Chapter 103: The Scapegoat

"Princess. The slave didn't understand. The Queen Mother's birthday. There are so many treasures in the world. Why did Concubine Shen have to embroider a piece of longevity by hand and give it to the Queen Mother. Jin Yan asked a little puzzled.

In fact, what Jin Yan wants to know more is. Obviously, Shen Bining almost pushed Mu Qingchen into the water and drowned. Why did Mu Qingchen still treat Shen Bining so well. But she never asked. After all, there are some things that Mu Qingchen doesn't want her to know. Then even if she asked. Mu Qingchen wouldn't necessarily tell her.

"Because of the longevity quilt. It was before the Queen Mother entered the palace. Favorite thing too. Pity...... Later, she was burned by herself. Mu Qingchen smiled. Some words were ominous.

Shen Yuan's secret is actually not complicated. It's nothing more than before entering the palace. The first update has a lover who has a heart-to-heart. However, the two showed their hearts. It's too late to talk about marriage. was shattered by a draft decree of the first emperor and a pair of lovers. Shen Yuan entered the palace. Since then, Xiao Lang passers-by. The deep palace is gone.

The so-called Xiao Lang was born in a poor family. When he fell in love with Shen Yuan, he didn't have anything. There is only one hand-embroidered manju quilt from his mother. Gifted to Shen Yuan. I thought I was a success. Clothes are gone. is qualified to stand at the door of the former Prime Minister's Mansion. Ask Shen Yuan for marriage. But I didn't expect it. When he became famous. But it was the day when Shen Yuan entered the palace in a wedding dress.

Shen Yuan personally burned the longevity quilt he sent. Cut off his thoughts. I thought we would never see each other again. But I didn't expect him to be exhausted. Climb up step by step with what you have learned. The first time to update won the attention of the first emperor. In and out of the palace. A very good minister. Now he is another important minister in addition to Shen He and Gu Yanzhao. Respected.

Auxiliary General Duan Hong. Perennial guard the northern frontier of the desert. Because Mobei has always been friendly with the Ningyue Kingdom. So there was no fighting on the northern border. And Mobei sent an envoy to Ning Yue. I want to negotiate with Ning Yue about communicating with each other. Duan Hong was summoned to Beijing. Now it is in the capital.

The people of the Shen family have always been intrigued. How did Shen Bining find out about this? Mu Qingchen didn't ask. Don't want to know either. All she knew was that she could take advantage of it.

Shen Bining embroidered the silk thread and satin used for the longevity quilt. They were all soaked in the purple magic potion for seven seven or forty-nine days. Shen Bining had already taken the antidote. Nature is not afraid. More and faster chapters are here. But if the Queen Mother misses Duan Hong, she misses it every day. I can't put it down for this longevity. It must be exposed to it every day.

It's been a long time. The medicinal properties of the purple charm will be inhaled into the body by the Queen Mother. The person she thought of when she saw the poison of the purple charm again. You won't be able to suppress your inner desires. I want to have fun with/be nice to it. If that's the case. Then the first name of the Empress Dowager Ning Yue. It will be gone in an instant.

"Princess. I spent a day in the palace today. I must be tired too. Why don't you rest sooner? Ji Yu said.

"I'm not tired. I'm waiting for news of the nightfall. Qingchen shook his head. said. Just walk to the side of the case. Let Jinyan light the lamp. Sit under the lamp and read a book.

Hold Yu knew that Qingchen and the others must be news from the annex. He didn't say anything. Just go out with Jinyan. Stay on the outside. Don't disturb Mu Qingchen to read.

Just as Qingchen waited for the news of the nightfall. There has also been a commotion in the annex because of Nie Menghua's death. Xiao Ling took Xiao Yi and Shen He. There are also envoys from the three kingdoms. entered the room where Nie Menghua was under house arrest. saw Nie Menghua's maidservant Yazhu kneeling beside Nie Menghua's corpse. Crying.

Xiao Ling entered the door. What caught my eye was Nie Menghua's corpse lying on the ground. The eyes were wide open. The face was covered in dark blue color. There is still a trace of white foam at the corner of the mouth. Anyone with eyes can see it. Nie Menghua didn't die violently at all. It's clearly poisoning.

"Your Majesty. According to Weichen. It is better to transfer the matter to the Criminal Department. Find a post-mortem before making a conclusion. Shen He looked at the scene in the house. said.

"No, I can't. Although Menghua is now a guilty body. But it's the county lord of my southern Xinjiang. How can you let the post-mortem be done. Nie Xinyao was the first to object. Then he commanded. "Wuqin. Yazhu. You two help the county lord clean up. No one is allowed to disturb the body of the county lord. ”

"Yes. "Wuqin got the order. So he and Yazhu got busy together.

"Your Majesty Emperor Ningyue. Hongu did so. Presumably, Your Majesty will not object. Menghua's body should not stay in the Ning Yue Kingdom for a long time. Early the day after tomorrow. Let's set off back to southern Xinjiang. I hope before the palace leaves the southern frontier. Your Majesty can give an explanation to this palace. Nie Xinyao said to Xiao Ling again.

"Naturally. Your Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Daughter, please rest assured. I will find the thief who stole the Nine Beads. Find the real culprit who killed the Lord of Menghua. Xiao Ling's face darkened. Nod yes.

Among the four countries. With the stars and the moon in the sky, the two countries are slightly superior. Southern Xinjiang looks at Xiao Ling. It's just a small alien country. Xiao Ling is the emperor of a country. was pointed at the nose by the princess of a small country and made threats. Naturally, the face doesn't look good.

"What is this. "It's in the silence of the atmosphere. only to hear Yazhu suddenly speak. He also held a jade pendant in his hand.

Nie Xinyao saw this. Immediately took the jade pendant from Yazhu's hand. Look closely. See that jade pendant is proficient and clear. The jade quality is excellent. There is not a single blemish. It also has the word "Sikong" written on it.

"Your Majesty. The minions remembered. The assassin who trespassed into the forbidden palace at the last year-end banquet. There seems to be a piece of such a jade pendant on his body. Qin Xi saw this. It seems to have remembered something. So said.

"You mean. Sikong Mu. Xiao Ling frowned. asked.

"Sikongmu. This jade pendant also happens to have the word Sikong written on it. Isn't it. Menghua's death is related to this person named Sikong Mu. Nie Xinyao listened to Xiao Ling's words. He asked.

"It's not impossible. Sikong Muno is a descendant disciple of the Sikong family, a family of thieves. He is known as a strange thief in the rivers and lakes. Last time, I had the audacity to break into the forbidden palace. He later escaped. Maybe this time I also took a fancy to the treasure of southern Xinjiang. The first time to update will be the first to steal. Xiao Ling said. "It's just that there is nothing to do with this Sikong Mu and Lord Menghua. I don't know. ”

"Strange thieves. No wonder the nine beads were stolen in a row. There was no movement in the annex. It turned out to be a disciple of the thief family. So to speak. The Nine Beads Serial was stolen by the people of the Sikong family. And Menghua's death. It's also about them. Nie Xinyao seemed to have quickly accepted Xiao Ling's statement.

"I'll make an order right away. Wanted Sikong Mu in the entire Ningyue Country. Xiao Ling saw that the matter had been decided. He immediately spoke. "Qin Xi. Message. The court offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. Capture Sikong Mu alive. ”

"The minions obeyed. Qin Xi bowed down and replied. And he withdrew.

"Your Majesty is really capable. I just arrived at the annex. You can find clues to the serial theft of nine beads. Nie Xinyao smiled at Xiao Ling. said.

"Her Royal Highness the Sixth Imperial Maiden is polite. The Nine Beads were stolen in my Ningyue Country. The county lord of Menghua died again in the country of Ningyue. Reasonable. I can't sit idly by. Xiao Ling also said very politely.

Xiao Yi and the others watched from the side. Xiao Ling and Nie Xinyao have been flattering each other from the beginning to the present. It was as if Nie Xinyao's threats just now were just everyone's hallucinations. I don't know if it was Nie Xinyao who accepted Xiao Ling's explanation. Or the tension between the two before was a play.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. Xia Guan was originally ordered by the emperor to congratulate the Empress Dowager Ning Yue on her birthday. More and faster chapters are here. Now the birthday has passed. Since Nanjiang has decided to leave early the day after tomorrow. Then it is inconvenient for the lower officials to stay longer. Wait early the next morning. Then I went to bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor. "Yan Ruhai saw that the truth was clear. He saluted Xiao Ling respectfully. said.

"Shen Aiqing. Send someone to protect the annex. Guarding the body of the Lord of Menghua. There can be no more mistakes. Xiao Ling commanded Shen He. Then speak. "Early the day after tomorrow. You will see me off as the envoy of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Wechen obeyed. Shen He nodded. Responding.

The dust has settled. Under Xiao Ling's orders. Everyone quickly went out of Nie Menghua's room. Only her original personal maid Yazhu was left to serve in the house.

Yazhu watched as everyone withdrew, pale. Watch as the door is shut. There were two guards from southern Xinjiang guarding the door. Facing Nie Menghua, who had died of anger, alone. Trembling slightly.

The dark shadow that had been hiding in the shadows was completely gone after everyone left. before flying out of the annex. Dive into the silence of the night. Towards the Lu Luoju of King Yi's Mansion.

Mu Qingchen closed the book in his hand. Turn on the candle flame on the desk. Only then did he speak, "Come back so early." It's coming to fruition. ”

"They found the jade pendant belonging to the Sikong family in the body of the county lord of Menghua. The emperor believed that the nine beads were stolen and the death of the lord of Menghua. It is related to Sikong Mu of the thief family. A reward has been ordered for the wanted Sikong Mu. Nightshade replied.

"The jade pendant of the Sikong family. Sikong Mu's jade pendant. I'm afraid it fell into Xiao Ling's hands as early as the night of the palace banquet. Find Sikong Mu to be the scapegoat. What a clever strategy. It not only provoked the relationship between Nie Ruyi and Nie Ruyan. and can excuse himself. It also shifted the attention of southern Xinjiang to the rivers and lakes. And so on three-pronged. Only Xiao Ling can do it. Mu Qingchen snorted coldly. Said with a smile.

"The princess meant. The death of the lord of Menghua. It has something to do with the emperor. Nightshade asked, surprised.

"It's not who else he is. Maybe. He had already reached some kind of agreement with Nie Xinyao. Nie Menghua's death. It's just a scene that the two know well. Mu Qingchen said. "As long as it's okay with our plans. Ignore it. Now the most important thing. It's the one in the palace. There is also the Shen family. ”

"The subordinates understand. Nightshade nodded. said.

"I heard that Duan Hong has never married in his life. Just for this obsession in my heart. What an infatuated person. Qingchen chuckled. Instead, he asked. "The person I asked you to arrange. It's arranged. ”

"The deputy landlord has already arranged it. His subordinates heard that General Duan had returned from the Mobei border this time. He brought back a lonely and helpless woman. The woman's appearance. There are three points like the Queen Mother when she was young. Nightshade replied.

"Yes. New love, old love. Is it an obsession or a stand-in. It depends on what the Queen Mother means......" Mu Qingchen whispered. There was a flash of indifference in his eyes. No traces.
