Chapter 40: The End
"Your Majesty, the so-called groundless wind may not be without cause. Your Majesty is better to investigate thoroughly. Hu Yanjue also had a preconceived idea that Qin Chongzhou was having an affair with Mu Wan'er, but he didn't expect that these were designed by Mu Wan'er.
At this time, Qin Chongzhou spoke up: "Your Majesty, Weichen is loyal to Your Majesty, and has no selfish relationship with Concubine De, I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and return Weichen to a clean slate." ”
"Your Majesty, speaking of Concubine De, Weichen recently heard a rumor that Concubine De was no longer a virgin before entering the palace. A few days ago, a man claimed to be in love with Concubine De in the market, but another man also jumped out and said that he had been with Concubine De. Both of them swore that they were still ...... also said the birthmark on the mother's body. ”
The person who spoke was the new Jingling Castle Castle Yin Lin Haishang.
This is Qin Zhi's ghost idea. The best way to deal with rumors is not to suppress them, but to overshadow them with more eye-catching rumors. Originally, Qin Chongzhou was still thinking about how to bring this matter to the surface, but he didn't expect Hu Yanjue to do a favor. This Lin Haishang is actually Qin Chongzhou's person, since Mu Qingzhi was promoted, Qin Chongzhou has found his own person to take the position of Jingling City Yin.
The turn of events was unexpected.
Mu Qingzhi hurriedly came out and shouted wronged. Originally, the rumors of Mu Wan'er and Qin Chongzhou, he was still a little unsure whether it was true or not, but of course he could be sure that other things were not true.
Things have come to this point, and Zhao Chengxi has no other way: "Then investigate thoroughly." Mu Aiqing will avoid suspicion in this case, and Yin Lin Aiqing will try it in Jingling City. ”
"Wechen obeys."
Things are going well. Lin Haishang acted vigorously and arrested the two men for interrogation. There are no loopholes in the testimony of the two, they both said that they had a good relationship with Mu Wan'er before Mu Wan'er entered the palace, and the location of the birthmark was correct, and they even took out a letter with Mu Wan'er.
The birthmark of the daughter's family is naturally obscure, and it is not easy to reveal to others, only the close maid and grandmother of her own family know. But if money can make the devil grind, how can he not inquire about this matter. It's even easier to imitate handwriting.
Immediately afterwards, the grandmother who had a physical examination in the palace recruited her, saying that she had accepted Mu Wan'er's silver, so she concealed her non-virgin status.
In the end, Xiao Tao went to prison, and before she could be tortured, she was so frightened that she did all the tricks. Mu Wan'er has been in unrequited love with Hou Ye for a long time, but she didn't get a response, so she fabricated rumors to satisfy her selfish desires.
There are both human and material evidence.
Zhao Chengxi stared at Lin Haishang's performance in her hand in a trance, she believed Qin Chongzhou, but she never expected that this rumor actually came out of Mu Wan'er's mouth. Is it really lovesick and crazy? But since this Mu Wan'er loves Qin Chongzhou so much, how can she be with other people, she doesn't look like such a watery Yang Hua person.
Xiao Lianzi saw Zhao Chengxi's strange appearance, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”
Zhao Chengxi said his doubts.
Xiao Lianzi now hates Mu Wan'er so much, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, you are just too kind, how can someone like her use common sense to infer it?" This person has all the evidence, and she can't resist it. ”
Zhao Chengxi felt a little guilty about Mu Wan'er in her heart, if it weren't for her whim to meet the first beauty in Jingling City, I am afraid that she would not have come to this field.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with that Mu Wan'er?"
Zhao Chengxi pondered for a moment before he said, "Let's enter the cold palace." ”
"Your Majesty, it's not too much to punish the Nine Clans together for these crimes, so you let her go?" Xiao Lianzi was indignant.
"So be it. Let Mama Yue not embarrass her. Zhao Chengxi never couldn't be ruthless.
Xiao Lianzi didn't dare to say much when he saw this.
Mu Qing's heart knows Mu Wan'er's heart, although it is clear that the fact that she had an affair with two men before entering the palace is false, but spreading rumors that she has a relationship with the protector of the country, this should be the truth. Mu Qingzhi, who has been in the officialdom for decades, actually guessed a few points, this is probably someone secretly manipulating. Who is behind this, he doesn't dare to delve into it. This matter is indeed Mu Wan'er's fault first, but now that the evidence is conclusive, and I heard that Zhao Chengxi did not take Mu Wan'er's life, I didn't dare to shout injustice anymore.
Hu Yanjue, who learned of this result, was so angry that he couldn't do it.
He originally thought that Qin Chongzhou and Mu Wan'er really had a personal relationship, so he thought about making this matter clear, forcing Zhao Chengxi to dispose of Qin Chongzhou. Unexpectedly, he helped Qin Chongzhou clear his name, it can be said that stealing chickens and rice is not successful, can he not be angry?
Mu Wan'er's life in the cold palace was not good, without the maidservant, she couldn't even eat three meals. But she didn't care, as if waiting for something.
This night, Mu Wan'er was just about to rest, but suddenly noticed that the candle flame flickered a few times, and she was a little expectant: "Come out." ”
When she saw the people coming out of the shadows, the look of expectation turned into disappointment: "Why are you, Master Hou?" ”
"Master Hou doesn't want to see you." The person who came was actually Qin Xu.
When Mu Wan'er heard this, she smiled sadly: "I've been waiting for the Hou Ye to send me on my last journey, but unfortunately I can't get my wish......"
Qin Xu was a little surprised: "Do you know that Master Hou will kill you?" ”
"Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. I understand this truth, how could the powerful Hou Ye let me go. But I have long thought that today, although the Hou Ye can't please me, he will always remember me...... Hehe......"
The faint flame of the candle flickered, and finally slowly extinguished, and the room was silent.
It's a pity that one glance is wrong for life; A thought destroys his body, which is a pity.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a sentence, people must first insult themselves and then others insult them.
Early the next morning, Mama Yue had just gotten up to freshen up, and a palace man walked into the house and whispered a few words beside Mama Yue.
Mama Yue wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said, "Quietly let people bury it, don't leak the news." ”
The tone was flat, as if it was as ordinary as asking the palace people to sweep the floor.
Another day.
"Your Majesty, the troupe is ready, do you want to move to Changchun Garden?" Xiao Lianzi entered the hall and greeted Zhao Chengxi.
"Hasn't the Protector come yet?" Zhao Chengxi put down the fold in his hand and asked.
"Master Hou just sent a message saying that there was a disturbance in the military camp in the south of the city, so I will enter the palace later, do you want to go to Changchun Garden first?"
"Alright, I'll go first."
Zhao Chengxi just came out of the imperial study, and the little eunuch led a slightly tall person over, the sunlight was slightly dazzling, Zhao Chengxi didn't see it clearly, the name appeared in his heart, the smile on his face was not fully blooming, and it cracked and shattered in the next second.
"The Third Prince?" Zhao Chengxi was slightly disappointed.
"Xiao Wang sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty seems to be disappointed when you see Xiao Wang?" Hu Yanjue's face was still the usual spring breeze pride.
"The third prince laughed, I don't know what happened to the third prince today? It's almost the Chinese New Year, could it be that you are here to resign? "This Hu Yanjue has been staying in Tanglin for almost two months, and he hasn't left yet, it's about to be the New Year, which is really an eyesore.
