Chapter 22: Disputes

It didn't take long for it to spread in the palace that the emperor intended to make Concubine Xuan the queen, and the news shocked the government and the opposition as soon as it came out, and it reached Jin Shaoming's ears, he realized that the situation was urgent, frowned slightly, and stepped up the investigation day and night, wanting to find out the truth as soon as possible, and disposed of Ye Rongxuan when she had not yet ascended to the throne.

If such a vicious person is allowed to ascend to the back position, he will inevitably use his mother-in-law to suppress him and Mu Lingyun, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the emperor will choose to maintain his reputation if he knows the truth, and he will not easily move the queen, after all, he has replaced two queens in a row, and he doesn't know what the rumors outside will become, endangering the country.

Jin Shaoming was bent on finding evidence to prove that Ye Rongxuan was the mastermind behind the scenes, and instructed Xiangxue to take good care of the princess, he himself went out early and returned late every day, for five or six days in a row, Mu Lingyun didn't even see him.

Xiangxue noticed the princess's increasingly depressed spirit, and tried her best to take Mu Lingyun to the garden for a walk and enjoy the flowers, so as not to be bored in the house and lose her energy.

On this day, Mu Lingyun was taken by Xiangxue to see the peony that had just bloomed in the garden. As soon as the group reached the peony, they heard a whisper coming from behind the rockery.

"I heard that the prince wants to exonerate the queen, and he has been busy looking for evidence recently!"

"What else is the queen, it should be abolished now, but why did our prince exonerate her, that is the one who killed Xiao Shizi!"

"I think the prince probably doesn't want Concubine Xuan to be the queen, there is news in the palace that the emperor is going to be the queen, and the prince is in a hurry!"

"Why?"

"You are stupid, Concubine Xuan likes the prince in her heart, if she becomes the queen, then she will be the prince's serious mother-in-law!"

Xiangxue saw that Mu Lingyun's face became more and more ugly, her face changed slightly, and she pretended to clear her throat and coughed a few times, as soon as Xiangxue's cough came out, the voice behind the rockery immediately stopped, Xiangxue frowned, and said, "Who's behind, come out!" ”

Two people dressed in maidservant costumes walked out from behind the rockery tremblingly, and when they saw the princess, their faces turned white, kneeling on the ground and trembling, and begging for mercy in unison: "The princess spares her life!" The princess spares her life! ”

Mu Lingyun's eyes swept over the two maidservants, these two people looked at the eyes, they were not the slaves and maids in her courtyard, and asked coldly, "What you just said is true?" ”

The two maidservants kowtowed and said, "The princess spares her life, we just overheard that the prince is looking for evidence, and wants to prove that it was not the queen who killed the little prince, and the princess spares her life!"

Xiang Xue saw Mu Lingyun's eyes burning, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and frowned and scolded loudly: "Two cheap maids, is the master's matter also something that you slaves can discuss?" ”

When Mu Lingyun was distracted, Xiangxue called the guards behind her to drag the two people who were arguing about the master behind her back and locked them up, while carefully observing Mu Lingyun's expression.

The corners of Mu Lingyun's mouth showed a sneer, her face was gloomy, the queen was the murderer who caused her to lose her mother at a young age and her young son, even the emperor had already convicted her, and the funny thing was that the person next to her pillow now wanted to exonerate the murderer, and this news was like a hammer smashing into her heart, and it hurt greatly.

Xiangxue's heart trembled, and she asked cautiously: "Princess, you should be tired after walking for so long, do you want to go to the pavilion to rest for a while?" ”

Mu Lingyun nodded, and Xiangxue helped her into the flower viewing pavilion in the garden.

Sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, Mu Lingyun looked at the peony, and looked at the past, there were still a few peonies mixed in it, peonies are similar to peonies, there is a fake and real image, but peonies are always peonies, noble and graceful, that peony can never be compared.

Mu Lingyun couldn't help but think, is she the peony? Or that peony?

Seeing that Mu Lingyun's expression gradually eased, Xiang Xue felt that Mu Lingyun had a big heart, and she should not have taken the words of the two maids just now to heart, and her nervous heart quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't notice a trace of hidden anger that quickly crossed Mu Lingyun's eyes.

Sometimes the calmer it is, the more the storm will be hidden under this calm, Mu Lingyun is like this at the moment, she tries her best to suppress her anger, so that she is no different from usual.

That night, Jin Shaoming returned to the main room with a tired body, it was dark in the main room, Jin Shaoming walked to the bed as a matter of course, wanting to take a look at Mu Lingyun and then go to bathe and change clothes, as a result, he saw an empty bed, startled, and shouted: "Someone, where is the princess?" ”

As soon as Jin Shaoming's words fell, the person walked out of the bedroom quickly, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he felt a person sitting on the soft couch next to the window, and turned to look at it, it was Mu Lingyun who scared him away.

Soon, the attendants in the main room lit all the candles in the dormitory, and the candles were lit up and they could see more clearly.

Jin Shaoming saw that she was wearing a thin middle coat, sitting on the soft couch and didn't know what she was thinking, and the annoyance in her heart came to her heart, even if she was annoyed in her heart, she finally turned into a helpless sigh and said, "It's so late, Yun'er, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Why are you sitting in this place, and you are still wearing so little, don't freeze, your body has not recovered yet, don't be careless!"

Mu Lingyun only raised his eyes and looked at him fixedly, and he didn't speak, just watched silently, with a flash of hidden anger in his eyes.

Jin Shaoming said a lot of words, and he didn't wait for her response for a long time, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, his eyes were locked tightly on Mu Lingyun's body, and he asked in a low voice and with a cautious tone: "Yun'er, what's wrong?" Is something going on? ”

Mu Lingyun looked at him for a while, his mind quickly crossed the troubled thoughts, closed his eyes painfully, and when he opened them again, he looked at him indifferently without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and asked, "Lord Wang, what have you been busy with recently?" The concubine has not seen the prince for many days, and she has to endure sleepiness until this moment, so that she can wait to see the prince!"

Jin Shaoming looked at her with a stunned look in his eyes, since they opened their hearts and became a veritable husband and wife, Mu Lingyun has never called him 'Lord Wang' anymore, he has always called him his cousin, what's wrong today?

Jin Shaoming thought carefully about the things in recent days, but suddenly found that he had been busy looking for evidence these days, going out early and returning late, listening to Xiangxue's report every day to say that the princess was okay and as usual, and he didn't want him to ignore her inadvertently, thinking of this, he reached out to hug her, opened his lips and said, "Yun'er, are you blaming me for not being by your side these days?" I'm sorry Yun'er, give me some more time, and I'll be able to find out the truth soon!"

The suppressed flame in Mu Lingyun's heart seemed to be ignited in an instant, and he pushed Jin Shaoming away, and said in a cold voice: "The prince should really be doing his best, the concubine doesn't know what this queen promised you, and she wants to help her so hard!"

Jin Shaoming was stunned by Mu Lingyun's words, what kind of words were he saying, he made something out of nothing, frowned coldly and said, "You, where did you hear what crazy words, when did I help her like you said?" ”

Mu Lingyun looked at him coldly, and already decided in his heart that he was arguing for himself, and reprimanded loudly: "People up and down the palace are looking at it, Lord Wang, in order to exonerate the queen, regardless of the enmity of the deceased son, Lord Wang, you will even deny it, won't you be sorry?" ”

Jin Shaoming couldn't help but be stunned, yes, she thought in her heart that the queen was the murderer who killed her own mother and parent, and blamed the pain of losing her mother and son on the queen, and now she found that he was trying to erase the suspicion of poisoning from the queen's body, no wonder she was angry like this.

Mu Lingyun saw that Jin Shaoming suddenly fell silent, and his heart became more and more annoyed, he made it clear that he was admitting what he said, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Mu Lingyun didn't want to suppress his nature anymore, and shouted loudly at Jin Shaoming: "Jin Shaoming, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, that's our child, you once said that you were so looking forward to his arrival, as a result, you don't care about the dead son at all, and you only think about defending the queen, you don't accompany me as the father of my child at all!" ”

Jin Shaoming was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to say this, she held her breath in her heart, held Mu Lingyun's shoulders with both hands, and explained: "That's not the case, Yun'er, you calm down first and listen to my explanation!"

Mu Lingyun twisted his body, wanting to shake off Jin Shaoming's restrained hands, and said angrily: "Explanation is cover-up, cover-up is truth, what else do you want to cover up with me!" ”

Jin Shaoming walked back and forth in the room, his right hand was tightened, tightened, he had been restraining himself, but he still couldn't help but argue for himself: "Yun'er, why don't you believe me, I did all this for you and the child, wait a little longer and the truth will soon be revealed!"

Mu Lingyun looked at Jin Shaoming indifferently, and the words he said were as sharp as a blade, and every word seemed to be cutting his heart, and said, "How does the prince want me to believe the prince?" ”

How to believe? That is unbelief. Jin Shaoming didn't expect that she didn't believe in her sincerity, and she couldn't restrain her anger anymore and said: "Mu Lingyun, when are you going to make trouble, didn't I explain it to you, I didn't help the queen, I just want to find out the murderer who really killed our children, wait a while, wait for me, when I find evidence, you won't be able to understand who I'm for!" ”

Mu Lingyun was stunned for a moment, from the time they met to now, for so long, Jin Shaoming had never blushed with her, let alone yelled at her so angrily, he made her feel very strange and terrifying.

Jin Shaoming regretted it after yelling, seeing Mu Lingyun's eyes looking at him as if he was looking at a stranger, his heart ached, and at the same time, he was blaming, why Mu Lingyun refused to give him more time, he would prove it to her.
