On the way back to the courtyard, Mu Lingkong was in a trance and almost alarmed the nursing home. Bei Shuo flew out, jumped onto the roof with her, and returned to Qingshui Courtyard a few times, until he helped her sit at the table and poured her another glass of water, and then asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Lingkong looked at the water lines in the teacup in her hand, swinging around one by one, and felt that her mood at the moment was the same as this water pattern, she was silent for a long time before she said, "Beishuo, arrange a personal ...... No, you go back to the North Hells in person and bring a letter to your father. ”

Bei Shuo glanced at her pale face and lowered his head, "Yes!" The subordinates will send more people to protect the master, and during the period when the subordinates are away, please be careful with the master! ”

Mu Lingkong nodded, and remembered something again, "Is there any news from Feihua?" ”

"There are already some eyebrows, if the arrest is successful, the master will be notified immediately."

Mu Lingkong nodded, and suddenly heard a noisy voice outside the courtyard, she frowned, signaled Beishuo to retreat, and then sat in place and quietly listened to the movement outside the courtyard, after a while, the people in the courtyard were also awakened a lot, and they opened the door and stood in the courtyard to inquire about each other, Mu Lingkong opened the door and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Qingli, who had already opened the courtyard door and was checking the situation, ran back quickly, "Miss, it's Aunt Lin's Zijin Pavilion that is on fire, the fire is very big, it seems that it can't be controlled!" ”

Mu Lingkong's eyes turned white for a while, he held on to the door frame next to him, and muttered, "How can this be!" ”

Qingli and Dongxue came up to help her, and as soon as she pushed the two away, she stumbled out of the courtyard, "I'm going to take a look!" ”

"Hey, miss, you put on a dress!" Dongxue shouted, and hurried back to the house to get his clothes.

When Mu Ling ran seven or eight feet away from the Ion Pavilion, the heat of the raging fire rushed to his face, the firelight almost illuminated the sky red, and the little maids carried buckets of water in and out, but the fire did not stop, but burned more and more.

In the afterglow, she saw Meng Huai'an wearing a coat, standing in the closest place to the fire, the face shining by the firelight couldn't tell what the expression was, it seemed sad and joyful, but the hand holding the shirt was getting tighter and tighter, and finally suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Burn it, burn it, burn it clean, it will be clean......"

The busy maid looked at him in horror, Mu Lingkong smiled coldly, turned around and walked towards Qingshui Courtyard, Dongxue behind him timidly called Miss, put on a coat for her, and handed her a handkerchief, she touched her cheeks in a daze, only to find that she had burst into tears.

This night, most of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not fall asleep, and after the Zijin Pavilion burned overnight, only a pile of broken walls remained, and the wisps of sparks flickered in the early morning mist.

Meng Ruyue came to Qingshui Courtyard early in the morning, followed her out, and was full of worry, "If you are sad, don't hold back, cry out, hold back and hurt yourself." ”

"I'm not sad." Mu Lingkong was telling the truth, but he felt empty in his heart, "You don't have to accompany me, I want to be alone for a while!" ”

Meng Ruyue nodded, and walked towards the door step by step, "If there is anything, you ask the maid to go to Lanyueju to find me!" ”

Mu Lingkong nodded casually, lay on the bed and prepared to sleep again, shook the quilt and suddenly shook out a letter, she was silent for a moment, bent down and picked up the letter from the ground, there was no signature on the envelope, she slowly took out the letter paper and unfolded it to see.

"Second Miss herself, when you see this letter, all the truth should have been known, and at this time, Peach Blossom has already returned to dust with Madame's body, please forgive Peach, I really can't bear to let Madame such a kind and clean person not be at peace after death. On the beam of the room, there is hidden evidence of Meng Huai'an's self-interest, corruption, and collusion with the prince over the years, hoping to help the second lady, and the peach blossom is a masterpiece. ”

The handwriting on the paper is clumsy and ugly, but the words are heavy. Although Mu Lingkong had already guessed, after seeing this letter, his heart was still heavy for a moment.

She raised her voice to call Dongxue, who was already guarding the door, and when she heard the call, she almost immediately pushed the door in, "Miss, what do you command?" ”

Mu Lingkong folded the letter paper in his hand carefully and asked, "Do you know, a person named Peach Blossom?" ”

Dongxue raised her eyes to look at her, "Did Miss remember something?" Aunt Peach Blossom is the one who has always been by Aunt Lin's side, and she also took care of Miss when she was a child! ”

"Do you know that Aunt Peach Blossom has any relatives in the world?"

Dongxue frowned and thought for a while, "Aunt Peach Blossom was rescued by Madame before me, and I heard that she was alone and didn't seem to have any relatives!" ”

"Oh, it's okay, you go down!"

*

It had been three days since Mu Lingkong walked out of the door, she looked at the warm autumn sun, squinted her eyes and stretched.

Meng Ruyue stumbled in from the gate of the courtyard, "You are finally reluctant to go out, I'm worried about death!" ”

Although Mu Lingkong hadn't gone out for the past three days, he knew that Meng Ruyue came to visit her every day. Hearing this, she smiled lightly, "I've been holding back for so long, go out with me!" ”

"Okay, I'll pay for everything you fancy today!" Meng Ruyue patted her chest.

"But the little woman is disrespectful!"

The two of them wore hats and walked from the street to the end of the street in the crowded street, Dong Xueqing pear Xiangyun Xiangqiao had things in his hands, and Meng Ruyue still looked interested.

Mu Lingkong teased, "Is this buying something for yourself or buying something for me!" ”

Meng Ruyue pointed to what the four maids were holding in their hands and what they were holding in their arms, "It's all yours!" ”

Mu Lingkong smiled, turned his head sideways to look at a craftsman on the street, at this moment, a woman in a hurry passed by and hit her hard, she didn't say anything, the woman hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Mu Lingkong glanced at her deeply, "It's okay!" There are a lot of people on the street, so be careful when walking. ”

A few people wandered around the street for a while, and then entered a small restaurant nearby and asked for a private room to rest. Mu Lingkong excused himself to go to the clean room, jumped down from the window behind the clean room, and flashed into a small alley not far away, where a woman was leaning against the wall, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up straight and saluted, "Master!" The voice of the exit was low and tactful, not as old as her countenance, but very young.

"Qianhua, what is it? I can't wait for the shadow guard to pass the word, come to me in person! ”

The woman bowed her head, "Master, yesterday we secretly arrested the assassin six years ago, and this morning we interrogated some information, and my subordinates feel that we must tell you in person!" ”

Mu Lingkong looked solemn, "You say! ”

"The assassin said that the rebellion of Wuliang Mountain six years ago was instructed by Meng Huai'an, the prime minister of Nanyue, and he successfully retreated after the assassination, but was killed by Meng Huai'an. Master, what should I do now? ”

Mu Lingkong put his right hand behind his back, turned back and forth twice, and finally said to Qianhua, "Let's execute it on the spot!" Then you rejoin the search for the Poison Fairy. ”

"Yes!"

After Qianhua left, she silently returned to the clean room, tidied up her clothes, and returned to the private room.
