Everyone in the hall was silent, no one dared to intervene, and Mo Guhan in the rage made people involuntarily silent.

The guard secretly looked up and glanced at Yuehua as if he were asking for help.

People in the palace say that the queen is kind and generous, and the emperor loves the queen very much, and almost obeys her words.

In the end, it was Yuehua who persuaded him: "Shi Yunhai is a person who studies medicine, so he naturally has a lot of strange skills to seek death, even if you are on guard, you will be negligent after all." What's more, since he has the intention of seeking death, even if he tortures to extract a confession, he will not confess calmly. ”

Yuehua was in front of her to persuade her, and the guards in the hall all looked at her gratefully. They all felt that at this moment, in the Forbidden City, where human life was like a mustard, Yuehua was for them the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved suffering.

Sure enough, with Yuehua's persuasion, Mo Guhan, who was furious, was like a kitten that was slowly smoothed out, and the fried hair was ironed down little by little, and his anger gradually subsided.

"Get out!"

The guards crawled out of the hall as if they were amnesty, and immediately fled.

Mo Guhan waved his hand helplessly: "Send this person to the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother see and dispose of it." ”

The guards responded to the order, dragged the eunuch up, and sent him to the Ruian Palace.

The Queen Mother has been swearing to pat her chest to pack tickets for Concubine Ling, saying that she will not be the one who poisoned Yuehua, Mo Guhan's move is tantamount to forcing the Queen Mother to admit defeat in front of him. It seems that this time he is bound to win, and he has to be more serious about presiding over justice for Yuehua.

The banquet continued, and Mo Guhan was a little sullen.

However, after a meal, there was a eunuch outside who spread the word in his voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

Several people hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground to greet the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stepped into the hall, glanced at a few people coldly, and went straight to the point: "The emperor said, what are you going to do with this matter?" ”

Mo Guhan said indifferently: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, so it is naturally punished in accordance with the laws of Chang'an." ”

"Well, since the emperor said so, the mourning family is not polite. Shicai, the mourning family has summoned Hancui's girl for interrogation, and the human and material evidence are there, so naturally she can't deny it, she has confessed, it is indeed she who bought the eunuch and intended to kill Shi Yunhai.

As the head of the first palace, the mourning family naturally couldn't tolerate them as traitors, so they immediately sent the two of them to be killed by the cane of Shen Xing to set an example. However, the mourning family has also investigated, and it is someone else who poisoned the queen and plotted against her, not Ling'er, so this matter has nothing to do with Ling'er. ”

This is a clear statement of lying with an open eye, and deliberately partiality.

Not to mention the original incident of Concubine Ling exposing Hedinghong, Shi Yunhai's confession has many loopholes, just relying on Hancui's murder and extermination, it is enough to prove that this matter cannot escape from Concubine Ling.

The queen mother had no evidence, she pushed it clean with a word, and directly killed the eunuch and Hancui staff, and there was no proof of death.

"Then according to the results of the mother's investigation, who is the person who poisoned it?" Mo Guhan had a vague look of displeasure, and forced himself to suppress his anger: "Has the queen mother forgotten that he just found Heding Red from Shi Yunhai's bookcase mezzanine today?" The stolen goods were all seized, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive. ”

"As the so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, as soon as Shi Yunhai had an accident, he immediately fell into the well, and there were many people who added to his crimes. Crane top red is not a rare poison, so it is not enough to rely on. ”

"That's a coincidence." Mo Guhan snorted coldly: "It's unbelievably clever." ”

Now that the Queen Mother is at a loss, she is no longer as domineering as before, and she speaks to Mo Guhan, and her tone is much kinder.

"The mourning family has interrogated, and the embroidery threads that were poisoned were all handled by the eunuchs on Thursday, and now that he has no proof, it is not easy for Ling'er to clear his name. But if the poison was really caused by Ling'er, she didn't have to make up such a stupid excuse to expose the matter, she would be easily overturned and criticized, and there were many doubts in it! ”

Mo Guhan didn't care at all about the Queen Mother's explanation: "These doubts, the Queen Mother should ask Concubine Ling, she can explain to you." Here, I only have her accumulated evidence of guilt. Could it be that the queen mother didn't interrogate what Hancui's motive was for killing Shi Yunhai? What exactly are you trying to hide? ”

Han Cui has confessed calmly, saying that Shi Yunhai often goes in and out of the Jiaofang Palace, and has an unsavory personal relationship with her on weekdays. She was afraid that Shi Yunhai would not be able to bear it in case she confessed to the relationship between the two, so she was poisoned and had nothing to do with Ling'er. ”

"Such a lame excuse for the queen mother to believe it? There is so much conclusive evidence here, but the queen mother chooses to ignore it. ”

The Queen Mother was angry for a while: "The emperor decided that the murderer was Ling'er, so the queen mother's words couldn't be listened to at all, right?" ”

"If the queen mother has evidence, the child will be convinced. But if it's an excuse, that's all. ”

The queen mother was so angry that she wanted to leave with her sleeves up, but for the sake of Concubine Ling, she still pressed her anger again and again: "The emperor wants evidence of the crime, and the queen mother will find it for you, but the mourning family will not believe it, and everyone in the palace will not find any clues!" Can that man really hide seamlessly? ”

Mo Guhan was tepid: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Then you wait!" Sooner or later, the mourning family will find evidence to clear their grievances. ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked away angrily.

Shao Ziqing sighed leisurely: "Your Majesty, you just admit defeat." ”

Mo Guhan was stunned: "Why should I admit defeat?" ”

"Quite simply, never reason with a woman, especially your own mother and wife."

"It's not reasoning, it's discerning right from wrong."

"If I am the queen mother, the stupidest way is to keep investigating, and a delaying plan will be delayed for three and five years, and then I will give up. Of course, the other methods are much smarter. ”

Mo Guhan has always been silent, he is indeed very helpless about his mother. She has raised herself for more than 20 years, and she is responsible for all the affairs of the palace, and she has never interfered. Now for Yuehua, he wants to seek justice in person, but he finds that it is difficult.

Seeing that he was frustrated, Yuehua was the most empathetic, and comforted: "Don't talk about the Queen Mother, in fact, I have always felt that there are still a lot of doubts. It's good that the queen mother is willing to get to the bottom of it, otherwise if someone else is really using Concubine Ling, wouldn't it be at large? After all, Concubine Ling is the queen mother's niece, even if she is really wrong, can the emperor really ask her to take her life according to the palace rules? ”

"Why not?"

Yuehua sighed: "Because the law is nothing more than human affection, not to mention, this is just our family matter, how can we also leave a face for the Shen family?" ”

"Then I will return Concubine Ling to the Shen family, and let the Shen family adjust and teach it themselves, I can't accommodate it here!"

What Mo Guhan said was not angry, he had already made up his mind, and he would definitely not give up on this matter. If the Queen Mother insisted on wanting nothing and protecting Concubine Ling, he would take a step back, drive Concubine Ling out of the palace, and go back to her Shen family.

In the end, the banquet broke up unhappily, and Chu Mubai had been worried.

He saw all this matter in his eyes, and his heart was full of joys and sorrows. The good thing is that Mo Guhan is now a real love for Yuehua, and he has nothing to worry about. The worry is that the palace is deceitful, Yuehua is lonely, can she fight against this treacherous wave by herself?

He returned to the house worriedly, Zijin had not rested, and boiled hot soup in advance and waited for him to come back to drink to warm up.

Zijin was originally roaming the rivers and lakes, thick and leafy, and she was not this kind of delicate-minded woman. But now, little by little, it is changing for him, permeating every bit of his life, and he can perceive it.

Last time in front of the Xiangshen Tomb, Yuehua persuaded him bitterly, and the meaning of the words was to persuade him to cherish Zijin.

He once wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and directly singled out everything and said to Zijin, hoping that she would not be obsessed with the wrong payment and end up sad. But Yuehua's words made him hesitate, and this hesitation was two or three months.

He thought about it all the way, struggled all the way, and still hadn't made up his mind until he entered the door.

Do you let her go or stay?

Zijin greeted him with a smile, his face full of joy: "You're back?" ”

She still had a needle and thread in her hand, and the clothes she had changed before entering the palace were left on the table.

Chu Mubai nodded.

"I made the soup, you wait for me to serve it to you."

"No need!" Chu Mubai hurriedly stopped.

"I stewed for more than an hour, although the craftsmanship is not very good, but the advantage is that the ingredients are very fresh."

"I'm full."

Zijin was a little disappointed, but soon the wind calmed down: "Then wait for me to practice well, and then I will make a splash in front of you." ”

Chu Mubai swallowed the words later: "What are you doing?" ”

Zijin hid his clothes behind him in a panic: "Don't look, I made it ugly, crumpled, and just half of it was removed." ”

"What did you do when you dismantled it?" Chu Mubai smiled.

Zijin's face was a little red: "It's a little too embarrassing to wear it out like this, I overestimated my craftsmanship, I used to see the queen's flying needle so light, and in my own hands, the thin needle is not as obedient as my purple gold knife." ”

Chu Mubai stretched out his hand: "Let me see." ”

Zijin hid back. He shook his head in a hurry: "No, you will laugh at me." ”

Chu Mubai reached out to grab it, and wrapped Zijin into his arms with both arms.

Zijin first noticed a trace of ambiguity, his body stiffened, and his face became hot.

Chu Mubai instantly felt that he was too abrupt and reckless, and was stunned for a moment.

His heavy breathing was on top of Zijin's head, a little burning, making her feel helpless.

"I ...... I ......" Zijin stammered a little: "I know that I am not good enough, no one has been in charge before, and I don't look like a girl." Brother Mubai, I will change, I will be like the queen's mother, delicate, elegant, gentle as water, no longer stormy, clumsy. ”

Chu Mubai still maintained his original posture, but his heart was surging like a storm and became dark.
