Seeing that the situation was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, the eunuch who delivered the food hurriedly put down the copper pot, quietly slipped out, and rushed all the way to the Qinzheng Palace.

When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, he panted and told Feng Bao, Feng Bao was not good at first hearing it, and he entered the hall with small steps, and came to a side door to stop.

He lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, the slave has something important to report." ”

Behind this side door is a secret room, Mu Chengzhou has to go in every once in a while to stay for a few hours, Feng Bao doesn't know what he is doing inside, let alone what is inside, who told the emperor never let people set foot here, so he was cautious about the temptation.

At this time, Mu Chengzhou sat in front of the two tablets, held three pillars of incense in his hand, bowed three times, and inserted it into the incense burner.

Looking for his gaze, the tablet he worshiped was the spiritual seat of Concubine Zhuang. Mu Chengzhou stared at the tablet, paused, and kowtowed a few more times.

He stood up and walked to the second tablet.

The size of this tablet is much smaller than that of Concubine Zhuang, and when I got closer, I saw that there were a few words engraved on it in gold-plated font: unfilial son Mu Chengzhou.

Mu Chengzhou picked up the tablet, picked up a square handkerchief and wiped it, then frowned, stared at the words on it, and slowly put it back in place.

Feng Bao waited for a long time without replying, leaning against the door to listen to the movement inside, and suddenly the door opened, which frightened him and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave didn't mean to eavesdrop!" The slave has something important to report! ”

Mu Chengzhou looked down at him, "If there is a fart, let it go." ”

Feng Bao heard that the emperor's mood was not very happy, and he thought about not saying anything, but after thinking about it, Concubine Yu was the person who the emperor wanted to support, in case the maidservant under her hand really made a mistake, she would have to complain about the emperor, and the emperor would also be angry with him.

Because a small loss is not worth it, he said: "Something happened to Yihuan Palace." ”

Mu Chengzhou's eyebrows twisted.

On the other side, the atmosphere in Yihuan Palace has been low to freezing.

The enemy is outnumbered, Yang Leyu has already been up and down in her heart, but she can't show half of the intention of retreating, once she retreats, what can Gan Tang do? Dong Ji will ruin her life.

Dong Ji: "I don't have the patience to spend any more time with you, the king of thieves, so I'll do as I say, and cut off her hands and feet now!" ”

Xiao Huan presented a sharp sword.

Yang Leyu saw that they really wanted to move their real character, and they couldn't bear it anymore: "Whoever dares to touch Gantang today will cut me first!" ”

Dong Jipi smiled and didn't smile: "What do you think is difficult to cut you?" The law is like a mountain, don't say that you are a concubine, even if the prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people! ”

Gan Tang couldn't cry, "Don't take care of the slave and maid, the slave and maid are already satisfied with serving the concubine, take care of the concubine, don't hurt yourself!" ”

Yang Leyu's eyes were red anxiously, and when the waiter raised her sword in front of Gan Tang, she rushed forward with an arrow step and held the blade with her bare hands.

The blade was sharp, and sticky blood ran down the fingers. Yang Leyu gasped in pain, "Stop...... Hand! ”

Xiao Huan glared and said, "You dare not listen to Taiji's orders?" Hack! ”

"What a big show!"

The applause suddenly sounded, and when he raised his eyes, Mu Chengzhou stared at Dong Ji coldly.

Dong Ji was stunned, and when she reacted, she hurriedly reprimanded the attendant, and knelt on the ground with Xiao Huan: "I don't know Your Majesty's holy drive, I have lost my welcome!" ”

"What are you kneeling for?" Mu Chengzhou raised his lips: "You are also my concubine in name, and you are still pregnant with my imperial brother, how can you kneel to me?" ”

Dong Ji couldn't tell his joy and anger, and still didn't dare to get up.

Yang Leyu took the opportunity to help Gan Tang up, not caring about the wound in his palm.

Mu Chengzhou frowned, took her hand to check, and said coldly: "Who hurt Concubine Yu?" ”

In order to clear his responsibility, Xiao Huan simply pointed to the waiter: "It's him!" He hurt the concubine! ”

Yang Leyu said in his heart that their master and servant are really the same heart, and even the ability to shout and catch thieves has inherited the essence.

Mu Chengzhou glanced at the waiter, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and the sword fell with a "clang".

Mu Chengzhou snorted softly from his nasal cavity, "Hit." ”

Feng Bao immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty will reward thirty boards!" Still not grateful? ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. The waiter was carried out with a stream of urine, and only the sound of howling was heard.

Mu Chengzhou tore off his bright yellow coat and tied it to Yang Leyu's palm. Yang Leyu refused: "This bright yellow can only be worn by His Majesty, I can't afford it." ”

"Don't move." Mu Chengzhou's tone of command made Yang Leyu dare not act rashly, and he asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”

Yang Leyu shook his head.

Mu Chengzhou looked at the master and servant over there with cold eyes, "What happened to make the palace restless?" ”

Dong Ji was the villain who sued first, adding fuel and vinegar to how Fang Cai Gantang stole it, but did not say a word about the crime he committed, and then hid his face and cried, pretending to be a weak woman.

Xiao Huan echoed: "Your Majesty is aware of everything, my mother was indeed bullied by the concubine, and there is no place to complain!" ”

Mu Chengzhou turned his head and asked Yang Leyu: "Really?" ”

Yang Leyu still shook his head, "My lamb was stolen by them, and now it is lying in the copper pot." ”

Mu Chengzhou's eyebrows deepened, "Mrs. Dong, it seems that I really underestimated you, your ability to reverse black and white is really powerful." ”

Dong Ji panicked: "Your Majesty is wrong! There is no concubine! ”

Xiao Huan said helpfully: "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of the slut, she ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Chengzhou immediately waved a palm and threw it at her, and Xiao Huan's face was flushed with hot pain.

Mu Chengzhou wiped his knuckles, "I never hit women, it's just that you are really disgusting, since your mouth is not dry or clean, it is better to cut your tongue." ”

Xiao Huan's eyes widened, and before she could beg for mercy, Feng Bao dragged her out.

This time Dong Ji was scared, she didn't dare to plead when she listened to the screams outside, and she trembled her eyelashes and didn't dare to make a sound.

Yang Leyu saw that Mu Chengzhou was in a bad mood today, no wonder he sent himself back early. She didn't want these people to be hurt physically, but it was really hateful for them to be unrepentant, so why should she be angry in vain, so she didn't plead, which was also a warning.

Mu Chengzhou squinted at Dong Ji, "The lamb in Leyi Palace was rewarded by me, did you instruct your subordinates to steal and slaughter?" Think about it and then answer. ”

Dong Ji curled up on the ground and didn't dare to raise her eyes, she knew the fate of stealing the royal gifts, at least she would enter the cold palace, and at worst she would connect the whole clan.

He said: "The concubine doesn't know that it was rewarded by His Majesty, and I don't know that it is a gift from the Emperor, Your Majesty knows it!" ”

Yang Leyu guessed that she didn't know the truth, otherwise she wouldn't dare to steal the lamb even if she ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall. Since Mu Chengzhou has given Xiao Huan a heavy punishment, presumably Dong Ji is also frightened, and she is pregnant, although she doesn't know whether it's true or not, she can't make a fuss in the end.

Thinking so, she was about to intercede for Dong Ji, and the eunuch who was standing on the side interjected: "Back to Your Majesty, when the slave maid was preparing the mutton copper pot, she saw with her own eyes that it was the sheep that Miss Xiaohuan came to give, and the slave asked her the source of the lamb, and she said that it was the royal sheep raised by Concubine Yu, and she gave Dong Taiji to eat it just to replenish her body.

The slave maid heard that Dong Taiji had a strong temperament and did not dare to disobey, so she did it without doubt. ”

He uncovered the already cold copper pot and showed it to Mu Chengzhou, "Your Majesty, please see, this is exactly those lambs." ”
