Chapter 209: Mutual Suspicion
Mu Mingshu sat down on the pineapple wood official hat chair, gritted a mouthful of silver teeth and said hatefully: "I really have the ability, I really have the ability." ”
Overnight, a palace maid in Kunning Palace drowned in a well, and two palace maids died in the Xishan Courtyard.
Mu Mingshu couldn't help but smile bitterly, if it was another time, these people would have died, but why at this time?
One is the little palace maid who is serving Yina in the Xishan Courtyard, but the other two are serving wine to Zhao Yiheng and others in the Xishan Courtyard.
There was such an ugly thing in the Xishan Courtyard before, and I never thought that she would return to the palace yesterday and these people all died silently.
If you talk about the most likely to kill people except Ina is the only one who is the queen, after all, what Ina said in front of Zhao Yiheng was not in vain. But now that Yina is locked up in the court, not to mention that there are Zhao Yiheng's people guarding her, how can she run out to kill people and kill people, even if she has the ability to kill people quietly in the palace, Mu Mingshu doesn't believe that she will go to Xishan Courtyard in the middle of the night to kill people.
Don't say that Mu Mingshu doesn't believe it, even people in this world won't believe it.
Mu Mingshu didn't want to explore how those palace maids died, but as soon as these palace maids died, Zhao Yiheng's suspicion of her was bound to become even heavier.
She closed her eyes and was bored, could it be that she was planted in Ina's hands like this, but she still didn't believe that Zhao Yiheng didn't trust herself like this.
"What's going on on with the emperor?"
Zhao Yiheng is suspicious of her now, there must be someone else in this Kunning Palace, there have been so many things recently, and he must be the first to know about the death of several palace maids.
Miaoqi shook his head: "Niangniang, there is no movement in the emperor's place, as if he doesn't know about it." ”
Mu Mingshu's heart chuckled, and he felt more and more bored: "You, you go and tell the emperor about this matter, and ask him how the palace should deal with this matter?" ”
Miaoqi didn't understand what Mu Mingshu meant, but a few palace maids died, and it was a normal thing in this huge harem.
However, she didn't understand what was going on here, but she also went to the imperial study to follow Mu Mingshu's words.
Zhao Yiheng sat on the imperial case, staring at the fold in front of him but didn't read a word, and only sighed when he heard the words: "It's just that he died by accident, let the queen mother watch and dispose of it." ”
When Miaoqi told Mu Mingshu this as it was, her whole person was as cold as falling into an ice hole, but a reluctant smile appeared on her face, and she didn't say a word.
died unexpectedly, that is, to cover up this matter, instead of thoroughly investigating and returning her Mu Mingshu a white, that is to say, he has already decided that maybe he thinks that those people are her hands.
Mu Mingshu was very desperate, she didn't even know why she and Zhao Yiheng still came to this point in the end, but she smiled again when this thought flashed, it's not that she didn't know, it should be from the moment Concubine Yun died, they couldn't go back, and they would go farther and farther in the future.
"Bengu knows, you go down." Mu Mingshu waved his hand weakly, and sat down on the official hat chair, his mind wandering.
Miao Qi realized the truth after realizing it, and his heart was shocked, but looking at Mu Mingshu's desperate expression, he couldn't say a word, so he had to retreat respectfully.
When Miaoqin invited Liu, Yang Qinghe, and Wen Yunyi into the palace, Mu Mingshu returned to his calm and breezy appearance, as if the death of those palace maids was really just an accident.
She hugged Wen Yunyi, who was like a ball of meat from Yang Qinghe's hand, looked at her pink eyebrows and smiled: "It looks pretty good." He asked Yang Qinghe again: "Is she quiet or lively?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Yunyi pouting and muttering, Mu Mingshu suddenly felt that his body was hot, it was actually this little guy who was urinating on himself, and he nodded her forehead a little funny and said: "You little guy, you can't say anything, you dare to relieve yourself in this palace." ”
Wen Yunyi couldn't understand Mu Mingshu's words, and when she was playing with herself, she showed a big smile when she was comfortable, and pulled the brocade clothes on Mu Mingshu's body and stuffed them into her mouth.
Yang Qinghe's face tightened, and he didn't dare to be wild in this palace, so he had to say respectfully: "Niangniang, let's give Yunyi to the people's women, she is a little girl." ”
Mu Mingshu pulled his clothes out of Wen Yunyi's hand, and said with a smile: "Let Miaoqin take it down and play, and let this little girl see what this palace looks like." ”
When Yang Qinghe heard this, he stopped making a sound, but Liu said nervously: "Miss Miaoqin can bring a little doll." ”
Mu Mingshu laughed: "Uncle don't worry, the people in this palace are all wonderful people who are proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts." He added: "The palace will go and change clothes, and my aunt will sit here for a while." ”
Naturally, Liu Shi didn't say anything, and he was busy.
Mu Mingshu got up, but his eyes looked at Yang Qinghe.
Yang Qinghe hurriedly got up: "The women are waiting for the mother to change her clothes." ”
"It's fine."
The two entered the inner room, and Miaoqi took out a set of rich purple clouds dragging the underground palace skirt, respectfully put it on the shelf, and then withdrew and guarded outside.
Yang Qinghe has never done anything to serve others, but she married Wen Zi and then learned to serve her husband and dress very skillfully.
Mu Mingshu laughed at her: "It's talented, I'm afraid that my brother will benefit a lot." ”
Yang Qinghe's face turned red, and he didn't have so many rules in private, so he twisted and said, "Sister Mingshu"
Mu Mingshu didn't tease her either, and said in a low voice, "When do you plan to go to Suzhou with your brother?" ”
"I haven't figured it out yet." Yang Qinghe said without thinking about it: "Yun Yi is still young now, and my aunt likes her very much, but I'm afraid that if we leave, the house will be too quiet." ”
Mu Mingshu was silent, feeling a little uncomfortable, but in the end he still spoke: "You can find a day to go back to Suzhou as soon as possible." ”
"Huh?"
"The whole family will go to Suzhou together." Mu Mingshu ignored Yang Qinghe's surprise and said categorically: "Suzhou is a suitable place for recuperation, and it is better for my uncle to go there to recuperate." ”
Mu Li didn't have any old illness at all, that is, he was injured on the battlefield but he didn't hurt it at all, and now he is in good health, and it was just a pretext to ask the emperor to resign and say that the old injury had recurred.
But Yang Qinghe turned Mu Mingshu's words in his mind, and suddenly understood something, frowned and looked at Mu Mingshu without asking anything else, only said: "We are all leaving, what should Sister Mingshu do if she is alone in Kyoto?" ”
After thinking about it, he said: "The fifth cousin is not such a cold-blooded and ruthless person, Sister Mingshu has a misunderstanding with him, it's good to talk about it, he won't"
"Needless to say." Mu Mingshu interrupted Yang Qinghe's words and sighed: "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and now he is no longer the person he once was." "I'm not who I used to be.
"But" Yang Qinghe wanted to say more, but he heard Mu Mingshu say again: "Although my uncle has no military power now, he is still in the military, so it's better for you to stay away from right and wrong." ”
She panicked in her heart, and sighed heavily: "Since ancient times, the hegemony of the king cannot be challenged, and the emperor is no longer His Royal Highness King Rui at the beginning, our Mu family has been in the army for generations, and the reputation of the family is enough." ”
"As for me, you don't have to worry, I am the queen and Ziyue's biological mother, even if there is a big disagreement with the emperor, he will look at Ziyue and will not embarrass me." Mu Mingshu turned around, looked at Yang Qinghe and said cautiously: "You are my only concern, so you must go, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." ”
Yang Qinghe looked at Mu Mingshu and didn't know what to say, so he nodded halfway through: "Okay." ”
She wanted to say that Zhao Yiheng would not treat Mu Mingshu and the Mu family like that, but some people and things will always change with time, and no one can say for sure in the future, those words turned around in her mouth and swallowed it back.
After changing his clothes, Mu Mingshu and Yang Qinghe came out of the inner room one after the other, but saw Zhao Yiheng suddenly appear in the hall, he was holding a small ball of Wen Yunyi in his hand and teasing, but his mouth was talking to Liu's family.
Mu Mingshu couldn't tell why Zhao Yiheng suddenly came here, and took Yang Qinghe to salute together.
Zhao Yiheng waved his hand: "No need to be polite." He smiled at Mu Mingshu again: "I heard that this little girl is presumptuous in you, it seems that this character is not like her father, but like her mother." ”
Mu Mingshu covered his lips and smiled: "The concubine also thinks so." ”
Yang Qinghe's face turned red, and he couldn't hold his face and said coquettishly: "Cousin"
Zhao Yiheng stretched out his hand to tease Wen Yunyi in his arms, and he didn't tease Yang Qinghe anymore, but asked casually: "Uncle's body is okay?" Since the uncle resigned last year, the Mu family army has not come out with a useful person for a while, and I don't know when my uncle will be able to stand on this court again. ”
For a while, no one in the hall spoke, and Liu knew that this person in the royal family must not mean one-sidedly, so he didn't dare to speak casually. Yang Qinghe was silent and said: "Uncle's body is good and bad, and Brother Ziran said that the climate in Kyoto is not suitable for recuperation, and he is preparing to let him go to Suzhou to live for a while." ”
Liu was puzzled, but he didn't look at Yang Qinghe, and pretended to be casual and took a small sip of the tea bowl.
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Yiheng responded, but looked at Mu Mingshu meaningfully.
Mu Mingshu felt that there was no warmth in his gaze, but his body was even colder. Zhao Yiheng looked at Mu Mingshu for a while, then retracted his gaze, looked at Wen Yunyi in his arms, and felt uncomfortable, since when did the two of them fall to the point of mutual suspicion.
Wen Yunyi in his arms grinned with a budding smile that had just emerged, and his saliva was all on Zhao Yiheng, he didn't mind, he only smiled lightly, but suddenly thought: Would it be better to have another child?
