Old Madam Xie pursed her lips and looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Mu Huai'an pulled his sleeves out of the old lady's hand in disappointment, "This person is the murderer of Empress You'an, and the grandson must take him to Beiya and hand him over to His Royal Highness the Prince, only in this way can he beg His Royal Highness to open up to the Mu family, this is the real aftermath." ”

"Hehe......" Ul replied chuckling, "young man, if you want to arrest me, you have to weigh whether you have the ability to do it." ”

Mu Huai'an smiled coldly.

This time, instead of talking nonsense with Urda, he reached directly to the back of Urda's neck and was about to lift his collar—

However, as soon as Mu Huai'an mentioned the internal force, he suddenly felt a light flutter in his mind, as if a fog had risen.

Even the scene in front of me rippled like a lake thrown into it by stones.

Mu Huaian shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up.

Inadvertently, he saw the incense burner at the foot of the bed, and his heart sank, "What did you burn in the incense burner?" ”

"Something that will make you obedient......" replied with a fluttering voice.

His hoarse voice, for some reason, came into Mu Huai'an's ears, with a few more ethereal echoes.

It's as if it's coming from a distant place.

Mu Huai'an knew that he had won his Zhu Youshu eighty percent, and tried his best to stabilize his mind.

"Look for death!"

He snorted coldly, drew the short dagger from his waist, and was about to press it against Urda's neck-——

I saw that Urda had untied the sealed acupuncture points on his body at some point, stretched out his thin hand, and snapped his fingers in front of him.

"Smack-"

Mu Huai'an only felt that everything in front of him had become blurred, as if there were two faint flames, swirling and flickering in front of his eyes.

Gradually, he lost consciousness......

After a whole night, Shen Lingxi woke up on the bed in the east wing of the small courtyard.

In my eyes, it was the neat pillow and quilt on the outside of the bed, which showed that Chu Yan had not come back since he left last night.

Before leaving, he sent a black-armored guard to guard the courtyard, and only told her to rest well, and then left in a hurry, not knowing where he went.

Shen Lingxi got up, washed up briefly, opened the door, and saw Chunjun already waiting respectfully at the door.

"Crown Princess, something happened to the Chengen Mansion."

Chunjun said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness ordered, when you wake up, let your subordinates take you over." ”

Shen Lingxi thought that Xie Zhanghua and Xie Zhangting had said last night that they would go to the Chengen Mansion to find out the news.

She subconsciously looked around the courtyard.

Liu Meiren and a few concubines saw her walk out of the room, and surrounded her with a smile, "Who are you looking for?" King Yunjiang is not here, he went to the courtyard of the Xiao family, saying that he wanted to watch and see how much the Xiao family still had to hide from him. ”

"What about my mother-in-law and aunt?" Shen Lingxi asked them, "Have you ever seen them come back?" ”

Chunjun saw her suddenly speaking into nothingness, and her expression instantly tensed.

Subconsciously moved a few steps to the opposite side of her gaze.

Liu Meiren shook her head, "They didn't come back, I haven't seen them since last night, Yun Hongshan has been looking for Xie Zhangting all night." ”

When Shen Lingxi heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What's wrong?" She asked Chunjun, raised her feet and walked out of the courtyard.

Chunjun hurriedly came back to his senses, led the way, and replied concisely: "In the early morning, the housekeeper of the Cheng'en Mansion came to Beiya to report the case, saying that Mu Shaoqing had a dispute with the ancestor of the Cheng'en Mansion late at night, and took advantage of the dead of night to sneak into the ancestor's room and give the ancestor to ...... Killed. ”

Shen Lingxi's eyes were full of shock, and he paused suddenly.

The concubines around her also exclaimed in unison, "How is this possible, Xiao Shaoqing is not a person who can kill people!" ”

Shen Lingxi tightened his face and walked out quickly.

"It is impossible for Mu Huaian to kill someone, let alone kill his grandmother, there must be something strange in this." Shen Lingxi walked and asked: "Since it happened in the early morning, I must have found a person to conduct an autopsy, what do you say?" ”

"There is a lot of evidence." Chunjun said solemnly: "The maids who are resting in the wing room, when they heard the movement in the upper room, they rushed in and saw Mu Shaoqing holding a dagger in his hand, and the ancestor was covered in blood and had no breath. He conducted an autopsy and said that the wound on the ancestor's body matched the dagger in Mu Shaoqing's hand, and it was indeed undoubtedly killed by him. ”

Shen Lingxi closed his eyes.

There was such a big incident, Xie Zhanghua and Xie Zhangting went to the Chengen Mansion, and they should run back to tell her as soon as possible.

But so far, they haven't appeared, which means that they must have tripped over something like they were in the Yunjiang Palace.

So far, the only one who has been able to trap the souls of the dead is Urda.

Shen Lingxi was almost certain that this incident must have been the ghost of Urda.

"What about Mu Huai'an, what did he say?" She hurriedly asked again.

Chunjun: "I'm in a hurry here, His Royal Highness got the news and rushed to the Cheng'en Mansion, and saw Mu Shaoqing sitting next to the corpse of the old ancestor." His Royal Highness asked him anything, but he refused to say, so His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to find the crown princess. ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked to the corner gate closest to the small courtyard.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked at the door.

Next to the carriage, several embroidered messengers with horses were waiting on the side.

Time was pressing, Shen Lingxi walked directly to a horse, took the reins from the embroidered messenger's hand, and turned over on the horse neatly.

"I can ride faster, I'll go first, you follow."

As he spoke, he raised his horsewhip and galloped away in the direction of the Cheng'en Mansion.

Chunjun looked at her sassy figure with a slightly stunned expression.

"Crown Princess...... When did you learn to ride a horse? ”

He muttered in confusion, did not dare to delay, instructed everyone to turn over and get on their horses, and hurried after them.

*

Starting from the Barbarian Fang, it took less than half an hour to arrive at the gate of the Cheng'en Mansion.

Shen Lingxi and Chunjun got off their horses and hurried to Wutong Garden.

Outside the Wutong Garden, there are many large and small stewards and servants and maids in the house, and more than a dozen embroidered clothes in the courtyard stand on both sides.

There were so many people, but the whole courtyard was so quiet inside and outside that there was no sound.

Chengen Gong Mu Tiangang and Mu Huaijie, father and son, arrived one step ahead of Shen Lingxi, and were hurrying to the upper room.

They must have just returned from outside the city, looking like dusty servants, with dew-stained marks on their sideburns and robes.

Shen Lingxi silently followed behind them, turned an embroidered screen, and saw a secret door open on the north wall of the bedroom, next to the danqing of the pine crane prolonging the year.

A thick bloody breath, mixed with a faint "intoxicating" smell, rushed into the tip of Shen Lingxi's nose.

She looked at the painting and the secret door, and vaguely guessed what had happened last night.

"Mother's ......"

"Grandmother!"

The bitter cries of Mu Tiangang and Mu Huaijie, father and son, came from the secret room.

Shen Lingxi and Chunjun glanced at each other, and walked in one after the other.

Haven't walked into the room yet—

"Smack!" A crisp slap came out.

"You disobedient and unfilial son, you dare to kill your grandmother, I have to kill you today!"

Poor little peach blossom was wronged and beaten by her father.

Spoiler, it's not the little peach blossom's hand.

Thank you for your tips, tickets and messages, I feel full of encouragement, Mo Mo Da~
