Chapter 70: Seeing Flowers in the Mist
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and she looked back and couldn't help but be stunned!
I saw a person slowly walking in at the door, dressed in white, his face was pale and almost transparent, his clear eyes showed a dazzling light, and there was a faint cold light flashing between the flashes of light, and he walked towards the house without squinting.
The person who came was one of the protagonists of the adulterous affair, Yue Yu!
It was only at this time that Mu Ziyue suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong, according to her previous arrangement, Yue Yu should be lying naked on the bed with that slut at this time, what's right? But he came in through the door!
She looked back at Mu Lingzhi in a little panic, but saw that he was also looking at her in surprise like a prince, there was no heartache on his face, and his eyes had returned to normal.
Suddenly, a bad thought flashed in his heart, and before he had time to step forward to check the person on the bed, Yue Yu's cold voice had slowly sounded in the room: "Miss Mu, I have only heard of your name, but I didn't expect that the maid of your mansion would be such an unbearable person, is this the way of life in Mufu?" ”
Mu Ziyue's heart jumped, could it really be that the dead girl who smelled the fragrance was clumsy and exposed?
She stabilized her mind, her face was confused and ignorant, and she asked in a daze, "What does Gongzi Yue mean?" Could it be that my maid has offended her son? After speaking, she pretended to say to the little girl on the side: "Go and find the smelling fragrance and let her apologize to the son!" ”
"No need! The Third Highness has already helped the grass people deal with it! Yue Yu's voice was like a thunderbolt on Mu Ziyue's head, she was stunned for a moment, rushed to the bed in disbelief, and lifted the curtain open, due to excessive force, the curtain was torn in half with a 'hiss', and everything on the bed was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
I saw that between the messy bedding, the person who was stabbed in the chest by a sword and fell to the ground and died was Mu Ziyue's maid smelling the fragrance!
Wen Xiang was only wearing thin obscene clothes, her face was glowing with a strange red light, and there was a lewd smile on her lips after her death, which made everyone's hearts sink!
Ying Yingxing's eyes widened, her eyes seemed to fall out of her sockets, Mu Ziyue looked at the person on the bed stupidly, and she still didn't believe that this person was not Yu Ruyan but smelled incense. She looked at the person lying in a pool of blood in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "What the hell is going on? ”
The copper coin on the side watched the master stab the person on the bed with a sword in anger, and he always thought that the person on the bed must be Yu Ruyan, because he had personally come to this room to find her twice before.
Thinking that she betrayed her master and did such a shameful thing, he hated her, but when he thought that she had been taking care of herself a lot and couldn't bear it, and now the person who suddenly appeared on the bed was not Yu Ruyan but the smell of fragrance next to Miss Mu, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy for Yu Ruyan, but he was as puzzled as Mu Ziyue in his heart, "Strange, this is Xiaoqing's room where she rests, why is the smell of incense on the bed in the room?" ”
He saw Xiaoqing here with his own eyes!
Since it's not her, where is Xiaoqing?
Everyone looked at this farce with puzzled expressions, and Mu Lingzhi was even more long-eyebrowed, not understanding what was going on?
I only heard Yue Yu's cold voice slowly sounding among everyone: "Miss Mu's maid pretended to be Xiaoqing's identity and asked the grass people to meet here." Unexpectedly, after the grass people arrived, they saw that the aphrodisiac spices were burning in this room, and Miss Mu's maid took the opportunity to do something wrong to the grass people······"
"Wow!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!
Ever before, the world has only heard of a man bowing to a female overlord, but I have never heard of this woman being so bold and outrageous! Everyone looked at Mu Ziyue in disbelief, smelling the fragrance is her personal girl, the girl is such a person, so this master ······
Wang Tianyu couldn't hold back, and spit fiercely in the direction of the mahogany bed: "It's a shame that it's a girl taught by Shangshufu, so shameless!" Well dead! ”
Mu Ziyue's whole body trembled when she heard this, and she almost fell, she grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, Ying Yingxing's eyes swelled with deep hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I don't believe that Wenxiang is such a person, she grew up beside me since she was a child, and she is the most simple and decent person, how could she do such a bold thing, Yue Gongzi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public with your words alone!" ”
Hearing this, Yue Yu couldn't help but look embarrassed, yes, just based on his words, he decided that the subordinate from the dignified prime minister's mansion was such an unbearable person, it was really hard to believe!
His pale face showed a little helplessness, and after a while, he sighed softly, slowly rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and raised his arm: "If Miss Mu insists on refusing to believe it, the grass people can't help it, but at that time, only me and she were in the room, and I couldn't find a third person to corroborate it, but the scratches on the grass people were indeed scratched by her. ”
When everyone heard the sound, they saw a few eye-catching scratches on his smooth arms, and they couldn't help but completely believe his words.
Mu Ziyue's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she muttered, "How is it possible? Why did she do it? ”
Now, there is nothing to justify smelling incense, her eyes lit up, and her mind turned sharply-
She doesn't feel heartache for the death of a girl, but she can't let Wen Xiang bear such a shameful charge, because this is not Wen Xiang's business alone, but about the face of the entire Xiangfu, let people know that the Xiangfu taught such a subordinate, but I am afraid that the first life of the Prime Minister's reputation will be abolished.
And she herself, as the master of smelling incense, will be criticized by others, teaching such a minion, how will people look at her in the future, and how can she gain a foothold in the Eastern Capital? Will the saint have a great impression of her after knowing this, but I am afraid that her position as the crown princess will be difficult to protect!
But in an instant, she put away the hatred in her eyes, suddenly looked at the prince and Mu Lingzhi with tears in her eyes, knelt down and said pitifully: "Prince, Your Highness, this matter is too strange, and I ask the two highnesses to help me find out the truth, and smell my innocence!" ”
Apricot eyes with tears, crystal tears fell down like pearls with broken threads, the beautiful face raised was more pitiful than pear blossoms with rain, Mu Lingzhi's eyes were warm, and he was about to help her, but the prince had already rushed to help her up, and comforted her softly: "Xiaoyue, what are you doing?" Although she is your girl, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry, this palace will definitely find out about this matter and give you an explanation. ”
After speaking, he turned around and looked at the guests, and said solemnly: "Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, you must not spread it everywhere, if you let the palace know that someone is spreading oil and vinegar everywhere, you will not be spared!" ”
He saw that Yue Yu's face darkened, afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly comforted him: "It's not that this palace doesn't believe what Yue Gongzi said, it's just that there are many doubts in this matter, and this palace can find out thoroughly and give Gongzi an explanation!" ”
Yue Yu lowered his eyelids low, his long eyelashes blocked the chill under his eyes, his tone was calm, and he didn't care: "The prince is wise, and the grass people are also very curious, who wants to put the grass people in such an unbearable field?" ”
His voice was cold, with a hint of imperceptible chill, and he said slowly: "Today is the crown prince's birthday, but someone deliberately set a trap to lure the grass people into the game, and did unkind things to anger His Highness, so as to destroy the relationship between the grass people and His Highness. The grass people are just a small business, and it is not worth people's attention for me, from this point of view, the mastermind behind this matter is not coming at the grass people, but I am afraid that the real purpose is - the prince! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the prince's face had changed greatly!
Yue Gongzi's analysis is reasonable, just think about it, the guest present today is not a more noble identity than him, why don't you pick someone else, but pick the worst background Yue Gongzi to start, is it that the person behind the scenes actually knows the plan in his heart?
A chill suddenly spread from the roots of the prince's feet to the top of his head, he couldn't help but look at Mu Lingzhi opposite, but then he felt that it was unlikely, before, he had been ridiculed by everyone and cuckolded angrily The leader came out to catch the adulterer!
He looked at the smell of the cold incense on the bed, and his heart sank, the people behind the scenes seemed to be intent on destroying his relationship with the Prime Minister, it was really terrifying!
And Mu Ziyue, who was standing beside him, had already been chilled by Yue Yu's words, she never expected that she was just planning to get rid of a small military prostitute, but in the end, she lost her henchman and involved so many terrible conspiracies!
Mu Lingzhi had been quietly listening to everyone's words, his eyes were deep, as if he was pondering something. Suddenly, he thought that there was a person who had not appeared, and at this time, Yu Wan, who had not been silent, was surprised: "What about Miss Xiaoqing?" I haven't seen her, where is she? ”
As soon as she reminded her, everyone was in a commotion here, but they didn't see Yu Ruyan's figure, and they couldn't help but be surprised and felt very strange!
Mu Lingzhi asked Tong Qian with a gloomy face: "Didn't you tell me that she had been staying in the wing room all the time?" What about people? ”
The copper coin was confusing to the second monk, and said depressedly: "The slave did see her grooming in this room with her own eyes······" Halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of Yue Yu's words, suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise: "The backs I saw before daring to love were all pretending to smell incense?" ”
Mu Lingzhi's face was pale, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, she disappeared for so long, nothing would happen, right?
Yu Wan saw that there was such a big thing in the mansion today, and she had already died for no reason, if something went wrong with Yu Ruyan, she was afraid that she would really not be able to deal with it, so she hurriedly ordered her to go down and let the people in the whole mansion go around looking for Yu Ruyan.
Here, the prince has asked the body of the smelling incense to be removed, and everyone is not willing to stay in this place anymore, so everyone returns to the banquet.
Mu Ziyue leaned aside with tears on her face, sobbing quietly, very sad and sad, everyone saw her like this, and it was not good to say that she was not good at teaching others, but they sympathized with her one by one.
She lowered her eyebrows, and looked heartbroken, but her lowered eyes were cold, her teeth were clucking, and her heart was full of hatred—
Unexpectedly, not only did she not get rid of that slut, but she put it together, she really broke the lady and lost the army, she was so unwilling!
Resentful in his heart, crying even more sadly on his face, Mu Lingzhi saw it, he couldn't bear it, thinking that after all, he killed Wenxiang by mistake, he couldn't help feeling guilty, got up and sat down beside her, and was about to say something to comfort, but he saw the people of the palace coming over with a person in their arms-
The person who came was soaking wet, and his head was still dripping, as if he had just been fished out of the water, it was the missing Yu Ruyan.
Seeing her, Mu Ling's heart was relieved, but looking at her appearance, he frowned again, what's wrong with her?
In late autumn, the weather was already cold, not to mention that she had just climbed ashore from the water. Yu Ruyan's whole body was shivering, her little face was pale, as if there was a layer of white frost, her lips were frozen blue-purple, and her wet head was attached to her head, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
She walked step by step, her cold gaze stopped at Mu Ziyue's body through the crowd, and when she saw Mu Lingzhi's hand protecting her shoulder, her eyes dimmed, and a trace of sourness welled up in her heart!
She knelt in the center of the venue, suppressed the trembling of her whole body, and said with difficulty: "The prince forgives the sin, today is your birthday, but let His Highness worry about it, disturb everyone, the slave deserves death, and please punish His Highness!" ”
Her body was already thin, and when the cold wind blew, it was even more shaky, seeing Mu Lingzhi's heart jump, and she couldn't help but want to get up and put on her clothes, Mu Ziyue suddenly leaned over, and she was about to fall to the ground, he hurriedly turned around and helped her up.
However, just this moment of stay made Yu Ruyan's heart feel cold!
She watched Mu Ling's heart ache and hugged Mu Ziyue into her arms and sat down, her body was cold, and her heart was even colder!
The whole body shook even more, and the teeth couldn't stop knocking.
Suddenly, her body was warm, and at some point, Yue Yu had stepped forward to take off her coat and put it on her carefully, and said to the prince on the other: "The grass people ask His Highness to let Miss Xiaoqing go down and change into clean clothes first, and then come to ask for sin!" ”
Yu Ruyan's heart was hot, and he looked at the man kneeling with him in front of him in a daze, and the sourness in his heart was like waves, and wave after wave hit more turbulent-
He is only a few friends with him, but he defends himself everywhere, and the people who should protect him are watching from the sidelines, carefully caring for others!
My heart was suddenly cold!
The prince frowned, unhappy in his heart, but he had to say in a muffled voice: "Go down first and change your clothes before you talk back!" ”
After she thanked her, she turned around and left without a sound, and when she left, her cold eyes glanced coldly at Mu Ziyue, who looked delicate and pitiful, and the latter was stabbed by her gaze, and suddenly felt like a pins and needles!
Mu Ziyue's palms hidden in her sleeves were about to bleed, she hated and feared in her heart, she hated Yu Ruyan for being able to turn evil into good fortune every time, and escaped being framed again and again, but she was afraid that she would confess her regardless of it!
And Mu Lingzhi, who was beside her, looked at Yue Yu, who was handsome and peerless beside Yu Ruyan, her face was ugly and about to drip water, and she drank the wine in front of her in a sip in a troubled mood.
Mu Ziyue is smart in the end, her eyes turned, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Mu Lingzhi faintly, her apricot eyes were full of tears, and her tone was pitiful: "Ling Zhi, if others suspect that everything Wenxiang did was instructed by me, do you believe it?" ”
He was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "How could it be that you instigated it?" I never believed you were such a person. Don't worry, I believe you no matter what! ”
"Ling Zhi, I'm so scared." Her whole body trembled like a sieve, and a pair of delicate little hands held Mu Lingzhi tightly, her appearance was so pitiful that it made people reluctant to give up!
"You don't have to worry, Wenxiang is your girl, but everything she does has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid!" Mu Lingzhi had never seen her so delicate and helpless, and he couldn't bear it, so he held her hands tightly in his palms to encourage and comfort her.
Hearing his words, Mu Ziyue instantly ate a reassuring pill, a sweet smile appeared on her face that she had not seen for a long time, and she couldn't help but sneer proudly in her heart, slut, wait, I won't give up!
Yu Ruyan changed into clean clothes and knelt down in front of everyone again, and the prince looked at her and asked coldly: "You don't participate in the good banquet, where have you been for so long?" ”
She raised her head suddenly, a cold light flashed in her cold eyes, and she replied coldly: "Your Highness, you can ask Miss Mu and her maid to smell the fragrance!" It was they who knocked the slave unconscious and threw it into a pool, and the slave and maid struggled in the water for a long time before they were lucky enough to swim back to the shore······"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Mu Ziyue, Yue Yu stood in front of everyone with her, and her clear eyes were also cold and looked at Mu Ziyue with an innocent look!
Mu Ziyue's whole body was shocked, Ying Yingxing's eyes were flustered, and she said ignorantly and innocently: "What nonsense is my sister talking about?" I've been at the banquet since I left the garden, and I've never seen my sister again, how can I do this to my sister. ”
She looked like a little white rabbit just waiting to be slaughtered, full of innocence and pity, and said in a panic: "Could it be that Wenxiang did something to her sister?" It's a pity that she has died in Huangquan and can't come out······" Before she finished speaking, she seemed to be sad, and she cried sadly.
Smelling incense dead? Yu Ruyan's expression froze, and her first reaction was to look back at Yue Yu beside her, her eyes were full of incredulity-
Could it be that Yue Yu shot to kill her!
Yue Yu understood her thoughts, and wrote lightly: "I smelled the incense and was hit by the aphrodisiac incense, and I wanted to do something wrong to me, and I was mistakenly killed by the Third Highness!" ”
Manslaughter?
Yu Ruyan was stunned on the spot, and after a while, she realized that someone must have told Mu Lingzhi that she and Yue Yu were doing something wrong in the wing, and Mu Ling's letter was true before she would kill someone!
In other words, if the person in the room just now is himself, he must be the one who died!
Does he distrust her like that?
The chill of the terrible snake crawled all over her body along the soles of her feet, and she shivered, it turned out that in his heart, he had never really believed in her, nor had he really accepted her!
Looking up, Mu Lingzhi gently accompanied Mu Ziyue and looked at her from above, with a cold look on her face and gloomy eyes, as if she was blaming her for hurting Mu Ziyue. Her heart ached, her body was cold and hot, she couldn't stand on her feet and almost fell to the ground, but was held by Yue Yu.
When the prince saw Mu Ziyue crying, he was even more dissatisfied with Yu Ruyan in his heart, and said sharply: "Xiaoyue has been drinking and gossiping with us here, how could he harm you!" A little maid dares to slander the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, how can it be unreasonable! ”
Yu Ruyan's heart was shocked. She looked at Mu Ziyue, who had a delicate face, and knew that now that she smelled incense and died, there was no proof of death, and everyone would not believe what she said.
But even so, she didn't want to let go of that hypocritical and vicious White Lotus!
She looked at Mu Ziyue coldly, and said in a loud voice: "Miss Mu said on her face that she would accompany the slave and maid to the wing room to rest and freshen up, but she didn't expect to go to the wing room and smell the fragrance and beat me unconscious with a stick, and then throw the slave and maid into the water and drown." Fortunately, the slave and maid had a big life, and they floated ashore, so that they could leave a small life to testify against the wicked. ”
After that, she leaned sideways and picked up a waterfall-like green silk and showed her neck to everyone. When everyone looked at it, they saw that her snow-white neck was black purple, which was obviously a mark left by the impact of a heavy object.
And when she was just recovered, she was indeed soaked, and the people of the palace could also testify that she was indeed in the pool behind the wing room, so that everyone's gaze at Mu Ziyue began to become dark and uncertain.
The upright Wang Tianyu had already stood up, looked at Mu Ziyue with a sarcastic look in his eyes, and said disdainfully: "It turns out that the truth of the facts is actually like this!" The master and servant are embarrassed, and they take this opportunity to help their own girls rise to the top in addition to the enemies in their eyes. What a good means. ”
When the prince heard this, his face was also a little shaken - is it really as this Wang Tianyu said, all this is Xiaoyue's troublemaker behind his back?
As soon as this thought came out, he frightened himself, and couldn't help but quickly shake his head to drive away this terrible thought, and said in a reprimand: "Before the matter is clarified, Miss Wang must not make a conclusion indiscriminately, I don't believe that Xiaoyue will do such a hurtful thing!" ”
As soon as his words fell, Yue Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, said slowly: "The aphrodisiac incense in the wing room is still a thing produced by a small country in the Western Regions, it is extremely precious, and it is rare to have a daughter. ”
What he meant by his words was that Wen Xiang could have precious spices in his hands that only found in small countries in the Western Regions, and they must have been given by others, and this person was most likely her master, Mu Ziyue.
His words once again targeted Mu Ziyue.
At this point, the truth of the matter seemed to have come out, and everyone sighed in their hearts, looking at the prince one by one, waiting for him to take a final decision.
From the beginning to the present, Mu Lingzhidu, who was sitting on the side, did not say a word, his eyes were dark, his face was gloomy, and he just drank one glass after another, as if he had put everything in front of him aside.
After Yu Ruyan finished accusing Mu Ziyue, she stopped speaking, she looked at the man who was drinking for a moment, and her heart was like a thick layer of ice, cold and biting!
As smart as he is, he should be able to see the conspiracy at a glance, but he chooses to be silent, and his silence is to protect the person in his heart!
The prince looked at Mu Ziyue, who was stunned, and said slowly, "Xiaoyue, what do you have to say?" ”
Mu Ziyue had been shedding tears, and at this time, she suddenly wiped the tears from her face and rushed to Yu Ruyan and shouted, "Sister, why did you wronged me?" I just kindly sent you to the wing room and immediately turned back and came back, I didn't stop for half a moment at all, and the smell of the fragrance was just that I saw you and didn't show up for a long time and asked her to find you, and now, she died in your room inexplicably, and you still conspired with Yue Gongzi to defile me, it's too much! ”
"Wenxiang has been by my side since she was a child, she has always followed the rules, her temperament is gentle and kind, how could she become a vicious and disgusting person in your mouth overnight, she has no grudge against you, and it is the first time she has met with Yue Gongzi, what purpose does she have to do this?"
Mu Ziyue's heartbroken Chongyu Ruyan cried, as if she had suffered a great grievance, and cried into a tearful person. Her eyes flashed and she suddenly realized: "I understand, it must be when I smell the fragrance and go to look for you, I see something that I shouldn't see, and you will be framed by you······"
With a 'plop', she knelt heavily in front of the prince and pleaded: "Your Highness, the slave and maid of the courtiers died too unjustly, and please ask Your Highness to seek justice for her." ”
The sudden reversal of the plot was so intense that the guests present were confused, and they were stunned on the spot like looking at flowers in the fog.
