Mu Huai'an, who was still immersed in remorse and grief, raised his eyes in astonishment because of Shen Lingxi's words, followed Shen Lingxi's gaze, and looked towards the void where the old lady was.

Being looked at by the two of them like this, Old Madam Xie's lips trembled.

If she saw Xie Zhanghua and Xie Zhangting still "alive", although she was flustered, she could barely be considered calm.

But at this moment, when she saw Shen Lingxi's eyes staring at her soul body and talking, it was even more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

"You, you, how can you ......"

"I see ghosts all the time. Not only that......" Shen Lingxi smiled at her, and deliberately reached out to hold the hand on her corpse, "I can also control the corpse." ”

When the words fell, Old Madam Xie's corpse suddenly turned her head, a pair of eyes looked at the old lady's soul coldly, and a voice similar to her voice came from her throat: "I can use your corpse to speak, so don't think about continuing to hide and deceive, let alone fooling ......."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows much more than you think. His Royal Highness is now looking at Shaoqing's face, and he is more tolerant of the Mu family. Your confession, in fact, is not important to us at all. What I want to do, all I have to do is borrow this corpse and I can open my mouth......"

Old Madam Xie's heart set off turbulent waves.

Originally, she chose to die so that she could bear the responsibility and keep the secret.

But at this moment, Shen Lingxi's actions made her realize that death cannot be the end of everything.

"Grandmother." Mu Huai'an's voice was hoarse, and there was a deep sadness, "You saw the situation last night, although I don't know why Urda didn't let me kill you...... But now he did make this murder scene. ”

"Today, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believing in me, if it weren't for Shen Lingxi's help, the crime of killing my grandmother would have fallen on my head, is this the result you want to see?"

It seems to confirm Mu Huai'an's words-

Chunjun went and returned, and at the door of the secret room, he saluted Shen Lingxi: "Crown Princess, Your Royal Highness asked your subordinates to inform you, and the few maids who served in front of the ancestor above all confessed that when he entered the secret room and saw Mu Shaoqing, he kept saying 'Grandmother killed Queen You'an, I am just helping His Royal Highness the Prince, avenging Queen You'an......' If this confession is presented to the emperor, Shaoqing will be more than lucky." ”

When he said this, he winked at Shen Lingxi invisibly.

Shen Lingxi bowed his head to him tacitly.

When Mrs. Xie heard Chunjun's words, she was already slumped on the ground, her face was ashen, "No, no, he promised me......"

"What did he promise you?" Xie Zhanghua floated in front of the old lady, and his always gentle face was dyed with lust: "Auntie, is this really related to you?" You are the person I respect the most!

Old Madam Xie looked at her with a complicated expression, "Zhang Hua, I really didn't mean to ......"

"When I learned of Zhang Ting's death, I was very sad and went to Huguo Temple to light a lantern for her, and accidentally got acquainted with Urda. He was good at divination, and he did several things for me, and they were all accurate, so I trusted him a lot. ”

"After you moved to the palace, I learned that you had been restless all day, so I sought advice from him. He figured out that you were haunted by evil spirits, and drew a few talismans for me to give to you...... Do you remember that? ”

Xie Zhanghua frowned and recalled carefully, "This is indeed the case, because of those few talismans, I was in Yongtai Palace, and I really didn't have any more nightmares, and I also sent the maidservant girl to the house to inquire about the origin of the spirit talisman." ”

"Yes." Old Madam Xie closed her eyes, "I wanted to introduce him to you, but he said that he only crossed the fate of the person and rejected me." ”

"But soon after, he gave me a packet of spices mixed with incense ash, saying that if it was made into a sachet and worn on the body, it would have the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves."

"I thought about your body, and ordered that the spice be made into a sachet and given to you, and I told you to wear it on your body, and I never told you the origin of the sachet."

"It's just a sachet."

Xie Zhanghua didn't think that a small sachet could be anything great.

She said suspiciously: "Besides, the palace maids have always been cautious about the things I wear, and the sachet must have been examined by the imperial doctor......"

"The sachet is medicine, not poison." Shen Lingxi explained: "That medicine is produced in the medicine palace, and the imperial doctor of the Great Zhou can't test it. ”

She looked at Xie Zhanghua, "The 'intoxication' you have on Xie Zhangting's corpse, the medicinal power can only last for a month or two at most, but if you put the 'intoxication' into the sachet, wear it on your body, and smell it every day, the effect can last." ”

"Hello, think about it, did you start wearing this sachet when you moved back to the East Palace from the Imperial Palace?"

"It's really ......," Xie Zhanghua recalled, "After returning to the East Palace, my symptoms began to worsen, could it be the problem with the sachet?" ”

Shen Lingxi nodded.

"It's just ......" she frowned: "With Urda's ability, since he can come and go freely in the East Palace, why does he have to borrow the old lady's hand to take this medicine?" ”

Mu Huai'an on the side, although he couldn't hear the words of the dead soul, he could also deduce the whole story from Shen Lingxi's words.

"If he wants to borrow the hand of the Mu family to prompt the first emperor to go west, he must pull the Mu family into the water." He said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Old Madam Xie sighed, "After Zhang Hua died, Wuer came to tell me that the sachet was the medicine that prompted Zhang Hua to commit suicide, and the sachet was given to Zhang Hua by myself, as long as this matter is revealed, the Mu family will never be able to escape the involvement." This sachet is equivalent to tying the Mu family to his boat. ”

When Xie Zhanghua heard this, the anger around him decreased a lot.

"If the truth of the matter is really like this, then the sachet was deceived and calculated by the adulterer without my aunt's knowledge, and my aunt just made a mistake by negligence, and she can't be regarded as a murderer, I don't blame my aunt."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her old face had a look of guilt for the first time.

Shen Lingxi smiled.

I have to say that Chu Yan, the mother-in-law, is indeed too soft at the root of her ears and too soft at the heart.

No wonder it was calculated so badly back then.

She looked at Old Madam Xie and said lightly: "Even if the old lady didn't know about it at first, but after she learned about it, she should report it to the official and tell the real murderer." ”

"But you acquiesced in this matter, allowing your mother-in-law to bear the notoriety of 'suicide', and watched her die without being able to be sealed and enter the temple."

"What's more, you also chose to cooperate with Urda, and did your best to help Urda promote the emperor's expedition to the west. And now when he has nowhere to hide, he hides him here. ”

"The Mu family has joined forces with Urda over the years, I'm afraid they have done a lot of things, right? Otherwise, the old lady would not have chosen to apologize with death as soon as she heard the news of the incident. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Lingxi seemed to think of something, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

With a pair of apricot eyes, she examined Old Madam Xie's face very sharply, and asked in a deep voice, "Could it be ...... The death of Emperor Xiaode, but you also did it? ”

Emperor Xiaode is Chu Yan's father, the name of the first prince after his death.

As soon as Shen Lingxi's words came out, whether it was Mu Huai'an or the three revenants, their faces changed.

"No, no, no." Old Madam Xie was so frightened that she waved her hand again and again, "Even if we borrow our courage in this matter, we won't dare, then we will pay for the lives of the family!" ”

"Impossible." Although Mu Huai'an couldn't hear the old lady's words, he also worried: "When Emperor Xiaode died, my grandfather was no longer alive, and my father was ordered to go to the west to welcome the emperor's grandson back to Beijing, but he was not in the capital. ”

Shen Lingxi looked at him sideways: "But don't forget, Danzhu's father, Liu Shichang, is the best at detoxification, but on the day Emperor Xiaode died violently, he disappeared for no reason." In the end, Duchess Chengen also secretly sent Liu Shichang to join the list of dereliction of duty in the case of Emperor Xiaode's death, and let the Liu family be beheaded. If it weren't for this, Mu Xue'e would not have died in the hands of Danzhu. ”

Mu Xue'e is the heart of Old Madam Xie, thinking of her death, Old Madam Xie said sadly: "This matter is just a coincidence." ”

She raised her eyes, looked at her and said, "When Urda threatened us with the sachet, he did say that Zhang Hua is dead, and the Xie family is in a state of collapse, if Hui Rong marries into the East Palace, the Mu family can replace the Xie family in the future and enjoy exclusive honor." ”

"I admit it, I have thought about it, and the old grandfather also secretly made a few relatives and friends old and said things in front of the emperor."

It's just that Emperor Xiaode has always been unable to let go of Zhang Hua's death, and has repeatedly refused this matter. coincided with the death of the grandfather of the old country, I felt sorry for Hui Rong, and I didn't want Hui Rong to marry to the East Palace to be a widow, so I gave up and let her marry King Huan. ”

"After the death of the grandfather of the old country, we kept filial piety in the house, and there was no contact with Urda, and then the emperor went west, and my son Tiangang was ordered by the emperor to play the forward, and Urda came to the door and said that he wanted to join forces, so I let Tiangang deal with him."

"Tiangang is timid, and I haven't told him about the past. I'm afraid that Urda will calculate Mufu again, so I asked Tiangang to tell the first emperor about Urda's alliance, and only acted with the permission of the first emperor. ”

"Since then, the exchanges between the Mu family and Urda have been on the surface, how dare we attack the prince."

"Besides, the first emperor was wise and martial, he naturally sent someone to check, and the death of Emperor Xiaode has nothing to do with King Huan and our Mu family, so he will issue a holy decree to let King Huan ascend the throne as emperor."

"Crown Princess, this matter really has nothing to do with us."

Shen Lingxi frowned.

At the beginning of the Yongtai Palace, Yun Chong instructed Danzhu behind his back to use Mu Xue'e's life to uncover the grievances between Mrs. Zhou and the imperial physician Liu Shichang's family.

also pointed out that Imperial Physician Liu disappeared mysteriously on the morning of the sudden death of the former prince.

And at this moment, after learning that the Mu family had collusion with Urda and was Urda's accomplice.

Mrs. Xie said that all this was just a "coincidence".

Where in the world can there be such a coincidental "coincidence"?

Shen Lingxi didn't believe it.

If it weren't for Mrs. Xie being lying.

It's just that Yun Chong has a problem there.

Mu Huai'an saw that Shen Lingxi didn't speak for a long time, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What did grandmother say? ”

Shen Lingxi came back to his senses, and simply put Yun Chong's matter aside for the time being, and relayed Old Madam Xie's words to Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an tightened his eyebrows, "Since what happened is like this, grandmother is pleading in front of His Royal Highness, why should she apologize for her sins with death?" ”

"I'm damned." Old Madam Xie's eyes welled up with tears, "I owe Zhang Hua a life, and I should apologize to her." ”

As she spoke, she floated in front of Xie Zhanghua and knelt on the ground: "Zhang Hua, although it was not my intention to die, I am also an accomplice, and I can't help you." ”

Old Madam Xie kowtowed to her three times.

Xie Zhanghua pursed his lips and turned sideways to avoid it.

After being reminded by Shen Lingxi, she also realized at this moment that the aunt in front of her was actually an extremely selfish person and not innocent.

Shen Lingxi was not interested in Mrs. Xie's belated "confession".

In short, the whole thing Mu family almost lay down, and they got a great benefit.

Attacking Yunguo, joining forces with Yunhong Mountain, making great achievements, and adding officials to the knighthood were the ones who were the ones who made great achievements.

The emperor ascended the throne, and the Mu family girl became the master of the harem, and the most honored relatives were also them.

How can the Mu family be virtuous!

Didn't you save your ancestors in your last life? Can he treat him like this?

It is no wonder that after Urda was injured and fled, he came to the Cheng'en Mansion as soon as possible.

Shen Lingxi didn't believe that Urda was such a "kind" person.

If he can do so much for the Mu family, then what he wants from the Mu family must be very big.

"Last night, you chose to commit suicide in this secret room, did you mean Urda?" Shen Lingxi asked.

Old Madam Xie hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"I worship Urda as an immortal master, and when he came to me for help last night, he said that as long as I save him through the difficulties, he will definitely help the Mu family to reach a higher level in the future."

Shen Lingxi raised his eyebrows, "How to go to the next level?" ”

Mrs. Xie pursed her lips: "Many years ago, Hui Rong injured her body in childbirth and has never been pregnant, he said that he could treat Hui Rong and let her conceive a child." ”

Shen Lingxi understood.

The queen has been childless for many years, which is a well-known thing in the world.

Although the East Palace has now been decided, the emperor is in the prime of life.

If the queen can give birth to a dragon son, with the power of the Mu family, there will definitely be a bloody storm in this court.

Urda is very good at manipulating people's hearts.

If it weren't for Shen Lingxi being able to see the souls of the dead, this case would have ended with Old Madam Xie's suicide at most.

There is no way to overturn the case for Xie Zhanghua, and the Mu family will not be punished too much because of this.

Your replied that maybe he could trick the queen into doing things for him, it was really calculating.

It's a pity that I met her who can see hell.

"What happened last night?" Shen Lingxi asked again.

Old Madam Xie replied truthfully: "After I learned that there was an accident in the Yunjiang Palace, I was restless, and I came to the secret room to find him for an idea, but I was bumped into by Da Lang. ”

He used Zhu Youshu to control Da Lang, although Da Lang was not sober, but he was firm in his mind and did not follow his instructions. So he told me that the secret room of the Yunjiang Palace's palace had been discovered by the prince, and let me commit suicide in this secret room, and then write a letter of repentance, believing that even if the emperor learned the truth...... Tiangang and Huirong are unaware of them, and the emperor will not criticize them. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie had a hint of resentment on her face: "But I never expected that after my death, he would lay down this murder scene and blame Da Lang for my death." Da Lang is the hope of the Mu family in the future, and if he acts like this, ruining Da Lang is equivalent to ruining the Mu family...... I hate him so much! ”

A few hints of mockery flashed in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Seeking skin with a tiger never ends well.

"Do you know where Urda is?" She said meaningfully, "If you can catch him, you may be able to atonement for your crimes." Otherwise, he is good at disguise, and he is good at wishing for art, in case he sneaks into the palace and bewitches the queen, when your Mu family comes, it will really be a catastrophe. ”

Old Madam Xie's expression was grim.

She thought about it carefully for a few breaths, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to Shen Lingxi: "Many years ago, I met him in Huguo Temple, I know a place to go, he may be there ......"
