Where is the breakthrough?

On the way back, Cen Muning was thinking about it.

The Queen Mother must have something to do with her mother, but without evidence, it is impossible to find the truth of the year. So who else knows except the Queen Mother? The maids beside her, Jun Xiu and Aunt Qin all choked their breath. I don't know what the name of the one I saw today is......

I don't know if it's because it's so stuffy today, Cen Muning only feels that her heart is suffocated, and there is a mess wrapped around her mind, and she can't figure it out.

"Miss, drink honey water to moisten your throat." Bingling saw her thoughts and hurriedly handed over the water bladder.

"You're careful, and you still take this with you when you go out." Cen Mu smiled warmly.

"The slave and maid remember that once upon a time you and your wife went out of the house. Madame will definitely instruct the slave maid to prepare a water bladder for you. Bingling said with a smile: "The water bladder is the best nectar and the most moisturizing throat." ”

"Yes." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "My mother has always been careful, and she cares for me even more. I remember that every time I went to the incense, my mother would pray for me, and rarely thought about herself. ”

"Yes, every fifteenth day of the new year, Madame will go to Kichijoji not far away to pray for blessings." Bingling sighed faintly: "Has Miss been there since then?" I don't know if the prayer lamp that Madame lit for the young lady is still burning. ”

"I ...... I haven't really been there. Cen Muning opened the curtain of the car and looked at the sky: "Qingli, let's go to Jixiang Temple." ”

"Yes." Qingli agreed and called the coachman to reroute to Kichijoji.

It was a coincidence that as soon as I entered the gate of Kichijoji, it rained.

Qingli instructed the coachman to find a shelter from the rain to place the carriage, rest for a while, and wait for the rain to stop.

Cen Muning was anxious to go inside, she hadn't been here for a long time. Since her mother's death, she has been reluctant to come to the place where she is sad.

"Is the donor here to bring incense?" The monk who led the way asked respectfully.

"Yes." Cen Muning nodded slightly: "I don't know if it's convenient." ”

"Naturally convenient." The monk gave them two umbrellas and led them to the temple.

Everything here is the same as in the past, except that there are not many pilgrims today.

In the Sanding incense burner in front of the main hall, the cigarette smoke is swirling, and there is no fear of such a spring rain.

"Three donors, please."

"Thank you." Cen Muning smiled slightly, and said to the green plough beside him: "You go and add more sesame oil for me." I just have something to ask the host master. ”

"Don't worry, the princess, the slave and maid will do a good job." Qingli nodded gently.

After Cen Muning worshiped and worshiped the incense in front of the Buddha, he followed the master who led the way into the inner hall.

"Hello master abbot." Cen Muning bowed slightly, which was considered a salute.

"This is ...... The daughter of the Prime Minister's House. "The abbot has seen her and is naturally impressed.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the master still remembers." Cen Muning was a little overjoyed. "I don't know if the master still remembers the prayer lamp that my mother lit for me back then?"

"Naturally, I remember." The abbot said gently: "Mrs. Xiangye gave enough sesame oil and instructed my temple to make the lamp bright all year round. I also told the old lady that if Miss comes alone, please add some lamp oil by yourself, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish. ”

"Mother still has such commands." Cen Muning gasped and said to Bingling beside him, "Thank you for reminding me to take a look, otherwise I'm afraid I won't remember these things." ”

The abbot led them to the inner room where the prayer lamps were lit.

Perhaps my mother really added a lot of sesame oil and silver, and there were two prayer lamps in this inner room.

"Miss Cen, this prayer lamp was lit for you by Madame." The abbot's tone was soft: "The old man will not delay you here to remember the deceased." ”

"Thank you, Abbot." Cen Mu stared at him and sent him away, adding sesame oil to the prayer lamp.

The blame is that the oil pot is a little heavy, but the oil poured out is very small, and it has not been filled with lamps for a long time.

Cen Mu Ning opened the lid of the oil pot with suspicion. There seems to be a bamboo tube inside.

"Don't get Miss's hands dirty, let the slave come." Bingling quickly took out the bamboo tube, unscrewed the lid on this side and poured it out. An object wrapped in an oilcloth that looks like it's been here for some time.

The oilcloth was opened layer by layer, and Cen Muning's heart became tense up one by one.

Did my mother leave this thing here on purpose? Is it for her to be deliberately aware?

"Miss, what is this?" Bingling finally found a seal from the oilcloth.

"This is ......" Cen Muning's hand holding the seal trembled slightly, it was carved from an excellent piece of Qingshang-grade sealed door blue. An extremely conspicuous character is the name of the queen mother before she left the cabinet.

"Miss, are you alright? Why did your face become so bad? Bingling is worried.

"This is the Queen Mother's private seal." Cen Muning's heart was beating very fast: "Bingling, do you remember that my father wronged my mother and concubine back then, and even suspected that I was not a relative of the bloodline, what was the name of the object of suspicion." ”

"The slave remembers that it seems to be surnamed Bai and called Bai Shuo." Bingling frowned: "He used to be Madame's senior brother. But I don't know where I went afterward. The slave remembered that when the old man was suspicious of his wife, he once wanted to write a letter of divorce and invited him to come to the mansion to confront him face to face. But I don't know why, I just didn't find that person......"

Will Bai Shuo have anything to do with the Queen Mother? What is the purpose of my mother's collection of the Queen Mother's private seal?

Cen Muning's heart was pounding, and the whole person fell into a state of excitement. It's as if one step further, one more layer of paper, and she can see the light and the truth.

"Abbot ......"

"Miss, don't worry, wait for the slave." Bingling chased after him uneasily.

"Abbot, dare you ask, when was the last time you saw my mother?" Cen Muning was worried.

"If the old man is not mistaken, it should be the first two days of Madame's accident." The abbot said worriedly: "I saw that the lady's face was faintly bad that day, and the old man also persuaded one or two, but it didn't seem to enter the lady's heart. Perhaps there is a master in everything. The old man was able to tell Miss Cen these words at this time, and he finally ended a matter on his mind. ”

"Thank you, Abbot." Cen Muning held the seal and left Kichijoji in the rain.

The abbot looked at the departing carriage and finally smiled. "What you promised me has been done, and what I promised you will be done, but, don't embarrass my disciple."

"Nature." The person behind him responded coldly, and the knife poked in the back of the heart. "The abbot is good to go."

After returning home, she has been pacing back and forth at the door of the middle courtyard leading to the inner courtyard. Zhuang Chenchen hasn't come back yet, she can't go into the inner courtyard without permission, she can only wait here.

"Don't worry, princess, there is something in the palace, and the master will inevitably delay for some time." Qingli saw that her face was not good, and sweat was sweating all the time on her forehead, so she couldn't help but be relieved: "Don't be so anxious, the master is back, and these things will definitely be solved." ”

Before Qingli's words fell, he saw Zhuang Chen's familiar figure coming.

"The master is back."

Cen Muning turned around, and Cen Muning's indifferent face appeared in front of him. "Greetings to Your Highness."

"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen had no intention of stopping, and walked straight inside.

"Your Highness." Cen Mu Ning chased after him, frowned, and said, "The concubine has something important, and she wants to show her highness." ”

Ling Yechen didn't stop her from entering the inner courtyard, but he didn't stop to listen to her. "Something happened in Yecheng, the emperor ordered me to lead my troops to meet the enemy, and I took the token and left the imperial city immediately. If you have anything, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"But ......" Cen Muning was still hesitating, he had already gone straight to the study to get the token.

"Your Royal Highness......" Cen Mooning stopped in front of him: "Two days before my mother's accident, I used to ...... in Kichijoji"

Zhuang Chenchen's face was cold, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "These days, don't leave the palace no matter what." Whatever you have, you have to wait for me to come back and fix it. Qingli, you stay and take care of the princess. ”

"Yes, master." Qingli saluted respectfully.

Zhuang Chenchen and Cen Mu Ning glanced at each other, then turned to leave. Yin Li followed him all the time, never talking much.

Cen Muning's words came to his lips, but he could only swallow them stiffly: "Hasn't Yecheng always been heavily guarded, how can there be an invasion of foreign enemies?" Qingli, how many days does it take to get from the Imperial City to Yecheng? ”

Qingli calculated a little and said, "The master's horse is fast, and it will take four or five days." Because from the Imperial City to Yecheng, you have to pass through a mountain. The mountain is steep, and it is not easy to ride a horse. Not to mention the soldiers. ”

"It's naturally not so easy for a large group of people to walk on mountain roads." Cen Muning thought to herself, in this way, it will take half a month to come and go. What kind of situation will it be if you wait for another half a month? It's so easy to get the seal, shouldn't I continue to check it down?

"By the way, since I married into the Ruiming Palace, I have never returned to the mansion. His Royal Highness is not here these days, Bingling, shall we go back to Cen Mansion? Cen Muning thought to herself, if there were any clues, they must be hidden in Cen Mansion. Maybe the prime minister's father is so busy that he can't take care of the things that his mother packed up for the women. She wanted to try her luck.

"No." Qingli hurriedly shook his head: "The master just said that no matter what happens, the princess will stay in the palace and wait for the master to come back and solve it." Princess, the slave knows your thoughts, but since the master has spoken first, the slave and the maid really dare not disobey. ”

"It's just going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, what does it matter." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Although I will wait for His Highness to come back, I will talk about it." If you don't feel at ease, you can go back with me with Bingling. With you on the left and right, my father cares about His Royal Highness's affection, and he doesn't want to criticize me. ”

"This ......" Qingli is a little difficult. No matter how safe the Cen Xiang Mansion is, it can't compare to the palace. The master is also afraid that the princess will make a mistake. ”

"No, it won't." Cen Muning gently hooked her lips: "I just miss my younger siblings and fourth aunt." Besides, it's always a good thing to be able to relax a little bit. ”

"That'...... The princess promised the slave maid that she would never go anywhere else except for the Prime Minister's Mansion. "Qingli is still not at ease.

"Nature." Cen Muling nodded: "Never go anywhere else." ”

"Okay." Qingli said gently: "Tomorrow, the princess will go back to the house, and let the slave maid arrange for it first." ”

"Hmm." Although Cen Muning nodded, she didn't want to delay in her heart. But before she could, she had to hide the seal. If you put it on your body, it's too risky.
