Chapter 82: The Truth
In the heavy rain, Mu Wanning hugged Mu Qi's body, without any emotional fluctuations, just took off her coat and covered his face, as if to block the wind and rain for him.
Luo Qingzhi looked at Mu Wanning, thinking that she could mobilize the Mu family army just now, and as a bystander, she finally understood why the emperor was always afraid of the border generals.
This kind of trust is not something that an emperor who is far away in the capital can do.
Mu Wanning picked up Mu Qi, faced Luo Qingzhi, and asked, "County Lord, can I go?"
"Of course."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ouyang Xun hurriedly pleaded, "Your Highness, the lower officials are all for the stability of Ningzhou."
Luo Qingzhi clapped her hands, and Feng Zinan flew down from the eaves with a hat, holding a curved bow in her hand.
"My lord, when you return to Beijing, you can speak slowly."
The wind controlled Ouyang Xun from the south, and Luo Qingzhi opened her umbrella and prepared to go to Mufu.
"Why do you doubt me?" Ouyang asked.
Luo Qingzhi didn't turn around, and said lightly: "I checked your information, as the champion, I just asked to be transferred to this remote Ningzhou, but you are not from Ningzhou...... You either came to Ningzhou because someone assigned you, or Ningzhou had what you wanted."
"So." Luo Qingzhi turned around and asked, "My lord, why did you come to Ningzhou?"
Ouyang Xun didn't speak, and turned his face away.
Luo Qingzhi said: "I'm not in a hurry, it's half a month's journey back to Beijing, you think slowly, after returning to Beijing..... If you try to speak, no one will listen to you."
Feng Zinan said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, you take care of him." After Luo Qingzhi finished speaking, she walked down the steps with an umbrella.
"Wei Baoshan's assassination was not arranged by us." Ouyang Xun said loudly.
Luo Qingzhi said, "I know, you never wanted to kill me."
In the wooden mansion, Gao Zhen sat on the steps of the gate, looking into the distance.
Luo Qingzhi came slowly, Gao Zhen smiled, rushed into the rain, and came to Luo Qingzhi's umbrella.
The umbrella surface is not big, one person is enough, and the two people are a little reluctant, Gao Zhen took the umbrella handle, held the umbrella, and tilted the umbrella surface to Luo Qingzhi.
"I've found the wind." Gao Zhen said happily.
Luo Qingzhi smiled, "I've suffered."
Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi's hand, came to the door of Mufu, put away the umbrella, and wiped the raindrops on her face with his dry hand sleeves.
"Ah Luo, the matter of Wei Baoshan ......" Gao Zhen observed Luo Qingzhi's expression, obviously looking clear, he exhaled, and still chose to say, "It was the concubine who ordered it."
Luo Qingzhi asked, "I don't know when I angered Concubine Shu."
Gao Zhen shook her head, "The mother concubine said that she has never had a grudge against you, just because, because you are Luo Qingzhi......
"And what do you think now?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen took her hand and said sincerely, "My answer will always be you."
Luo Qingzhi said, "She is your mother."
Gao Zhen let go of the hand he was holding, and Luo Qingzhi's heart trembled, but she didn't try to keep it.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Your mother wants to kill me, and it is impossible for me not to resist."
"I know." Gao Zhen said softly.
"I want to meet your mother." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen nodded, "Okay, I'll talk."
"Ahem—ahem!"
Luo Qingzhi looked to the right, and Mu Wanning walked out.
"Sorry to bother you."
Luo Qingzhi said, "No interruption, eldest lady, please speak."
Mu Wanning knelt down and saluted, and Luo Qingzhi immediately helped her, "Why is this?"
"Ask the county lord to keep my Mu family."
Luo Qingzhi helped Mu Wanning up, "Miss Mu, the Mu family has made a contribution to protecting the border, Your Majesty will not blame you for this, I will leave for Jinling in the near future, you prepare a presentation form, and I will present it to Your Majesty."
"Okay, county lord, what will happen to my Mu family?" Mu Wanning asked.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "Such a crime is not something I can convict, go back to Beijing and wait for Your Majesty to decide."
"County Lord, can you listen to me?"
Along with the human voice comes the sound of a wheelchair.
Luo Qingzhi turned her head, and Zhixin pushed Mu Chengqian over.
Mu Wanning saw Mu Chengqian, her eyes turned red, and she called softly, "Father."
Mu Chengqian let out a "h
"Come in and say, don't get rainy." Luo Qingzhi said.
The group came to the study, and Mu Wanning wiped the water stains on Mu Chengqian's body with a towel.
"You guys, all go out, I just want to talk to the county lord alone."
When Mu Chengqian said this, Mu Wanning's hand wiping the water stains trembled, and Mu Chengqian comforted, "Go out, what's the matter, Father is on top."
Several people exited the room, Mu Chengqian knelt down with difficulty, and Luo Qingzhi immediately helped him, "General, you don't have to do this."
"Rites, don't be wasted." Mu Chengqian said.
Luo Qingzhi let go of her hand and waited for Mu Chengqian to finish her salute and help her back into the wheelchair.
Mu Chengqian adjusted his breathing and said, "County Lord, all the blame for the Mu Mansion comes from me, please don't blame the children."
Luo Qingzhi wanted to speak, but Mu Chengqian raised his hand, "Please listen to me."
Mu Chengqian sighed and continued, "A-Ning, it's not my own birth."
Luo Qingzhi was stunned, she originally thought that the reason why Mu Qi would do this was because it was not the Mu family, so she had to master the Mu family army as soon as possible.
"Mu Qi, this is the blood of my Mu family."
Luo Qingzhi asked, "Does Mu Qi know?"
Mu Chengqian said: "He always knew, and it was he who proposed to release the news that he was not the biological son of the Mu family."
Luo Qingzhi asked, "Why does it have to be Mu Wanning?"
Mu Chengqian sighed deeply, and after a long while, he said, "A-Ning has strategy, courage, and even more rarely, compassion. It's a very good handsome talent."
Luo Qingzhi thought about the painting, which was a Changchun monk, painting a landscape, "Did anyone really drug you?"
Mu Chengqian nodded, "I was really poisoned, but it was also voluntary."
"I don't understand." Luo Qingzhi asked, "What is it that forced you to do this?"
"It seems that you really don't know anything." Mu Chengqian said, "I thought that you came to Ningzhou because of that incident."
Luo Qingzhi was even more confused, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Mu Chengqian said lightly: "Everything has to start from five years ago, no, it's already the beginning of the year, it should be the Battle of Pengcheng six years ago."
Luo Qingzhi was confused, but she was also patient, waiting for Mu Chengqian's answer.
"That year, when the army of Pugan pressed the border, I asked Jinling for help, and I wanted to borrow the military horses from Jiangzhou, but His Majesty asked the Pingbei army to come to help." Mu Chengqian paused, "However, as soon as the Pingbei Army entered, the Bagan Army withdrew, and at that time you had already fallen into a coma, almost in danger, Your Majesty suspects that it was our Mu family that framed you."
"So, you poison yourself." Luo Qingzhi said.
Mu Chengqian nodded, "At the beginning, I poisoned myself, wanting to make Your Majesty believe in me and the Mu family...... However, in recent years, I have really been drugged."
Luo Qingzhi asked, "That painting was left by the person who drugged it?"
"Yes." Mu Chengqian nodded, "That night, I had already fallen asleep, and then he forcibly fed me medicine, leaving this painting."
"Do you think I came to Ningzhou to investigate the matter of Pengcheng?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Mu Chengqian nodded.
"I didn't know anything about it, don't say I was in a coma at the time, and even if I woke up later, no one would mention it to me." Luo Qingzhi explained.
Mu Chengqian said: "In the year when I was still sober, I sent someone to check the events of that year, in fact, Your Majesty did not guess wrong, there is indeed someone secretly colluding with the Bagan army, and that person's hand is also true
It's really going to the wooden house."
Luo Qingzhi frowned, thinking to herself, "Six years ago, I was only twenty years old, why would I attract someone else's murder."
"Who is the connector of the Mu family?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Mu Chengqian was silent.
"You want to make a deal with me." Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically.
"I want you to keep the Mu family." Mu Chengqian said.
Luo Qingzhi smiled, "Are you embarrassing me? Just Mu Qi mobilized the border army privately, this one thing is the crime of extermination, not to mention, Mu Wanning also borrowed his identity to go to the battlefield."
「...... County Lord, the old man has never asked anyone for ...... in his life."
Mu Chengqian said, and was about to kneel down again, but Luo Qingzhi immediately stopped, "Mu family loyalty, I understand, I only ask one thing."
"You say."
"What's the matter with that new son-in-law?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"I'll tell you." Mu Wanning pushed the door open.
Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen not far from the door, he smiled and said with his mouth, "I'm here."
The door was slammed shut again.
Mu Wanning said, "I really want to marry Yang Lang, but he ..... but they don't love me."
Luo Qingzhi thought of the unattractive groom official, and she was really puzzled.
Mu Wanning continued to explain, "On the wedding day, Yang Lang went to the study, looking for something, and was bumped into by the second brother, and the second brother pushed him, and his head hit the wood, but he didn't die at that time, he just fainted, and later, I went out with the second brother to discuss things, and when he came back, he had already drowned in the pool."
"The note?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"The note was indeed written by the second brother." Mu Wanning said.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "So, you have no choice but to choose one person to come out and take on everything."
"I see." Luo Qingzhi sighed, "A game within a game, so, that night, Ouyang Xun went to him and said that's what he meant."
Luo Qingzhi thought of something, suddenly rushed out of the room, and said to Gao Zhen, "Quick, go back, Ouyang Xun wants to escape."
Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi and rode a fast horse back to the state capital, but as a result, it is now a mess.
"The wind comes from the south."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly panicked, felt that something was wrong, and came to the cell.
The smell of blood from the pavement.
"The wind comes from the south, the wind comes from the south."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the corpses on the ground, and it was not until the end that she found the bloody Feng Zinan.
"Zhixin! Erlang, go find Zhixin."
Gao Zhen immediately turned around, Luo Qingzhi hugged Feng Zinan, touched his snort, and breathed.
"Anan, wake up."
Feng Zinan barely opened his eyes slightly, and said weakly, "Run, run, run."
"It's okay, it's okay, just run away...... Luo Qingzhi said lightly.
