Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lamb Is All Right

Mu Chengzhou looked at Dong Ji awe-inspiringly, "You still dare to quibble, even he admits it, what else do you have to say!" ”

Dong Jihua's face was pale, and she trembled with fear: "How dare the concubine deceive Your Majesty!" The concubine did instruct her subordinates to steal the lamb, but she really didn't know the source of the mutton, if she knew that it was given by Your Majesty, the concubine would not dare to do it, Your Majesty! ”

Yang Leyu looked at the eunuch who delivered the meal suspiciously, he lowered his head to see the real expression, and it was difficult to tell who was lying for a while.

Mu Chengzhou pinched the bridge of his nose impatiently, "I am tired today, and I don't want to talk to you anymore." Feng Bao, passing on my will, Dong Taiji, the lord of Yihuan Palace, despised the imperial things, deceived the monarch and concealed it, remembering that he was pregnant with the dragon heir and did not chase the death penalty, and only sealed the palace as a cold palace, and was no longer allowed to eat meat. ”

Dong Ji's face was as pale as snow, her lips were broken and she shivered, and she couldn't say a word.

Mu Chengzhou twisted Yang Leyu's hand and said softly: "Is the concubine satisfied?" ”

Yang Leyu pursed her lips and nodded.

Mu Chengzhou: "It doesn't matter if the lamb is gone, I will ask people to go to the people to find cute ones to send to you another day." He paused: "Happy New Year's Day." ”

Yang Leyu felt that something was wrong with him today, but he couldn't say why, in short, his back looked extremely depressed, not as arbitrary as in the past, and his heart actually sank.

She came back to her senses and shouted to the royal man who had already gotten up in the sedan chair: "Happy New Year's Day!" ”

After a while, Mu Chengzhou opened the curtain and looked at her, smiled lightly, and left.

On New Year's Day, Dong Ji was so troubled that Yang Leyu wanted to leave this place quickly, so he called Shang Gantang to go back to Leyi Palace along the road.

At this moment, it is night, and the palace lanterns are reflected in the snow with colored glass, which has a sense of quiet and joyful beauty. The two of them walked on these colorful lights, and suddenly one of them jumped out.

The man faced them, his back on his knees, startling them.

Gan Tang looked at it and said in surprise: "Huh? Isn't this the father-in-law who delivers food? ”

Yang Leyu cautiously asked: "What is the request of my father-in-law to follow us?" ”

There was no one from the Snow Sweeping Palace in the long corridor, and everyone gathered together for the New Year, so Yang Leyu was worried about her safety, in case this person wanted to harm them, there was not even a witness to the scene.

The eunuch who delivered the meal looked up at Yang Leyu, "The slave maid doesn't dare to have any entrustment to the concubine Niangniang, the slave maid is cheap and famous, thanks to the mother's refusal to give up, accept the slave maid!" ”

Yang Leyu wondered: "How do you say this?" ”

Shanhai said: "The eunuch who delivers food in the slave maid's imperial dining room should not have accosted the mother with a low status, but the slave maid has to see Mrs. Dong every day, she is more selective about meals, and she is used to looking down on us eunuchs, so she whips the slave and maid if she doesn't like her." ”

He lifted his sleeves, and his thin arms were covered with whip marks.

Yang Leyu was shocked, Dong Ji is a two-faced person, she does everything possible to curry favor with Mu Chengzhou, but she is so vicious to her subordinates. No wonder Shanhai wanted to help him expose Dong Ji just now.

She hurriedly helped Shanhai to get up, "My father-in-law has suffered, I don't know what I can help my father-in-law?" ”

"The slave and maid lied and begged the mother for protection!" Shan Hai cried and appealed: "Miss Xiaohuan did send a few lambs to the slave maid to cook at dusk today, but the slave maid has been working in the imperial dining room for ten years, and just by touching the lamb wool, she knows that it is not raised and slaughtered by ordinary people, so she never believed her, and the mutton copper pot that she gave to Yihuan Palace was not made of those sheep." ”

It turned out that the lamb was safe and sound!

Yang Leyu was happy and uneasy in her heart, "So is my father-in-law afraid that Dong Ji will retaliate after finding out about this?" ”

The mountains and seas bowed their heads and knelt down again: "The slave and maid are alive in the palace, and they are only willing to serve Your Majesty and beg the slave to take pity on the slave!" ”

Yang Leyu recalled Dong Ji and Xiao Huan's ruthless methods to cut off Gan Tang's hands and feet just now, if Shanhai's lies were exposed, Dong Ji would definitely torture him to death.

She lifted the mountain and sea, "Father-in-law, don't worry, you helped me today, how can I treat my father-in-law badly?" ”

She turned to Gan Tang and said, "Let's live in the hut on the south side of the mountain." ”

Shanhai was grateful, and shook out a few granular things from his cuffs and held them to Yang Leyu.

Gan Tang took a look through the palace lamp, this is the spice in the dark wooden box of Yihuan Palace!

Yang Leyu: "Where did my father-in-law come from?" ”

Shanhai: "The slaves and maids have to go to Yihuan Palace every day, and they have long been suspicious of Mrs. Dong's spice box, and they may be able to help Niangniang while their master and servant are away." ”

Yang Leyu sniffed lightly, feeling that this incense was the same as the one burning in Mu Chengzhou's bedroom on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, so he ordered Gan Tang to send it to Tai Hospital for investigation the next day.

.

Early the next morning, the little sheep in the yard bleated and woke up Yang Leyu. She used to hate this, but after the experience of loss and recovery, she felt that it was a kind of happiness, and put on a fox fur and went out to see the little ones.

Shan Hai is trimming the wool and putting the soft white wool in baskets.

Yang Leyu plans to ask Wu Buyue to take the wool to make some clothes and costumes later. It's appropriate to make a scarf yourself, and you don't have a scumbag neck; Mu Chengzhou had a lot of trouble with the stove every day, so he made a glove for him......

Wait a minute! What do you want him to do!?

Yang Leyu reacted and secretly scolded herself for being stupid. It is not an exaggeration for Mu Chengzhou, a rebel, to freeze him to death, his head was kicked by a donkey, and he actually cared about him!

"Concubine! The spice matter has come to fruition! ”

Gan Tang went to the Tai Hospital early in the morning, and at this moment he trotted back, and said after he had even his breath: "Doctor Lu from the Tai Hospital said that His Majesty also gave him the spice to test two days ago, and he judged that it was indeed the same kind. ”

Shanhai: "What kind of incense is it used for?" ”

Gan Tang swallowed for a moment, "The fragrance of joy." ”

Yang Leyu was shocked, Dong Ji actually used such a subordinate means to compete for favor. Although she has watched many TV dramas that have been staged in the drama of fascinating for favor, she doesn't want to encounter it herself.

Gan Tang said: "Doctor Lu said that this incense also has the effect of making the mind swell and drowsy, it seems that the slave maid was also hit by this incense yesterday, and suddenly felt sleepy, causing Xiao Huan to steal the lamb." ”

Yang Leyu was puzzled, Dong Ji was pregnant with the first emperor and dragon heir, how could she have sex while pregnant? And what did she mean by trying to seduce Mu Chengzhou several times?

Shanhai said: "If the concubine is suspicious of Dong Taiji's pregnancy, the slave can investigate." ”

Shanhai has served in the palace for many years, and there are some connections among the inner servants. If he can investigate secretly and get conclusive evidence at that time, Dong Ji will not be able to escape the involvement.

Yang Leyu agreed to his request, calculated the time, and was not in a hurry to accompany the rebel for the time being, so he had time to visit Wu Buyue to take a look.

She held the freshly sheared wool and went to the Shangyi prison first.

After a busy Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the female officials and embroidered ladies of Shangyi Prison were finally able to rest, and Wu Buyue was considerate of them and gave them leave early, so there was no one in the prison, and they were very clean.

Yang Leyu came to the side of the room, and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly became naughty, wanting to scare her, so she kicked the door open with a "bang"-

Wu Buyue panicked, hurriedly stuffed a black thing into the wardrobe under his hand, and then turned around and smiled: "Xiao Yu'er, why are you here?" ”
