All the news about her past and present life came too quickly. Luo Ge's whole person suddenly froze in place, looking at Su Qingyu and the dagger she held in her hand with a pale face.

The light that came in through the window illuminated the dagger in her hand very brightly. The light in turn even pierced Luo Ge's eyes. When she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, she realized that she had not been in this palace for an hour, and at this moment it was only the afternoon Shen hour, the sun was just right, and she was drenched like a drowning person crawling out of the sea, and a cold air crawled up her whole body from the soles of her feet.

However, Su Qingyu, who had entered a state of madness at this moment, did not want to let her go, and she then planned to tell the story of Mrs. Luo Yue, but was interrupted by Mu Ziqin, who suddenly broke in. Luo Gemu turned his head to look at the person who suddenly rushed in, and only opened his mouth slightly and said, "Senior brother, save me." Then he fainted.

And Mu Ziqin, who was standing at the door, didn't hear what she said clearly, he saw Luo Ge fall, so he immediately rushed forward and hugged her in his arms, and the guards behind him also took advantage of the situation to chop off the dagger in Su Qingyu's hand and control it. But Su Qingyu did not give up struggling, she shouted while struggling: "Your Majesty, let go of me!" Let me go! ”

Looking at her struggling appearance, Mu Ziqin said: "If you want to let Gu go, you can do it, you have to tell Gu what you have done to Concubine De?" ”

"Hongu didn't do anything!" Su Qing's tone was firm.

"And what is the explanation of the dagger you just held in your hand? Is it used to prune the branches in this palace? ”

Mu Ziqin's words stopped Su Qingyu. Her purpose has been revealed, and any more refutations will add to it. Mu Ziqin saw that she had nothing to say, and said with a smile: "Since you don't refute, Na Gu has a few questions to answer you truthfully." ”

"What?" Su Qingyu's tone was obviously not very good.

"There is a list of one hundred and eighty people in the palace, all of whom are selected from the palace stewards, palace maids, chamberlains, and guards, and there are not only your personal palace maids in the list, but even the guards guarding the door, do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to." Su Qingyu knew that this list was the eyeliner that he had worked hard to install for so many years.

"Oh?" Mu Ziqin raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect the lonely queen to be so anxious to know?" Then let Wang Fuhai read it to the queen? ”

"Don't!"

Su Qingyu refused loudly, but Mu Ziqin didn't give her a chance, and directly handed the list to Wang Fuhai and ordered it to be read out loud. During this period, Mu Ziqin ordered someone to send Luo Ge back to Xiao Han Palace, and sent someone to invite Imperial Doctor Sun to go.

In the palace at the end of the dynasty, when every name and official position was read out, Su Qingyu felt despair in his heart. The more names she had, the more desperate her expression became, until at last she was completely dead, looking into the distance with empty eyes.

Looking at the change in her eyes, Mu Ziqin became more and more sure of the authenticity of this list. When the last name was pronounced, Mu Ziqin asked the guards to let her go, and then ordered someone to suppress Jingyi in.

Looking at Su Qingyu, who was paralyzed on the ground, Mu Ziqin squatted down, looked at her, and said, "What do you want to say now?" ”

Su Qingyu shook his head.

"Then let your palace maid speak for you?"

Su Qingyu still shook his head. The situation that was watching her from the side suddenly cried, and said: "Your Majesty, these people are all arranged by slaves and maids, and it is none of the mother's business. ”

"It's really a master-servant." Mu Ziqin smiled sarcastically, "Do you think Lone is a fool or do you think this list Lone doesn't know the location of these people?" Or do you think that your confession alone will exonerate your queen? ”

"Slaves don't dare." Jing Yi cried and shook his head, "But these people are indeed bought or arranged by slaves." ”

"Then you tell Lone, how did you step by step move the entire harem to the front of the palace, and then to the palace gate in and out of the palace, and each of these 'fortresses' in the palace is planted with people?"

"The slave maid is actually the personal maid before the prince of Su Jin. Since he was a child, he followed the prince, and when he was eight years old, the prince let the slave follow the mother, one is to facilitate the monitoring of the mother, and at the same time, it is also to be able to rebel against the mother in the future. When Niangniang married into the Mujin Kingdom, the prince had successfully won over the Niangniang, and at this time, the mission of the slave maid was to establish his own intelligence network in the palace of the Mujin king, and then send news to the prince. Therefore, from the first year when they came to Mu Jin Kingdom, the slave and maid observed all the important positions in the palace, as well as the shift change time of all the guards in the palace, and then began to buy one person in each position and the shift change guards.

"At first, the slave thought that this would be discovered or reported. I didn't expect that someone would really sell his country for petty profits, so one hundred and eighty people were placed in the palace step by step, and they were marked by the moon and connected with each other. Among them, the auspicious grandmother in the queen mother's palace and the money in the king's palace are the most powerful, and every time they will copy the daily living books of the king and the queen mother to the slaves. ”

"That's enough."

Jingyi's words were interrupted by Mu Ziqin, and he said, "You said this just to prove the innocence of Queen Lone?" ”

"Yes." The mood answered firmly.

Looking at her as if she was at home, Mu Ziqin said, "Then where did the money come from to buy all kinds of people?" ”

"In addition to the silver taels and silver tickets sent by the prince every year, the slaves and maids will also steal the jewelry of the mother and let people take them out of the palace to sell. Anyway, there are a lot of rewards from the king every year, and the mother never counts the account books, so she naturally doesn't know if there are so many fewer things. ”

"It seems that you blamed Gu Gu for giving the queen too many rewards? So that you can buy people's hearts with such unscrupulous exchange of money!" Mu Ziqin's last sentence was filled with anger.

The mood was suddenly silenced.

Looking at her and Su Qingyu, who was sitting on the ground without saying a word, he said: "Inform all palaces that from today onwards, the queen will not leave the palace without a lonely order at the end of the palace, even if the queen mother will not do it." All the palace maids and chamberlains in the palace at the end of the dynasty were replaced. All 180 people on this list were imprisoned, and the relationship network of all people was clarified, and if there were any people outside the palace who were involved in them and taken into custody, all those involved in the case would be beheaded after the matter was clarified. ”

In this way, the largest spy network in Mu Jinguo's palace was uprooted by Mu Ziqin. And Luo Ge, who is the first hero, is still in a coma. The Lantern Festival in the eastern capital was celebrated together with the noise of the people and the turmoil of the royal family.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Mu Ziheng got up early in the morning and went straight to Mu Ziqin's study with his full of questions.

Mu Ziqin, who was alone in the study to review the folds, immediately buried his head and said after hearing the footsteps on the roof: "You really came so early, but for yesterday's events?" ”

Mu Ziheng saw that his whereabouts had been discovered, so he immediately appeared and said, "Yes." I really want to know how Brother Wang and Concubine De got rid of adultery together. ”

Mu Ziqin looked up at his expectant expression, and reluctantly put down his pen and said, "Do you think that the past few days when Gu and Concubine De went to the palace were really just hunting?" ”

"I know no, before you left, you asked Liu Fu to find a little chamberlain in the palace to follow the queen silently."

"Yes." Mu Ziqin nodded and said, "This little chamberlain was selected by Concubine De from the twenty people arranged by Lonely. And almost immediately, she chose this little eunuch when she saw it. ”

"So powerful?"

"Yes. Because the presence of this chamberlain is extremely low, it can be said that if he didn't deliberately let people know, it would be difficult for anyone to notice him. After all, he is naturally shy and does not like to talk.

"This little chamberlain is only responsible for following the queen every day, and if the queen does not go out, he will follow the situation. After following for about three days, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, he discovered the daily travel pattern of Jingyi. Later, on the seventh day of the first month, he secretly went out of the palace to report to Lone, and Luo Ge was also present at that time, so she asked Lone to select the secret guards around him to check the relationship network of all the people he mentioned through what the chamberlain said. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ziheng muttered in a low voice: "No wonder my secret guards can't find anyone for a few days. ”

Listening to his muttering, Mu Ziqin smiled and said, "This time the situation is special, and in order to tell you directly that it is my brother's fault, I will come to the door to make amends for my brother another day." ”

"My brother can't afford it. Brother Wang should continue to speak. The younger brother wants to hear the story even more. ”

Mu Ziqin smiled and continued: "Your secret guard has always moved quickly, and when you were in the tenth year of the first month, all the people related to the situation were recorded. Then the little chamberlain was sent to the palace overnight, and when it was the eleventh, Luo Ge took this list and asked the lonely people to directly serve the contact point of Su Qingyu in the imperial city.

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Qingyu was anxious to find a way out of the palace. Outside the palace, the attendant saw her meeting with someone and heard her say that she was planning to murder Luo Ge on the day she returned to the palace. In order to let Luo Ge's death cause a war between the two countries, and then let Su Jin reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"Then how did you know that Concubine De was in this palace today?"

"It's also the little chamberlain. Since the last time he came to report the news overnight, he has been arranged by me to be by Luo Ge's side, one is to monitor Luo Ge, and the other is to ensure Luo Ge's safety. I didn't expect this arrangement to be really right. This little chamberlain listened to Su Qingyu's words outside the palace at the end of the court, although he didn't listen to it completely, but he listened to the part where Su Qingyu framed Luo Ge, and then he immediately came to report it. He just reported to Lone and asked the secret guards on duty to act separately, while holding Lone's token to mobilize the palace guards to come directly, while continuing to go to the end of the palace to listen to the news. In this way, all the conspiracy purposes of Su Qingyu were also discovered by Gu and Luo Ge. ”

Looking at his smug expression, Mu Ziheng admired it in his heart.

"Then how did Brother Wang determine that the list is right?"

"At the beginning, I didn't confirm this list, there were three hundred people in the list that the entire secret guard listened to, and it was Luo Ge who asked Wang Fuhai to take all the palace people files overnight, and Gu checked them with her before confirming it. After all, Su Qingyu still likes nepotism. ”

"Just like her conceited brother."
