Li Qingyi knelt in the inner hall of Kunji Palace, and the smell of Su Hexiang slowly emanated from the incense burner of the Rui Beast Cloud Pattern, making her mind more and more clear.

The palace people served a bowl of snow-winged porridge, and Mu Guifei slowly ate half a bowl with her hand, and rinsed her mouth again before her eyes fell on Li Qingyi's body.

"You have done a great job in the affairs of good and noble people."

Great work.

Could it be that he helped her achieve the purpose of punishing the mother and daughter?

Li Qingyi laughed in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he said in fear: "The courtiers don't dare to take credit."

Mu Guifei's eyes condensed, and her voice gradually approached, sounding above Li Qingyi's head: "This palace knows that those people in Dali Temple are the most sloppy and perfunctory, and this case is all solved by yourself, you don't need to be humble."

Li Qingyi hung his head, "The subjects of the world are willing to go to the soup for the emperor, how dare they be perfunctory, the concubine is serious. It's just that the courtiers didn't expect that the maid of Miss Mu San would trap her master in injustice because of her selfishness, and she was really an unforgivable sin."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Mu Guifei's tone was casual and slow, but Li Qingyi felt a knife-like chill from inside.

"Naturally, this is the case, the servant girl who crashed into the pillar and died obviously knew that she had no way to live, so she was willing to die, if not, how could she be so determined."

She didn't know what Mu Guifei meant by leaving her to speak alone, but she just wanted to test how much she knew.

Who wouldn't tell nonsense with their eyes open?

Li Qingyi knows the truth in her heart, but the truth contains a huge secret, and she must pretend that she doesn't know anything until the time comes.

"Naturally, this is the case, Miss Mu San is gentle and kind by nature, she is simply ignorant of the world, how could she do such a thing? It's just being dragged down by villains."

When Mu Guifei heard her answer, her demeanor was graceful, and her eyes paused for a moment.

Li Qingyi's meaning couldn't be clearer, she showed that she didn't believe that it was Mu Lan who wanted to kill the nobles, but she didn't mention Mu Lan's thoughts about the emperor.

Mu Guifei frowned and thought for a moment, then hooked her lips and smiled.

She grew up watching Mu Lan, but she didn't expect that Mu Lan would have such a scheming and go around such a big circle to harm good nobles.

If she hadn't mastered everything from the beginning, even she would have been deceived by Mu Lan's strategy.

Therefore, who knows if Mu Lan thinks about the emperor, is it a smooth sailing?

In this world, what woman doesn't want to ascend to that supreme position? If Mu Lan insisted on coming to her side, it was because she loved the emperor, which would not be unusual.

Despite this speculation, Mu Guifei still chose to keep Mu Lan by her side.

After all, Mu Lan's mind is so ingenious, he can only rest assured when he puts it under his nose.

She was distracted for a moment, and then spoke again, "Is your delicate heart like your father?"

Li Qingyi lowered her body, and her tone became more and more respectful: "The noble concubine Niangniang raised the courtier, but the courtier knew that she was just a little smart."

Mu Ying did die at her hands, but in the same way, it was not time to tear her face at this time.

If she was still in Yangzhou and didn't come to the capital, Mu Guifei would have attacked her immediately.

But not now, her second uncle has already stood by the emperor's side, and she has also stood by Qin Zeng's side.

Before you see through the doorway here, even if it is the revenge of killing a woman, even if it is Mu Guifei, you need to wait.

In other words, no matter how important her daughter is, she is not as important as the four princes, and she is not as important as herself.

Mu Guifei was silent for a long time, and said lightly, "It's not a bad thing to be smart, but you have to use it in the right place and the right person."

"Yes, the courtiers follow the teachings of the noble concubine."

Coming out of the Kunji Palace, the golden crow had fallen to the end of the sky, and a little chamberlain led her to the outside of the palace.

After staying in Dali Temple for most of the day, and kneeling in Mu Guifei's palace for half a day, she really wasted a lot of energy, and her body and mind were inevitably a little tired. So the moment she walked out of the palace gate and saw Qin Zeng's carriage, she boarded it without hesitation

Go.

Qin Zeng looked at Li Qingyi, who was lazy and tired with his eyes squinted slightly, and put his hand on his cheeks, showing a somewhat funny look, and said, "You have always been full of energy, but I didn't expect to have such a tired time."

"Dealing with people is the most tiring, especially when the other party is a human spirit, how dare you not always keep your heart and spirit?"

Qin Zeng heard her say this, and saw her extremely relaxed appearance towards herself at the moment, and his heart rose a little strangely.

He was in a trance for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "Linglong and the others have been disposed of, and the people of Dali Temple have also announced the result according to the emperor's wishes."

"They're moving very fast now." Li Qingyi remembered that when the accident happened, Cui Chun and others passed the buck to each other, and couldn't help but joke.

Qin Zengrong was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you believe that Mu Lan loves the emperor?"

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "It seems that the adults don't believe it."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the wind, and a ray of golden light of the slanting sun was thrown into the carriage, reflecting in Qin Zeng's eyes, swaying slightly: "You know?"

"When Mu Lan looked at the emperor, that kind of appearance, that kind of attitude, there was no trace of the feelings and expectations of the young Mu Ai, on the contrary, there was a kind of fear that could not be avoided, saying that she loved the emperor, it was better to say that Mu Guifei loved the emperor's love for the death and life of the emperor."

Qin Zeng didn't expect Li Qingyi to be able to talk to him calmly at such an age, although he was talking about someone else's love, but there was always some disobedience, "Therefore, although Mu Lan is the mastermind behind the killing of the good nobleman, it is not her will, and there are still people hiding behind it."

Li Qingyi can certainly affirm the answer.

It's someone hiding behind it, it's Mu Guifei.

She is the one who knows the ultimate mystery, and it is easy to deduce from the results.

However, she couldn't say this to Qin Zeng.

can only slowly guide the presentation of evidence, which attracts Qin Zeng's attention.

Li Qingyi pondered his words for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Don't you think that your lordship thinks that Mu Guifei's attitude towards Mrs. Mu is very strange?"

"It is true that the entire Mu family is one with Mu Guifei, but Mu Guifei's attitude has a kind of meaning of playing with Mrs. Mu to applaud."

Li Qingyi smiled secretly in his heart.

That's of course.

One is a biological mother and the other is an adoptive mother. Who can say the subtle emotions in this?

Qin Zeng thought thoughtfully, "And Mu Lan, what is it for someone to go around in such a big circle, and he does not hesitate to take the lives of the mother and son of the noble person to lead her to kill the noble person?"

Li Qingyi had no doubt about Qin Zeng's acumen, "When I found Guo Wei, I realized that behind the whole thing, someone was secretly manipulating. I always feel that killing good people does not seem to be the purpose of the other party. So, when I found out about Pei'er's head, I was really shocked. Who is so capable of subduing all the girls around the Mu family's daughter-in-law?"

The light fell, and only a golden thread remained in the distance, inlaid under the blue and white of the inky night.

Qin Zeng felt something in his heart, "It must be someone whose identity is much higher than her master, Mu Lan, and even above the Mu family, so that she doesn't even dare to resist."

Li Qingyi unconsciously rubbed the intricate patterns on the curtain and asked, "Do you remember what Concubine Mu said in Dali Temple today?"

"Yes. She said, "Lan'er, is it because you know that the good and noble person is similar to Ruying, so you are?" Qin Zeng quietly looked at Li Qingyi's face and said, "This means that someone told Mu Lan about Ruying, and Mu Guifei was also present, or, at all, she said it to Mu Lan."

"I think so, too." Li Qingyi tried her best to smooth out the doubts in it, and said slowly: "Moreover, although she omitted the second half of the sentence, she penetrated everyone's vague conjecture in one sentence, and almost confirmed the fact that Mu Lan secretly missed the emperor and killed the good nobles with jealousy. Then, she turned to plead with the emperor, saying that everything must have been done by the evil slave Pei'er, which was really inconsistent."

Qin Zeng's brows furrowed tightly.

Li Qingyi looked at him and said, "There is one more thing that adults don't know. On the night of the accident, I followed the eldest princess and others

In the Furong Palace, the moment everyone saw the corpse, Mu Lan's expression was also a little unusual, the kind of fear that came from the girl, it was a little strange."

"Oh? Do you suspect that there are dark ghosts?"

Qin Zeng's meaning, Li Qingyi understands, the so-called "if you lose something, look at everyone like a thief".

But Li Qingyi said with great certainty: "No, this feeling is not unique after the case is solved. I still remember that when everyone first saw the body of the good noble, the strange look on Mu Lan's face even made me doubt that the death of the good nobleman was the meaning of the Mu family."

"Well, this is indeed a place worth noting, and you can tell me about it."

Li Qingyi pondered his words and said, "Because Yucomb's hatred for the good nobleman has reached the point of no return, the death of the good nobleman is not ordinarily miserable. And when Mu Lan first saw this scene, her expression was like ...... Obviously, she was mentally prepared and knew that the good nobleman must be dead, but the bloody scene was still beyond her expectations. So, at that moment, Mu Lan's face was surprised and frightened, and although she quickly covered it up, I was absolutely not mistaken."

Qin Zeng understood what she meant, and said, "So from the beginning, you felt that the matter was related to the Mu family, and Mu Lan, as a murderer, killed the noble person not because of her will, but for her people."

Li Qingyi nodded, "Yes, who will be the one who can make Mu Lan kill for him?"

Qin Zeng pondered for a moment and said, "Looking at Mrs. Mu's performance, she doesn't even have the courage to argue, is it ...... Mu Guifei? Can...... What's the need?"

Li Qingyi sat up straight, "I remember that Concubine Mu said something like that after Mrs. Mu came in, it was very strange."

"You mean, the sentence about Mu Ying?"

"Well, Mu Guifei said that she didn't know Mu Lan, but unfortunately Mu Ying, who had been hurting her for more than ten years, was already dead...... Inexplicably, why did she mention Mu Ying on such an occasion?"

Qin Zeng narrowed his eyes suddenly, "I still remember the last time I was in the Mu Mansion, you said that Mrs. Mu had a son before, but he died young, and it coincided with the time when Mu Guifei gave birth?"

Seeing that he realized the problem, Li Qingyi immediately came to his senses and said, "Mu Guifei led Mu Lan to kill the good nobleman, and let people expose her in public, but she kept her, just to tell Mrs. Mu one thing......
