"Who's?!" The old lady snorted and asked around angrily.

The maids were frightened, silent, and did not dare to say a word, and there was silence all around, and there was silence.

"Hehe, don't you say?" The old lady looked at everyone coldly, and shouted, "Everyone is dragged out and killed!" ”

At the sound of an order, the little maids began to drag people, and the maids cried and grabbed the ground to forgive, hugging the door and picking up the pillar in an attempt to save their lives.

"Mama! I know! It was Sister Jin Gui who stole it from the fourth lady's room! ”

In order to save her life, a little maid was busy crying and kneeling down and kowtowing, and the bamboo tube crackled like a bean to confess, "Because I heard that there was a big incident in the palace, the people were afraid that the Wang family would be affected, and the errand people would suffer, and they wanted to prepare some entanglements and run away...... Tonight, a few bold sisters stole jewelry from the fourth lady's room...... But the things of the eldest lady really no one dared to touch! ”

"Bastard!" The old lady kicked the little maid over, trembling with anger, "The master is in trouble, and he doesn't know how to protect the master with death!" But he fell into the well and did this kind of work! No wonder you don't want to let people in! You search me carefully! Look at how many little bastards are still betraying the Lord! Drag this girl to the torture chamber for me! ”

After that, with a wave of his hand, several little maids stepped forward, and the little maid cried and was dragged out of the room, still shouting "spare your life".

The old lady glared at the trembling maidservants, and shouted, "Which one is Jin Gui?!" ”

In the corner, I don't know who glanced at the thin freckle-faced maid with a pale face, and the old lady tore the freckle-faced face from her hair to the ground, kicked it to her heart and scolded: "I'll make you black-hearted!" I'm going to kill you today! ”

There was a burst of punches and kicks, and the maid screamed twice, and her face turned pale and she fainted.

The old lady ordered people to be dragged to the torture room, and reprimanded the remaining maids, so that the remaining maids continued to search carefully, and walked away, leaving only a group of panicked maidservants who begged for mercy and their lives.

"Sisters, it's good, if we don't search, we will be the ones who suffer."

The little servants said, and continued to search, but Liu Chan still pretended to stay by Mu Mo's side.

"I put something in—" Mu Mo was about to speak, when he saw someone rushing through and tossing and turning.

Mu Yu's heart tightened, Liu Chan had already understood, and hurriedly rushed to the foot of Tongpu to follow the inspection.

After a while, knocking on the wall to the place where Mu Yu dug a hole, Liu Chan suddenly raised his head, turned over the quilt on the bed, and dismantled the cotton wool in the quilt layer by layer, and let out a low cry from time to time, frequently attracting the attention of his partner.

The maidservants panicked, pulling the little maids for a while, and stopping the bedding for a while.

In the chaos, the little maids found a string of Buddhist beads, a golden hairpin, two pairs of earrings, and three silver ingots, and several maidservants cried to snatch the stolen goods from the little maids.

That night, the entire palace was in chaos, and more than 20 pieces of jewelry of unknown origin were found in one night.

In the early morning of the next day, servants began to disappear one after another in the house, including servants, maids, grandmothers, and guards...... When it came time to interrogate someone, it was found that someone had already disappeared without a trace, and immediately afterward, more items in the house were missing.

After a lot of uproar, the trouble finally stopped, and the number of servants in the palace was reduced by half.

During this period, Mu Yu once risked his life to find Liulan and asked Sikong Heng to pass on a message:

The change in Beijing can be carried out according to the plan!

One day, Mu Yu was on duty in the refreshment room, because the tea leaked, so he went to the treasury to support, but found that the warehouse was deserted, and the one on duty was not there, so he could only report to the housekeeper, received the silver, and went out to purchase by himself.

As soon as I went to the street, I met a carriage head-on, and when the curtain was blown open, I saw a young woman in red:

About 20 years old, dressed in a bright red satin skirt, black brocade-like black hair in a big bun, slightly long face, fair skin, slightly red cheeks, greasy nose as delicate as goose fat, apricot eyes with dew, is a rare beauty.

When Mu Mo saw her, he was suddenly shocked in his heart: Isn't she a red knotweed?! Sikong Huang arrived in Luoyang so soon?

Mu Yu quickly followed the carriage, panting and following all the way to the door of a fabric factory.

Seeing Hongli get off the carriage, he took a maid into the fabric workshop, and walked quickly into the fabric workshop.

"Madam", Mu Mo stood opposite the red knotweed and asked, "Do you know what kind of 'Thousand Machine Cloth' is popular in Kyoto recently?" ”

"I'm really sorry," the little maid who accompanied us replied gently, "We have only just arrived in Kyoto, and we don't know much about the fashion in Kyoto, so it may be helpful to ask other people, or shop owners." ”

"Oh......" Mu Mo replied, and glanced at Hongli meaningfully, "Thank you, madam!" ”

After that, he turned to the other side of the cloth workshop, and asked the owner of the cloth workshop hypocritically, while secretly raising his eyes and glancing at the red knotweed.

Hongli peeked at Mu Wu, hesitated for a while, bit her lower lip, explained a few words to the little maid, and waited for the maid to leave, before she walked quickly to Mu Wu's side, opened the cloth workshop, looked at Mu Mo carefully for a while, and asked unconvincedly: "Cistanche?" ”

"Sister Hongli", Mu Mo looked at Hongli and smiled, "Sister came to Kyoto with Lord Huang?" ”

"Well, Prince Huang was recommended by Prince Rong and was transferred back to Luoyang from Qi State, and served as a free rider beside the emperor."

Hong Li paused for a moment, looked at Mu Mo with a complicated expression, and asked, "You are in Kyoto, how are you doing?" ”

"Everything is fine", Mu Mo squeezed out a smile, thinking of the twists and turns he had experienced since he arrived in Luoyang, and then thinking of the carefree in Qianji Academy, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that it would be this situation to say goodbye in a hurry and meet again." ”

"Yes...... a trace of sorrow flashed in Hong's eyes, sighed, and informed, "Wang Ye Rong is the person next to Empress Lu on the surface, but in fact, he is ambitious; Since Sikong Dong entered Kyoto, Empress Lu gave the position of the overseer of Yuzhou to Prince Rong, and Prince Rong has been secretly plotting to get rid of Empress Lü's control. Now, by virtue of his identity as the crown prince and the prince beside him, Prince Rong has promoted Prince Huang, who has the highest prestige among the royal family, to the emperor, and Empress Lu may not be unaware. I think...... Sabre-rattling, you live or die, that is, sooner or later. ”

"Now, the Lu family and the Kyoto family have reached the point of incompatibility. Prince Huang's entry into Beijing is not necessarily a bad thing for the Lu family, and perhaps, she also wants to win over Prince Huang and use the royal family to get rid of the family that opposes her. ”

Mu Mo comforted Hongli and told her not to be too anxious, and also hinted at the direction of her future actions.
