A few months ago, because she suspected that Shui Qingqing was Yun'er's biological mother, Mama Jin sent her good friend Liu Huzi to Ximo, and according to the address that Shui Qingqing told Aunt Jin before, she went to Wangjia Town to find Wang Dingbao's family.

And almost at the same time, Mei Zijin also sent people to the Western Desert to find the woman on the night of the Falling Moon Nunnery.

Because Mama Jin has the specific address of Wang Dingbao's family, the people who are waiting for Mei Zijin to hear the information about Wang Dingbao's family from Luoyue Nunnery have been found by Liu Huzi in advance.

After Liu Huzi came to the capital with the Wang family, because Mama Jin was imprisoned, Liu Huzi had to go to the White Mansion to quietly find the Yang family.

After Bai Lingwei was killed, the Yang family hated Bai Haoqing's cold-blooded ruthlessness on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hated Shui Qingqing for harming his daughter like this.

The Yang family thought hatefully, if there was no Shui Qingqing, his daughter would still be the daughter of the Bai family, and Bai Haoqing would also love her very much, how could he abandon her like now!

She even thought that if there was no Shui Qingqing, her daughter would not have been exposed for snatching Yun'er, and now she is still her aunt in the Hou Mansion, and she is even very likely to become Mrs. Hou through the world.

And now, because of the appearance of Shui Qingqing, it came to naught, and she was taken out of the Hou Mansion and imprisoned, and she could not have any more children for the rest of her life......

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it in his heart.

She gritted her teeth and thought that she would report all the suffering suffered by her daughter to Shui Qingqing, and she would destroy everything for her......

After a while, Cai Juan led Liu Huzi quietly in.

As soon as Liu Huzi came in, he knelt down in front of the Yang family and told the Yang family about his going to the West Desert.

After listening to him, Yang's unwilling heart instantly boiled.

Ling Li's eyes looked at Liu Huzi who was flustered in front of him, Yang smiled proudly, asked Cai Juan to take out a thousand taels of silver tickets from the inner room and gave it to Liu Huzi, and said with a kind smile: "You help Mama Jin do things, but Mama Jin is helping me do things." And now, she is behind bars and can't meet you, but don't worry, I will take good care of you and will never treat you badly! ”

Liu Huzi is an inconspicuous ruffian hooligan on the streets of Beijing, who usually helps Mama Jin sisters do shady things, and even mixes with Mama Jin, and listens to Mama Jin very much.

Two days ago, he traveled thousands of miles to return to the capital with the Wang family, but he couldn't find Mama Jin, but today he heard that Mama Jin was sent to Jingzhaoyin Prison by the Hou Mansion, so he came to the Yang family in a panic.

Before coming to see Yang, Liu Huzi was worried in his heart, but now when he saw that Yang gave himself so many silver tickets without saying a word, he suddenly laughed so much that his eyes were gone.

"Mrs. Xie's reward, the little one must listen to Mrs. and serve Mrs. ......"

Liu Huzi picked up the silver ticket and knelt down to give Yang a snort.

Yang waved his hand to get him up, and said with a friendly smile: "You have also worked hard this way." During this time, you will take the silver, find a secret house, settle the Wang family, and rest yourself. ”

Hearing this, Liu Huzi was slightly stunned.

He thought that the Yang family gave him so much money, and there must be something important to tell him to do, but he didn't expect that the Yang family just let him take the money to enjoy the happiness, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't believe it: "Besides this, doesn't the lady have any other instructions to let the little one do it?" ”

Seeing his surprised appearance, Yang's heart was cold, but his face smiled slowly: "Yes, your task now is to take a good look at the Wang family, and don't let others show them - it's of great use for me to keep them." When this is done, I will have another thanks. ”

Liu Huzi finally understood, and hurriedly responded respectfully, and was about to retreat with the silver ticket, but hesitated: "Madame has great powers, I don't know if there is a way to fish Mama Jin out of the cell?" ”

Yang smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry about this, as long as you do the errand I handed over to you, Mama will naturally be able to come out when the time comes." ”

In this way, Liu Huzi left with peace of mind.

As soon as Liu Huzi left, Cai Juan stepped forward and asked Yang in confusion: "Madam, since you have found the eldest lady's ex-husband's house, why don't you take them to see the master?" As long as the master knows that she has been married before, and she has not broken off the relationship with the Wang family, how can she remarry? It stands to reason that she is still the daughter-in-law of the Wang family......"

"Stupid girl!"

Yang scolded coldly: "Until now, you haven't seen that the master has completely given up on Wei'er, and he only has that slut and the position of the third princess in his eyes, how can he stand on our side?" Believe it or not, if we let him know that we have evidence of that slut, not only will he not help us, but he will kill us and keep the slut's secret. ”

Cai Juan's whole body trembled, his face turned white with fright, and he snorted, "That...... Why did Madame leave the Wang family? ”

Yang gritted his teeth and sneered: "If he abandons our mother and daughter, there will be someone willing to help us, and look at it!" ”

Cai Juan finally reacted and said in surprise: "What Madame said is ...... Empress Chen? That's right, Madame brought the Wang family to the queen, and in this way, the marriage between the eldest lady and the third prince was in vain. And the lady can use this to let the queen save the young lady, so that the young lady can be released from the prison immediately. ”

Yang's eyes were cold, and he smiled proudly: "You're right, compared to me, Queen Chen is only afraid that she is more anxious than me, and she is even more unwilling to see this slut become the third princess." So - this time, I'm going to leave that slut dead without a place to bury! ”

After that, the Yang family immediately repaired a book, and asked Cai Juan to find someone to quietly send it into the palace and hand it to Queen Chen.

The Yang family was not only worried about her daughter before, but also worried that she would smash Queen Chen, and Queen Chen would not let her go.

But now, the Yang family is winning, not only is they not afraid of Queen Chen, but they are looking forward to her coming to him......

And as Yang expected, since Shui Qingqing 'reversed' and agreed to marry on the spot, Empress Chen felt that she had been deeply fooled, hated and annoyed.

In Chuxiu Palace, Queen Chen was lying on the beauty couch, frowning and having a headache.

Since the marriage between Li You and the county lord of Linrou came to an end, the queen mother has snubbed Queen Chen, and she has been blocked from Cining Palace under various excuses, unwilling to see her.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother began to get close to Concubine Xian, the mother of the four princes.

And the fourth prince Li Xuan is Li You's biggest rival among the sons.

If the forces of the Queen Mother clan stand on the side of the four sons, the forces on both sides will reach the point of being evenly matched.

This is the last thing Empress Chen wants to see.

Red Sleeves knelt beside Empress Chen, bowed her head and said in a panic: "The slave maid married the county lord of Guanqing into the Dingguo Marquis Mansion before, and the entanglement with the Dingguo Marquis has been passed into the ears of the emperor, but I didn't expect it...... In the end, the emperor insisted on giving her a marriage ......"

Empress Chen's heart was cold, and her mind flashed through the pity on her face when Emperor Jin Ming saw Shui Qingqing in the Baifu Lingtang that day, and said coldly: "The emperor just loves the house and Wu." He missed Wu Ning, so he insisted on fulfilling her daughter and You'er, as if like this, he could deceive himself and let him find comfort in his heart. But I don't want to do this, how wronged my sister-in-law. ”

Red Sleeves said in a deep voice: "The most hateful thing is that the county lord of Guanqing, who obviously agreed with his mother before to dissolve the marriage contract." And on that day in the palace, the slave maid told her all the hints according to the instructions of the mother, but she didn't expect her to be disobedient to the yin, on the surface, but behind the scenes, she betrayed the mother again and agreed to get married......"

If it was said before, Queen Chen simply did not recognize Shui Qingqing as her daughter-in-law, and felt that her reputation was not worthy of her noble son, and after the marriage, Queen Chen felt deceived and couldn't help but hate Shui Qingqing.

Apricot eyes were full of frost, and Empress Chen said angrily: "Does she think that with the emperor's marriage, she can sit back and be her third princess without worry?" Hmph, until the last moment, this palace will not let her get her wish! ”

Red Sleeves whispered, "What are you going to do?" ”

Empress Chen wrinkled her eyebrows and groaned: "Now that she has returned to the White Mansion, she is very treacherous and even more ambitious, and she is already openly an enemy of this palace, so she will not help us to deal with his daughter." ”

"And that Yang's family, this palace still overestimates her. Although she was ruthless enough to get rid of Wu Ning and Aunt Pian, she couldn't stop Bai Haoqing from recognizing her daughter in the end, so she ...... I don't know if I can hand it over to her?! ”

Just when Empress Chen was thinking about whether to let the Yang family help her get rid of Shui Qingqing, at this moment, someone from the palace came in to tell her, and the Yang family sent a letter in.

Red Sleeves took the letter and handed it to Queen Chen, and said: "Niangniang, I heard that the daughter of the Yang family was retired by the Hou Mansion, and she was also imprisoned in Jing Zhaoyin's prison for murdering the heirs of the Hou Mansion. Bai Haoqing didn't care, presumably the Yang family came to beg Niangniang to save her daughter. ”

Empress Chen swept the letterhead with the red sleeve's hand, her eyes were cold, but the next moment she suddenly sat up, took the letterhead from the red sleeve's hand to her hand, and looked at it carefully.

The more she looked, the more happy Empress Chen became, her eyebrows stretched, and she smiled proudly: "You said yes, the Yang family is indeed here to ask for help from the palace, and let the palace come forward to beg her daughter." But how smart is she, she knows how to exchange things for things - or for what Bengong wants most, Bengong likes this Yang more and more. ”

Putting away the letter, Empress Chen got up and walked out, and commanded to the red sleeves: "You take the palace handwritten decree and personally go to Jingzhaoyin to let Bai Lingwei out." If the Hou Mansion is held accountable, it will be said that the palace will look at the feelings of the county lord of Guanqing, and save her sister from prison while opening the net, and I believe that Mrs. Hou will not even give the face of the palace. ”

Red Sleeves asked curiously: "Where are you going?" ”

Empress Chen smiled proudly: "Since the Yang family can help the palace solve the big trouble of Guanqing, then, You'er and Lin Rou's family affairs can continue-of this palace is of course to go to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, let the Queen Mother dissipate her anger, and then discuss the marriage between You'er and Lin Rou." ”

In this way, with Empress Chen coming forward, Bai Lingwei's master and servant finally came out of Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and in the evening, they were taken back to Bai Mansion by the Yang family through the back door.

When the news reached the Hou Mansion, although the old lady resented Bai Lingwei for being released from prison by the queen so quickly, she couldn't say anything, but Mei Zijin didn't feel suspicious in her heart.

In order to fight for Princess Wuning, Queen Chen has never liked the Yang family, and almost everyone in the capital knows that how can she suddenly help the Yang family and daughter now?!

He didn't believe that it would be the queen that Shui Qingqing came forward to beg.

Moreover, Queen Chen lives in the harem, why did she know about Bai Lingwei just after the accident?

The more he thought about it, the more confused Mei Zijin became, the soft sword in his hand danced more and more impermeable, and there was a chill in the rolled up sword qi.

It just so happened that Sanshi came back from outside, his face gloomy.

Mei Zijin put away his sword and turned around, and asked coldly, "Have you found out who took Yun'er from the Hou Mansion?" ”

Sanshi said in a deep voice: "Hui Ye, I found out, it's white!" ”

Hearing this, Mei Zijin's eyes sank, but there was not much surprise, because it was the same as he guessed.

It turned out that although at the gate of the palace that day, Shui Qingqing personally told him that Yun'er was taken away by her, but Mei Zijin didn't believe it.

He prefers to believe that someone is threatening her with Yun'er.

And this person is very likely to be Bai Haoqing, who is looking forward to Shui Qingqing marrying into the Three Princes' Mansion.

The deep eyes flashed with a cold glow, and Mei Zijin said coldly: "Have you found out where Bai Haoqing hid Yun'er?" ”

Sanshi said ashamedly: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't been found yet." ”

Mei Zijin's hand holding the long sword tightened, and he said coldly: "Keep checking, you must find Yun'er." ”

Sanshi responded in a deep voice, and said: "Master, the case of Princess Wuning has appeared-in Jing Zhaoyin's prison before, in the crowd who were ordered to be locked in the cell by the lord because of the siege of the county lord and the princess, someone recognized Xia Chan and said that she was also present that day, or she reached out and pushed down the county lord. ”

"Sure enough, it's them!"

Mei Zijin felt a chill in her heart, and she began to worry about Shui Qingqing.

When she returned to Baifu, it seemed that the scenery was infinite, but in fact it was more dangerous.

In order to climb to the royal family, Bai Haoqing forced her to submit to Yun'er.

And the Yang family and Bai Lingwei's mother and daughter also regard her as a thorn in their side and will definitely not let her go......

Therefore, he wants to find out the case of Princess Wuning as soon as possible and arrest the real culprit behind it in order to ensure her safety.

Thinking of this, Mei Zijin instructed Sanshi not to startle the snake first, and secretly investigated the siege between Xia Cicada and the people on the street that day, and found out the real murderer who killed Princess Wuning as soon as possible......

After Sanshi should get down, he said in a deep voice: "Master, the people who went to the Western Desert have also returned." ”

Mei Zijin's expression froze, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he said in a muffled voice: "Have you found out who the woman was that night?" ”

"Found it!"

Sanshi snorted: "That woman that night, but she was the new daughter-in-law of a small squire's family in Wangjia Town, twenty miles away from Luoyue Nunnery, and she happened to accompany her mother-in-law to the nunnery to burn incense that day, and rested in the wing room in the backyard, but unfortunately it was ......."

Hearing this, Mei Zijin was stunned in her heart-

Is it a married woman's daughter-in-law?!

But why is she still a virgin?!

The hand unconsciously stroked the bite mark on the shoulder, and Mei Zijin remembered very clearly that it was precisely because of her carelessness that she would bite down on his shoulder because of the unbearable pain for the first time......

Moreover, since she followed her mother-in-law to the nunnery to offer incense, why was there an aphrodisiac incense in the wing room where she lived, and her body's reaction was even more abnormal......

This is also one of the reasons why Mei Zijin did not go back to find the woman afterwards. He had doubts about whether the woman in the wing room was related to his assassins......

There were doubts in my heart, and there were even more inexplicable emotions surging. Mei Zijin was silent for a moment, her throat rolling, and finally asked with difficulty: "...... Who is she? Where are you now? ”

Sanshi sighed silently and said, "After that night, she was sunk in the pond...... I only know that her surname is 'Shui', and she is called Shui, and she is the daughter of an artist......"

The two words Shentang made Mei Zijin's heart sink with a 'pop', and guilt and self-blame surged in his heart.

After all, he still hurt her!

He always thought that night was a conspiracy, but he didn't expect that she was just an ordinary woman, but because of the absurdity of a night with himself, she was tragically sunk in the pond......

Then it occurred to him that since the woman was sunk in the pond that night, then she could not be her......

Mei Zijin in her heart, of course, refers to Shui Qingqing, and it was the West Desert that Mei Zijin sent to suspect that Shui Qingqing was the woman in the wing room that night.

And now, when he learned that the woman was not Shui Qingqing, he had mixed feelings in his heart......

Seeing his gloomy expression, Sanshi felt very uncomfortable, but he said with joy on his face: "Master, it will be February 2nd in a few days, and that day is my birthday, how do you want to spend it?" ”

Mei Zijin was stunned, there were too many things during this time, and he forgot that his birthday was approaching.

The people I care about the most are not around, and this year's birthday is destined to be bleak and lonely.

His tone was slightly cold, and he said indifferently: "How it was in previous years, this year is the same." ”

Sanshi said: "In previous years, there were 6 doctors to accompany the master to drink, and the 6 doctors left Beijing a few days ago, I don't know if I can catch up with the birthday of the Hou Ye......"

Before Sanshi's words fell, at this time, someone came over to tell him, saying that the 6th doctor had invited the Hou Ye to go to his house.

Mei Zijin looked at the getting late sky outside, thinking that 6 Lin had just come back to drink with him, and he happened to be upset, so he changed his clothes and went out.

At the gate of the 6 mansion, 6 Lin waited for Mei Zijin for a long time, and without waiting for his carriage to stop, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him to the mansion, while complaining: "Why are you so late today?" ”

Looking at 6 Lin's slightly strange look, Mei Zijin felt a slight pang in his heart and said, "You just came back, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

6 Lin pulled him forward, "Take you to see someone." ”

Mei Zijin was curious, and wanted to ask again, 6 Lin had already raised his hand to lift the curtain of the inner room and pouted to the person lying on the bed: "Look at who she is?" ”

From the door, lying on the bed was a middle-aged woman covered with gauze, her face was not very real, and when Mei Zijin got closer, she realized that the woman was actually the maid next to Princess Wuning, the poor aunt who fell off the cliff.

Aunt Pian's whole body was wrapped in thick gauze, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were cloudy, and she looked straight at Mei Zijin, describing the pain with a little vigilance.

The moment she saw Aunt Pian, Mei Zijin's whole body trembled, she looked at Aunt Pian in disbelief, and then looked back at 6 Lin with a serious face in shock.

6 Lin said in a deep voice: "On my way out of Beijing, there was a family of Mrs. Qiao's family who asked me for help, saying that there was a seriously ill person in the family, and when I went to see a doctor, she told me that she was the aunt next to Princess Wuning, and she was killed and fell off the cliff, begging me to take her back to the capital to see the county lord of Guanqing, but the county lord of Guanqing is now staying in Baifu, and outsiders can't see it at all, so I can only find you......"

It turned out that in order to save Princess Wuning, Aunt Lian fell off the cliff from the wheel of the car that day, fell on a branch in the middle of the mountain, and was met by a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood, and was saved, although she was seriously injured, but she saved her life.

6 Lin had rescued Princess Wuning before, so he believed her words and brought Aunt Lian back to the capital, wanting to bring a letter to Shui Qingqing, but the people of Baifu heard that they were looking for the county lord of Guanqing, and they didn't even let them report, only saying that the county lord was busy preparing for the wedding and didn't see outsiders......

After listening to 6 Lin's words, Mei Zijin looked extremely solemn, and came to the couch to ask Aunt Pian: "Does Aunt know who framed you that day?" ”

Aunt Pian looked at Mei Zijin with hesitant and vigilant eyes, and didn't speak for a long time, 6 Lin saw it on the side, and said incoherently: "Auntie, you have always said that someone wants to harm the county lord, and Hou Ye is the person who loves the county lord the most, let him give his life to your county lord, he is 100,000 willing, he will definitely not harm you...... Now that the county lord is in Baifu, we can't see him, what do you have to say, don't worry about telling the Hou Ye, he is definitely trustworthy......"

6 Lin's straightforward words made Mei Zijin's face red, but this was not the time to care about these.

He stepped forward and said solemnly to Aunt Pian: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I have found out that the person who killed you and the princess that day may be Mrs. Yang of Baifu." If my aunt has any other evidence, you can tell me with confidence. ”

Aunt Lian thought that it was Mei Zijin who told them about the county lord's presence in Wuchen'an, and couldn't help but believe him.

Thinking that Princess Wuning was dead, Aunt Pian's tears dripped down like broken threads, and she choked up and said, "Master Hou...... Maybe it's not just Madame Yang, there are other people who want to put the princess to death...... Now that the princess is dead, I'm afraid they won't let the princess go...... Ask the Hou Ye to find a way to bring the princess to meet the old slave......"

As Queen Chen and Red Sleeves guessed before, Aunt Lian was aware of Queen Chen's design to frame Princess Wuning and set fire to Princess Wuning's appearance, but because there was no evidence, she never dared to say it to Princess Wuning.

But Aunt Lian has always been on guard against Empress Chen in private, and it is precisely because of these precautions that she has seen through her hypocritical sisterhood towards Princess Wuning through careful observation.

It's just that Princess Wuning is simple-minded and kind-hearted, and she never takes Aunt Pian's usual vague reminders to heart, or in other words, Princess Wuning has never doubted Queen Chen, so she never takes Aunt Pian's words to heart.

And since the sudden fire in the other garden, Aunt Lian couldn't help but have doubts about Empress Chen again.

Because of the last time they met in the palace, when Princess Wuning told Empress Chen that the county lord of Guanqing was not dead and was still alive, the joy on Queen Chen's face did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all, and her eyes were more calculating and uneasy, and she never mentioned the marriage contract she promised back then, and she also found all kinds of excuses to let Princess Wuning not recognize the county lord too early......

When the fire broke out in the other garden, Aunt Pity watched the poor Princess Wuning in pain and fear in the fire, as if the events of the year were repeated!

She raised her hand with difficulty and grabbed Mei Zijin, and said eagerly: "Master Hou, tell the county lord to let her be careful of the queen's ......"
