Chapter 550: She was the palace maid of the former empress

"Uncle Zhao?" Li Mo knocked on the door, "Uncle Zhao, is it okay for you to open the door, I'll explain to you."

Inside, quietly.

"Uncle Zhao?" Li Mo whispered, "I know that you don't want to mention these things again, but Uncle Zhao, the matter has come to this point, it's not that you don't want to say it, you don't have to say more, it's about the first queen, the court has begun to investigate, if there is no result, I'm afraid we won't end up with a benefit."

Mu Qifang also followed to persuade him, "Uncle Zhao, this matter must be investigated, there is already movement in Jinling City, which means that the eldest princess has begun to investigate this matter thoroughly, if we find out here, we will also die!"

The husband and wife glanced at each other, quite helpless.

"Uncle Zhao?" Li Mo whispered, "Can you open the door?"

Inside, there is no movement.

"Uncle Zhao?" Mu Qifang sighed, "The first queen is the biological mother of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's temperament is well known, and she will definitely not give up easily.

Li Mo pursed her lips, "I know that Uncle Zhao is afraid that after he says it, it will affect the two of us, but the current situation is that even if you don't say it, the two of us will have nowhere to run, and we will have to implicate the Li family and the rest of the Mu family at that time." Uncle Zhao, the people of the imperial court already know!"

The door squeaked open.

Zhao Gongnian stood in the door of the room and looked at the two thoughtfully, "He is from the imperial court?"

"Yes!" At first, Li Mo didn't want to explain Qi Yue's identity, but now, obviously, he can't, "People from Jinling City, people from the imperial court, people from the princess's mansion."

Zhao Gongnian's face was difficult to see in an instant.

"Uncle Zhao." Li Mo said again, "Let's talk about it?"

Zhao Gongnian hesitated.

"Uncle Zhao, everyone is coming, if you don't say it, you can't do it." Mu Qi's face was solemn, "The eldest princess will not let us go, unless she tells the truth...... Maybe there's a glimmer of life."

Qi Yue stepped forward at the right time, "Uncle Zhao, I am solely responsible for this matter, all my words are limited to this, no fifth person will know, this is the only guarantee I can give."

Zhao Gongnian stared at him intently, "Can you guarantee it?"

"The first pavilion master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, Qi Yue." He tepidly spat out his name, "Is this amount enough?"

Mu Qifang was stunned and froze on the spot, "Thousand Machine Pavilion?"

"Qi Yue?" Li Mo seems to have heard of this name.

After all, no one in the world knows about the eldest princess's ups and downs, especially the famous and former prince of the Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion in the backyard, Qi Yue, which is enough to make people talk endlessly.

"The prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong?" Zhao Gongnian was stunned, "It's you?"

This kid looks a little delicate, but he can't be regarded as unparalleled, how can Baili Chang'an be ......

Qi Yue slowly lifted the fake skin on his face, revealing his originally handsome face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and cold eyes, "This sincerity, can it be done?"

"Come in!" Zhao Gongnian stepped aside.

The three of them quickly entered the room and worked around the table.

"I know, sooner or later, I'm going to show my stuff." Zhao Gongnian smiled bitterly, "But I didn't expect that in such a situation, seeing that half of my body was about to fall into the ground, I still couldn't escape this catastrophe. I'm not afraid of death, I'm at this age, and I don't know how many days I can live, but these juniors ......."

Zhao Gongnian looked at Li Mo and Mu Qifang, his face full of reluctance.

"Before he died, the adjutant told me to watch you well, I can't live up to his last wishes, right?" Zhao Gongnian pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, turned around and went to a corner of the house, poured a pot of wine, and leaned against the wooden pillar to drink two sips.

The old man, with a face full of folds, by this time, his eyes have long been gone, his face is full of scruffs, and his head of white hair represents the passing of his years.

"That year, I joined the army, and I joined the command of Adjutant General Li, and then I was born and died." Zhao Gongnian seemed to have returned to the past, but he seemed to be even more sad, "If it wasn't for that battle being calculated, your father...... No

With such a serious injury, then we should still be at the border. Those who march in the army should be at the border in life, and protect the country in death."

Unfortunately, I can't go back.

"Uncle Zhao, what was written in the letter from the first empress?" Li Mo asked in a low voice.

Coming back to his senses, Zhao Gongnian took another sip of wine, "I haven't seen that letter, but I heard your father mention it, it's a name, what is the name of Ying Niang...... It was also she and the Gu family who went to the border to find the deputy general."

"Have you seen that?" Qi Yue asked.

Zhao Gongnian nodded, "I saw it, but it was only a glance, it was the deputy general who handled it personally, and the battle hadn't started yet!" I took over this after the Admiral-sama left!"

"In other words, before the ambush among you, they went to the border to find Vice General Li." Qi Yue figured out the trick inside, "Vice General Li agreed, but it didn't take long for something to happen at the border pass?"

Zhao Gongnian took a sip of wine, "Yes, I suspected that there was something wrong in the army, and subconsciously thought that it might be someone from the Gu family, but the deputy general felt that Taifu was an upright person, and he was definitely not such a person."

Who can say whether it is or not?

"What does Ying Niang look like, do you remember?" Qi Yue asked.

Zhao Gongnian shook his head, "I don't remember, after so many years, who remembers?" I just saw that this woman was a little good, different from ordinary women, and I heard the adjutant general say that this woman spoke in a set way, without leakage, which was quite powerful."

"Ying Niang......" Qi Yue vaguely seemed to remember something, "There is a scar on the back of her hand?"

Zhao Gongnian was stunned, "I've seen it once, how do you know?" You...... Recognize?"

"The slave maid next to the first queen is a woman named Ying Niang, after the first queen left, she asked for orders to go to the imperial tomb to guard the spirit of the first queen for three years, and then disappeared." Qi Yue remembered Ying Niang.

Always keep a straight face and follow the first queen.

So much so that when Baili Chang'an saw her, he was a little jealous and didn't dare to be presumptuous...... That was the second person besides the first queen who made her dare not be wanton.

"The first queen?" Li Mohu said suspiciously, "At that time, the first queen went, didn't she take the letter of the first queen and wanted to get out of the customs by herself?"

Mu Qifang shook his head, "If she wants to get out of the customs by herself, she can invite the first emperor, after all, there is a relationship with the first queen, and it is not difficult to let a palace maid leave Dazhao, why leave Jinling City quietly and find the Gu family?" If it's just to send her out of the customs, why would the Gu family make such a fuss?"

Li Mo opened her mouth, stunned and unable to answer.
