Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tooth Burning Card

"When the Queen Mother sent out the Feng Guard, I guessed that I was going to embarrass you." Mu Qinghong knelt down and opened the food box, which was filled with freshly baked fried chicken and hot milk tea.

smiled and said, "I was afraid that you would be offended, so I brought you something delicious." ”

Yang Leyu almost cried when she smelled the fragrance of the fried chicken, "Sure enough, it's my good brother, I haven't eaten enough, give it to me!" ”

Mu Qinghong handed her a chicken thigh, but it was taken away by the dirty old man.

"What are you doing?!" Mu Qinghong said.

Yang Leyu: "Don't be angry, the old man hasn't eaten a serious meal here for a long time, just let it be for him." ”

The dirty old man squeezed out a smile at her and concentrated on nibbling on the chicken legs.

Mu Qinghong said: "Xiao Yu'er, you have been wronged here. I'll find out the killer and get you clear. ”

Yang Leyu pondered for a moment: "This murderer must hate me deeply, and it is very likely that he is the same person who pushed me yesterday." ”

Mu Qinghong leaned over: "That's right, I think so too, but not long after you entered the palace, you haven't had a grudge against anyone, who wants to harm you?" ”

Yang Leyu couldn't think of it, so far only Dong Ji and the Queen Mother had a deep grudge against her, and the rest of them were very good.

Mu Qinghong boldly guessed: "Could it be your friend?" ”

"Friends? Who are you referring to? Yang Leyu couldn't comprehend what he was hiding.

Mu Qinghong paused, but still said: "Female Officer Wu." ”

Yang Leyu was secretly shocked for a while, and laughed loudly: "Can you really guess, how can it be Buyue?" I have a deep relationship with her, and I grew up wearing a pair of pants, so I know her best. ”

Mu Qinghong saw that she didn't doubt the man's thoughts, so he didn't mention it again.

Yang Leyu: "I think maybe the Queen Mother directed and acted in this play in order to bring me down." ”

Chapter 48

Yang Leyu regretted saying what she guessed just now, even though the queen mother was very bad in her eyes, but after all, she was Mu Qinghong's mother, and she should never have said that.

Mu Qinghong did not show displeasure, which made Yang Leyu feel a lot relieved.

"Concubine! Toffee! Gan Tang's voice came from the cell opposite. In order to prevent the master and servant from conspiring to escape from prison, Nie Qing specially separated them.

Yang Leyu beckoned to her, "Gantang, don't eat those dumplings." She looked at Mu Qinghong: "Can you give the fried chicken to my maidservant?" ”

Mu Qinghong happily agreed and handed it to her.

Gan Tang nibbled on the chicken wings and said: "The slave maid remembered something, Shanhai told the slave maid that there was a figure in the courtyard last night. The slave thought that he was dazzled at night, but he didn't care, but now he thinks that the person is the murderer. ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "The concubine is clever, even the palace maids around her are smart, and she really uses her brain faster after eating chicken wings." ”

Gan Tang was teased by him and turned his back shyly.

Yang Leyu said: "According to what Gan Tang said, that person must be very familiar with the layout in my palace, otherwise he can't easily turn in, and find a place to bury the body in a short time." ”

Mu Qinghong: "If Xiao Yu'er suspects that the queen mother did it, I can keep an eye on it for you." ”

Yang Leyu's eyes lit up: "But she is your ......"

Mu Qinghong nodded lightly, "It's okay, you believe me." ”

Yang Leyu was very grateful to him, so she handed over the matter to him and waited quietly for the result.

After Mu Qinghong came out of the dungeon, he went straight to the Queen Mother's Buddhist hall, but met an uninvited guest there-

Wu Buyue knelt in front of the queen mother's futon, as if asking for something.

Mu Qinghou quietly stopped at the side of the door and did not disturb the two.

I only heard the queen mother say: "It's okay for you to say what you think." ”

Wu Buyue said: "Queen Mother, the minister thought that it was not Concubine Yu who killed Mrs. Dong, but ....." She was stunned for a moment and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty." ”

Mu Qinghong's eyes flashed with shock.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, and her tone became majestic, "As the emperor's courtier, you dare to doubt the emperor?" ”

Wu Buyue: "The Queen Mother is angry, and the minister and Concubine Yu are close, so I know a little about her and Your Majesty." Concubine Yu is young, and everything is not important, and His Majesty's care for her has become a shackle, which has attracted the jealousy and trouble of Mrs. Dong, so the ministers speculated that His Majesty killed Mrs. Dong in order to appease Concubine Yu. ”

The Empress Dowager stared at her, "Then why did the emperor bury the body in Leyi Palace?" ”

Wu Buyue: "The minister is also suspicious of this, but after thinking about it, he figured out that it can be explained." If His Majesty's strangulation of Dong Taiji is known, it will not be beneficial to the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and Concubine Yu is worried about His Majesty, perhaps she proposed to be buried in her own palace and intended to bear the charge. ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time, and bowed her head silently, "What's your name?" ”

Wu Buyue raised her eyes, "The minister's cheap name is not enough to worry about, and the queen mother and nobles have forgotten it, so don't remember it." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, "Very good, you are a courageous female official." It's just that what are you saying to the mourners? ”

Wu Buyue: "The minister dared to speculate that the Queen Mother did not want Her Majesty to sit on the dragon chair for a long time. ”

Mu Qinghong's eyebrows tightened.

The queen mother twisted the Buddha beads, and neither recognized nor denied her words, "Today you came to visit the mourning family, and the mourning family is very happy." Since the emperor asked the mourners to copy the scriptures day and night, there have been no more guests. The mourning family wants to reward you with something, you can tell me. ”

Wu Buyue smiled slightly: "Then ask the Queen Mother to reward her ministers with a tooth-burning card." ”

The tooth card has always been handed over to the lord of the palace for safekeeping, which is more noble than the ordinary tooth card, and can enter and exit the palace at will without being blocked, and can also control the power of life and death of the palace people, which is what ordinary people want to get most in the palace.

The Queen Mother stroked the Baochai in front of her forehead, "What a big appetite, how do you know that the mourning family will give it to you?" ”

Wu Buyue kowtowed, "The minister prides himself on being a smart person, and he may be able to solve problems for the Queen Mother in the future." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her for a long time, and said slowly: "Nie Qing, go and get the Mourning Family's Tooth Card." ”

Nie Qing frowned, "But ......"

Wu Buyue looked at her, "There is no 'but' in doing things for the Queen Mother." ”

Nie Qing glared at her secretly and turned to go.

The Empress Dowager looked at her with interest, "You are not similar to Concubine Yu's temperament. ”

Wu Buyue: "Concubine Yu recognizes a door, but the minister knows to follow the trend. ”

After finishing speaking, he got a tooth card and walked out of the Buddhist hall with his back.

Mu Qinghong heard that someone inside was about to come out, pretending to have just arrived at the door, and called her.

"Did Lady Wu come to say hello to the Queen Mother?"

Wu Buyue saluted, "Langya waits." ”

Mu Qinghong took the opportunity to scan her waist, and there was no tooth burning card.

Wu Buyue noticed his gaze, "What do you want Langya Hou to order?" ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "I saw the royal brother wearing a pair of cashmere gloves a few days ago, which was very warm. Dare to ask if Lady Wu can make a pair for me? ”

Wu Buyue: "The cashmere is taken from the sheep, but the owner of the sheep is Concubine Yu. Langya Hou can manage Concubine Yu. After a pause, he said, "If she still has a chance to get out of prison." ”
