Witchcraft Doll
Phoenix Nirvana: The Path
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country “Naturally not.” Li Shi-yuan, on the other hand, gave an affirmative answer: “You’re not that stupid.”
Mu Lan was a little surprised that Li Shiyuan would help him.
She thought that even if Li Shiyuan was pressed, she just didn’t want the East Palace to get into trouble, but she didn’t expect that Li Shiyuan was standing on her side in this matter.
Not simply because of the East Palace.
Mu Lan is quiet, very light smile, also did not say what, now explain what is in vain.
“My beloved concubine is staying in her bedroom. She’s not allowed to go anywhere without the king’s permission.” “I don’t want to get into trouble,” Li Shiyuan said in a deep voice. “Just stay in the bedroom and don’t leave.”
“My concubine knows.” Mu Lan is rarely clever.
Seeing that Mu Lan was well-behaved, Li Shi-yuan’s gloom in his heart also dispersed a little. He reached out and pinched Mu Lan’s chin, half forcing Mu Lan to look at him: “If Lan had been as well-behaved and sensible as she is now, the king would have been even happier.”
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
Li Shiyuan did not mean to embarrass Mu Lan, after all, under such circumstances, it is not the time to be in love with Mu Lan’s children. There was a lot of hubbub about
this matter, and many people pointed directly at the East Palace.
Even Qu Huachang and the queen mother have been alarmed.
Although two people have not made a statement, but the face of the gloomy or see, this is the first time since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, so bright to move the dead people to the table.
“The king will take care of this.” Li Shiyuan gave Mu Lan a promise.
Mu Lan hum, also did not say much, the surface is always calm.
Li Shiyuan took a deep look at Mu Lan, and then did not stay in the palace of Mu Lan, hurriedly turned away.
It was Hexiang who heard Li Shiyuan’s words and stepped forward: “Young lady, the prince still believes in you.”. If the prince doesn’t believe you, you’ll be besieged on all sides.
Mu Lan did not answer.
It was really a bit of a surprise.
But Li Shiyuan’s behavior did not make any waves in Mu Lan’s heart, but Li Shiyu’s figure appeared in Mu Lan’s mind.
This matter, Li Shiyu also knows.
I’m afraid when Li Shiyu reminded himself in Mu Wang Fu, he was already investigating this matter. Will Li Shiyu also be involved?
Mu Lan sank, pressing these confused thoughts in his mind, and said nothing more.
But such peace did not last long.
Mu Lan was dozing on his bed when a message from the eunuch came from outside: “Empress, the empress has announced that you are going to the Fengqing Palace.”
Mulan opened his eyes and answered faintly, “I know.” The little eunuch
outside naturally did not dare to say any more.
All of a sudden, the bedroom was quiet again.
When Hexiang heard this, she looked even more nervous: “Young lady, the empress is looking for you.”
“When the water comes, the earth hides it; when the soldiers come, they block it. If you can’t avoid what should come, you might as well accept it frankly.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly, but it seemed much calmer.
If there is no absolute evidence, even if Qu Huachang wants to do something to himself, it is impossible to do it easily, after all, her identity is also there.
Mu Lan is no longer a poor little man who was bullied and humiliated by others in his last life.
Sinking, Mulan changed his clothes and calmly left the palace. He Xiang wanted to follow him, but Mulan stopped him: “Wait for me in the palace.”
“Young lady?” Ho-hsiang is nervous. “The maidservant will follow you, and if something really happens, there will be someone to take care of you.”
“If you really have something to do, you’re not taking care of it. The first person whose head will fall will be you.” Mu Lan said directly.
Hexiang’s face changed.
The darkness in the palace, Mu Lan knows better than anyone, if Qu Huachang can’t move himself, then he will take the people around him, among them, because the lotus fragrance is brought into the palace by himself. How could
Qu Huachang let it go.
Now he Xiang is in the East Palace, far safer than following himself.
“Be obedient.” Mu Lan explained in a deep voice.
He Xiang did not dare to speak, but nodded. “The maidservant knows.”
Soon, Mu Lan turned around and walked out, with Lian Yue them, Lian Yue when they saw Mu Lan also appeared to be cautious, that kind of panic is more obvious.
I’m afraid the next person to die is myself.
Mu Lan was not unaware of it, nor did he explain it.
Until Mu Lan left the East Palace and walked toward the Phoenix Palace, while the lotus fragrance in the bedroom made a frightened sound, and a group of guards rushed directly into the bedroom without reason.
“What are you doing? This is the Empress’s bedroom. No one can come in without her permission.” Hexiang tried to stop it, but to no avail.
A maidservant, where is the opponent of these great masters.
After a while, Hexiang could only watch Mu Lan’s bedroom being turned upside down, and eventually a few witchcraft dolls were turned out from under the box of the bed, with needles on them, and her chest was hollowed out. Exactly
like the dead minions.
Hexiang’s face changed and became pale. What does
this mean? The lotus fragrance is very clear. Although the folkway of Dazhou is open, the most taboo of Dazhou is witchcraft. No matter what Dynasty it is, witchcraft is taboo.
And these things, impressively appear in Mu Lan’s bedroom, what does this mean, he Xiang can think of with his toes.
But the lotus fragrance can be sure that this is definitely not Mu Lan’s thing.
After all, in the bedroom, Hexiang and Mulan get along with each other day and night, what Mulan did, Hexiang is very clear, besides, Mulan’s wisdom, how can it be possible to make such a self-destructive person.
But he Xiang did not dare to open his mouth, for fear that once he opened his mouth, he would really cause trouble for Mu Lan again. After
the guards found the voodoo doll from Mu Lan’s bedroom, they quickly left with the evidence.
The lotus fragrance was loosened, and her feet were completely soft and collapsed on the ground.
A feeling of gloom and uneasiness came to me everywhere.
Back to God, the lotus incense hurried out of the bedroom, but no one in the East Palace stopped the lotus incense, after all, the lotus incense is on the side of Mu Lan, in a sense, the lotus incense is different from them.
He Xiang did not think much about the idea of these slaves, but left the East Palace in a hurry, regardless of Mu Lan’s orders.
Staying here, Hexiang was afraid that something would happen to Mulan.
She is going to find Li Shiyu, which is the only idea in Hexiang’s mind, and now it seems that only Li Shiyu can save Mu Lan.
But where can Hexiang find Li Shiyu.
She went out of the East Palace and looked at the huge palace, completely without direction.
Hexiang ran for a while, but finally Hexiang stopped. Where could she go? Even if Li Shiyu is in the palace, she is now in the Royal Dragon Palace. Can she break into the Royal Dragon Palace?
This is not to tell the world about Mu Lan and Li Shiyu?
But can’t find Li Shiyu, the lotus fragrance is afraid that she can’t see Mu Lan again today, there is no such coincidence, the front foot Qu Huachang just called Mu Lan away, and the back foot big bodyguard came, in Mu Lan’s bedroom found these things. There are only a handful of people who can come into
Mu Lan’s bedroom. When were
these voodoo dolls let in?
He Xiang came in and didn’t notice it at all. Was it when Mu Lan left?
Because the lotus fragrance is sure, these are absolutely not Mu Lan, Mu Lan really want to clean you up, even if Mu Lan play dirty, do not need to use such a way.
Mulan is an atheist at all. She never believes in ghosts.
He Xiang gasped for breath, his face was still pale, but it was useless for him to know these principles, and the people in the palace did not understand.
The witchcraft dolls that have been found are evidence, and once convicted, the result is unthinkable.
“Isn’t this the minion of the Crown Princess?” Suddenly, a slightly playful voice came, “Where is your master?”? Why are you wandering around here alone? Don’t you know that the palace is not a place for slaves to wander around at will? There was banter and warning in the
words, and the eyes fell on Hexiang’s body, as if to see through Hexiang’s true thoughts.
He Xiang recovered from her fear and recognized the man in front of her. She knelt down and paid her respects. “I’ve seen your Highness, Lord Jiu. Your Highness is a thousand years old.”
“Get up.” Li Shili opened his mouth lightly.
Then Hexiang stood up.
Li Shi-li did not let go of what he had said: “Why are you here in a panic?”
Hexiang bit her lip and lowered her head without explaining.
“Where is your master?” Li Shi-li asked again, his tone darkening, with a warning, “When the king asks you a question, you’d better not pretend to be stupid.” Then
he Xiang answered, “The Empress has gone to the Feng-luan Palace.”
Li Shili sank, slightly squinting at the lotus fragrance, but did not doubt the truth of the words of the lotus fragrance, but Li Shili also just saw at a glance, the master of the palace went to the East Palace, these people are not on the side of Li Shiyuan.
So that’s a coincidence, mom? The pale slave
in front of him, I’m afraid, came out to ask for help, but there was no way to ask for help, after all, this is the palace, not the palace of Mu Wang. “When did your master go there?”
Li Shi-li asked.
“Less than a cup of tea.” Hexiang explained.
Li Shili’s eyes were heavier.
That’s interesting. It still takes time to go
from the East Palace to the Phoenix Palace, and I’m afraid these masters have already returned to the Phoenix Palace before Mu Lan, as if they had dug a hole and waited for Mu Lan to jump down.
And this matter, Li Shili if the news is right, Li Shiyuan is standing on the side of Mu Lan, has been Li Shiyuan watching, so it did not implicate Mu Lan. Did
Qu Huachang directly attack Mu Lan?
While Li Shili is now in the Royal Dragon Palace.
“You go back first.” Li Shi-li suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Hexiang. “Your master hasn’t told you. Don’t leave the East Palace at this time, so as not to implicate your master and save your life.”
In a word, let the lotus fragrance sweat again.
“I won’t go back.” Li Shili sank, and his tone became stern.
He Xiang is frightened not clear, plus she really can’t find anyone, here like a headless chicken, really will give Mu Lan trouble.
Finally, the lotus fragrance can only dejected back to the East Palace.
Li Shi-li stood motionless in the same place until he left. Then he lowered his head and asked the guards beside him, “Go and see what’s going on at the Feng-luan Palace.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The bodyguard answered respectfully.
Soon, Li Shili turned around and went to Fengyang Palace, which was the bedroom where Dai Zhi lived. After
sinking, Li Shili lowered his eyebrows and eyes, but hid a deep meaning. Before
walking a few steps, Li Shili saw Li Shiyu not far away, as if he had just come out of the Royal Dragon Palace for a short time, Li Shili’s footsteps stopped, Li Shiyu naturally saw Li Shili, but he did not change color.
“Fourth Brother.” Li Shili said hello.
Li Shiyu quieted down. “Why is Brother Jiu here?”
“I’m going to pay my respects to my mother.” Li Shih-li said, “Fourth Brother is going to pay his respects at the Feng-luan Temple?”
Li Shiyu also did not deny, this is the people in the palace know, after all, Li Shiyu was raised by Qu Huachang, please also reasonable.
When Li Shi-li saw that Li Shi-yu didn’t deny it, he smiled and said, “That’s a coincidence. The fourth elder brother just arrived at the Fengluan Palace and was able to watch the fun.”. The bustle associated with the East Palace.
One sentence made Li Shiyu’s eyes narrow slightly: “What kind of excitement can there be in the Feng-luan Temple?”
Li Shiyuan is Qu Huachang’s own son, even if Li Shiyuan sits in a perverse thing, Qu Huachang will stand on Li Shiyuan’s side without hesitation.
After all, the person Qu Huachang can rely on in the future is Li Shiyuan, not Li Changtian.
So this, let Li Shiyu a little confused for a while.
But Li Shi-li said coolly, “It seems that Fourth Brother really doesn’t know. Last night someone died in the East Palace. Does Fourth Brother know about this?”
“About Mrs. Ann?” It is impossible for Li Shiyu not to know that this matter has long been spread in the palace.
“Did the fourth brother know about the constant disappearance of slaves in the palace some time ago?” Li Shili continued to ask.
Li Shiyu was calm on the surface, but his heart had already missed a beat.
Li Shili has never been an eventful person, in the palace, Li Shili is very smart who has never offended, the palace gossip right and wrong, Li Shili has never taken the initiative to ask a word.
On the contrary, now, there is leisure here and oneself to talk about these rights and wrongs, which is enough to make Li Shiyu alert.
Not to mention, those slaves disappeared, the palace spread a lot of hubbub, all the spearhead is directed at the Crown Princess of the East Palace. Before
these people disappeared, the only person they had ever offended was Mu Lan.
And many people are still missing in the East Palace.
So, Leng Buding Li Shili mentioned, Li Shiyu heart uneasy premonition also followed more and more strong, but Li Shiyu will not be confused, waiting for Li Shili to finish the words.
“I’m sure the fourth brother knows that, too.” Li Shi-li went on by himself. “So this is a delicate matter. It’s impossible for the Fengluan Palace to have a conflict with the East Palace, but it happened.”. Because during this period of time, the troubles in the palace were neither serious nor light, and they were supposed to be jokes, but the people who settled down were aggressive, and the murderer’s methods were so cruel that they shocked the queen and the queen mother, so naturally they had to investigate thoroughly.
Li Shiyu did not answer.
“I checked, but I don’t know what the result was. I just happened to see the little slave beside the Second Imperial Wife. He was in a hurry and confused. I stopped her and asked her a question. Only then did I know that the Second Imperial Wife had been sent to the Fengluan Palace by the Empress.” The smile on
Li Shili’s face could not tell whether it was schadenfreude or something else. He went on to say, It just so happened that when the second emperor’s sister-in-law went to the Fengluan Palace, my brother saw the guards coming out of the East Palace. Naturally, the East Palace is heavily guarded, and all who can get in are the second elder brother’s people. Isn’t it strange that the fourth elder brother suddenly came?
Li Shiyu lost his hand behind him.
“This bodyguard will probably arrive before the Second Emperor’s wife arrives at the Fengluan Palace.” Li Shih-li only half smiles. “So, the fourth brother is going to pay his respects now. Isn’t it just right to watch the fun?”.
Li Shiyu’s eyes looked at Li Shili, Li Shili point to the end, also did not continue to say.
He bowed with his hand and said, “Then I won’t quarrel with the fourth brother. I will leave first.”
After that, Li Shili left without looking back. Only then did
Li Shiyu’s face become gloomy. Rong Jiu, who was following him, also slightly twisted his eyebrows. “Your Highness, we have no news about this. If what Your Highness Jiu said is true, it is the empress’s idea.”. After all, the East Palace is really only the queen’s people, can be so free to enter and exit. Otherwise, it will reach the prince the first time.
Rong Jiu is telling the truth.
“And this matter, no matter whether it is related to Miss Mu or not, at least the prince is on Miss Mu’s side in this matter, otherwise there is no need to stop it.” Rong Jiu continued.
This thing happened too suddenly, too inconceivable, but also quickly caught people by surprise, as if in an instant, let Mu Lan no longer have any room for backhand.
But Li Shiyu quieted down and said, “Go to the East Palace first.”
“Yes.” Rong Jiu answered. The pace of the
two people also hurried up.
On the contrary, Li Shi-li took his time to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he was still looking in the direction of Li Shi-yu. Then, Li Shi-li half-smiled and said, “Isn’t that interesting?”? On the surface there is harmony, but behind the scenes there are two people who wish they could kill each other, but could they join hands for a woman? The guards on
one side did not dare to answer.
Outsiders and Li Shili are not familiar, always feel that Li Shili is a very gentle and easy to get along with, but in Li Shili’s side, you can clearly feel what is called accompanying you like accompanying a tiger, you can never guess Li Shili’s idea, the best way to protect oneself is quiet.
Li Shili was also used to the silence of the bodyguard and did not say anything.
And the men who had been sent before had already returned: “Your Highness, the empress’s men have found the witchcraft doll from the East Palace and are waiting for the arrival of the Crown Princess.”
“So you’ve dug a hole and are waiting for Mulan to jump?” Li Shili raised his eyebrows.
After that, Li Shili was quiet, and soon he saw the figure of Li Shiyuan, who was already hurrying in the direction of the Phoenix Palace.
Li Shi-li smiles even more deeply: “It’s really a lively day.”
Then, Li Shili did not say anything, turned around and calmly went to Fengyang Palace. When Mu Lan arrived in
the
Phoenix Luan Palace, he could almost feel the gloomy atmosphere. Even the slaves looked at Mu Lan’s eyes and felt a little more frightened. They wished they could flee to a place three feet away to avoid being suddenly taken in by Mu Lan. The next person to be dug out was himself.
She glanced lightly at the slaves in front of her, and at one glance, the slaves were even more trembling, just short of a spineless soft foot in front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is always calm on the surface.
“Empress, the empress is already waiting for you in the palace.” The little eunuch who led the way seemed to tremble slightly when he spoke. When his voice fell, he did not dare to stay for a moment. He immediately turned around and walked away.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and walked calmly toward Qu Huachang’s bedroom.
This every step, Mu Lan is not impatient, but also without a trace of panic, as if just ordinary to pay their respects in general, and even people can not guess her mood at the moment. In front of
Qu Huachang, Mu Lan invited Ann.
But Qu Huachang did not seem to give Mu Lan a chance to pay his respects, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes are also cold a lot, unlike before the indifference, but a kind of gloom, but in such a gloom, also with a trace of impatience.
Can’t wait to kill Mulan.
Mu Lan is quiet, the surface is still calm.
But this time, Qu Huachang didn’t give Mu Lan time to pay his respects. “Kneel down,” she snapped. Inside the
bedroom, there was no one else except the trusted slave beside Qu Hua’s clothes, and this kneeling down could only be aimed at Mu Lan.
It is more like the present Qu Huachang’s monstrous slavery.
Mu Lan was calm and did not kneel down. Instead, she looked at Qu Huachang calmly and asked lightly, “Mother, what crime did I commit? Let my mother kneel down when she sees me.”. Even if a man dies, he will die, don’t you understand?
Mu Lan asked Qu Huachang, even without a trace of fear in his eyes.
Qu Huachang saw that Mu Lan disobeyed orders, and the coldness in her eyebrows and eyes became deeper and deeper. She knew that Mu Lan had always been difficult to control, but she did not expect that Mu Lan had completely ignored her orders in public.
This is like giving Qu Huachang a slap in the face in public, not giving her any face at all, and putting her dignity in any place.
Just because Li Shiyuan is now spoiling Mu Lan, just because the queen mother is particularly fond of Mu Lan, so Mu Lan can be so presumptuous in front of himself?
If Mu Lan changes an identity, is it still a threat to his present position. When
Qu Huachang thought about this, the anger in her heart became more and more obvious. Every word she said darkly: “Somebody, let the Crown Princess kneel down.” As soon as
Qu Huachang’s words came out, the guards around him did not dare to hesitate and immediately stepped forward.
Just walked to the front of Mu Lan, the bodyguard became a little timid, Mu Lan’s eyes were cold, obviously just alone, obviously this is in the Fengqing Palace, but Mu Lan’s aura is daunting.
The guards are really afraid to do it.
It seems that Mu Lan is more frightening than Qu Huachang.
“Do you not even listen to the commands of your own house?” The servility on Qu Huachang’s face gradually rose. When
the bodyguard came to his senses, he stammered, “Well..” Offended.. The Crown Princess.
Mu Lan smiled coldly, in the face of a person who clearly humiliated himself and embarrassed himself, why should Mu Lan embarrass the slaves in front of him, these people are just obedient.
Besides, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Even Mu Lan did not suspect that if she did not kneel down, Qu Huachang would probably withdraw herself in the next second. As for the reasons for beheading, Qu Huachang can make up countless, any charge can be blocked by people who can not say a word.
Man himself is to live. Kneeling for
a moment does not break anything.
“I myself will kneel.” Mu Lan calmly opened his mouth.
The guards immediately stepped aside.
Mu Lan looked at Qu Huachang, slowly kneeling, Qu Huachang’s heart suddenly tightened, it was a kind of unconscious tension, and seemed to be Mu Lan’s gloomy eyes, completely at a loss.
But Mu Lan knelt on the ground, but his eyes did not dodge. He was very quiet and calm. He said to Qu Huachang, “Mother, in this life, there are almost no people who can make me kneel down.”. If I do something wrong, I am willing to be punished. If I had been wronged, I would not have spared anyone who had wronged Mulan.
“Are you threatening the palace?” Qu Hua’s angry palm tightly grasped the handrail beside him.
Mu Lan did not pay attention to Qu Huachang’s anger, but continued to ask lightly, “Can I know now what crime I committed?”
After that, Qu Huachang sneered and did not give Mu Lan any face.
She looked at the side of the slave, the slave immediately turned around, soon, a few witchcraft dolls appeared in front of everyone, Mu Lan slightly narrowed his eyes.
But Qu Huachang unceremoniously threw these witchcraft dolls in front of him: “How do you explain these things to this palace?”
As if he was really furious.
Mu Lan just took a look and understood.
From the initial disappearance of the slaves, to the successive disappearances, to the discussion in the palace, to the silence of the few days when he returned to the door, and finally to the accident of Mrs. Ann, and then all the missing slaves were found, their causes of death were exactly the same, they were killed in public, and their deaths were tragic and gloomy.
And all the things are tightly linked together, directed at a person, that is, Mulan Ben Zun.
Now the witchcraft doll has been found in Mu Lan’s bedroom. Witchcraft is the most taboo in Dazhou, not to mention in this palace. There were concubines in
the former Dynasty who had used the art of witchcraft. When they were discovered, they implicated nine families and beheaded them in Meridian Gate.
Since then, no one has dared to touch the witchcraft doll.
And now in Mu Lan’s bedroom to find all this, the results can be imagined.
Mu Lan sneers in the heart, looking at Qu Huachang, the coldness in the eyebrows and eyes also follows more and more obvious, Qu Huachang this is to put her to death, there is no chance to turn over.
But Mu Lan also does not feel strange, this is the thing that Qu Huachang does really.
If these slaves are really killed by Mu Lan, so what? Compared with the human life in the hands of Qu Huachang, what is the human life in the hands of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan lowered his mood and looked at Qu Huachang calmly, without any panic because of the witchcraft doll thrown in front of him.
“Mother, these witchcraft dolls are not well known to my concubines.” Mu Lan denied it directly in a few words.
Qu Huachang gave a sneer, as if he had already calculated that Mu Lan would deny it, and the voice was somewhat stern: “My palace has long guessed that you will deny it. These witchcraft dolls were all found in your bedroom. What qualifications do you have to deny it to my palace?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
This series of evidence, hit Mu Lan caught off guard, I am afraid is the moment Mu Lan left the East Palace, Qu Huachang’s people have come, and then search out these so-called evidence, and than their first step to the Phoenix Palace, and she is just the person who automatically jumped into the trap.
But when Qu Huachang saw that Mu Lan did not speak, she sneered, “You think that all the people don’t know everything you are doing.”. You should know that the place you are in is the East Palace, and your words and deeds will affect the prince. The prince is the prince of this palace. How can this palace let you do whatever you want in the East Palace?
Mu Lan nodded, as if quite in agreement.
“If this palace can let you come, it must have absolute witnesses and material evidence.” Qu Huachang said directly, “Even if this palace lets you die, it will let you die clearly.”
The voice fell, and Qu Huachang said darkly, “Hsuan Hua-lien, come in.”
“Yes.” The eunuch’s shrill voice said, “The empress has decreed that Hualien be brought into the temple.”
This, but let Mu Lan some unexpected eyebrows, but such an accident is also reasonable, after all, the entire East Palace, in addition to the lotus fragrance, and no one is on the side of Mu Lan, but are arranged by Li Shiyuan, Li Shiyuan on the side of Quhua clothes is not surprising.
That is not to monitor Li Shiyuan, after all, their mother and son are in a boat, who turned over, no good to anyone.
Mulan quietly wait and see what happens.
And Hualien soon walked in from outside the hall, Mu Lan looked at the past lightly, just one glance, Hualien almost scared legs weak, before the death of the heart is still vivid, but today, Hualien thought of Qu Huachang can make their own decisions, that courage can not help but grow up.
After all, the crown prince is also to give the queen some thin noodles. Thinking this
, Hualien calmly knelt down and said, “Slave Hualien, I’ve seen the empress.”. The Empress is a thousand years old.
“Get up.” “Do you know these things in front of you?” Asked Qu Huachang, brushing her sleeves.
Hualien stood up and looked again at the sorcery doll in front of Mu Lan. With a frightened expression on his face, he immediately lowered his head and said, “I know you.”. When the empress came back, the slave was in charge of tidying up her bedroom. He saw these witchcraft dolls under the empress’s bed, but he didn’t dare to say anything because he was afraid that the empress would kill him. These words
of Hualien, which are both aggrieved and frightened, are really a good play. The coldness in
Mu Lanmei’s eyes also became more and more obvious, as if there was no reaction to Hualien’s words, not to mention any panic and guilt.
Because Mu Lan is very clear, Qu Huachang today is determined to put himself to death, no matter how she quibbles, it is impossible to leave from the hands of Qu Huachang, since the explanation is useless, why waste words.
If she wanted to be safe, she naturally had to think of other ways.
“Now that things are getting bigger, the minions have to say something.” Hualien repeatedly spoke, but did not look at Mu Lan all the way.
When Qu Huachang finished speaking in Hualien, she immediately looked at Mu Lan and said, “Mu Lan, what else do you have to say now?”
Mu Lan looked at Qu Huachang with a half-smile and said, “Mother, can words of a slave condemn my concubine to death?”? If that were the case, my concubine’s life would be worthless. If the word got out, wouldn’t people laugh at me?
“Mulan, you..” Qu Huachang did not expect Mu Lan to be eloquent and did not panic in the face of such a situation.
“Apart from Hualien, who else has seen these things in my concubine’s bedroom?” Mu Lan asked again, “If not, Hualien alone cannot constitute a certification. After all, Hualien alone has the final say in both life and death. I should be curious to ask, who did Hualien accept to testify so brazenly against me?”
Mu Lan’s tone is still cold, looking at Hualien, unexpectedly also not angry, that kind of cold smile makes people shiver to the bottom of their hearts.
“Mulan, you’re dying without repentance.” Qu Huachang threw the cup in his hand angrily.
“Mother, since someone wants to put Mulan to death, when will there be a chance for Mulan to repent?” Mu Lan asked lightly.
Qu Huachang was unable to speak by Mu Lan, when his face was swept away like this, you know, in front of such a thing, anyone who sees the first time has been soft hands and feet, whether it is really wrong, or false.
Only Mu Lan is fearless.
Qu Huachang really doesn’t believe that Mu Lan can be so unscrupulous.
She could get Mu Lan here, but how could she give Mu Lan any chance to break free? She sneered, “Mu Lan, I can’t see you in the palace without seeing the coffin.”. Somebody, lock up the Crown Princess in this palace and send her to the prison.
Mu Lan did not stand up, still straightened his spine, as if waiting for someone to take him away.
And the side of the bodyguard looked at each other, but really dare not immediately come forward to start.
“Don’t do it yet.” Qu Huachang roared out. The
guards quickly stepped forward, and just then the eunuch’s shrill voice came from outside the palace: “The Empress Dowager has arrived.”
All of a sudden, Qu Huachang twisted his eyebrows. How could
Qu Huachang not know the queen mother’s love for Mu Lan? She was supposed to put Mu Lan in prison before the queen mother came, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Sink, Qu Huachang some passive, have not had time to react, the queen mother has come in, the pace has never been fast.
When she entered the temple, the queen mother saw Mu Lan kneeling on the ground. And the witchcraft doll in front of Mu Lan.
The queen mother’s eyebrows twisted up, and when she looked at Mu Lan again, her eyes were a little more complicated.
Although not many people in the palace knew about it, the queen mother was the queen mother after all, and it was impossible to know nothing about it, so as soon as she got the news, she came to Fengqing Palace, because the queen mother did not believe that Mu Lan would do such a thing.
But seeing the witchcraft doll in front of Mu Lan, the queen mother was not calm.
Whether true or false, such a thing in the palace, Mu Lanbi implicated, let the queen mother can not accept, not to mention, the queen mother or witnessed the former Dynasty, the matter of witchcraft dolls.
The queen mother’s mood also began to rise and fall.
“I have seen my mother.” Qu Huachang got up and invited Ann, and then welcomed the queen mother into the throne in person.
“What the hell is going on?” The queen mother asked in a deep voice.
Qu Huachang did not give Mu Lan opportunity to open his mouth, has been preconceived to explain the cause and effect, the queen mother’s face changed, immediately looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is calm, always do not change color.
“Crown Princess, is all this true?” The queen mother asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan looked at the Empress Dowager very lightly and said, “Report to the Empress, I have been convicted of this kind of thing. Whether it is true or not, it is very difficult for me to turn over a new leaf.”
The queen mother did not speak.
It really is.
In the big week, for the witchcraft, there is no need for any reason, would rather kill by mistake, it is impossible to let go, to avoid disaster.
Including when Li Changtian ascended the throne, all the witches in the big week had been exterminated, leaving no room at all.
This is the rule laid down by the ancestors, no matter who, as long as it involves the art of witchcraft, there is no room to turn over.
“Mu Lan.” Qu Huachang suddenly said, “I will let you die for nothing.”
Mu Lan smiled faintly, did not answer, did not refute, just looked at Qu Huachang like this.
Qu Huachang hated Mu Lan’s reaction and attitude, as if everything had nothing to do with Mu Lan, but she was framed.
Qu Huachang gave a sneer, then ignored Mu Lan and looked at the Empress Dowager: “Mother, since you are here, I can’t deal with this matter, but what Mu Lan has done is absolutely intolerable to Dazhou.”. Even if Mu Lan is my concubine’s daughter-in-law, my concubine will not be soft-hearted.
This is a clear expression of attitude.
The queen mother did not speak.
No matter how much she liked Mulan, the Empress Dowager could not speak for Mulan in such a matter. In the end, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said, “This is a matter for the Empress to deal with. The Ai family will not ask.”
“Yes.” Qu Huachang answered.
When the queen mother’s voice fell, Qu Huachang looked at Mu Lan sullenly, and in this attitude, she told Mu Lan clearly that she had no room to turn over.
Even if the queen mother who liked her very much came from Fengluan Palace, it was impossible to support Mu Lan.
Qu Huachang thought he could see Mu Lan’s panicked appearance
, but Qu Huachang did not expect that Mu Lan was still calm and frightening, completely unaffected by the current situation.
“Mulan, you don’t shed tears until you see the coffin, do you?” Qu Huachang’s tone also sank.
Mu Lan smiles faintly: “Since Mu Lan is innocent, why should he see the coffin?”
“Okay.” Qu Huachang is really angry and can’t say a word.
Just then, the bodyguard hurried in from outside the Fengqing Palace and knelt down in front of the crowd. “My subordinates have seen the empress and the empress Dowager.”
“Get up and speak.” Said Qu Huachang in a deep voice.
The bodyguard stood up and said, “According to the wishes of the empress, my subordinates went to the place where these slaves had an accident and found a lot of witchcraft dolls in the west wing.”. Also, there are places where slaves have had accidents, and they all have the eight characters of their birthdays engraved on them, with the name of the Crown Princess at the bottom.
A word, and let the people in Fengqing Palace face surprised change, the queen mother looked at Mu Lan’s eyes more complex, there is a trace of disappointment.
This witchcraft is the most sinister of the former Dynasty, and it is the technique of the Ji family. The eight characters of the birthday of the person you want to kill are on
the witchcraft doll. The blood of the innocent person is used to sign a contract with the resentful ghost. After the death of the other person, he can no longer be born. He can only wander in the world from generation to generation, be a lonely ghost, and eventually lose his soul. After
Ji’s family was beheaded, Dazhou never saw it again, but now he saw it in Mu Lan’s hands.
Those witchcraft dolls that were searched out were also in front of Qu Huachang.
Qu Huachang accurately found a witchcraft doll from inside, which was made by imitating the appearance of Mu Zhi’s painting, and the eight characters of the birthday on it were also painted by Mu Zhi.
“Mulan, are you trying to frame your own sister?” Qu Huachang is so angry that she can’t control herself. “How can you quibble now? You know, you were the only one who lived in the west wing at that time. Now these things have been found in the west wing, and these things were not just made. It’s obvious that they have been there for a period of time. No one lives in the west wing, and these things are covered with dust.”
Mu Lan is lazy to defend himself.
“Besides, the bodies of the minions were found near there.” The coldness on Qu Huachang’s face became more and more obvious. Then she looked at the queen mother and said, “Mother, you can’t keep such a person.”
The queen mother did not speak.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, was faced with such a situation and said frankly, “Mother, even if it is the west wing, is it necessary for my concubine to release it?”? If I want to put them, I should put them in a hidden place. Even if the west wing is covered with dust, how can these dolls be covered with dust? Undaunted,
Mu Lan asked in reply, “Even if those people were the ones I dug my heart out of, and I was in the East Palace all day and never left, how could I have the time to dig my heart out?”
“You are a treacherous man, and you are still arguing.” Qu Huachang stood up and walked step by step to Mu Lan. “Do you still need to show up in person for the witchcraft?”
“Then my concubine was convicted. Since my mother didn’t give my concubine any chance to explain, why did she have to put on such a play here?” Mu Lan asked calmly.
“Mu Lan.” The queen mother suddenly opened her mouth. When
Mu Lan faced the Empress Dowager, he calmed down a lot: “My concubine is here.”
“The Ai family will let the empress get to the bottom of this.” The Empress Dowager said, word for word, “If you are innocent, then the Ai family will find someone behind the scenes and give you an explanation. If you did this, then no one can protect you.”
“The Empress Dowager is a wise judge.” Mu Lan answered.
Qu Huachang looked at the Empress Dowager with some uneasiness. She immediately opened her mouth and said, “Mother, Dazhou has never forgiven such a thing. If witchcraft is really allowed to prevail, it will not be good for Dazhou. Besides, the prince commits the same crime as the common people..”
“All right.” The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, “Let’s put Mulan in prison first. We’ll take a long view of other things.”
The queen mother opened her mouth, Qu Huachang nature is not good to disobey the queen mother, but she did not expect that the queen mother finally gave Mu Lan leeway, not the first time set the death penalty of Mu Lan, but also just put Mu Lan into prison.
But soon Qu Huachang calmed down. As long as
Mu Lan is in prison, Qu Huachang has the ability to let Mu Lan have no room to turn over.
But this matter goes to the present, Mu Lan does not die also wants to die.
She won’t give Mulan any chance to bite back.
Qu Huachang’s eyes cold down, looking at Mu Lan, with a trace of murder, but Mu Lan is very calm to look at Qu Huachang, like a smile, as if sure that he can get up from this chaos, even do not need to care about Qu Huachang’s words and deeds.
Qu Huachang gave a sneer, and then, without changing her countenance, she said, “I would like to obey the Queen Mother’s instructions.”
The queen mother said nothing more and shook her head.
“Somebody, lock Mulan up in the prison.” Qu Huachang spoke in a harsh voice.
The bodyguard did not dare to hesitate, but immediately stepped forward and set up Mu Lan: “Empress, I have offended you.”
Mu Lan is calm: “You don’t have to carry this palace. This palace can walk by itself.”
The bodyguard really let go, it is an obvious feeling, as if as long as close to Mu Lan, you can not help but be led by Mu Lan, more dare not disobey Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan saw the bodyguard let go of his hand, nodded his head, as if he had come, straightened his spine, and quietly headed out of the Fengqing Palace.
When walking out of the Fengqing Palace, Mu Lan glanced lightly at Qu Hua’s clothes, with countless deep meanings in his eyebrows and eyes.
Qu Huachang actually felt creepy.
From the beginning of her sitting in the back seat, no one will give Qu Huachang such a feeling, Mu Lan is the first.
Her breathing followed, as if it was anger, but Qu Huachang knew very well that it was a kind of fear, reading Mu Lan’s fear.
It was not until Mu Lan left completely that Qu Huachang’s fear gradually calmed down.
The queen mother had no intention of leaving.
“Mother, I know you like Mu Lan. I’ll get to the bottom of this. I won’t let Mu Lan feel wronged. But if it’s Mu Lan, I won’t let it go.”
The queen mother did not speak.
Whether or not, the final result, the queen mother’s heart has been known, and this matter, even if the queen mother wants to speak for Mu Lan, but there is no position to open.
Finally, the Empress Dowager stood up with a sigh and said, “All right, the Empress will handle this.”
“Yes.” Qu Huachang answered.
Just as the Empress Dowager was about to leave, the eunuch outside the palace came and announced, “Empress, the prince is here.”
Qu Huachang’s eyebrows twisted. Li Shiyuan came at this time, which made Qu Huachang feel a little uneasy.
After all, Li Shiyuan’s love for Mu Lan was clearly seen by all the people in the palace.
Previously, the accompanying girl contradicted Mu Lan, ignoring the existence of Mu Lan, and the final result was sent to the steamer by Li Shiyuan.
Steamer is a form of torture.
Li Shiyuan in the crown prince’s position, in fact, rarely so fair and aboveboard torture, after all, Li Shiyuan or to the external image, a benevolent crown prince, rather than ferocious.
But Mu Lan let Li Shiyuan do it.
Qu Huachang is not calm, but Qu Huachang did not show anything on the surface. When
the queen mother heard Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan coming, she stopped to leave, frowning slightly, and soon Li Shiyuan’s figure had already entered the palace.
Li Shiyuan took a trace of gloom, and the air pressure in Fengqing Palace dropped a few minutes.
……
Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan did not enter the Fengqing Palace together, in addition to avoid suspicion not to let Li Shiyuan suspect, the more reason is that Li Shiyu saw Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was taken away by the guards, and that direction was the location of the prison.
Li Shiyu sank and then walked in the direction of Mu Lan. Naturally,
he walked up to Mu Lan and stopped her. “Second wife, where are you going?”
Li Shiyu did not know the appearance at all.
Mu Lan’s footsteps were forced to stop, the side of the bodyguard saw Li Shiyu, looked at each other for a moment, do not know what to say.
Mu Lan did not answer Li Shiyu’s question. Only then did
the bodyguard answer, “Your Highness, the slaves are sending the Crown Princess to the prison.”
“What happened?” Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows.
The bodyguard had calmed down and said, “These things are not clear to the subordinates. They are the orders of the empress. The subordinates are just following orders.”
In the palace, what should be said, what should not be said, they know better than anyone, this kind of thing did not draw a conclusion before, they naturally can not say, besides, Mu Lan’s identity is here, a careless, intentional person may implicate Li Shiyuan.
“So?” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan in silence.
Mu Lan is calm.
Li Shiyu did not say much to Mu Lan, but his eyes never left Mu Lan’s body, with a trace of appeasement, looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan read the meaning of this person from Li Shiyu’s eyes, and she smiled faintly, as if she had not become embarrassed because of the present situation.
Such calm, let Li Shiyu quiet, at least that kind of anxious feeling, but also by Mu Lan gradually smoothed.
And the bodyguard on one side had already spoken again: “Your Highness, the slaves are only doing what they are ordered to do. Please don’t make things difficult for Your Highness.” The implication
is to let Li Shiyu get out of the way, they want to take Mu Lan to the prison, during this period if anything goes wrong, any one of them will fall.
Li Shiyu nodded, said nothing, and calmly retreated to one side.
Mu Lan took his line of sight from Li Shiyu without any trace, and then followed the bodyguard in the direction of the prison.
Li Shiyu stood in place, negative hand and stand, not a moment of watching, until Mu Lan’s figure disappeared from his front, Li Shiyu turned toward the direction of Fengqing Palace.
This matter can be big or small.
When you enter the prison, many things become uncontrollable.
Li Shiyu’s mind quickly flashed through all kinds of ideas, but finally in the moment of entering the Fengqing Palace, it was extinguished clean.
This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run, and they can’t afford to pay for any impulse.
As a result, Li Shiyu did not expect that after he entered Fengqing Palace, some things were beyond his expectation, as if all this had become more complicated.
…… Inside
the Fengqing Palace.
Qu Huachang looked at Li Shiyuan hurriedly, his face did not ease, and the queen mother also slightly twisted eyebrows, looked at Li Shiyuan. Without paying his respects,
Li Shiyuan opened his mouth and said, “Mother, I want to know when this happened. Why did Mother have Mu Lan taken away from the East Palace and now he’s still in prison?”
“See for yourself.” Qu Huachang seemed to have a headache and didn’t want to say anything more to Li Shiyuan. When
Li Shiyuan saw the witchcraft doll on the ground, his face changed, and he obviously did not expect such a thing to happen.
I always thought that Mu Lan had offended Qu Huachang.
Qu Huachang, after all, likes a woman who is as considerate and sensible as Mu Zhihua and knows how to please others, not a woman who is as cold and arrogant as Mu Lan.
Plus this period of time in the palace to Mu Lan’s gossip, but also can let Qu Huachang find to Mu Lan unhappy place, but Li Shiyuan never thought, unexpectedly will be the matter of witchcraft.
But even if he saw these witchcraft dolls, Li Shiyuan did not believe that this was done by Mu Lan.
This is better than death of those slaves, said that Mu Lan is a witch, specialized in eating heart, but also let Li Shiyuan feel incredible, Mu Lan is now almost a person who can call for wind and rain, and even his shelter all the way, no matter what Mu Lan wants to do, there is no need to do these things without brains.
So, is this a deliberate act?
Li Shi-yuan’s eyes darkened: “Mother, I don’t believe Mu Lan would do such a thing.”
“Do you still want to protect the witch when the evidence is before you?” Qu Huachang asked Li Shiyuan in a harsh voice, “Prince, you are the prince of the court. Don’t you know what these mean?”? Is Mulan from your East Palace, your Crown Princess, or the one you insist on marrying? You should know that if these things are related to Mulan, it will be a disaster for you.
Qu Huachang hated that iron did not become steel, and between the lines he had already convicted Mu Lan: The most taboo of our Dazhou is the art of witchcraft. Have you forgotten how the late emperor exterminated the Ji clan? What price have we paid, and now you come and tell me that you don’t believe this?
In Qu Huachang’s aggressiveness, Li Shiyuan should not speak, so he can only look at Qu Huachang passively.
But Li Shi-yuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. When he calmed down, he said, “Mother, this is a big deal. With Mu Lan’s identity there, is it appropriate to put people in prison?”.
This matter has already been decided by this palace. Mu Lan was not executed immediately, just for the sake of the East Palace and Lord Mu. You should know that in all the Dynasties of the Zhou Dynasty, this kind of thing was not allowed to happen. It would rather be killed by mistake than let it go. Mu Lan did not grow up in the Prince’s Palace. She has been outside for many years. Who can guarantee that Mu Lan is clean?
Qu Huachang speaks plausibly. Everyone in Kyoto knows
this very well.
“I believe in Lord Mu, but I don’t believe in people outside.” Qu Huachang spoke directly, looking at the prince with sharp eyes. “Prince, I hope you put the overall situation first and don’t act recklessly. You can’t afford such a price.”
This is a warning to Li Shiyuan. Seeing this,
Li Shiyuan swallowed the words on his lips.
In the face of such so-called facts, Li Shiyuan can not stand, let alone defend Mu Lan, if something really happened, or Qu Huachang insisted on finding trouble with Mu Lan, he would only implicate himself.
But
Li Shiyuan sank, and then quieted down: “I know. I will follow my mother’s teachings.”
Qu Huachang heard Li Shiyuan no longer speak for Mu Lan, this is gradually relieved, she is really afraid that Li Shiyuan was bewitched by Mu Lan’s beauty, to do irreparable things. The atmosphere in
the Fengqing Palace also sank.
The queen mother didn’t say anything.
“Prince.” Qu Huachang called him in front of Li Shiyuan and wanted to knock on him.
And at this time, the eunuch to report, said Li Shiyu came, Qu Huachang eyebrows a twist, flashed a trace of impatience, for Li Shiyu, Qu Huachang is only the surface of the gentle, after all, Li Shiyu is not his own prince.
Plus this period of time, the emperor always summoned Li Shiyu, which made Qu Huachang even more dissatisfied with Li Shiyu.
But on the surface, Qu Huachang could not do anything, after all, as long as Li Shiyu was in the palace, he would come to pay his respects to himself at about this time every day.
When Li Shiyuan heard Li Shiyu coming, he twisted his eyebrows slightly and said nothing. His mind had been taken away by all the things about Mu Lan, and all he thought about was how to deal with Mu Lan.
Li Shiyu also did not have the guard these days. When
Li Shiyu calmly entered, he saw the situation in the palace and quieted down. He paid his usual respects: “I’ve seen the Empress Dowager, the Empress.”
“Rise up.” Qu Huachang did not deal with Li Shiyu’s mind.
Li Shiyu is very sensible to get up, also did not ask a word more, stand quietly, as usual.
But Li Shiyu did not know whether it was because the queen mother was there or something else, but he did not leave after paying his respects as usual.
Qu Huachang can’t say anything.
Li Shiyu’s eyes fell on the witchcraft doll on the ground, quiet for a long time. Apart from
anything else, the word “Lan” above is not written by Mu Lan.
Although the imitation is lifelike.
But when Mu Lan writes this word, still have subtle difference, if not be the person that knows Mu Lan very well, do not see the difference among them. What
Li Shiyu sees most often is Mu Lan’s signature.
So it’s impossible for Li Shiyu not to recognize it.
This matter no matter who is framing Mu Lan, is a little sure, big week for such a thing, always would rather kill by mistake, will not let go.
And this person behind the scenes, I am afraid will not give Mu Lan opportunity to turn against the water, Mu Lan into the prison, even tonight can not survive.
Thinking of this, Li Shiyu’s face sank slightly.
He looked at Li Shiyuan without a trace.
Li Shiyuan’s eyes are also a little heavy, I do not know is Mu Lan, or because of this matter implicated in the East Palace.
However, even if Mu Lan is convicted, and the East Palace actually does not have much relationship, after all, Mu Lan has just ascended the position of Crown Princess, Li Shiyuan as long as a word can pick all this and their own clean.
Besides, it was Qu Huachang’s people who discovered it.
So
Li Shiyu had already figured everything out in an instant. I’m afraid
this has something to do with Qu Huachang, but Li Shiyu knows exactly who Qu Huachang is. If Qu Huachang dares to do it, he won’t leave any clues, which means that the charge of Mu Lan is settled. It’s hard
to turn over.
Even if turned over, Li Shiyuan is standing on the side of Mu Lan, once found that the mastermind behind the scenes is Qu Huachang, will inevitably stop the investigation, and then erase everything. Between
Qu Huachang and Mu Lan, Li Shiyuan undoubtedly chose Qu Huachang. The fall of
Qu Huachang did not do Li Shiyuan any good.
This thing is a little tricky.
Li Shiyu was quiet for a moment. Then he said, “Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, I have something to do in the mansion, so I’ll leave first.”
Qu Huachang did not pay much attention to Li Shiyu, but Li Shiyu did not mind, and then quietly retreated. Although
Li Shiyuan did not leave, he did not say anything. The atmosphere
of Fengqing Palace became more and more gloomy, but the queen mother did not stay much, shook her head, and left Fengqing Palace with the help of Mammy.
Soon, only Li Shiyuan and Qu Huachang were left in the front hall.
“Prince, you must know who you are. You must know how difficult it has been for you to get to where you are now. Don’t ruin things for a woman.”
“I know.” Li Shiyuan answered.
“It’s good to know.” Qu Huachang nodded, “This matter of Mu Lan will naturally be handled by this palace, and it will not implicate the East Palace and you.”
Li Shiyuan hum, also do not know is to listen to or did not listen to, but in front of Qu Huachang, Li Shiyuan is still respectful.
Qu Huachang saw that Li Shiyuan did not resist, nodded, and also followed the heart a little wider. Only then did
Li Shiyuan say, “Mother, I still have something important to do, so I won’t bother you here.”
“Go.” Qu Huachang waved his hand and said nothing.
So a toss down, is really tired, obviously did not do anything, but it seems that the dialogue with Mu Lan, can let Qu Hua exhausted. An indescribable
feeling.
But the fear of Mulan is growing. The idea in
Qu Huachang’s heart also followed more and more clearly, and soon she turned and walked toward her bedroom. The gloom
in Fengqing Palace has not dissipated for a long time.
……
Mu Lan was imprisoned in prison, soon the first time spread, but why Mu Lan was imprisoned, not many people know the details. The slaves of
the Fengqing Palace and the East Palace have naturally been banned, and no one dares to say more about this kind of thing at this time.
And Mu Lan just sat on the crown princess position, even did not sit firmly, there was such a thing, people can not help but feel surprised, Mu Hongyuan know this matter, shocked a word can not say.
Subconsciously, Mu Hongyuan’s idea, like Li Shiyuan’s, was that he did not believe that Mu Lan would do such a thing.
But the facts are in front of us.
Mu Hongyuan also looked anxious.
You know, Mu Lan really had an accident, Mu Wangfu will also be implicated, even if Mu Hongyuan can pick himself clean from this matter, but ultimately left a hidden danger in, at any time will be taken out to say things. How could
Mu Hongyuan let such a thing happen.
He twisted his eyebrows and walked around the palace quickly, but in the end he couldn’t think of a good way.
Soon, Mu Hongyuan sank, restrained the mood of anxiety, directly let people prepare a carriage, quickly into the palace, he is going to find Li Shiyuan.
…… When Li Shiyuan came back from Fengqing Palace in
the East Palace, he didn’t go anywhere, so he went directly to Mu Zhihua’s bedroom. Mu Zhihua was confined, and the door was closed, but it didn’t mean that Mu Zhihua didn’t know what was happening outside.
But specific things, Mu Zhihua is not clear, know that people died in the palace, these people are offended Mu Lan. Mu Zhihua panicked when he
heard the news. I’m afraid that the next person who has an accident is myself.
Especially when Mrs. Ann had an accident that night and the slave beside her came back to describe it vividly, Mu Zhihua simply shuddered.
She threw up on the edge of the bed until she was exhausted.
Even the baby in the belly seems to be unstable, overnight the imperial doctor came again, and then Mu Zhihua dare not listen to anything related to Mu Lan, for fear of affecting himself again.
And Mu Zhihua did not expect that Li Shiyuan would come to his bedroom in person today. When
Mu Zhihua came to his senses, he was a little surprised, but because he did not have any dressing now, and even looked a little heavy, he was even more annoyed.
“I have seen your Highness.” Mu Zhihua still paid his respects.
But because of pregnancy, Mu Zhihua did not kneel down, just blessed the body. But before Mu Zhihua could say anything more, Li Shiyuan’s gloomy eyes came over.
Mu Zhihua was somewhat frightened: Your Highness. Do you know what the painting has done wrong?
“What did the king say before?” Li Shiyuan asked Mu Zhihua word by word.
Mu Chih-hua wasn’t stupid, and she immediately thought of what was happening to Mu Lan. Her face changed, and she retreated subconsciously, explaining: “Chih-hua was put under house arrest by Your Highness in the bedroom, and the door didn’t go out. Chih-hua had only a smattering of knowledge about what was happening outside, so Chih-hua didn’t know why Your Highness suddenly said this to Chih-hua.”
Her voice was soft and aggrieved, and her beautiful big eyes were already full of fog: “Your Highness, I really don’t know what the painting has done. Please let your Highness know.”
Li Shiyuan did not speak and looked sullenly at Mu Zhihua.
As if to see if Mu Zhihua’s words were true or false.
But in the end, Li Shiyuan said nothing but a somber warning: “Mu Zhihua, you should behave yourself in your bedroom. Don’t do anything to make the king unhappy. Otherwise, the king will not be soft-hearted.”
“I know.” Mu Zhihua answered.
Li Shiyuan did not want to turn around to go, but Mu Zhihua very not easy to see Li Shiyuan, how can easily let Li Shiyuan go, she did not want to come forward, clasped Li Shiyuan’s hand.
“Your Highness, won’t you stay with me?” Mu Zhihua softened his voice and begged Li Shiyuan.
But Li Shiyuan has always stood indifferently, and did not mean to stay, Mu Zhihua knows Li Shiyuan’s mind, this person’s mind is now all on Mu Lan’s body, the slightest bit will not be given to themselves.
Had it not been for the fact that he was under house arrest in his bedroom today, no matter what happened to Mu Lan now, Li Shiyuan would have put it on his head. How could
Mu Zhihua be reconciled.
But Li Shiyuan had no intention of staying: “Let go, the king still has something important to do.”
This is already a warning.
Mu Chih-hua, however, didn’t want to let go. He even took a step forward and said softly, “Your Highness, I’ve already got a clue about what I asked someone to investigate before, and I’ve sent it to my concubine.”
This, let Li Shiyuan’s eyes slightly narrowed up, looking at Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua was even more aggrieved: “My concubine is only devoted to Your Highness, but Your Highness has not looked at my concubine at all. My concubine is still pregnant with Your Highness’s prince. Can’t Your Highness give me some time?”
Mu Zhihua pasted Li Shiyuan with a pitiful appearance.
“Where is it?” Li Shiyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Mu Chih-hua didn’t hide it either: “Your Highness, you wait, and I’ll help you get it.”
Then, Mu Zhihua went into the bedroom, followed by Li Shiyuan. Soon, Mu Zhihua took a sheepskin roll from the bottom of the cabinet and handed it to Li Shiyuan.
Li Shiyuan took it.
“This is one of the maps. The others are already in your hands. I should know what the last map is soon. I’ll tell your Highness then.”
Mu Zhihua’s voice is soft.
But Li Shi-yuan, who was still gloomy about Mu Chih-hua, suddenly changed his attitude and became more gentle: “My beloved concubine has worked hard.”. The king is waiting for the last map of his beloved concubine. The situation in the palace has been unstable recently. My beloved concubine is pregnant. It’s safest to stay in the palace. The king will handle other things.
“Your Highness, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Can you stay and have dinner with me? I’m so lonely.” Mu Zhihua opened his mouth at the right time.
She did not go to ask before Li Shiyuan’s attitude, she just went on to say. Even if
Li Shiyuan has no desire to continue to fight now, but for the sake of the map, that is the key to finding the imperial seal, Li Shiyuan finally stayed.
The bedroom was very busy for a while.
It was not until lunch was over that Li Shiyuan left. Although
Mu Zhihua was unwilling, he did not show it on the surface, but sent Li Shiyuan away.
Li Shiyuan left in a hurry and hid the map in the secret room again. Then he left the East Palace quickly. Li Shiyuan was still thinking about Mu Lan. He came to Mu Zhihua just to test him. Whether Mu Zhihua spoke or not, Li Shiyuan knew it clearly.
Mu Zhihua really didn’t know about it. Who did
this? Would he do this? Li Shiyuan’s eyes sank. He found Ying Wei. Ying Wei came in a hurry.
Li Shi-yuan ordered in a deep voice, “Send someone from the Heaven Prison to watch. Don’t let anything happen. Let the king investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“Yes.” Ying Wei took the order and left.
And Li Shiyuan hurried back to the Royal Dragon Palace.
…… Inside the
Phoenix Luan Palace.
The queen mother returned to the Fengqing Palace with a sullen face, but the slave who followed her did not dare to speak. When Maggie saw the queen mother coming back, she went up to meet her, but the pace was not so steady. Mei Ji had more or less heard the rumors about what had happened in the
Feng Luan Palace. Looking
again at the thick and gloomy face, she naturally knew why the Empress Dowager was unhappy. She sighed silently and went to the Empress Dowager’s side: “The slave has seen the Empress.”
“All right, don’t pay your respects to the family of Ai. Your legs are not good.” The queen mother stopped him. “Come, give me a seat.”
The little eunuch soon moved the stool, Meiji thanked him and sat down. She looked at the slaves on one side. The slaves immediately retreated, leaving only Meiji and the queen mother in the bedroom.
“Look at all this.” The queen mother took the lead in opening her mouth, apparently still difficult to accept.
Maggie frowned, and after a while she said quietly, “I don’t know if I should say something.”
“Is there anything to say or not to say? Do you and the Ai family still pay attention to this?” The queen mother twisted her eyebrows.
Then Meiji said slowly, “In the eyes of the slave, the Crown Princess doesn’t look like a person who does this kind of thing. With the slave’s understanding of people, even if the Crown Princess really wants to do something, it’s fair and aboveboard, and she won’t use such dark means.”
The queen mother’s brows twisted up. The empress has been in
this palace all her life, and she knows all these tricks. The slave has always felt that it was the Crown Princess who was favored, or that someone’s interests had been touched, and that this was the reason why someone had killed her. After all, everyone in the palace knows very well that Dachou would rather be killed by mistake than let go of this kind of thing. Maggie said what she thought calmly.
She looked at the queen mother, but she couldn’t have looked more serious. “I’m afraid we’ll have to take a long view on this matter.”. The identity of the Crown Princess is there, and there are too many people to be implicated. Not to mention the matter of the East Palace, Mu Wang Fu is also a trouble. Look at the death of Lady Ann. The Ann family can make such a fuss, not to mention the matter of the Crown Princess.
「……」
Ten thousand steps back, if the maidservant is the empress, she doesn’t have to get angry with the slave. Doesn’t the empress know that she has just ascended to the position of Crown Princess, and that it’s absolutely no good for her to make a lot of trouble? Other people, the minion dare not say, but the Crown Princess, the minion can be sure that she is definitely not such a brainless person.
「……」
What’s more, a mere Lady An, why should the Empress have done it herself and let Lady An die so foolishly in the East Palace. If you really want to talk about the one who has a problem with the empress, don’t everyone know it? “Although those witchcraft dolls were found in the west wing, it is even more doubtful,” she reminded the queen mother.
Maggie paused. The queen mother narrowed her eyes and looked at Maggie. “What do you mean?” The Crown Princess was really the only one who lived in the
west wing. But the empress left the west wing before and after the Hungry Ghost Festival. Did the empress make a special trip back? Later, there were very few cases of the empress going to the palace. Maggie raised a crucial question.
The queen mother’s face also sank, before the chaos, really did not let people think of these details. Under the suppression of Qu Huachang,
Mu Lan’s defense eventually became silent.
Because Mulan didn’t have any chance to defend himself.
“And..” Mei Ji went on to say, “It was only during this period that the Crown Princess married into the palace. Most of the time she was in the East Palace. Even if the witchcraft dolls in the East Palace, what about those scattered all over the palace?”? How did the empress let it go? Is this not worth pondering?
Mei Ji is clearer than anyone else: “It is impossible for the Crown Princess to be familiar with every corner of the palace during this period of time.”. Even if the slaves had been in the palace for decades, they wouldn’t necessarily go to many places, so naturally they wouldn’t be familiar with them, let alone the Crown Princess.
「……」
Besides, those witchcraft dolls were placed in the bedrooms of many concubines in the palace, and when the slaves received them, they were just deceiving people. Slaves do not understand, the Crown Princess is the head of the East Palace, the future is the empress, and what is the significance of the emperor’s concubines in the past? Even if you really don’t want to get through, it should be with the concubines in the East Palace, shouldn’t it?
……
Maggie spoke slowly, but carefully analyzed the rules of the matter, and then Maggie stopped talking and looked quietly at the queen mother. What
needs to be said has been said.
Say this, just out of love for Mulan.
That was Maggie’s instinct, instinctively feeling that Mulan could not do such a thing.
But more words, Maggie also know can not say, in this palace, if not careful, may be self-immolation. After the
queen mother gradually calmed down, she really listened to Maggie’s words, and her face became thoughtful. When she looked at Maggie
again, the queen mother said slowly, “What do you think we should do about this?”
“This is a dead end.” Maggie shook her head. “Dazhou can’t stand such a thing.”. Therefore, even if we know that there is a flaw, as the slave said, it is only a guess, and there is no evidence. Unless the Crown Princess can find evidence to prove her innocence, everything will be in vain.
The other side obviously grasped this point.
It is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
This is a plot that has been premeditated for a long time, for Mu Lan.
The Empress Dowager did not speak again. Finally she stood up and changed the subject. “All right, Mei Ji, the Ai family will think about this. Don’t worry about you. In two days, the Ai family will send someone to take you to the mansion. You take care of your legs. The Ai family is still waiting for you to come back and take care of the Ai family.”
“Yes.” Maggie answered.
Then the queen mother turned and walked toward the house, only with a close slave, who did not let go in.
Maggie just looked at it.
This matter, she can only try her best to say here, as for the result, it really depends on Mu Lan’s good fortune.
Finally, Maggie looked down and sighed. The atmosphere in
the Fengluan Palace seemed to sink slightly.
……
After Mu Lan was locked up in the prison, Li Shiyu left Fengqing Palace and hurried away in the direction of the prison at the first time, followed by Rong Temple.
“Your Highness, it’s not appropriate for you to go to the prison like this.” Rong Jiu opened his mouth and persuaded Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not speak, nor did he stop.
Rong Jiu finally sighed and did not speak again. Knowing that he could not change Li Shiyu’s idea, as long as he met Mu Lan, Li Shiyu would be less calm.
As if, gambling on their own everything, Li Shiyu also at all costs in general.
Today this matter, not necessarily has been to the emperor that, if the emperor knows, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan have contacts, no matter which point, Li Shiyu can not escape responsibility.
And now, really is not the best time to tell the world, will only involve more things.
“Has the Dark Guard gone out?” Li Shiyu asked.
“Scattered out.” Yung Chiu answered, still in a hurry. “But it’s hard to find clues for a while. The other side has pinched all the clues clean, and apart from the dirty water splashed on Miss Mu, there are no more clues.”
This is actually a reasonable thing.
Obviously, the person behind the scenes has a very high number of paragraphs.
Li Shiyu strode along, listening to Rong Jiu’s words. Then he said, “Find someone to investigate the empress.”
Rong Jiu hesitated, but did not retort: “The slave knows.”. But this phoenix Luan palace, I’m afraid it’s even more difficult to check. There are too few of us in the Feng-luan Palace and the East Palace, and even if we go in, it’s not the empress’s trusted followers.
“Check the outside for clues.” Li Shiyu said in a deep voice, “Give him a taste of his own medicine.”
Rong Jiu soon came to his senses: “Your Highness suspects the empress?”
“Even if it’s not the queen’s doing, drag the queen into the water.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Rong Jiu did not open his mouth again and understood what Li Shiyu meant.
The queen in the harem, Li Shiyu can suspect the queen, this matter naturally and the queen can not get rid of the relationship, no matter whether the queen did, according to their plan, also really want to pull the queen into the water.
Because the queen is Li Shiyuan’s most powerful backer, as long as the queen fell, more or less will be implicated in the East Palace. And the autumn sacrifice line, a lot of things become convenient.
Just pull Qu Huachang dismount, where is such an easy thing.
It is very likely to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight thousand.
“If you can’t drag yourself into the water, you want to make the queen’s position unstable.” Li Shiyu went on to say, “My father’s body can’t hold out for a long time. If we can’t let the empress join hands with the people of the East Palace, we’ll be in big trouble.”
Li Shiyu explained in a low voice, and Rong Jiu nodded.
But Li Shiyu no longer said much, two people soon arrived at the day prison, but when approaching the day prison, Li Shiyu sank, the footsteps soon stopped.
Rong Jiu has also noticed it. Days
of prison guards have been replaced, all replaced by Qu Huachang people, they want to enter silently, it seems much more difficult, too easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Li Shiyu looked at Rong Jiu.
Rong Jiu nodded his head and soon made a noise, attracting the attention of the guards, while Li Shiyu took advantage of the situation to enter the prison and quickly found the place where Mu Lan was detained.
Mu Lan first time already looked over, saw Li Shiyu’s time, Mu Lan faintly smiled.
And in front of Mu Lan’s bodyguard, has been Li Shiyu point, quickly fell down, for a while and a half will not wake up.
“How did you get here?” Mu Lan asked calmly.
“If you come in, how can I not come?” Li Shiyu has come to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan saw what Li Shiyu was thinking at a glance, and then said lightly, “Don’t move. The queen made something to prevent me. The lock is specially made. It can’t be opened in an ordinary way. It takes some time.”. You didn’t come to see me just to spend some time picking a lock, did you? Besides, picking a lock is a prison break. If I really left at such a time, I would be imprisoned for the crime. Abscond
to avoid punishment.
This crime, that really played Mu Lan to death.
Mulan is not so stupid.
“If you don’t go, you won’t survive tonight.” Li Shiyu said directly.
“No.” “I shouldn’t have died. I’m sure I’ll live through tonight,” Mulan said lightly.
This made Li Shiyu narrow his eyes and look at Mu Lan. “What have you done?”
Mulan shrugs innocently: “I’m locked up in a prison. What else can I do?”
Li Shiyu did not let go of the meaning of Mu Lan, the eyes fell straight on the body of Mu Lan, as if to see through the idea of Mu Lan.
“Mulan, this is in the palace. You didn’t do this. But you know, there’s no reason to say anything about witchcraft. Besides, if the mastermind of this is really the queen, and you can’t find evidence, no one in the palace can save you. Do you think the prince will help you?”
Li Shiyu could not have said it more clearly: “So are you prepared to die by staying in prison?”
“The prince will help.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
This, let Li Shiyu’s eyes full of danger, this danger is not for this matter, but for Mu Lan’s words.
“Why didn’t I know you and the prince had such a good relationship?” Li Shiyu sneered, unable to tell whether it was a taste or a taunt. But
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and gave him a low smile. Suddenly a pleasant voice came, which was particularly clear in the prison: “Shiyu, are you jealous?”
Li Shiyu just looked at Mu Lan like this, as if he wanted to see through Mu Lan’s true thoughts.
Mu Lan did not dwell on such a question.
After all, she knew that every minute and second now was particularly important to her. Soon, Mulan’s tone became serious: “I am useful to the prince, not only because the prince’s mind on me is not extinguished now, so the prince will naturally help in this matter, but this matter involves the queen, how can prince help?” I don’t know.
Li Shiyu did not speak.
“On the surface, the queen has done a clean job, but in fact there are still clues. After all, the scope involved is too wide. It’s just the words of these minions. It’s even more difficult to shake the queen.” Mulan said quickly, “You can find these slaves, and then join hands with the prince. Naturally, this alliance, you can’t meet. The prince won’t want this person to be you. I never wanted to involve the mill.”
Mu Lan’s mind has become more and more clear: “The rest of the things, the prince will naturally do.”. I can’t guess the value of my use of the prince, but I know that it must exist. Otherwise, as a woman, no matter how much the prince likes it, he won’t be in conflict with his own interests. So, as long as you throw these clues to the prince, the prince will deal with the next thing.
「……」
“Only the prince can deal with this matter and get away with it.” Mu Lan calmly finished his words.
Li Shiyu naturally understood the meaning of Mu Lan’s words: “If the prince does not help you, do you know what this means?”
Li Shiyu’s tone also became serious.
But Mu Lan’s eye light actually appears again calm, as if all matters already in Mu Lan’s brain, calculates clearly, does not have any deviation.
“If the prince really doesn’t help, then I have a way to deal with the prince.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly. “I’m from the East Palace. If I’m involved in witchcraft, it’s hard for the prince to pick it clean.”. I can think of any way the queen can think of, so this matter itself is a double-edged sword, and it depends on how to deal with it.
Mu Lan said directly, eyes looking at Li Shiyu also did not have any deviation.
“Mu Lan.” Li Shiyu suddenly called out to the man by his first name and last name, “You’ve already made up your mind, but you’re the only one who got rid of this king, aren’t you?”
“No.” Mulan denied, “I need you, but to the greatest extent, I will get rid of you.”. I don’t want you to get involved, and if you get involved, then no one can really help me. As
he spoke, Mu Lan’s voice paused and suddenly smiled, “The Autumn Festival is coming soon. Don’t you have any plans?”? You can’t ruin everything you’ve worked so hard for all these years because of this. Then she looked at Li Shiyu with a serious look in her eyes. “I’ll be all right, I promise you.”. If something really happens, I will stay up until you return from the autumn festival.
Li Shiyu did not speak, and the fist in his palm clenched.
The Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Before the Autumn Festival, even prisoners on death row will not be beheaded. They will have to wait until after the Autumn Festival. This is the rule of Dazhou. And Qu Huachang wants to attack me in private. That’s impossible. With my identity here, I won’t let her get away with it easily, so you can rest assured.
Mu Lan in comfort Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu just so heavy looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled faintly, his slender hand suddenly stretched out outside the prison, and as he walked, the anklet at his feet also made a sound. Obviously, he was in a mess, but he could walk out of the feeling of being born step by step.
Even, even if down and out in the prison, Mu Lan’s hair is only slightly messy, but the face is still delicate.
Li Shiyu looked down at Mu Lan’s outstretched hand. “What are you doing?”
“I want to hold your hand.” Mu Lan opened his mouth quietly.
Li Shiyu did not answer, but the strong goons had naturally reached over, gently rubbing the back of Mu Lan’s hand with a thin cocoon of finger pulp, and then wrapped her little hand in his palm.
Mu Lan’s body is cold, as long as it is a cool place, Mu Lan’s hands and feet are cold.
Now the big week is just hot summer, only into the night, there will be a slight coolness, and the prison is completely the opposite, the temperature is much lower, a little thin clothes, enough to make people shiver with cold, not to mention Mu Lan’s hands and feet, naturally also cold.
Li Shiyu quietly holding, the palm of the True Qi constantly spread to Mu Lan’s body, so that Mu Lan felt a sense of heat, her eyebrows and eyes in the smile more obvious.
“If I can’t get out, I’ll be here waiting for you.” Mulan said quietly, “I won’t break my promise, so don’t break your promise. You must take me out of here.” The implication
is that you can only succeed, not fail.
Li Shi-yu also smiled and said, “Good.”
Mu Lan did not speak and suddenly stood on tiptoe.
Obviously they are separated by a pillar, but it does not affect Mu Lan’s words and deeds, her hand loosened Li Shiyu’s hand, homeopathic around Li Shiyu’s neck, slightly hard.
Li Shiyu was stunned, Mu Lan’s red lips had been stuck up, a gentle kiss, and then she did not loosen, or even did not open the distance between them.
“Be careful in all things.” Mu Lan explains carefully, “If you can keep the green mountains, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood.”
“Good.” Li Shiyu promised.
Then, Mu Lan loosened Li Shiyu, but Li Shiyu’s hand clasped Mu Lan’s wrist faster, and their eyes collided in the air.
This place is not a place to stay for a long time. Li Shiyu knows this better than anyone.
He gazed at Mulan and then asked, “It seems that you never told me why you had to go to the East Palace.”
Mulan lowered his eyebrows and looked down at his toes, but his eyes fell on the man’s black brocade boots. When he raised his eyes again, Mulan’s eyes were a little more cold: “Revenge.”
Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly. This time, however,
Mu Lan did not hide it from Li Shiyu, but picked out some of the key points: “The empress and the Li family are probably inextricably linked.”
Other things, Mu Lan did not say any more.
“So you suspect that the empress had something to do with the extermination of the Li family?” Li Shiyu grasped the key point.
Mu Lan did not deny it.
“Is that why you had to marry into the East Palace?” Li Shiyu knew that Mu Lan could not deceive himself about this, but he also knew very well that Mu Lan did not tell the truth completely.
Sure enough, Mu Lan did not open his mouth again, and Mu Lan to hide things, even if you dig three feet, it is difficult to find clues from Mu Lan’s mouth.
Quiet, Li Shiyu’s thin lips moved slightly, at this time, Li Shiyu and Mu Lan keenly heard the movement outside the prison, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu.
“You can’t stay here for a long time. You go out first.” This is said directly without any room for negotiation.
Li Shiyu naturally knew this truth in his heart. He swallowed the words on his lips. Now is really not a good time to ask these questions. There will always be opportunities in the future.
He lowered his voice and said quickly, “Don’t act impulsively here. I will arrange people.”. Next time I come in, it will be even more difficult. If you can’t wash away all your grievances and leave the prison before the Autumn Festival, then when you enter the Autumn Festival, if someone enters the prison to take you away and comes with my instructions, you must be obedient. Do you understand?
These words seem to be explaining something.
Mu Lan smiled and said, “Remember.”. But if you don’t come in person, I promise to go out and follow whoever you hate the most.
This is not a threat, but to tell Li Shiyu clearly that she wants him to come back safe and sound.
Li Shiyu laughed angrily and then said, “I’m waiting for the king to marry you.”
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
Without the usual elements of laughter, soon, Li Shiyu disappeared from the front of Mu Lan, just as when he came, people did not notice any traces.
Mu Lan quietly returned to the original position, motionless, but her eyes were always keen to look at the direction of the entrance to the prison.
But without the feeling of anxiety, it is a kind of carefree. Can not
say the reason, it is a kind of instinctive intuition, intuition that this matter may have a breakthrough.
Sink, Mu Lan did not say anything, sit patiently, wait and see what happens.
……
Qu Huachang hurried to the prison, she will not give Mu Lan any chance to turn over, plus now the queen mother’s ambiguous words, the implication is to tell Qu Huachang, even if Mu Lan sat down on this charge, everything must wait until after the autumn sacrifice to deal with.
This time is too long, small half a year, a lot of things can change, Qu Huachang does not want to take such a risk.
So she had to get rid of Mulan quietly. It is extremely easy for a man to die
in prison.
As a result, Qu Huachang did not expect that he had already been stopped at the gate of the prison.
Qu Huachang’s face changed. “Have you rebelled?”? You won’t even let me in! The guard at the
gate looked at Qu Huachang calmly and said, “Tell the empress that the slaves are doing what they are ordered to do, and ask the empress not to embarrass the slaves.”
“Under orders?” Qu Huachang’s voice darkened a little. “I’d like to know who you’re serving, and who dares to stop me.”
When Qu Huachang’s voice fell, a pleasant voice came, and compared with Qu Huachang’s anger, such a voice seemed to be particularly soothing. When the guard at the
door saw Dai Zhi coming, he naturally retreated to one side.
Qu Huachang slightly squinted at Dai Zhi, the dissatisfaction in the eyebrows and eyes was obvious, but also with a bit of danger. “Why should the empress be angry?” She said with a
faint smile. “This is the emperor’s will, and no one can disobey it. I’m just doing things for the emperor.”
“What does Princess Diana mean?” Qu Huachang looked sharply at Dai Zhi.
Dai Zhi can fight with Qu Huachang for such a long time, but also can stand in the position of the imperial concubine, under one person, above ten thousand people, naturally has her fierce place, and can not be easily frightened by Qu Huachang.
Even Li Shili, who followed Dai Zhi, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not dominate, but just stood quietly, without any difference from his usual appearance.
It seems that the intrigues in the palace do not affect Li Shili.
It’s just a fun thing to watch. When
Dai Zhi faced Qu Huachang, she was not timid. She smiled, but calmly said, “Everyone knows about this thing in the East Palace. So the emperor, in order to avoid suspicion, asked his ministers and concubines to take over the matter. Before the truth comes out, no one in the East Palace is allowed to go near the prison.”
“This palace is the queen.” Qu Huachang spoke sullenly.
My concubine naturally knows your identity. But the emperor has decreed that the crown prince was born to the empress, and naturally the empress has to avoid suspicion, so as not to get people to say that the empress intends to protect her, which is not good. As she spoke, Dai Zhi changed the subject. “Naturally, I know that the empress will never do anything to protect her.”
This good and bad, all let Dai Zhi finish.
Qu Huachang was not a word up, can only be so resentful looking at Dai Zhi.
She could not guess why Dai Zhi would suddenly be involved in this matter, with Qu Huachang’s understanding of Dai Zhi, these things in the palace, Dai Zhi never care, even if the heart is like a mirror, will choose to turn a blind eye. To play it safe
is the best way to survive in the palace.
But at the moment Dai Zhi actually involved oneself in such matter, this had to let Qu Huachang think deeply for a moment.
She looked at Dai Zhi’s eyes, still gloomy: “Princess Dai, what if this palace must go in?”
“Then I can only be sorry for the empress.” Dai Zhi was calm, and did not become frightened because of Qu Huachang’s attitude. “If the empress must go, I can only let someone take the empress to the emperor. As long as the emperor agrees, I naturally dare not stop her.”
“You..” Qu Huachang’s face changed.
Dai Zhi asked knowingly. How could
she bring this matter before the emperor again.
And Dai Zhi’s oral instructions are true or false, still to be negotiated, but Dai Zhi this period of time to serve on the side of the emperor, but it is a real thing.
Therefore, Qu Huachang did not dare to act rashly for a while.
The two men were deadlocked at the gate of the prison, and neither of them took a step back.
Suddenly, not far away hurriedly came a person, they fixed their eyes on a look, that is Li Shiyuan, Li Shiyuan walked to the door of the prison, see such a scene, eyebrows also unconsciously twisted up.
“Mother, Princess Diana, may I ask what has happened?” Li Shiyuan opened his mouth heavily.
Dai Zhi was not in a hurry to explain when the time came. Instead, Li Shiyuan calmly opened his mouth: “Second Brother, don’t be impatient. The empress and the mother probably have some misunderstanding. The emperor has issued a decree that until the truth comes out, the matter of the crown princess will be temporarily handed over to the mother to deal with. No one will be allowed to approach, especially those who have connections with the East Palace, so as to avoid bending the law for selfish ends.” What
Li Shili said was very calm and calm, completely unaffected by the current situation.
And sure enough, this made Li Shi-yuan squint slightly. Li Shi-li opened his mouth lightly, but he was reminding Li Shi-yuan: “Second Brother, now you have to put the overall situation first, don’t you?”.
In a word, Li Shiyuan could not say a word.
Such a delicate moment, if there is a noise, it is really inappropriate, not to mention, Mu Lan this matter, this is the East Palace.
“If there’s nothing to do, I’ll ask the empress to go back to the Fengqing Palace first. If there’s anything to do, I’ll certainly inform the empress as soon as possible.” Dai Zhi gave the order to leave. The guards on
one side had already stepped forward, and Dai Zhi’s voice cooled a little: “Why don’t you escort the empress back to the Fengqing Palace?”
“Yes, the slave obeys.” The bodyguard answered respectfully.
Then the bodyguard looked at Qu Huachang and said, “Empress, please.”
That’s not to be refused.
Qu Huachang even if the heart is unwilling, but there is no way to take the current situation. It was even more impossible for her to question Li Changtian face to face, and eventually she could only leave in a huff of resentment.
When Qu Huachang left, Dai Zhi looked at Li Shiyuan and said, “Your Royal Highness, I know that you are very concerned about the Crown Princess. But now, please ask Your Royal Highness to avoid suspicion. If you don’t have absolute evidence, don’t go to the prison easily. It will only be true, and it won’t do any good to the Crown Prince.”
Dai Zhi’s words are light, but to remind Li Shiyuan. How could
Li Shiyuan not recognize the meaning of Dai Zhi’s words? But compared with Qu Huachang, Li Shiyuan seems much more calm: “I thank the Empress Dai for reminding me.”
“I don’t deserve it.” Dai Chih, on the other hand, is calm. “This palace also has to do with it.”. Your Highness, please forgive me.
Advance and retreat properly, but also people can not find any handle.
Li Shi-yuan nodded his head and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“No.” Princess Diana spoke calmly.
After that, Li Shiyuan also left in a hurry, but unexpectedly did not keep up with the pace of Qu Huachang, but walked in the direction of the East Palace.
Li Shi-li raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was not until Li Shi-yuan’s figure had gone away that he looked at Dai Zhi in front of him and said, “I thank you for your help.” When
Li Er did this, it made me even more curious about Mu Lan. As the daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion, how could he and you make such a great effort? Dai Zhi’s voice was lukewarm. “The prince, who had just left, didn’t even keep up with the queen. He went back to the East Palace alone. If something really happened to Mu Lan, I’m afraid the prince won’t give up.”
Dai Zhi can see clearly. In
a few words and words and deeds, Dai Zhi can understand that Li Shiyuan is not so simple and calm to Mu Lan on the surface, in the palace for countless years, when Dai Zhi saw Li Shiyuan can come in such a hurry, or even under such circumstances.
Li Shili naturally noticed it.
Li Shiyuan’s reaction was also somewhat beyond Li Shili’s expectation. He paid more attention to Mu Lan than he thought. After
sinking, Li Shili calmly looked at Dai Zhi and said, “Maybe Mu Lan is a little interesting.”
Dai Zhi calmly looked at Li Shili and said, “I hope you know what you are doing and don’t be implicated by women. Don’t you understand the situation now?”? The emperor’s mind is not something we can guess. Don’t involve yourself in it unless you have to.
“My son obeys the teachings of his mother.” Li Shili answered submissively.
Dai Zhi hum sound, this just did not say what, turn round to take a person to leave day prison quickly, also did not let Li Shili follow however.
Li Shili stood in place, watching Dai Zhi leave, and then the low eyebrows and eyes hide a trace of deep meaning, and soon turned into the prison. No one is allowed to go near the prison
without the king’s permission. If you get close, shoot to kill. Li Shili ordered sullenly.
The bodyguard, of course, did not dare to neglect him: “The slave obeys.”
Li Shili nodded, this just along the gloomy steps, step by step down, toward the detention of Mu Lan’s cell, down the last step, Li Shili saw Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s eyes have been calm to see over. The
two men’s eyes met in the air.
Then, Li Shili calmly walked to the front of Mu Lan.
…… After
Li Shiyuan left in a hurry, Li Shiyu, who had been in the dark, looked at him carefully, and his low eyes hid a deep meaning. Even Rong Jiu felt a little incredible.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, this is..” Rong Jiu looked at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu sank and conveyed to Rong Jiu exactly what Mu Lan had told him before: “Look for them in this way, list the names of these people clearly, and explain all the clues clearly.”. You have two days to deal with this. After two days, the prince will leave the palace. When the prince leaves the palace, give the list to the prince, and then you can only wait and see what happens.
Rong Jiu listened quietly and looked at Li Shiyu even more puzzlingly. “Is Your Highness going to cooperate with the prince?”
The prince is on Mu Lan’s side, so the prince won’t let Mu Lan have an accident. On the queen’s side, the prince is much more stable than us. Apart from anything else, let her come out safely now. Heaven’s prison is not a place to stay for a long time. Even in the East Palace, it’s better than Heaven’s prison. Li Shiyu quickly explained.
“Yes.” Rong Jiu dared not hesitate.
Soon, Rong Jiu left in a hurry, but Li Shiyu stood in place, motionless, he saw Li Shili has entered the prison.
For Li Shili, this is an accident of Li Shiyu.
Li Shili’s frenemies and friends are not clear, this matter, and seems to be Li Shili, moved to Diana, blocked the queen, so Li Shili is standing on the side of Mu Lan.
But when did Mu Lan and Li Shili have such a close relationship?
When will Li Shili, who never asks about anything, take the initiative to do things for others?
Li Shiyu sank, did not say anything, he was patiently waiting for Li Shili to come out.
…… Inside
the
prison, “Your Highness Jiu has come here fair and square.” Mu Lan smiled and said to Li Shili that he was not polite at all.
Li Shili also did not mind Mu Lan’s attitude, patted the dust that did not exist completely in the corner of his clothes, and then slowly walked to the front of Mu Lan.
He did not approach Mu Lan. “This is the first time I’ve seen you in such a mess, still in prison,” he said with a half-smile.
Mu Lan’s answer was not what he had asked: “Did the nine princes make the noise outside?”
“Not really.” Li Shi-li, on the other hand, denied it. “The king is in the palace and can’t do anything, but the Crown Princess overestimates the king.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, just looked at Li Shili, and did not open his mouth to say anything more, but patiently waited for Li Shili to continue.
“It’s much bolder than that, but it’s no match for the Crown Princess. In this palace, she can still bring witchcraft on herself.” Li Shi-li’s tone was playful. “Empress, do you think this is because the king has overestimated you, or is there some other reason?”
“So now your Highness Jiu has come in specially to mock me?” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly, but his face was calm.
Li Shili smiled and said nothing.
And Mu Lan also looked at Li Shi-li rudely and said directly, “Anyway, I owe Your Highness Jiu a lot of things, and I don’t need this one. Since Your Highness Jiu has tried his best, even the Empress Dai has been involved, and now he’s in front of me, why don’t you send the Buddha to the West and help me do something?”
“You are direct.” Li Shili snorted coldly.
This attitude, also did not say to promise also did not say not to promise, the eye light sharp looked to Mu Lan, Mu Lan is also not evasive. Because Mu Lan is very clear, if Li Shili is not standing on his side, there is no need to bother to do these things, what is the purpose of Li Shili, Mu Lan does not want to guess.
But at least now, Mu Lan is also very clear, she must find a way to leave here first, in the prison, after all, is not a place to stay for a long time, stay after the autumn festival, waiting for Li Shiyu to come, that is the worst way.
And the autumn sacrifice
seems to only think that the uneasiness in Mu Lan’s heart will become more and more uneasy.
“Get me a pen and paper.” Mu Lan came to his senses and looked at Li Shili, but he was not polite.
Li Shi smiled and looked at Mu Lan, but finally handed in the pen and paper according to Mu Lan’s request.
Mu Lan did not pay attention to Li Shili, bowed his head and quickly wrote on the paper, Li Shili’s position, and could not see what Mu Lan wrote.
Mu Lan did not seem to waste much time, and soon he had already written the note, simply folded it a few times, and handed it out from the prison.
Li Shi-li answered frivolously: “Aren’t you afraid that the king will open it?”
“It doesn’t matter if you want to see it.” Mulan said lightly, “There is no harm to your Highness. On the contrary, it is good for Concubine Dai. Concubine Dai has been able to compete with the empress for many years. Concubine Dai must be familiar with the things in the palace, but there are some details that Concubine Dai may not be clear about.”
Li Shili didn’t speak.
In this situation, even if the nine princes ask Princess Diana to come forward and not allow the empress and the crown prince to enter the prison, this is not a long-term solution. The queen’s mind is very close, and it’s very difficult to stop the queen in this palace. Since Your Highness Jiu has bought me time, if I don’t cherish it, isn’t it because I have a hard time with myself?
Mu Lan smiled faintly, and without wasting time, she went on to say, “Your Highness, please pass this note to the virtuous imperial concubine in the cold palace. When the empress sees the note, she will naturally know what to do.”. For other things, just wait and see what happens.
“The virtuous concubine?” Li Shi Li Wei narrowed his eyes, but he really couldn’t figure out what trick Mu Lan was going to play. The virtuous imperial concubine
has already been relegated to the cold palace for many years. The matter of the
virtuous imperial concubine was all after Li Shili had a memory.
The virtuous imperial concubine was pregnant with the dragon seed, but failed to stay. Eventually, because of the abortion of the prince, the virtuous imperial concubine became crazy, even contradicted the emperor, and was eventually relegated to the cold palace. The people in the
palace naturally said that the virtuous imperial concubine was crazy. After
entering the cold palace, almost no one in the palace mentioned the virtuous imperial concubine, to know the cold palace such a place, the people in the palace is how far to avoid is bound to be how far, the cold palace will not be much better than prison, even, the people in the cold palace died inexplicably is also very normal.
And Mu Lan has never entered the palace, unexpectedly will know the virtuous imperial concubine?
This made Li Shi and Li Wei narrow their eyes: “Mu Lan, you are far more familiar with this palace than king thinks.”
“Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.” Mu Lan answered calmly.
Li Shili didn’t speak.
Xian Fei accident, seemingly calm on the surface, but if no one behind it adds fuel to the flames, naturally it is impossible. And then the virtuous imperial concubine and Rong Fei long like, for a long time almost got Li Changtian’s exclusive favor, even when the virtuous imperial concubine was pregnant, Li Changtian let the slaves in the palace serve carefully, even every day Li Changtian would personally go to the bedroom of the virtuous imperial concubine.
Such treatment, even if that year’s Rong Fei has never had.
Therefore, the virtuous imperial concubine later suddenly had an accident, this only then had to let the human suspect, but this palace’s person works, always eliminates the evidence of guilt cleanly, how can leave the handle for the human.
After the virtuous imperial concubine entered the cold palace, everyone thought that the virtuous imperial concubine would die soon. As a result, the virtuous imperial concubine was unexpected. Although she was still crazy, she always lived in the cold palace.
And today Mu Lan suddenly mentioned Xian Fei, which made Li Shi-li feel curious: “Xian Fei is a concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace. Even if she has all kinds of abilities, she can’t help you in this matter.” The crime
of witchcraft is the most important.
Otherwise, Li Shiyuan does not need to mobilize.
“Of course the virtuous concubine can’t.” Mulan doesn’t deny it, but someone can. It’s just that this person has to be a virtuous concubine to be persuaded.
Mu Lan answered without changing his face.
Know this secret, is the last life by Li Shiyuan into the cold palace, Mu Lan just know, at that time the virtuous imperial concubine has been terminally ill soon, looking at Mu Lan, only feel pity. During that time in the
cold palace, Mu Lan accompanied the virtuous imperial concubine to chat, although nothing could be done, but at least it was a piece of light in the last time. It was
also at that time that Mu Lan knew that the maidservant on the side of Qu Huachang was the sister of the virtuous imperial concubine in the late Qing Dynasty, and that the late Qing Dynasty entered the palace in order to avenge her sister, but the late Qing Dynasty had been lurking on the side of Qu Huachang and failed to find a chance.
And the virtuous imperial concubine in the cold palace, also thanks to the help of the late Qing Dynasty from time to time, otherwise, the cold palace for decades, is very difficult, most people, did not wait for amnesty, has been driven crazy by the cold palace.
The virtuous imperial concubine did not dare to die because of the late Qing Dynasty.
She could not let the late Qing Dynasty go on the road of no return.
Only later, Mu Lan had an accident, and naturally she could not know what had happened to the late Qing Dynasty and the virtuous imperial concubine in the previous life.
But now this is a turning point.
On the contrary, Li Shili listened to Mu Lan’s words and narrowed his eyes slightly: “Mu Lan, the king underestimated you.”. Just make sure that the virtuous concubine will help.
Mu Lan’s face did not change color: “I said, in order to protect themselves, naturally will not miss any clues.”. And as for the virtuous concubine, your Highness only needs to tell me that if the virtuous concubine wants to avenge the death of her child, then do as I ask.
Li Shi-li did not speak. He just looked at the note that Mu Lan had handed to him. Then he said, “How sure are you?” It shouldn’t be possible to
bring down the people behind the scenes. But to get me out of jail safe and sound, to get me clean out of this thing. But the people behind the scenes will naturally be affected, and it is impossible for them to be as reckless as they are now. Mu Lan said directly.
Li Shi-li says directly: “The person behind the curtain is the empress.”
Mu Lan did not deny, nor did he admit.
Li Shili guess is not difficult, Li Changtian to Mu Lan’s mind has not been less, between the lines, the possessive desire for Mu Lan is also obvious, even if Mu Lan is the Crown Princess, Li Changtian really want, it is not impossible. But after Master Jingyi came, the things on the surface became behind the scenes.
So Qu Huachang should guard against Mu Lan.
In this matter, Qu Huachang’s mind is more sensitive than anyone else, but also more sinister than anyone else.
Dai Zhi and Qu Huachang fight for decades, Li Shili followed Dai Zhi, how can not see the nature of Qu Huachang this person.
Mu Lan’s words are also reasonable, want to rely on this matter to trip Qu Huachang, is not so simple.
“If you run away this time, you will naturally run away the next time.” Li Shili spoke in a low voice.
“I won’t give her another chance like this.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
Li Shili didn’t speak.
Looking at Mu Lan’s calm face, Mu Lan seems to be planning something, but when you look at her, it seems that the surface is a fog, nothing can be seen clearly.
Then, Li Shili did not say much, turned and went out. At the moment when
Li Shili turned around, Mu Lan suddenly stopped Li Shili: “Your Highness, are you helping Mu Lan just because you like Mu Lan?”
“Humph.” Li Shi-li sneered, “I don’t know if the king and the prince have the same idea.”
Mu Lan did not speak.
And Li Shili’s eyes gradually sharpened: “Do you think the fourth elder brother is simple?”? The people who can survive in this palace are not ordinary people. It’s better to spend some time on guard against the fourth elder brother than to be on guard against the king everywhere. The fourth elder brother is not as simple as you think on the surface.
Li Shili dropped this, did not pay attention to Mu Lan, but also clearly told Mu Lan, he knew Mu Lan and Li Shiyu of those things.
Mu Lan did not speak, still appears to be much more calm.
Li Shiyu?
Mu Lan felt that at first Li Shiyu was interested in himself, but later he gradually deepened his cooperation, and when it happened now, it was somewhat blurred.
Does Li Shiyu also have a purpose?
And this palace, indeed, as Li Shili said, anyone who can survive is not a fuel-efficient lamp, everyone has their own protective color.
Li Shili is like this.
Li Shiyu is still the same.
Even Li Shiyuan, is it just as simple as it looks on the surface?
And the other princes in the palace.
Mu Lan sank, did not say anything, quietly sitting aside, day prison, only the sound of water drops falling, Yin Qi deep, people feel panic.
……
Li Shili left the prison, and did not go directly to the cold palace, but also did not see the note written by Mu Lan, he turned around in the palace, deal with the things in his hands, until night, quietly went to the cold palace. It was quiet near the
cold palace, and occasionally a wild cat jumped over the beam, and no one could be seen again.
If we say that the prison is the human purgatory of the condemned prisoners.
Then the cold palace is the earthly purgatory of the living.
No matter how noble your previous status is, you may not even be able to compare with a palace maid here.
Li Shili stood in place for a while, then quietly walked toward the cold palace, the cold palace naturally no slaves, all are to come by themselves. At the moment when Li Shili entered the cold palace, his eyebrows were twisted up, and those who had been imprisoned in the cold palace for many years immediately surrounded him when he saw Li Shili.
“Did the emperor order us to go out?” The leader was a woman with a gloomy smile and dishevelled hair, which made people feel nervous.
Li Shi-li’s eyes sank. “Get out of here.”
The woman cried and laughed, still pestering Li Shili, Li Shili unceremoniously pulled the woman directly to one side, the woman hit the pillar, the head knocked out blood. When
such a pain came, in an instant, the people who had been noisy all calmed down.
They quietly scattered away, no longer dare to surround Li Shili, but inevitably, in the dark to observe Li Shili’s every move.
Li Shili was too lazy to talk nonsense and walked towards the farthest room.
That’s where the virtuous imperial concubine is.
“Hehehe, it’s for that crazy woman.” Once again, a mournful chant came from the cold palace. “The life of a mad woman is not long. What’s the use of looking for one?”
Followed by a really sad giggle.
Li Shili did not pay attention, he stood in front of Xianfei’s house, and before the bad attitude is not the same, quietly knocked on the door.
Can let Mu Lan remember the person, Li Shili nature will not underestimate, whether this person is a person or a ghost, Li Shili will be cautious.
But no matter how Li Shili knocked at the door, it seemed that the room was empty, and there was no such person.
Li Shili twisted his eyebrows and quickly pushed the door and entered. After entering the house, Li Shili found Xianfei in the darkest corner. Compared with the people outside, Xianfei looked completely delirious and curled up in the corner, shivering.
Even looking at Li Shili’s eyes are somewhat trance, as if completely unable to recover from such an atmosphere.
“Are you a virtuous princess?” Li Shili asked.
In front of the person, dishevelled hair, has long been unable to see the appearance of the prime of life, but is a thin woman, no life, as if at any time and anywhere will die.
When Xianfei heard Li Shi-li’s name, she laughed and cried at Li Shi-li: “No one has called me this name for many years. It makes my hair stand on end.”
As Xianfei spoke, the sound of crying seemed to become obvious. She stood up and staggered in the direction of Li Shili. “Let the palace see who is looking for the palace. Is it to kill the palace?”
Li Shili twisted his eyebrows, but did not dodge. He looked at the virtuous imperial concubine who was walking toward him. He sank and told the virtuous imperial concubine what Mu Lan had said: “Someone asked the king to tell you that if you want to avenge the death of the child, you should read this note carefully.”
A word, let originally look crazy virtuous imperial concubine suddenly calm down.
Her eyes can not be said to be sharp, but compared with the chaos before, it has been clear and bright a lot, her footsteps have not stopped, has been standing in front of Li Shili.
After that, the virtuous imperial concubine opened her mouth lightly: “Your Highness Jiu.”. I’m just a deposed man who has been in limbo for more than twenty years. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
Xian Fei is playing dumb, but this is particularly calm, every word is said clearly, the implication is to banish guests, do not want to be entangled with Li Shili again.
“Please ask Your Highness to go back.” Xian Fei finished, do not want to say anything.
Li Shili looked at the virtuous imperial concubine, not surprised at the virtuous imperial concubine’s behavior.
Be relegated to the cold palace, dead dead, crazy crazy, wary of the outside world, with Li Shili’s words, it is impossible to easily believe. The people in the
cold palace, no matter whether they are not afraid of life and death, still leave a glimmer of hope after all.
And they are in the cold palace, does not mean that they have no family outside the palace, but also very likely because of their words and deeds, and then drag the family.
At this time, it is really the best way to pretend to be stupid.
Li Shi-li, however, did not embarrass Xian Fei. He naturally took out a note from his bosom and said, “Xian Fei has seen it with her own eyes. Maybe she will understand.”
Say that finish, even Li Shili did not stay in the house of the virtuous imperial concubine, quickly turned around and left.
But the note was left alone in place, and when the wind blew, it kept flashing.
Xian Fei still stood motionless.
It was not until long after Li Shili left that Xianfei quietly walked to the note. She picked up the note, took a look at the contents of the note, and her face changed slightly.
But only for a moment, the virtuous imperial concubine had already guessed who the owner of the note was. Although she was locked up in the palace, it did not mean that the virtuous imperial concubine knew nothing about the things in the palace.
This period of time makes the hubbub matter, the virtuous imperial concubine knows naturally, not to mention, this sorcery doll or in the cold palace not far from the west wing room discovery.
Mu Lan
Xianfei silently read Mu Lan’s name in her heart.
She has more or less heard of the name of Mu Lan, who became famous in the first World War, and now Mu Lan has successfully replaced Mu Zhihua as the Crown Princess, all of which are legendary enough.
And this person, unexpectedly will know that the late Qing Dynasty is his own sister, more clear about the reason why the late Qing Dynasty entered the palace. Even
their own dribs and drabs are clearly known.
Mu Lan promised in the note that she would do her best to avenge the dead child of the virtuous imperial concubine, and would also send the late Qing Dynasty and the virtuous imperial concubine out of the palace, so that their sisters could be reunited, instead of staying in this place where no one was a ghost.
And what she had to do was to persuade the late Qing Dynasty to find the person who framed Mu Lan.
The late Qing Dynasty was not only the sister of the virtuous imperial concubine, but also the confidant of Qu Huachang. The late Qing Dynasty knew clearly every move of Qu Huachang. The late Qing Dynasty entered the palace and went step by step to the present, in order to collect the evidence of Qu Huachang. One day, it could avenge the virtuous imperial concubine.
But they were sisters, and no one ever knew.
The virtuous imperial concubine sank, the eye light slightly had a trace of change, no longer calm, but more than a touch of deep, as if in what. In the
note, Mu Lan also clearly told the virtuous imperial concubine that if the late Qing Dynasty did not open its mouth, the person who looked for evidence could also find clues by following the clues. Find clues, this matter is bound to implicate the queen, implicate the queen, witchcraft doll happened near the cold palace, she will pull out the people in the cold palace as a scapegoat.
Undoubtedly, this person is the virtuous imperial concubine.
Now in the cold palace, and Qu Huachang has a quarrel, only the virtuous imperial concubine, Qu Huachang’s character, is bound to be eradicated.
These, the virtuous imperial concubine will not know.
She quietly read the note, which was burned to ashes in the flickering candlelight, and soon fluttered with the wind into the dark room, and no trace could be seen.
It’s like it never happened. In the
cold palace, it is still quiet.
Li Shili stood not far from the cold palace, but never left, the attitude of the virtuous imperial concubine made Li Shili feel puzzled, but Mu Lan confessed things, Li Shili has been completed, in Mu Lan’s view, the next everything, can only rely on Mu Lan’s good fortune.
He sank and said nothing more.
Soon, Li Shili calmly disappeared into the night.
Two days later
, Yu Wang Fu.
Li Shiyu stood beside the bed with his hands on his back. “Your Highness,” he whispered in his ear, “there have been rumors in the palace these past two days that it was the place where the witchcraft dolls appeared. Many slaves have seen the people of the Fengqing Palace.”
“Who?” Li Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wan Lian. He is a trusted follower of the empress. Rong Si went on to say, “I can’t find the source of the news, but there is definite evidence.”. In the west wing, because no one lived there all the year round, the ashes fell and footprints were left on the ashes, which belonged to the late lotus. There are also slaves in the neighborhood who have seen Wanlian in and out.
Even in the East Palace, because Wanlian was the empress, she could go in and out by herself. She had entered the East Palace when the Crown Princess returned home. The most important thing, a slave said, is that in Wanlian’s house, there are still unfinished witchcraft dolls. If the subordinates remember correctly, the craftsmanship of the tailors of Wanlian is good. Very much liked by the queen.
Rong Si told Li Shiyu all the clues he had sorted out.
