Chapter 150: Good Birds Choose Trees
When Mu Lingzhi saw the small simple and generous bamboo card, his pupils widened, his whole body trembled, and the feather card actually slipped in his hand, and fell to the ground with a 'click'
The old people in the palace all know that the late Queen Zhu was ingenious by nature, in addition to spinning a good yarn, but also good at carving all kinds of gadgets with Nanzhu, when the Wing Prince was a child, Queen Zhu personally carved a bamboo plaque for him, which was engraved with a handsome horse with wings soaring into the sky, because the Wing Prince zodiac is a horse, and the word 'wing' in his name is the meaning of flying with wings. γLatest chapter reading. γ
From childhood to adulthood, this small bamboo plaque is the most cherished thing of Prince Yi, and he has always carried it on his body like a baby, and he has never left his body.
And Mu Lingzhi has been close to him since he was a child, of course he has seen this feather medal!
Although many years have passed, Mu Lingzhi believes that he will not admit his mistake, the feather plate that Yue Yu gave to Yu Ruyan is the one that Queen Zhu gave to Prince Yi back then!
Mu Lingzhi picked up the feather tag that fell on the ground in a daze, and now, he almost didn't have to doubt that the world-famous mysterious merchant was his cousin ---- the former wing prince!
Now that I think about it, the word 'feather' in Yue Yu is not exactly the word 'wing' taken from the wing, and the meaning of the word is so similar!
I didn't expect him to be so close to him, always there
Mu Lingzhi sat dumbfounded, his expression deep in thought, and he didn't even hear Yu Ruyan call him. There was chaos and shock in my head.
Back at the palace, Mu Lingzhi called Dr. Wu to help Yu Ruyan see a doctor as soon as possible, and after Dr. Wu showed her, he prescribed medicine to dispel cold, Mu Lingzhi and other medicines were decocted, personally fed her to drink, and watched her fall asleep before going out with confidence.
As soon as he went out, he summoned the secret guards and ordered them to find Yue Yu.
But he also knew that Yue Yu's whereabouts were unusually secretive, and even with so many shopkeepers in the Yue family's shop, none of them knew where the Yue family's mansion was, let alone where Yue Yu was?
Last night, he led people to look for a night and didn't find it, desperate, he remembered that when he went to the Wuwei Medical Center to find Yue Yu before, he thought of the carrier pigeons he had seen there in that yard, and he had a flash of inspiration, Yue Yu sent all the secret guards and soldiers around him who had made great achievements, and almost caught the pigeons in the entire Eastern Capital
Mu Lingzhi asked them to tie a note to the legs of the pigeons they caught, and asked Yue Yu to show up and go to Wangyue Pavilion to save Yu Ruyan.
He thought that one of these thousands of pigeons would always be a carrier pigeon, and he didn't want to let it go, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance.
Unexpectedly, this method worked, but in the end, Yue Yu appeared smoothly!
Now that he wants to see him again, Mu Lingzhi has no other way, only this way.
But he was worried that if he asked Yue Yu to come out to see him again in his own name, he was afraid that he would not come out to see him again!
He frowned and said, "Let you follow the carriage, have you found out where the Yue family's old mansion is?" β
The secret guard knelt down in shame, and said ashamedly: "The subordinates are incompetent, quietly follow the carriage, and then the carriage entered an inn, after the people got off, the carriage stopped outside, but the subordinates waited until just now, two hours have passed, but no one came out, and when the subordinates brought people in to find it, the whole inn was without the figure of the Yue Gongzi, our people obviously guarded the front and rear exits of the inn, and did not see him come out, but there was no one in the inn!" β
The dark guard's words couldn't help but remind Mu Lingzhi of Yue Yu's face that was completely different from Yitai's, and doubts also flashed in his heart.
Suddenly, he thought that he had heard that Yu Ruyan had heard that there was a kind of realistic human skin mask in the world, could it be that Yue Yu's current appearance was a human skin mask?
Mu Lingzhi instructed the secret guard: "No matter what method you use, you must find the head of the Yue family, remember, you are only allowed to find him quietly, do not alarm him, and never hurt him!" β
The dark guard looked at the solemnity of Mu Lingzhi's expression, and hurriedly responded respectfully!
After Mu Lingzhi finished his order, he didn't have time to go back to the room to rest, and someone came to the palace, saying that there was an urgent government affairs to summon him into the palace.
Hurriedly entered the house and glanced at Yu Ruyan, and instructed her subordinates to take good care of her, Mu Lingzhi changed into clean clothes and hurriedly entered the palace.
Although she took the medicine to dispel the cold, Yu Ruyan's condition worsened, she was dizzy and fell asleep for a while, her head was even heavier and uncomfortable, Brother An went to ask Dr. Wu to see her, Dr. Wu said that all the cold in her body had come out, and she should drink the medicine and adjust it.
drank another bowl of medicine, and had no appetite for lunch, Brother An was about to wait for her to lie on the bed, but the little girl came to tell her, saying that Concubine An and An Lan Huaying were outside Yunsong Courtyard and asked to see each other, saying that they heard that Yu Ruyan was sick and came to ask An to visit.
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect An Lan to come, but after thinking about it, such a big thing happened last night, Kuang Qinqin was the aunt of the palace, and it was normal for them to come over to inquire about the news.
When the three of them came in, Yu Ruyan was sitting upright on the soft couch in the room, her pale face was re-covered with rouge, and in An Lirong's eyes, she was not sick, but she didn't sleep all night, and her spirit was almost high.
The three of them greeted her together, and Yu Ruyan waved them to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea!
As they drank tea, Yu Ruyan's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the three of them----
An Lan looked indifferent, without her usual docile appearance, but An Lirong looked cautious, looking normal, but her body was tense, her back was straight, and she was obviously very nervous.
Her gaze finally stopped at Flower Shadow----
I saw her describe sadness, her slender and tactful eyebrows and eyes were full of grief, and the teacup was put down after a light touch on her mouth, looking lost and depressed.
Yu Ruyan knows that she has always been the best friend of Kuang Qinqin, Kuang Qinqin has always disliked to walk around too much with other people in the house, and only walks close to the weak and quiet Huaying, the two usually help each other, and now it is normal to be sad and sad when they hear the news of her death.
Yu Ruyan didn't speak, An Lan and Huaying were also silent, and the room suddenly fell into an awkward silence----
"The princess is really good-natured and intelligent, and she cracked Kuang's case in less than three days after returning home. Thinking of the Kuang family's indifferent appearance in the house on weekdays, he didn't expect his mind to be so vicious, and he was so vicious. After all these years of getting along with her, none of us would have expected her to be such a person! β
An Lirong complimented Yu Ruyan while observing the expression on her face, Yu Ruyan smiled with her, and seemed to enjoy her praise and compliment.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, An Lirong couldn't help but probe: "However, this Kuang family is so deep and so well hidden, but the concubine is curious about how the princess found her?" β
In fact, since hearing Yu Ruyan say that day, Xie Guifei asked her to check the child in An Lan's belly, An Lirong began to sit uneasy, for fear that what she did would be discovered, so from that moment on, she also quietly sent someone to monitor Yunsong Courtyard, especially Yu Ruyan's every move, and later saw her summon Liu Ma twice in a row, and even waited for Liu Ma to quietly call her to her Furong Courtyard as soon as Liu Ma came out of Yunsong Courtyard, so that she could tell her what she saw and heard in Yunsong Courtyard without missing a word.
But listening to Liu's mother, Yu Ruyan just inquired about some things after Dongcao entered the house, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, and then, less than a day. There was news about Kuang Qinqin, and Gu Qing'er's case was successfully solved by Yu Ruyan without a sound.
The moment she heard the news, An Lirong was not only surprised, but also puzzled, she thought left and right, and she didn't understand how Yu Ruyan found clues and found out the murderer who poisoned Gu's mother and son.
She asked Yu Ruyan such a thing, firstly, she was really curious, and at the same time, she wanted to know how Yu Ruyan got the clues, and how much did she know about her?
How could she not understand the plan in her heart, Yu Ruyan. She smiled coldly, and said in a cold voice: "In this world, as long as people do things, there will be traces, and the so-called legal net will be restored without leakage." That's exactly what it means. Some people think that what they have done is seamless and no one will find out, but even if they can hide it from all their eyes, they can't hide it from God's eyes, and one day the truth will be revealed, so ---- want people not to know, unless it has been done! β
When she said these words, Yu Ruyan had a faint smile on her lips, her eyes staring directly at An Lirong below, and her heart jumped when she saw it, and she almost couldn't hold the teacup in her hand.
Of course, she heard the meaning of Yu Ruyan's words, not only her, but An Lan, who had been silent, also heard the off-string sound in Yu Ruyan's words, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneering and fierce smile, and her eyes swept to An Lirong's face without a trace. said coldly: "The princess is so right, what is the thing in this world that can really be hidden." Kuang's did it so obscurely, and the matter was easily found out by the princess after so long, it can be seen that everything can't escape the princess's eyes! β
After that, she put down the teacup in her hand, solemnly bowed to Yu Ruyan, and said in a trembling voice: "I beg the princess to help the concubine find out the murderer of the child, and help my poor child get justice!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone else in the room was stunned, only Yu Ruyan took a leisurely sip of tea.
The people in the mansion thought that An Lan's child was accidentally broken by herself, so they were all surprised when they heard her words, and even the flower shadow, who had been gloomy and sad, raised her head in surprise when she heard this.
An Lirong's hand shook, she couldn't hold the teacup in her hand anymore, and she spilled half a cup of tea, which made the dark blue skirt on her body a dark tea stain, but she didn't care about it so much, she suddenly turned around and looked at An Lan in horror, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Mrs. An, what are you doing here?" β
As soon as she said that, she realized that she had lost her temper, and her face was immediately flustered!
Yu Ruyan's eyes looked at her coldly, and when she looked at her, An Lirong hurriedly opened her mouth to cover up: "Princess, forgive me, the concubine saw that Niangniang was frightened yesterday and was still sick, and I don't want Mrs. An to bother Niangniang at this time."
Her words hadn't spoken yet. Yu Ruyan said coldly: "I remember that when Concubine An came to me two days ago, I mentioned to you that Concubine Xie Guifei was very concerned about Mrs. An's child, and specially told me to find out this matter clearly, so now Mrs. An herself mentioned it, which is exactly what I want!" β
After that, Yuru looked at An Lan fixedly and said, "Mrs. An, I wasn't in the house when your child had an accident, so I don't know the inside story. The concubine ordered me to investigate the matter of your child, I think, it is better to leave this matter to you to investigate, you have always been smart and careful, I think you will find out the murderer of your child with your own hands. β
Thinking of her daughter who died innocently at birth, An Lan felt a pain in her heart, she gritted her teeth to suppress the hatred in her heart, and respectfully bowed to Yuruyan: "Thank you for your concern about the concubine and the princess, the concubine will definitely find out the murderer who killed my daughter and avenge my daughter!" β
Yu Ruyan looked at An Lirong, whose face was pale but composed, but the words in her mouth were said to An Lan: "Although you let go of your hands and feet to investigate, if you encounter a difficult place where you need help from Your Highness and I, just speak!" β
Hearing this, An Lan was overjoyed and respectfully responded!
An Lirong hated her teeth, hated and feared in her heart, and clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves into fists. Nails dug deep into the flesh----
She never expected that she would be deceived by An Lan again!
After learning that Yu Ruyan had solved Gu Qing'er's case, An Lirong couldn't sit still, couldn't help it anymore, and stepped into her okra courtyard for the first time after An Lan's accident to listen to her tone. However, An Lan said to her with a sad face that she was blessed, and she couldn't keep the child in her belly, so she couldn't complain about others.
At that time, she looked sincere, and there was no gap between her expressions for An Lirong, she was still respectful to her as before, and called her 'Miss' with her mouth closed, as if she was still the girl who had no support before and wanted to rely on her to survive.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around and came to Yu Ruyan, her face immediately changed. In this way, what she said before was obviously perfunctory An Lirong, and it could even be said that she was lying to her, and even worse, she was already suspicious of her, suspecting that An Lirong had killed the child in her womb, so she refused to tell her the truth.
was deceived and betrayed by An Lan again and again, An Lirong hated her to the extreme, she trembled all over, looking at An Lan kneeling in front of Yu Ruyan, her eyes were full of coldness.
was extremely angry, and the next moment, An Lirong's whole person calmed down.
Her expression returned to normal, and she said in a sad tone: "Sister An's child is indeed a pity, if my sister has doubts in her heart, she should indeed check it out!" β
After that, he stepped forward and said respectfully to Yu Ruyan: "Since I have seen the princess, the concubine will not disturb the princess's rest, and the concubine will retire first!" β
Anyway, it's not called An Lan and Huaying, they came out first.
The thin curtain was waiting for her outside, and when she saw that she came out first with a frosty face, she couldn't help but ask worriedly: "The master's face is not depressed, but what is unhappy?" Could it be that the princess is embarrassed for you!? β
An Lirong sneered as she walked out, "Heh." I was teased once or twice by that little slut, and I was so good this morning, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a different person. Now that I see the new princess entering the mansion, it seems that I am disgusted by the old master, okay, very good! β
The thin curtain was in a fog, and it wasn't until she heard it that she understood that the slut she said was An Lan, and her face couldn't help but darken, and she said hatefully: "Master, that cheap hoof provoked you again?" β
An Lirong was very upset, she didn't have the heart to explain to her in detail, and walked forward distraught. But just at the corner of the garden, I heard An Lan coldly shouting from behind: "Concubine An stays!" β
An Lirong's footsteps froze, and she turned to look at An Lan who was walking towards her very slowly, with a stiff smile on her face, and said coldly: "What did Mrs. An tell me about?" β
The two masters and servants, who used to be sisters and had the same hatred and hatred, can no longer even pretend to be disguised on the surface, and Concubine An has already indicated An Lan's position on An Lirong, and An Lirong is the same for her.
An Lan approached An Lirong step by step, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, but her heart was already separated by a sea of thousands of icebergs and fires, and she couldn't get close anymore
In other words, from the moment An Lan climbed onto Mu Ling's bed, when An Lirong used her as a tool to give birth to a child, the hearts of the master and servant had never really come close, and they had changed from strangers to enemies!
An Lan lay on the bed for a full month, her face was sallow, her cheeks were deeply sunken, her body was thin, the gorgeous clothes on her body couldn't hold up, and when the wind blew, it seemed that she was about to be blown away, but her eyes were unusually sharp, and she looked at An Lirong, who was also looking at her coldly, without fear, and said coldly: "Concubine An seems to have objections to the request I made to the princess just now?" Or do you think my child deserves to die in vain like this? β
An Lan looked at the former master in front of her, whom she had once respected and feared, and the hatred in her heart was higher and higher, and she couldn't wait to kill her immediately and avenge her child.
An Lirong's hatred for her heart was also surging. Only increase, not decrease.
The who stared at herself in front of her was submissive in front of herself, and she didn't even dare to come out, but now she is on an equal footing with her, and she also framed herself together, thinking of this, An Lirong is not guilty that she killed the child in her belly, but hates that she didn't do it cleanly and neatly at that time, she should be like Kuang Qinqin to Gu Qing'er, and send her cheap life and the evil seed in her stomach into Huangquan Road together!
She was not angered by An Lan's words, but smiled coldly and said without mind: "It's not that I have objections to your request, but I feel disgusted by your inconsistent face. Heh, I was talking to me a moment ago that I was blessed. The next moment, he ran to the princess and cried, he was really fickle and sycophant, yes, you have now found a good tree, and a former master like me, who has no power and is not favored, has fallen into the eyes of your Mrs. An! β
"However, An Lan, let me tell you, no matter how big your heart is, don't forget your origin, don't forget who gave you everything you have. Since I can take you into the house, I can give you the surname 'An', and I can tolerate you climbing into His Highness's bed, I can also drive you out of His Highness's bed, I can also take back your surname, and I can let you go back there from there!" β
to the point where it is today. The two of them have completely torn their faces, An Lirong hates her so much that her teeth itch, and she doesn't have any love left when she speaks.
An Lirong's ruthless words made An Lan's face even paler, and she was slightly stunned and then suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was sharp and piercing, making An Lirong feel inexplicably flustered.
I only heard An Lan sneering unceremoniously: "Yes, people from low backgrounds like me have no ability to protect themselves, of course they have to find support, the so-called, good birds choose trees to perch, I choose to believe in the princess, one is that she has this power, and the other is that I admire her ability more." I believe that even Gu's case can be investigated, and she can help me redress my grievances if my child died in vain! And you---- Concubine An, you don't expect me to rely on an enemy who kills my son, do you really think I don't know anything?! β
After the words, An Lan was already speaking fiercely, her teeth were clenched, thinking of the child who died in her belly, An Lan couldn't wait to eat An Lirong raw.
For the sake of this child, in order to prevent the child from being snatched away by An Lirong in her lifetime, she did not hesitate to join forces with Gu Qing'er to design and frame her, and also robbed her of the right to take charge of the family, and later in order to protect this child, she was even more cautious to the grass and trees, and finally looked forward to the full-term month, looking forward to the birth of the child, but in the last few days, she was still calculated by An Lirong, and the child was suffocated in her stomach
Although she is only a daughter, that is also An Lan's life!
An Lirong was shocked by her undisguised words, she didn't expect An Lan to have already suspected herself, she couldn't help but lack confidence, and said in a trembling voice: "Slut, don't talk nonsense without evidence, it's obviously your own blessing, and God can't see you when you do bad things, so you have no children." How can you blame her, be careful that I go to your Highness to accuse you of slander! β
"Go ahead. Why don't you go now! An Lan's eyes were like knives at An Lirong, and she said fiercely: "I not only want to ask His Highness to administer justice for our children, but also let His Highness take my surname 'An'." I hate you, I hate this surname, I'm not uncommon to have the same surname as you, what do you think I dare not do now?! β
An Lan's words made An Lirong so angry that she couldn't speak, and when she saw the fine curtain on the side, she couldn't help but help: "It's really an ungrateful person, and I don't want to think about who picked you up into the Imperial History Mansion in the first place, and even brought you into the palace, so that you can become the aunt of His Royal Highness." If you don't have a master, you won't even be able to see His Highness's face. Where did the children come from? In the final analysis, everything you have is given by the master, even if the master lets you die, you have nothing to criticize, you dare to betray the master and take revenge on the master! β
An Lan stared coldly at the fine curtain, gritted her teeth and said: "I am a mother, and you, heh, an old girl like you have never conceived a child, how can you understand the feeling of mother and son being connected to each other, flesh and blood!" I did thank her for her promotion before, but from the moment she harmed my child, the master-servant relationship between me and her has been severed, and there is nothing between me and her except the revenge of killing women! β
Hearing this, not only An Lirong's face turned white, but also the face of the thin curtain turned white.
The fine curtain is older than An Lan, but she has been serving by An Lirong's side, and she is getting older day by day, An Lirong originally promised to find a good family for her in the past two years to marry, but since Yu Ruyan entered the house last year, An Lirong has already left her life's events behind in order to compete for favor, in order to deal with Yu Ruyan, and in order to take revenge on An Lan, although she is anxious, she does not dare to put forward conditions to her in An Lirong's eventful autumn!
Although An Lirong was angry in her heart, she saw someone coming towards them. I didn't want to entangle with An Lan anymore, so I said to the fine curtain: "An Fuzi's heartache for losing her daughter is no different from losing her heart, we don't need to worry about her, let's go back!" β
After that, he fled with the curtain.
The quarrel between the two An family in the garden reached Yu Ruyan's ears word for word, she lay on the bed with a headache, listened to Brother An's report, and said in disgust: "The master and servant are not good people, let them go, let them eat the dog and bite enough." β
Hearing this, Brother An couldn't help but laugh and said, "The princess's idea is really good, and it saves the princess's business!" β
The master and servant were talking. The little girl who was guarding the door in the courtyard came in again and whispered, "Princess, Aunt Hua didn't leave, saying that she wanted to ask the princess for something!" β
Yu Ruyan's brows furrowed slightly, and she frowned and wondered, "What does she ask of me?" β
Let's just let the little girl bring her in. As soon as Huaying came in, she knelt in front of Yu Ruyan, and pleaded with tears: "Princess, the concubine wants to send the Kuang family on her last journey, and she begs the princess to tell me where she is buried?" β
Yu Ruyan was stunned when she heard this----
Although Kuang Qinqin is dead, she is guilty after all, and she still committed the big crime of killing the emperor's heir, and the people in the palace who she has interacted with have tried their best to dissociate themselves from her, for fear of being provoked by her, Yu Ruyan did not expect that Huaying not only did not avoid suspicion. I also offered to give her one last ride!
Personally got out of bed and helped Hua Ying up, Yu Ruyan's face was gloomy, and she said in a sad tone: "Sister Hua, it's not that I don't tell you, it's that she was taken away by her former master, and I don't know where she was buried, please forgive me for not being able to help you!" β
Seeing that she got out of bed and helped her up, Hua Ying was flattered and hurriedly said: "The princess is serious, it is my extravagant hope, and the concubine has thanked the princess!" After that, he saluted Yu Ruyan and said goodbye.
Yu Ruyan wanted to keep her down and say a few more words, but Huaying is such a simple person, she did not rely on the fact that she had saved Yu Ruyan before and deliberately approached her, but because of Yu Ruyan's current identity. deliberately avoid suspicion and don't get close to her.
After the flower shadow left, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but fall asleep on the bed anymore. She slept until sunset, but when she woke up, Mu Lingzhi hadn't come back from the palace.
Not only did he not come back, but there were still people in the palace, and Xuan Yu Ruyan immediately entered the palace!
