Chapter 37: Sacrifice
Mu Xiaoxiao never thought that he would one day get along so harmoniously with his former political enemies. It seems that she can only rely on him to find out the murderer, and she searches everywhere for something that can prove her identity.
Suddenly, she thought of a question, that is, whether Xiao Qian would change his attitude after knowing his identity, and now he didn't know if there was a deep hatred between the two of them.
"Identities must be concealed! Otherwise, there will be no place to die! Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly reminded herself.
Seeing her somewhat flustered expression, Xiao Qian was puzzled, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mu Xiaoxiao drooped his head, pretending to want to sleep. Xiao Qian understood what she meant, so he gently stroked her.
"You want to rest, right? Then go to sleep, I'm not sleepy. I want to talk to you, but if you're tired, forget it. ”
Mu Xiaoxiao felt strange, how could he not even have a family member! In this era, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and he doesn't even have a warm bed. Recently, she has lived here, and she has also seen Xiao Qian's behavior in a serious way.
Speaking of family members, Mu Xiaoxiao thought of Nan Zixi, after the woman left, she was clean, but she knew Nan Zixi's temper, and she would definitely not give up.
After Xiao Qian left, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, where can she sleep, she must move around.
She quietly slipped into Xiao Qian's study, wanting to find information that might be useful to her, and if she found evidence that Xiao Qian had murdered her, then she had to plan for herself. Now she can't fight back, but she has to protect herself.
Suddenly, a pamphlet caught her attention and even became excited.
"Yes, this is the mourning thing, the mourning thing!" Mu Xiaoxiao was excited.
Her paws were inconvenient, but she still struggled to open the book.
She was distressed by how simple it was for a human being, but she couldn't do it.
At her insistence, the booklet was finally opened, and inside was her handwriting.
She has a habit of recording some of her experiences in words, sometimes from experience, sometimes from complaints.
Apart from
Why the booklet is here in Xiao Qian, Mu Xiaoxiao knows, because this booklet is with her brocade box, he must have taken it by the way.
"Really, what is he studying?" Mu Xiaoxiao was very unhappy. She also wondered how Xiao Qian, a big man, could bring her brocade box back and put it in the study.
Xiao Qian's important things were placed in the study, and the position of the brocade box proved that he had seen it more than once.
"What a shame!" Mu Xiaoxiao patted his head with his little hand, embarrassed.
Although she is a high-ranking queen mother, she is just a twenty-year-old flower girl. Every girl has a dream in her heart, and so does she.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Mu Xiaoxiao knew that Xiao Qian was back, so he quickly climbed up the window and jumped down. She felt that she couldn't trust Xiao Qian too much now, because she was defenseless before, otherwise she wouldn't have known how she would have died.
Xiao Qian pushed open the door and walked in, and Xiao Si hurriedly lit the lamp for him.
Suddenly, Xiao Qian looked at the scene in front of him and became angry.
"Who entered the study? Is it a princess? "He was very angry because he had emphasized it more than once.
Xiao Si hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, no one entered the study today, and the princess will return to the palace in the morning." ”
Xiao Qian glared at him, "You minion, you can't even do such a trivial thing, what's the use of keeping you?" ”
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" Xiao Si knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, although Xiao Qian usually wouldn't embarrass a subordinate, but he was really angry today.
"The official has long said that no one can come in the study casually, let alone touch these things. You can't even do this little thing, these things are obviously messed up, and you still beg for mercy? ”
Xiao Si knelt on the ground, "My lord, the slave has been guarding the door all the time, and I really haven't seen anyone come in." Please forgive me, the slave knows that he is wrong, and he will not dare to be negligent next time. ”
Xiao Qian looked at the slave on the ground, this is a person who has been with him for many years, and he is usually diligent in his work.
He walked over, looked at the things that were panicked, and wondered, who had sneaked into the study again and again?
There are many important secrets here, but the palace is heavily guarded, and outsiders cannot enter, but these things are obviously passive, and it seems that the person left in a hurry.
"I'll spare you this time, if there is a next time, you won't have to stay here." Xiao Qian didn't want to be so concerned with a subordinate.
"Master Xie."
Xiao Qian waved his hand, motioned for the slave to go out, and then sat down, looking at the opened brocade box, frowning.
Flipping through the booklet again, he had a different expression on his face, and he was indeed a little surprised to think that the majestic and cold Queen Mother actually liked these little things.
"My lord, Wang Yuan asks to see you!" A voice at the door interrupted Xiao Qian's musings.
He put the brocade box away, "Come in!" ”
"See your lord!" Wang Yuan hurriedly saluted.
As Xiao Qian's disciple, he has a very high status, not only a subordinate, but also a friend. Many things can only be relieved when they are handed over to him, Xiao Qian.
"Coming back? There should be news! Xiao Qian asked calmly.
He still understands Wang Yuan, and if things are not done, he will not come back.
Wang Yuan nodded, "As your lord expected, King Jing has been disturbed, some people from the court have looked for him, and some uninvited guests almost killed him. ”
"It seems that these people are really in a hurry, and now it has been arranged, right?"
"It's arranged, there won't be any more accidents, please rest assured."
"Now there is a lot of speculation in the court because of the queen mother's avoidance, although the emperor has been hiding it, but I don't know how long it can be hidden. If the news of the Queen Mother's absence in the palace comes out, then those people will definitely take extreme measures. ”
Usually in the imperial court, Xiao Qian looks calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, he is still worried in his heart.
Wang Yuan was also a little worried, "My lord, then what should we do next, can we only passively wait for the opportunity like this?" ”
Xiao Qian nodded, "Now it's only like this, if you take the initiative, you may be more passive." You pay close attention to the situation outside and must be careful, if you don't handle it well, it may make the situation more serious. ”
"I understand it below!"
"You've worked hard, so go back first!"
"Yes!"
After Wang Yuan retired, Xiao Qian fell into deep thought, and it was impossible for him to turn a deaf ear to the current situation. As far as Nan Jinyan's ability is concerned, he can't turn the tide.
