It is true that it is not uncommon for aunts and nephews to be palace concubines, and many concubines will choose women of appropriate age in the family to help them in order to stabilize their status in the palace.

But Mu Guifei is already the first person under the queen, and there are two generals of the Mu family, one old and one young, as backers, does she still need a niece to help her fix her favor?

And her niece actually admired the emperor behind her back, and did such things.

"Lan'er, if you do this, how will your aunt deal with herself and face you in the future?"

Mu Lan saw that they almost recognized what Pei'er said, her mind was blank, and she desperately said "I didn't", but she was only weak to defend at all.

At this moment, someone from the palace outside said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Mu asks to see you."

Mu Lan's eyes lit up.

Her mother is coming!

The emperor frowned, "Let her in."

Mrs. Mu walked in cautiously and greeted her meticulously.

Li Qingyi saw stiffness and panic in her.

Mrs. Mu's words were earnest, and her tone was urgent, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Lan'er has a pure mind, how could she do such a thing as murdering the palace concubine and dragon heir, there must be something strange about this matter, please ask the emperor to investigate and return Lan'er's innocence."

Li Qingyi only investigated the case until Linglong, and then Pei'er came out to confess her guilt, and pointed out that her master Mu Lan was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Mu Lan didn't admit it, and the emperor hadn't opened his mouth yet, so there was still room for argument in this matter.

Li Qingyi stood in the corner with her eyes down, looking at her nose and nose, and looking at her heart, what happened next, how to judge the crime, it was not up to her.

Mu Guifei listened to Mrs. Mu's words, and the doubts and shocks when she faced Mu Lan had disappeared, and were replaced by a meaningful look, "In the end, Lan'er didn't grow up next to this palace, and this palace naturally doesn't know much about her, but it's a pity that Ying'er, who has been pampered by this palace for more than ten years, has died, I thought that Lan'er could accompany this palace instead of her, but it's a pity ......."

When Mrs. Mu heard this, the roots of her teeth trembled, and when she looked at Mu Guifei, there was a fear that could not be described in words.

Maybe others couldn't understand the meaning of Mu Guifei's words, but Li Qingyi knew the inside story and naturally understood the meaning of these words.

Mu Guifei wanted to say.

This palace handed over Ying'er to you, but you failed to take care of her and let her die without a place to bury. also wanted Mu Lan to get many benefits from the palace instead of her. Do you think that if you give your son to Hongu, you can be disrespectful to Hongu? His heart can be punished! Today's events are the lessons that this palace has taught you!

Mrs. Mu's face turned pale.

She naturally knew the meaning of Mu Guifei's words.

Her son became the son of Mu Guifei, and he is likely to be a great treasure in the future, but at the same time of all the glory, she feels resentful, because she will always be a mother who cannot see the light.

The person who is honored as the Queen Mother can only be Mu Guifei, not her.

There was nowhere to vent this grievance, which made her disgust with Mu Ying increase day by day, but she didn't dare to show it.

Mu Ying was rude and willful and caused trouble all day long, she didn't bother to care at all, so she used "doting" to cover up.

She gave all the good things to Mu Ying, but she didn't give her "maternal love".

A child who lacks maternal love has a natural lack of temperament, and it is her nature to do all kinds of things to attract her mother's attention.

Mrs. Mu knew that this was the case, but she turned a blind eye, so that Mu Ying's temperament became worse and worse, and even distorted.

A girl with a distorted cognition, encountering the four princes who became crazy under the weight of fear, the two redeemed each other, until they were out of control....

However, in addition to the two parties to this "exchange", there is another person who has been overlooked.

This person is Mu Lan.

Mu Lan is only one year older than Mu Ying, although Mrs. Mu loves her more, but from childhood to adulthood, all the good things are Mu Ying's.

Such a complex "preference" is incomprehensible to a young child.

What she sees with her eyes, her ears

What Duo hears is the truth.

Even if her mother spends more time with her, her sister will always be the most spoiled candidate, and it will be her turn to do what the other party doesn't want.

Such a divided love has never given Mu Lan a sense of security.

Until Mu Ying died, the grievances in Mu Lan's body that had been precipitated and condensed for many years suddenly changed, and became a pleasant and happy thing, and became the motivation for her to chase those "unobtainable".

She didn't know that Mu Ying was Mu Guifei's biological daughter, and she only wanted to replace Mu Ying and become a "new favorite".

However, such a move is simply a joke in the eyes of Mu Guifei, who has just lost her biological daughter.

Therefore, she borrowed the matter of a good nobleman and set a trap for Mu Lan, planning to teach the mother and daughter a lesson!

Li Qingyi looked at Mrs. Mu and Mu Lan, who were supporting each other and were full of sorrow, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After going through the case from beginning to end, she came to a conclusion.

A good and noble person is simply self-inflicted and cannot live.

Originally, Mu Guifei didn't take her seriously, but she heard out somewhere that she looked like Ruying, and she was always suspicious after she became pregnant, worried that someone would harm her, especially Mu Guifei, who everyone dared not offend.

So she played a clever trick and asked the people of Qin Tianjian to make a fortune for herself, planning to go out of the palace to avoid trouble.

But as a concubine, she naturally couldn't go out of the palace at will, so she went to ask the queen.

Such a move is tantamount to surrendering to the queen.

Who is Mu Guifei, her eyeliner is all over the harem of the court and the opposition, how can this little trick of a good nobleman hide her?

Hearing this, Mu Guifei was furious, a small insect actually dared to come/scratch the itch of the tiger.

After thinking about it, she deliberately talked about the inadequacy of the good nobles in front of Mu Lan.

Mu Lan was anxious to replace Mu Ying, so she secretly kept this matter in mind.

She carefully investigated everything around the good nobleman, learned about Yu Gongzi, and then bought Linglong, and let her implement her plan.

That's right, the way to kill the good nobles was thought up by Mu Lan.

That's why she showed that look when she saw the corpse of a good nobleman.

She knew that Jade Comb would kill the good nobles under the guidance of Linglong, but she didn't know that the good nobles would die so miserably.

But it doesn't matter.

What Mu Lan cares about is that she has done things so perfectly and seamlessly, she will definitely be praised and rewarded by Mu Guifei.

However, she never imagined that Pei'er would expose all this in front of others, and then be misunderstood that she had a heart for the emperor!

She couldn't have imagined that Pei'er had already been pinched in her hands by Mu Guifei, just waiting for today's attack!

Li Qingyi stood in the corner, looking at the changing faces of Mu Guifei, Mrs. Mu and Mu Ying, and her mood was indescribable.

How complex can the human heart be?

Mu Lan almost collapsed, she walked to her mother's knees, and cried, "Mother, I'...... I don't have ......."

Her justification is always only three words: "I don't have it".

Can she say that she doesn't love the emperor, but only to show herself, to please Mu Guifei to kill good nobles?

It's ridiculous.

If you say it, it is better to say that she loves the emperor and is credible.

Mrs. Mu's eyes were red, she looked at Mu Guifei, and pleaded weakly: "Niangniang, Lan'er, she never has that kind of mind......

Mu Guifei looked at the mother and daughter condescendingly, enjoying the pleasure of revenge.

Sometimes it's torture to live compared to death.

She has not had the taste of being restless day and night.

But in the future, this kind of taste will only be given to others by her.

After being silent for a long time, Mu Guifei finally had enough of their embarrassment and turned her face to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lan'er has never been such a noisy child, maybe Pei'er's girl was bought by others, and it may be possible to deliberately frame Lan'er, but Pei'er hit the pillar and died, and there is no proof of death, you see......

"That's it!" The emperor lifted his eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Mu and Mu Lan, and said coldly: "Pei'er has a personal grudge with the good noble, and she bribed Linglong to kill the good noble, and Linglong borrowed a knife to kill people, which eventually led to the death of both mother and son of the good nobleman, and the crime is unforgivable. All those involved in this case will be punished by Ling Chi! Dispose of it now!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what he meant.

The conclusion that Pei'er had a personal grudge with a good nobleman and bought Linglong to commit murder was also completely expected by Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng.

Doesn't the emperor know what the Mu family's ghosts are doing?

But now the Mu family can't be moved.

Therefore, Mu Guifei is always favored.

Her will can override almost everyone except the emperor and queen.

Besides, this matter is the Mu family's own people tossing their own people, just look at the excitement, why bother to be serious.

Perhaps, the only people who can't take this matter seriously are Mrs. Mu and Mu Ying's mother and daughter.

Ling Chi's punishment.

Hearing these four words, cold sweat broke out on Mu Lan's forehead, and her face turned pale, as if she also had a share of Ling Chi's punishment.

Mrs. Mu hugged her tightly, and the mother and daughter barely maintained their manners, and verbally thanked the emperor and Mu Guifei.

However, Mu Guifei would not let this matter be easily revealed.

She glanced deeply at Mrs. Mu and said, "Actually, Lan'er, this child is smart and careful, and this palace likes it very much, so let her stay in Kunji Palace to accompany this palace, so that I don't miss Ying'er too much."

Mrs. Mu took a deep breath.

Mu Guifei is trying to catch her daughter in her hands.

But can she not agree?

"Yes......"

Mu Lan's whole person trembled like a leaf in the wind, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Mu Guifei.

Mu Guifei looked at her with pity, and said to the palace people around her, "Come on, take Lan'er down to rest."

"Yes, sis."

The two palace maids set up Mu Lan one on the left and one on the right, almost snatching the person from Mrs. Mu's arms, Mu Lan wanted to break free, but he didn't dare to say half a word of disobedience.

Mrs. Mu's head was buzzing, and she opened her mouth several times to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.

Mu Guifei lowered her eyes and got up, "Your Majesty, the concubines are lacking, can you step down now?"

The emperor waved his hand at her, "Go back."

Concubine Mu bowed and retired, and when she passed by Mrs. Mu, she didn't even look at her.

Her eyes were on Li Qingyi.

"This palace has something to say to Miss Li, Miss Li won't refuse this palace, right?"

Li Qingyi knew that there would be such a thing, but he still chuckled in his heart.

Although she did not say the final answer, the matter was like lice on the bald head, and it was clear.

Since you have been touched, there is no reason to treat it as if it never happened.

She curtsied, "The courtiers don't dare."

Mu Guifei hooked her lips and smiled, raised her feet and walked out.

Li Qingyi followed behind her and glanced at Qin Zeng before going out, but Qin Zeng didn't give her any hints.
