scalp and came back, this time she just wanted to take advantage of the prince's seal ceremony to show her face, but I didn't expect ......"
Stacky didn't say it, but when she said it, it completely aroused Mu Ziyue's sadness!
In order to cure her leprosy, she can be said to have experienced the worst pain in the world-
Tear off the scarred scalp alive, and then soak it every day with a special potion concocted by the master to make a new scalp grow on the head.
And the potion that soaked the scalp, as soon as it touched the bloody head, was like pouring hot oil on the head, and the pain reminded her of the nightmare when the sugar water splashed on her head in the candy man's shop......
In order to cure her head and regain her qualifications to marry Mu Lingzhi, Mu Ziyue not only worshipped a blind Taoist aunt who lived in seclusion in Camellia Town as her teacher, but also gritted her teeth and endured inhuman torture and pain, just to become the first beauty of Daliang again and regain Mu Lingzhi's love!
But she also knew that if she wanted to regain Mu Lingzhi's heart, the most important thing to do was to get rid of Yu Ruyan!
But it was obvious that she showed Yu Ruyan's death hole, and carefully laid out everything, but let her escape again!
"Why, why is that slut's good life again and again, but always can't help her, why?" Mu Ziyue's face was distorted, and she was so angry that she went crazy.
Stacking on the side was frightened by Mu Ziyue's crazy appearance, she suddenly thought of something, and said to Mu Ziyue tremblingly: "Master, I know why I can't help that slut." ”
"What's the reason, tell me quickly!" When Mu Ziyue heard this, she couldn't wait to shout.
