Everything was planned.

Qingli went to the prayer hall early, and Yin Li also waited there as agreed.

The two met, and the news was sent back.

Bingling came in happily, with a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Niangniang, do you think we can drink this happy tea?" ”

"Then it depends on what Qingli thinks." Cen Mu Ning embroidered chrysanthemums, and the lilac petals were mixed with some silver threads, looking sparkling. I don't know if I was distracted by listening to Bingling's words, and the tip of the needle suddenly pierced my finger. "Hmm......"

"Is Miss alright?" Bingling hurriedly came over and pinched her fingers: "Let the slave take a look, ah, it's bleeding." ”

"It's fine." Cen Muning disagreed: "There are a few embroideries that don't pierce fingers." Besides, I've never been good at it, so it's inevitable. Just wait. ”

"Slave go and get some painkillers for you." Bingling is still worried.

"It's okay, don't bother." Cen Muning glanced at Na Xiupa: "It's good that it's not defaced, otherwise it would be a pity." ”

I can't tell what the reason is, Bingling's heart is faintly uneasy. It always feels like something is going to happen.

Who knew that she had just walked out of the door of the inner room, and saw Ming and Qing rushing over: "Go and tell Niangniang, the eldest princess of Ziyang is here." ”

"The eldest princess entered the palace at this time, could it be that there was something wrong?" Bingling's heart tightened, afraid that Ziyang would have something to do in the next life, so he hurriedly said: "You go and tell the queen mother, the mother has something to tell me to do, and I can't pull away at this time." ”

"It's fine." Ming and Qing didn't dare to delay, and went directly to the inner room to pray.

Bingling avoided people and found his own people through a side door in the backyard. "Did you have an eyebrow about the last time you were asked to investigate? Determine as early as possible, don't delay exactly. ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates know what to do."

Vigilantly observing the surroundings, there was indeed no one else, and Bingling breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss didn't know what the reason was, but she refused to let her do it to the Queen Mother, although it was reasonable to expose the truth of the year. But peace can only be made when the enemy is dead. She understands this truth better than anyone else. Don't let the young lady take risks.

At this time, Cen Muning was socializing with Ziyang, and she was also quite troubled.

"Okay, okay, eldest princess, you haven't said a word yet, you're crying here, this palace doesn't know what's going on, how can I help you?" Cen Mooning handed her a silk, shook her head and sighed: "Can you calm down first?" Come and pour tea for the princess. ”

"Let the slave come." Bingling came in just in time and took the hot pot from the little maid. The boiling water is slowly poured into the tea cup, and the fragrance of tea is just floating, and the smell is pleasant.

Ziyang wiped his tears and said in a choked voice: "It's not a glorious thing, if it wasn't really no way, I wouldn't want to trouble the queen." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Cen Mu frowned and asked, "Originally, I misunderstood Niangniang, thinking that my husband's sweetheart was you." Later, I realized that I had made a mistake, so I checked it carefully...... That woman was the concubine he hid in the outer room. After all these years of separation, the woman turned out to be back. It's really a wildfire that can't be burned out, and the spring breeze blows and grows again. ”

"How is this possible?" Cen Muning couldn't help but smile: "Maybe my cousin said this on purpose in order to fool you." The woman back then, at this time, the bones were all yellow, it had been many years. ”

"No, it's not." Ziyang said categorically: "It's her, she didn't die at all." ”

"How could this be!" Of course Cen Muning didn't believe it: "That woman jumped off the cliff by herself. Bengong and his cousin, as well as the family of Chu Mansion, saw it with their own eyes. The cliff was so high and steep that it took two days to go down to find her body. It's a pity that there are jackals and wild dogs and other fierce beasts under the cliffs, and the corpses have been changed beyond recognition. But her cousin insisted on giving her a thick burial, which was also something that the palace was involved in. ”

"Unrecognizable, which means that the person who died, you didn't even see her for what she really was. She could be dead, or she could find another corpse, change into her clothes, and pretend to be her. Ziyang said as he spoke, tears once again burst out of his eyes: "Queen Mother, he seems to have been hooked, except for entering the palace and going to the court, that is, going to the outer room, it is difficult for me to see him now." Seeing that it was the New Year's Day, I went to the house to invite him back to his house, and he actually put on a face for me, saying that if I wanted to go again, he would move to a place where I couldn't find it. Queen Mother, how can you say that it is so annoying? ”

Cen Muning's mind was buzzing, and she didn't listen to what Princess Ziyang said later.

Obviously, that woman is dead, how can she be alive again after many years? It's incredible to go back to the person she left in the first place.

"Niangniang......" Ziyang looked at her blankly, and cried even more sadly: "Even you think I'm being unreasonable?" Anyway, I'm also the eldest princess, why should I be humiliated like this by him? ”

"No, I'm just wondering how the dead could come back." Cen Mu Ning frowned and looked at Zi Yang suspiciously.

"I don't know this, I want to ask Chu Peiyuan about it, but his attitude ...... It's like I'm going to eat his sweetheart, but I'm not allowed to ask a word about anything related to her. When I mentioned it, I turned my face. He was not like this before, his courtesy, his humility, his demeanor and heart, as if no woman had ruined it overnight. He was like a madman, on the lookout for everyone who might hurt her. ”

Having said this, Cen Muning already had to believe that this was true. Chu Peiyuan used to go crazy like this, when he was fifteen years old, he wanted to marry the girl who was only thirteen. At that time, she was just a little girl who didn't know anything, so she would only follow the adults to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, after seven years, the woman really came back, and he was put under a spell by her again.

"Bingling, go and see, has my cousin entered the court today." Cen Mooning said in a solemn tone: "Wait for the next scattered dynasty and let him come over." ”

"Yes." Bingling nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Queen Mother, this time, no matter what, you have to make decisions for me." Ziyang sobbed again and again with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry." Cen Muning also sighed: "At the beginning, the elders of the Chu family were against him marrying such a woman, and that woman did not hesitate to force him to death in order to prove that she was sincere to him, and finally jumped off the cliff. This incident made my cousin angry, and over the years, he has been dissatisfied with the elders of the Chu family, even if he doesn't say it, everyone knows it in their hearts. Now, I'm afraid that something bad will happen again. ”

It's only been a few days since it was peaceful, and it's been like this again.

Cen Muning was very uneasy in her heart. "Princess, go home first."

"Why?" Of course Ziyang didn't want to: "Is there anything the queen doesn't want me to hear?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Cen Mu Ning glared at her: "If my cousin knows that you came to me to complain and expose his identity as a concubine, he will definitely hate you." Do you want to continue to be married to him in the future? ”

"This ......" Ziyang was slightly stunned, and nodded again and again: "The queen is right." But I can't hide the fact that I entered the palace. If he wanted to know, he would know. ”

"Just say that you are here to ask for peace, and I noticed that something was wrong in your look. As long as you don't argue with him face to face, he will be suspicious at most, but there is no evidence, and he can't blame you for this matter after all. Cen Muning frowned and said, "In short, don't tear your face in front of you, otherwise it will be difficult to recover." ”

"What the queen said is very true." Ziyang bit his lip and nodded solemnly. "Then I'll go back."

"Let's go back." Cen Muning glanced at her: "Don't be impulsive in everything." Let me ask the whole thing and think about what to do. ”

"Yes." When Ziyang left, he couldn't help but look back at the queen twice. She put all her expectations on the queen.

When Bingling came in, Cen Mu Ning's face was tight, and his tone was a little cold: "Bingling, find a reliable person and find out my cousin's outer house." Remember, don't alarm the people of the Chu family around us. ”

"Don't worry, there are a number of slaves." Bingling went to arrange this matter on the front foot, and Ming Qing on the back foot led Chu Peiyuan in.

"The queen mother is in such a hurry to find Weichen to come over, I don't know what to order?" Chu Peiyuan saluted her according to the rules of the palace: "Is it unsatisfactory to arrange for the people who enter the palace?" If there is anything wrong, Weichen can arrange it for the queen again. ”

Cen Muning looked at his handsome face and smiled slightly: "No, my uncle loves me, and the people who arranged it are all extraordinary." Since they came to the palace on an errand, Fengling Hall has lived much more at ease. ”

"That's ......" Chu Peiyuan was a little confused.

"It's just been a long time since I've seen you, and I want to talk to you." Cen Mu smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with my cousin?" ”

"Oh, no." Chu Peiyuan looked out the window with some uneasiness.

Cen Muning could see that he wanted to leave, which showed that he was reluctant to be separated from her for a moment.

"I don't even remember."

"Don't remember what?" Chu Peiyuan looked at her curiously.

"What was the name of the girl who almost became your wife?" Cen Muning suddenly spoke, and when she was mentioned, Chu Peiyuan's expression really changed.

"It seems that there is no impermeable wall in this world. The eldest princess of Ziyang entered the palace today, right? Chu Peiyuan's tone was slightly worse than before. Queen Mother, Weichen knows that you care about Weichen and the Chu family, but now, I am also a general who can take charge of the Chu family, and I don't bother you about my private affairs. ”

"You haven't come back to me yet, what's her name?" Cen Muning looked at Chu Peiyuan's eyes.

"It's a pity." Chu Peiyuan said these two words with a smile.

"But......" Cen Muning vaguely remembered that she didn't seem to have this name before.

"It didn't matter to us before, but it matters now." Chu Peiyuan raised his eyebrows: "If it weren't for Ziyang's mouth, I wouldn't tell you her identity." Now they will not let the people of the Chu family know who she is. All I know is that she is my woman and will stay with me for the rest of my life. ”

"I don't remember why my aunt had to separate you. Why did the uncles of the Chu family insist on sending her elsewhere. Cen Mu said solemnly: "But at that time, she jumped off the cliff in despair, and I still remember it." Cousin, don't you think it's strange that after so many years of the high cliff and the broken corpse, a living person suddenly appears in front of you again? ”

"What else does it matter?" Chu Peiyuan said in a resolute tone: "She is my woman, and I will not allow the previous tragedy to be repeated." The queen mother, the Chu family and the Cen family, with you both loss and glory, I think you, like me, don't want anything bad to happen, right? ”

"Not necessarily." Cen Muning said calmly: "If she appears, it will be a boulder that breaks this peace." Would you be so determined to keep her by your side? ”

"Yes." Chu Peiyuan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead came out: "I have lost her once, and there will never be a second time." ”

That heavy ruthlessness made him look murderous.

"I'm glad you found someone to keep you motivated. Not everyone is blessed with this blessing. Cen Muning was still calm and calm: "But cousin, I'm afraid I'm not alone in this matter now." How can paper hold the fire? ”
