Yun Hongshan looked at Xie Zhangting in astonishment.

In his life, he has had countless women, and he is very fond of each of them.

No woman had ever said such a thing in front of him.

Yun Hongshan was born in the royal family of Yunguo, and he thinks that he has read countless people and has the best insight into people's hearts.

But at this moment, he realized that the woman in front of him was the one who loved him wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end.

"Zhang Ting, are you still misunderstanding me...... You believe me, I've never thought of harming you......"

Xie Zhangting glanced at him mockingly, unwilling to say anything more to him, turned around and floated out of the room.

Zhang Ting...... Zhang Ting ......"

Yun Hongshan called her name and wanted to chase her out-

"Even if the prince didn't have the idea of harming her, she also died because of the prince." Shen Lingxi's tone was cold and authentic.

"If the prince still has the heart to atone for his sins, it is better to think about it, what is going on with all this, don't forget that you are now a suspect in the murder of Empress You'an, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will help you avenge your grievances?"

Yun Hongshan paused in surprise.

He subconsciously looked at Chu Yan, who was meditating on the bed and pranayama.

At this moment, even though Chu Yan's eyes were slightly closed, there was still an extremely heavy aura of solemnity between his eyebrows.

Yun Hongshan shuddered for no reason.

"I really didn't know about the death of Empress You'an at first......"

Yun Hongshan looked at Shen Lingxi and said sincerely: "I heard the bad news of Zhang Ting's death, and sent your answer to collect her body. By the time Urda returned to Yunguo, it would already be a year later. Urda is just my protégé, and not everything he does is under my control, and I only knew that it was he who did it after the death of Empress You'an......"

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and suddenly became excited, "By the way, this matter must have been done by the Xiao family!" It's Shaw! Urda never told me about my hidden illness, but he told her about it! ”

The more he said, the more he felt that his speculation was true, "Back then, while I was away, the person who took Zhang Ting to the palace was the Xiao family, and she was the one who sent Zhang Ting back to Tongwuguan." Urda killed Empress You'an, and the person who persuaded me to cooperate with the Mu family was still her! ”

Hearing this, Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly, "Mu family? ”

"It's the Mu family." Yun Hongshan thought she didn't understand, and explained: "After Empress You'an died, your answer came back to Yunguo to ask me for guilt, and he said that when he was mortlying Zhang Ting's body, he was mistaken by Empress You'an for Zhang Ting's murderer, so he killed Empress You'an. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Zhanghua, who had been listening quietly by the side, said suspiciously: "I never saw Urda before I died, how could I misunderstand him?" ”

Yun Hongshan was stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at Xie Zhanghua a few times, and then recognized her as Empress You'an from the crown dress on her body.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Please also ask the queen to forgive her sins, the previous few said that they were the concubines of the former court, and the lower officials thought that you were too, please forgive the lower officials." ”

Xie Zhanghua didn't have a good face for him, snorted coldly, and turned sideways.

Yun Hongshan was silent for a few breaths, then turned his head and continued to say to Shen Lingxi: "Since Empress You'an said that what Urda said is a lie, it must be the queen who conspired with Xiao and Urda to kill Zhang Ting's death. ”

"When you said those words to me, Shaw was there. She said that since the matter has come to this point, if the Xie family knows about this, they will definitely blame me for the queen's death, and she advised me to find another family in Yunguo in time to join forces. ”

"I thought to myself, that's true. In addition, Urda took the initiative to ask Ying, and asked to contact the Mu family for me, so he agreed to this matter. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Zhanghua's face could not hide his surprise.

Shen Lingxi's pupils suddenly tightened.

The Mu family, it turned out to be really the Mu family!

She didn't expect that what happened, although there were some discrepancies between some details and what Yun Chong said, were roughly all right by him.

In this way, Xiao is the one who really joins forces with Urda.

She designed to send Xie Zhangting back to Tongwu Pass, while informing Xie Wenlang and inducing him to go to Tongwu Pass to kill Xie Zhangting.

In front of Yun Hongshan, he lied about Xie Zhangting's death, and asked Yun Hongshan to "send" your answer to give Xie Zhangting's corpse over.

Xie Wenlang killed Xie Zhangting, and your promise to borrow Xie Zhangting to give Xie Zhanghua "intoxication", and then used Zhu Youshu to plant hallucinations in Xie Zhanghua's mind.

It wasn't until after Xie Zhanghua's death that Wuerda returned to Yunguo to find Yun Hongshan to "excuse himself" and induce Yun Hongshan to cooperate with the Mu family.

So what kind of role does the Mu family play in the whole thing?

Xie Zhanghua's death was secretly arranged and instructed by the Mu family in advance.

Or is it the name of the Xiao family and Urda in order to join forces with the Mu family to overthrow Emperor Er?

Why did they have to kill Xie Zhanghua?

Now that Urda has absconded, I am afraid that only the Xiao family and the Mu family can explain it clearly!

Shen Lingxi knew that the matter was very important, and said to Yun Hongshan solemnly: "What you just said, I will report it to Your Highness truthfully, and when the matter is verified to be true, Your Highness will naturally not let go of the person who killed Empress You'an, so you should step back first." ”

When Yun Hongshan heard this, he politely saluted Shen Lingxi and floated out.

Seeing this, Liu Meiren also left with interest.

Xie Zhanghua was full of confusion and wanted to ask why this matter had something to do with the Mu family.

But when she thought about it, Shen Lingxi was afraid that she was also being verified, so she said: "I haven't been to see my aunt for a long time, Zhang Ting shouldn't want to see Yun Hongshan at this time, so I'll go to my aunt's house with her to have a look." ”

Xie Zhanghua's aunt is the ancestor of the Mu family, Mrs. Xie.

What she meant by saying this was to go to Mu's house to find out the news.

Shen Lingxi saluted her, "There is a mother-in-law." ”

Xie Zhanghua smiled at her and nodded, and turned to leave.

After all the souls left, only Chu Yan, who was meditating and pranayama, and Chun Jun, who was stunned, were left in the room.

Chunjun saw Shen Lingxi looking at him, and for the first time in his life, he stumbled and asked, "Tai, the crown princess, You, Queen You'an, are you also?" ”

"Yes." Shen Lingxi did not shy away from telling him: "Mother-in-law and aunt are here. ”

Chunjun has never encountered such an outrageous thing in his life.

He subconsciously wanted to bow down to nothingness—

"They're all gone." Shen Lingxi reminded softly, "I still have something to discuss with His Highness, so you can go and get busy first." ”

Hearing this, Chunjun hurriedly retreated respectfully.

After he left, Chu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Xu had been meditating and pranayama, and there were some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Shen Lingxi walked up to him, and as soon as his gaze was fixed on those beads of sweat, he heard Chu Yan ask, "What did Yun Hongshan say?" Is this matter related to the Mu family? ”

"Yes."

Shen Lingxi's expression was solemn, and he told Chu Yan what he had heard and thought.

At the end, she said: "What Yun Hongshan said is roughly the same as what Yun Chong said, no wonder Yun Chong had no fear when he attacked the Mu family. ”

"It's just that Mu Huai'an told me at the time that Gong Cheng'en personally told him that the first contact between the Mu family and Wuerda was when Yunguo and Great Zhou were at war. But according to Yun Hongshan, Wuerda should actually have been in contact with the Mu family after the death of his mother-in-law. ”

"Between the death of my mother-in-law and the start of the war between the two countries, there was a gap of four years, and one of the two of them must have told a lie."

Chu Yan's voice was cold and low: "Back then, the Mu family had indeed been promoting the imperial grandfather's expedition to the west. Mu Huai'an's words are the least credible. ”

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at him, "But I believe that Mu Huai'an should be kept in the dark." He's not the kind of person who would lie about such a thing, and he should know that this kind of lie won't keep it from me for long. ”

Chu Yan saw that her black and white apricot eyes were full of trust in Mu Huai'an.

To say that you are not jealous is false.

His jaw tightened slightly, and his eyes drooped slightly, "He must have discovered something when he left in a hurry." Is it in the dark, I can't wait too long to have an answer, but there is no need to rush to a conclusion. ”

"That's ......," Shen Lingxi agreed.

This made Chu Yan's eyebrows relax a little.

Shen Lingxi thought for a while, and said meaningfully: "It's just that this case is an old case, the King of Yunjiang is dead, and his confession cannot be used as evidence in court. ”

The words "confrontation in public", Chu Yan immediately understood what they meant.

"Are you sure?" Chu Yan raised his eyes and looked at her, "That Xiao clan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so it shouldn't be easy to deal with." ”

Shen Lingxi smiled, "As long as she is human, she has weaknesses, and she is not difficult to deal with." ”

"Seven days later." Chu Yan groaned and said, "Tonight's matter, the movement is too big, it must have alarmed the palace." The emperor will definitely order a thorough investigation, and take advantage of the time to investigate the case, seven days later, I will give you this opportunity, how about it? ”

Shen Lingxi smiled and nodded: "I will not disgrace my life." ”

*

At the same time, the Cheng'en Mansion.

Mu Huai'an came out of the Yunjiang Palace, and hurried back to the Chengen Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he went directly to the Wutong Garden, where the old lady Xie lived.

It was getting late, and if it was a normal time, Old Madam Xie would have already rested.

But Mu Huai'an walked outside the garden, but saw that the candles were still lit in the courtyard.

He knocked at the courtyard door.

"Squeak", the courtyard door opened from the inside, and a little maid with a wind lamp saw him and asked in surprise: "Uncle?" What are you doing here at such a late hour? ”

"Little Peach, is Grandmother asleep?" Mu Huai'an asked as he strode inside.

"No, I don't." Xiao Tao closed the door, followed him with a wind lantern, and replied: "The old ancestor heard that there was a strange incident in the Barbarian Fang, and he was fascinated by it, and he is still thinking about it at this time." ”

"Oh?" Mu Huai'an didn't stop, pretending to ask casually: "Then who has come to see grandmother tonight?" ”

"Miss Xie has been here." Xiao Tao hurriedly said: "After talking to the ancestor for a while, I went back to rest." ”

Mu Huai settled down, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which Miss Xie?" ”

"It's the cousin girl in the third room of the Xie family, called Yun Niang, the third old lady of the Xie family took her to Beijing as a guest a while ago, and the ancestor left the cousin girl to live." Xiao Tao said, lowered her voice and said, "The old ancestor seems to be intent on marrying the cousin to you." ”

Mu Huai'an asked thoughtfully, "The Xie family has three rooms...... Is the son the third room of the Haizhou prefect? ”

"Exactly, exactly." Xiao Tao covered her lips and smiled, "It seems that the uncle also has some interest in his cousin." ”

Mu Huai'an thought of something, snorted lightly, strode up the steps, waved his hand to the maids who greeted him at the door, and went directly into the upper room.

In the upper room, Mrs. Xie dismissed the servants and maids, and was leaning on the couch alone, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Huai'an deliberately increased his steps, coughed lightly, and saluted through the embroidered screen, "Grandmother, my grandson has come to greet you." ”

"It's Dalang." Old Madam Xie came back to her senses, sat up slightly straighter, and reprimanded unhappily through the screen: "You still know that when you come back, I have asked people to go to the yamen to look for you every day these days, either that you are busy, or that you can't find your people, are you hiding from me?" I think you're trying to me off! ”

Mu Huaian turned the screen, walked to the old lady's couch, and pulled a flattering smile, "Grandmother, your grandson is not hiding from you, he is really busy." As you know, these days, His Royal Highness is getting married, the emperor is happy, and he is amnesty to the world, and this prison is naturally the busiest. ”

"Are you still thinking about that little girl from the Shen family?" Old Madam Xie pretended to be angry, "She is now the crown princess, don't you want to do stupid things again, make Your Highness unhappy, don't you hear!" ”

Mu Huai'an smiled, "Don't worry, I do things in a measured way." ”

"If you want me to be reassured, get married early." Old Madam Xie looked at him and said, "I found a good girl for you, the granddaughter of the Xie family's third room, called Yun Niang." Her father is Xie Wenlang, the prefect of Haizhou, and is the third uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince, who is highly valued by His Royal Highness. Your father said that he was transferred back to Beijing after only half a year, and his entry into the cabinet was also a matter of the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince. In the future, the person in charge of the Xie family will be him. ”

"You married Yun Niang, you are the son-in-law of the Xie family, so that Your Highness will not look at you unpleasantly because of the old matter between you and the crown princess."

Mu Huai'an was unprecedented, and listened quietly to the old lady finish talking about this family matter.

His gaze always fell on the wall north of the old lady's bedroom, and hung the danqing painting of the pine crane for the long life.

"Did you hear me when I talked to you?" Seeing that he was silent, Old Madam Xie asked urgingly: "Tell me quickly, what do you think of Yun Niang?" If you think she can do it, I will personally go to Xie Mansion early tomorrow morning to propose marriage for you, and it just so happens that Wen Lang is in the capital. ”

Mu Huai'an didn't answer, stretched out his hand and pointed to the danqing and asked: "Grandmother, my grandson remembers that at the door of your secret room before, there used to be a pair of old men fishing and young children playing Danqing, when was it replaced with this one?" ”

Old Madam Xie's eyes flashed slightly, and she pretended to be unhappy and said: "You don't pretend to be stupid here with me, I will tell you about marriage, you are not allowed to say anything about it!" ”

When Mu Huai'an heard this, he withdrew his gaze and looked directly into Old Madam Xie's eyes.

He smiled and said, "Grandmother, you just heard about the Barbarian Fang, and your grandson came back from the Yunjiang Royal Mansion this time." You said that it was a coincidence, grandson Fangcai, in front of a secret room in the Yunjiang Palace, I saw a picture of the same Danqing hanging on the wall as you used to, and the way to open the door in that secret room is also the same as your one. ”

A trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Xie's eyes, but soon, she lowered her eyes and covered it.

"It's just a painting, but it's not a rare thing." She said in a calm tone: "This secret room was built by craftsmen when the mansion was built, and the Yunjiang Royal Mansion is about the same time as our Chengen Mansion, and it happens to be the same group of craftsmen who have done the same work, so what's the fuss about." ”

Mu Huaian had already guessed that she would say this, and the smile on the corner of her lips was slightly retracted.

He simply stopped selling Guan Zi and asked solemnly: "Grandmother, whether it is a 'coincidence', you know, I know." This matter is related to the safety of the entire Mufu, can you tell your grandson what is going on? What is the relationship between our family and Urda, who killed Queen You'an? ”

It's even slower, and I'm not embarrassed to ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month. I didn't expect to receive a lot of monthly tickets in the past two days, thank you to the book friends who have been silently chasing and supporting, love you, and moved
