Chapter 186: Playing Monkey
The door of the elegant chamber knocked hurriedly, and then Chu Mubai pushed open the door and walked in, with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, something is abnormal." ”
Yuehua stood up and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" Did Lu San find it? ”
Chu Mubai couldn't take a breath, shook his head and replied: "For the time being, Lu San's whereabouts have not been found, but three lame beggars have died in the city. ”
"Ahh Yuehua became more and more surprised: "How can this be? ”
"Several of them had just been killed, a step ahead of us."
Mo Guhan's face sank, accumulating storms, dark clouds overwhelmed the realm, and the twilight was heavy.
"Someone wants to kill people."
This matter is obvious, not sooner or later, just when Chu Mubai was looking for Lu San all over the city, these lame beggars were killed, and someone must have been secretly looking for Lu San's whereabouts, wanting to kill people before Chu Mubai.
And it is obvious that Lu San is very important to them, so they would rather indulge in vain, and would rather kill by mistake than let go of any suspicious person. That's why so many innocent people died in vain.
What secrets did Lu San have in their possession that made them wantonly kill people? The destruction of General Chu's tomb was related to this incident? Where is Lu San now?
Mo Guhan once sent people to search for his whereabouts in the capital, but there has been no news, he suddenly appeared in the capital, if he knew that he was in danger, why didn't he take the initiative to seek asylum from the government?
Mo Guhan's face became heavier and heavier, and his thin lips pursed: "Who leaked the news?" How would they know that the person we were looking for was Lu San? How can they get ahead of you and get rid of it so neatly? Their power in the capital can be seen. ”
Chu Mubai also groaned slightly: "Could it be that there are traitors among our people?" ”
Mo Guhan's eyes flickered, and he sneered: "Originally, it was just a coincidence, so I wanted to find out the murderer who destroyed General Chu's mausoleum, but I didn't expect to alarm the other party, and I didn't hesitate to expose my own power, but also kill people, it can be seen that this matter is not trivial."
We searched and arrested on a large scale, and martial law was imposed all over the city, so it was naturally easy for the news to leak and be informed by the other party. blame me for being too light on the enemy and not being thoughtful enough, so that the other party has an opportunity.
Chu Mubai, from now on, closely search Lu San's whereabouts, expand the scope of the search, be sure to keep a living mouth, and find out what happened in the maple forest that day. ”
Chu Mubai was full of chagrin and gave up his orders, Mo Guhan continued to command: "The other party has killed so many people, and they must also leave some clues, and they will not stop looking for Lu San's whereabouts, you will hand over these cases to the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin to investigate and solve the case together, and try to find clues to the other party." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Mubai responded to the order, turned around and went downstairs, and immediately got on the horse outside the door and left.
Mo Guhan turned around and smiled bitterly: "I said that I came out to accompany you to relax, but I encountered such a beautiful thing again." ”
Yuehua shook his head: "Yuehua is very glad to leave the palace today, and even more fortunate that she met the emperor and took Yuehua's affairs to heart." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, seeing that it was not early and could not continue to stay, so they went out and returned to the palace, waiting for the news of Chu Mubai and Shao Ziqing.
Yuehua's departure from the palace naturally couldn't be hidden from the people in the palace, so Mo Guhan ordered the Qingqiu Palace to be opened three days later, lifting Yuehua's grounding.
Trapped in Qingqiu Palace, it was really boring, but the ban was lifted, and there was nowhere to go.
The whole palace, walking around, are those pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, flower corridors, even though the imperial garden is now competing for beauty, opening is open, turn to a day, you will be tired of seeing.
The people in the palace had no scenery to enjoy, so they naturally put their minds on the competition in front of Mo Guhan, and they were all dressed up more dazzling than those purple and red spring flowers.
When I met in the imperial garden, I couldn't help but ridicule or compliment each other, and let out my sulkness by stepping on others.
And Yuehua lifted the grounding, so naturally she couldn't continue to be in a corner of peace, and when she got up in the morning, she went to ask the Queen Mother for peace according to the rules of the past.
After a battle, Yuehua was safe and sound, and the Queen Mother did not get the slightest bargain, so she was even more annoyed with Yuehua, looking at her horizontally and vertically.
Concubine Ling escaped safely in fear, and Mo Guhan no longer mentioned the plague in Qingqiu Palace, so he began to be arrogant again, and saw Yuehua speaking harshly, and reverted to his old state.
Only Yajieyu and Huaien saw Yuehua come in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Concubine Ling snorted disdainfully, and muttered quietly: "The grass on the wall is poured on both sides." It's a pity that people just treat you like a dog. ”
This statement is clearly ridiculing Yajieyu, Yajieyu's face is blue and red for a while, as if she has opened a paint shop, a little embarrassed.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is not as harmonious as before.
Yuehua had no intention of mixing the grievances between the two, so she just pretended not to hear it.
The Queen Mother secretly glared at Concubine Ling, and when she turned to face Yuehua, a rare smile faintly appeared on her face.
"Why didn't your cousin Chang Lingyan come with you?"
Yuehua was stunned for a moment: "Morning and dusk are the rules for us to be concubines, Ling Yan just entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager, she asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, it is more appropriate after breakfast." ”
"It turns out that the queen thinks so too," Concubine Ling teased in a weird way: "I thought the rules from the Hou Mansion were different." ”
Yuehua was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.
Huai En on the side whispered: "Chang Lingyan got up the morning before yesterday and came over to say hello to the Queen Mother." ”
Yuehua couldn't help but be stunned, which one is Chang Lingyan singing?
"What is Lan Jieyu doing in secret? People don't feel embarrassed, swaggering, do you still feel embarrassed for others? This person has not yet married into the palace, so he learned this rule first, but he doesn't know which rule it is. Just waiting for the queen to answer our questions. ”
Yuehua smiled indifferently: "There are no such rules in the Hou Mansion, that is the rules in the palace." Concubine Ling was so curious, why didn't she ask the Queen Mother for advice? ”
"The Empress Dowager has been very busy lately, although she doesn't care about the queen mother, but she has twelve points of care for Miss Chang Lingyan. I heard that yesterday's light dance skirt and shirt, the pearl gem head and face made more than ten sets in the internal affairs office, all kinds of silk and satin, dazzling. And, ah, I specially invited the head of the top singing and dancing sect in the music workshop to teach carefully, and strive to become a blockbuster one day, and steal the limelight from the queen mother in one fell swoop. ”
It is no secret that Yuehua and Lian and Chang Lingyan are not on good terms, so Concubine Ling's words are full of provocation.
Whenever someone mentioned Chang Lingyan in front of her, she always couldn't be indifferent and smiled.
Yuehua's speech also became sharp: "Then Concubine Ling also has to work harder, after all, looking at the entire harem, only Concubine Ling has excellent dancing skills, stunning, and omniscient, and is deeply appreciated by the emperor." If one day, if you are compared to Ling Yan, won't it be useless? ”
"You ......" Concubine Ling stood up violently, and reluctantly suppressed her anger: "I'm naturally not afraid, the positions of the left and right concubines are vacant for several times, and I am not afraid that people will take them, but unfortunately the queen's position is in jeopardy." ”
"Concubine Ling means to remind the palace that you need to take more concubines for the emperor?"
Concubine Ling was speechless, the Queen Mother smiled coldly, and took over the conversation: "It would be good if the queen had such a measure, and the concubines in the palace would be blessed." ”
Yuehua didn't want Mo Guhan to be in a dilemma between herself and the Queen Mother, so she couldn't for tat with the Queen Mother's ridicule like she did with Concubine Ling. only smiled gently, pretending not to care.
A palace man came in lightly and said to the concubines and the queen mother: "Queen Mother, Miss Ling Yan came to greet you, and she waited outside the palace." ”
Concubine Ling hooked her lips sneeringly: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, if you really can't read it." It's also really cheeky and indomitable. I was ridiculed the day before yesterday, and if it was me, I wanted to walk around the Ruian Palace, and my face was going to be on fire. ”
For Chang Lingyan, Yajieyu was also mean: "If it weren't for that, how could you sharpen your head and squeeze into the palace?" Is this to please the Queen Mother or to take the opportunity to meet the emperor? ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Yuehua proudly, and said to the palace man with a smile: "Tell Miss Lingyan that the queen mother said that she is a palace maid, and it is a little unruly to come to the mourning family early in the morning to ask for peace, please respect herself and know what her identity is." Go back, the Queen Mother, and you still want her to serve her. ”
It turned out that the Queen Mother dug a pit early in the morning and waited for herself here. When Chang Lingyan hit the wall, she returned to Ci'an Palace in a gloomy manner, and parroted her tongue one by one, then she Chu Yuehua was not a person inside and outside in front of the Empress Dowager.
The palace people took the order and withdrew, but after a while, they came back: "Empress Dowager Qi, Miss Ling Yan said that she came to greet you today on the order of the Empress Dowager." ”
What a big flag!
Concubine Ling wished that she could take the opportunity to entertain her, and after a while, she also embarrassed Yuehua a little, and stretched her neck to look out: "It's also lively to have a monkey playing, and I'm panicking." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and the palace people were ordered to withdraw, and when they heard the ring, they knew that it was Chang Lingyan who came in.
She got the Empress Dowager* for a few days, and her arrogance was somewhat restrained, and she removed her head full of gold and silver beads, washed off the fat powder and ointment, and saw that she was much more prosperous than when she was in the Hou Mansion.
Gracefully approached, and bowed to the Queen Mother, her voice so sweet that honey almost oozing.
The Queen Mother naturally looked down on Chang Lingyan even more, raised her chin slightly, and motioned to flatten: "I didn't know that Miss Lingyan would come, there is no place for you here, so I can only wronged you to stand and talk." ”
These words were a pun, Yuehua felt ashamed when she heard it, but Chang Lingyan didn't care at all.
"Where is Ling Yan's seat in front of the Queen Mother? Ling Yan just stood still. ”
"But you're here, and the Queen Mother still has to look up at you, isn't it too tiring?" Concubine Ling on the side sneered and said, "It's better for you to half-squat down, like a monkey, to show your respect for the Queen Mother." ”
