General Raiders

Not too good, the master often finds things to assassinate His Highness.Every time His Highness fell ill, the master begged the concubines and the concubines, but they all closed the door. Concubine Zhou Hui directly told the master that there was no imperial doctor who would come to see His Highness... until His Highness was four years old and became deaf due to a serious illness. Those harmful things are gone. "

After the seventh prince was born safely, Concubine Zhou Hui must have attacked Chen's mother and son more than once. Fortunately, Chen was vigilant and protected the sixth prince. Later, the sixth prince became deaf due to illness. No matter what, he was no longer a threat. Being cautious and low-key, never competing for favor, and being obsequious and never resisting Yongshou Palace, Concubine Zhou Hui gradually relaxed her guard.

Chunxi said with emotion: "Your Highness's deafness, although it pains the master, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise."

Speaking of that year, Mu Ziyue's concubines all bowed their heads in embarrassment.Concubine Xu Huang took a sip of tea silently.The more Muzi thought about it, the impression that Chen Guiren always took care of the sixth prince badly, it seems that it was first heard from Yongshou Palace...

Concubine Zhou Hui saw that she was talking about everything, she panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Chunxi, you are talking nonsense, the emperor will never believe you!"

Fang Ruo lowered her eyes: "The servant girl will not persuade the master to do such a foolish thing!"

Chunxi immediately spat at her and said, "If you're confused, you know it yourself!"

"Your majesty, the concubine also remembered..."

Concubine Xu Huang touched a lustrous jade bracelet on her hand. The bracelet was very watery, but it was icy cold to the touch.

"The little sister Defei back then vaguely resembled the former empress..."

Mu Ziyue was in a daze for a while, after hearing Chunxi's words and what Xu Huangguifei said, he also slowly thought of that concubine De.In his impression, he dotes on her so much because she looks seven points like Empress Xiaoyi...

It seems that at that time, he really didn't go to Yongshou Palace much.But after Mu Chengpei was born, Concubine Zhou Hui often invited him to visit the new little prince. Muzi was the emperor, and he had never been so close to the prince and daughter before, so his heart was very fresh. In addition, Concubine De just got sick again. Describing it as withered, it is far from Xiaoyi, and he is indifferent to Concubine De.

What Chun Xi said didn't have any real evidence, but she said something absolutely right.For so many years, whether the Zhou family has ever competed for favor with the Seventh Prince, he himself knows best...

Mu Ziyue's eyebrows twitched, and he blurted out: "Mr. Zhou, I favored Chen Guiren back then. Is it because you took the medicine?"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Zhou Hui couldn't believe it, "If there is no concubine, how dare the concubine!"

Mu Ziyue said: "Why don't you dare? I am the Chen family who is favored by you in Yongshou Palace, how could you not know at all? Without your permission, no one would dare to approach me!"

Mu Ziyue suddenly remembered that even if he had the heart to celebrate Empress Xiaoyi's birthday, he would never choose that day to favor the palace servants!If Zhou Shi hadn't accompanied him to persuade him to drink a few more drinks that day, making him so drunk that he lost his mind...

Now recalling the situation at that time again, I feel that it was a bit weird out of thin air. Before that, he had never had a precedent of being drunk and calling for bed!But after waking up, Mrs. Zhou looked heartbroken and kept beating and scolding Mrs. Chen in front of him, insisting that Mrs. Chen climbed onto the dragon bed because he wanted to be superior, and Mu Ziyue was also very annoyed. After seeing the embarrassment of Empress Xiaoyi, she didn't even want to look at Chen Shi again, because Chen Shi's acceptance of favor had already become a fact, so who would have thought that there was something tricky about it?

It seems that what happened back then was indeed not my fault.

Mu Zi came to this conclusion very quickly, and felt an indescribable relief in his heart. He looked at Mrs. Zhou with a little more indifference: "It's been so long, and you don't really remember it. It happened that Qiu Yi was here , please ask him to help me with the first trial, so that when I see Empress Xiaoyi again in the future, I can have an explanation!"

Qiu Yi didn't expect that the new case would not be solved, but there would be another old case, but there seemed to be inextricable connections between the two, and it was the emperor's order that the interrogation must be clear, so Qiu Yi didn't shirk it.

By this time, the night was dark.Mu Zi got tired and didn't want to stay for a long time, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "This place is guarded by Yun Xi, and no one is allowed to enter except Qiu Yi who handles the case."

"As for you..." Muzi looked around at the colorfully dressed concubines with expectant faces. He was in no mood to call for bed. , Pass the news, those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

The concubines all tremblingly responded.Fang Ruo wanted to help Mrs. Zhou get up, but Mu Ziyue saw him, and Mu Zi said coldly, "I almost forgot, Mrs. Zhou is going to be a concubine and temporarily detained in Yongshou Palace. Fang Ruo will be imprisoned in Dali Temple until Qiu Yi solves the case." Make a decision later!"

Concubine Zhou Hui suddenly sat down on the ground.How could the emperor be so unfeeling and ungrateful to Chunxi because of the one-sided words of that lowly servant girl?However, at this moment, she still has a ray of hope in her heart. The emperor punished her several times before, but in the end they all returned to her. Maybe this time is not so terrible. After all, Chen Guiren has been favored for a long time, and Qiu Yi can What did you find out?

"Your Majesty!!" Yun Xi rushed out and said, "His Sixth Highness has just lost his mother, and he doesn't know where to go. Please take him back to the residence in the next few days..."

Mu Ziyue stopped his walking steps, then remembered the deceased Chen Guiren, thought for a while and said: "Chengze and you are already close, so that's good."

Then he said to Li Chengfeng: "Chen Guiren... is the birth mother of the Sixth Prince after all, so let's be promoted to a concubine. As for the title..."

The more Mu Zi remembered that he specially granted the Zhou family a title, he felt a little tired, and said: "The title will be exempted."

25. Case closed

Yun Xi shook off her cloak, and carried Mu Chengze out.It was windy at night recently, and it was easy to catch cold when walking at night, so when he left the palace, he deliberately put the sixth prince into his cloak.

At this moment, Mu Chengze seemed to be asleep, his head was pressed against Yun Xi's chest, and he was silent.Yun Xi gently carried him off the horse, trying not to let him notice the slightest jolt along the way.Lanxuan and Lanfei have already heard the news, and prepared the bedroom in advance. Because of Mrs. Chen, the festive decorations made for the Lantern Festival in the mansion have been withdrawn in advance, and they also beat the servants in private. Dress as cleanly as possible. Talking nonsense in front of His Highness Six.

Yun Xi sent Mu Chengze to the bedroom and put him on the bed. He wanted to cover him with a quilt and leave, but when he got up together, Mu Chengze opened his eyes and firmly grasped Yun with one hand. The front of Xi's brocade clothes.

Yun Xi didn't expect him to be so vigilant, so she sighed and said, "Ah Ze, it's late at night, go to sleep."

"My mother..." Mu Chengze hesitated to speak.

Yun Xi understood, and said: "She was taken to Dali Temple. I will take you there tomorrow."

Mu Chengze was silent for a while, and finally hesitantly let go of his hand, and slowly turned around.Yun Xi tucked up the quilt for him, waited for a long time but still did not see any movement from him, thinking that he must have fallen asleep, so she gently backed out.

Before closing the door, he still glanced uneasy at Mu Chengze who was lying on the bed, and unexpectedly found that small figure trembling.

Still no sound.Yun Xi closed the door without hesitation, walked back to her room like a gust of wind, took the brocade quilt and went to Mu Chengze's room again, shook off her own quilt, and spread it on the bed.

This movement alarmed the people next to him, Mu Chengze turned his face away, half of his cheek was already wet, he looked at Yun Xi in a daze.

Yun Xi took off her outer robe, wrapped Mu Chengze into a bun with a quilt and put her in her arms, closed her eyes and patted him on the back slowly: "Sleep, Aze."

This night, he would often wake up with a slight tremor in his arms, and a large area of ​​his chest was wet, but he didn't get up, but just patted the other person's back as usual to comfort him and let him calm down slowly.

I remember a few years ago, on the night when the eldest princess died, he himself was like this. Now he knows that time flies, what should come will come, and what should have passed will also pass.

When the sky was bright, Yun Xi opened her eyes, and saw the bun in her arms with slightly swollen eyelids, still in a deep sleep, with one hand still grabbing the front of his clothes.

Yun Xi woke up the sixth prince, took out a plain old dress, and asked Mu Chengze to change into it.Because the one who passed away was not the queen's aunt, as the prince, Mu Chengze couldn't keep his filial piety for Mrs. Chen, so he could only pay attention to himself.The jade on his neck was originally a simple and clean thing, but Mu Chengze insisted on taking it off, wrapped it up and put it in his arms, took two bites of rice hastily, and then went out with Yun Xi.

Dali Temple is not far from Anlehou's Mansion, riding a horse is not much faster, and it is too tiring for the sixth prince who has not slept much all night, Yun Xi insisted on carrying the sixth prince on his back, and walked all the way over.

Qiu Yi stayed up all night, with a tired look on his face, when he saw Yun Xi and Mu Chengze approaching, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Anle, Your Highness Sixth."

Yun Xi put down Mu Chengze, and said straight to the point: "Lord Qiu, is there any progress?"

Qiu Yi couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Master Hou came so fast. I already have some clues, and I'm still deliberating... Fangruo and I were interrogated overnight, and she and the two palace servants who went to Chuxiu Palace with her insisted that it was just a beating. Chen Guiren, he did not poison you."

Mu Chengze had been watching them talking, and suddenly said, "How...how did she get poisoned?"

Qiu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized who she was referring to, and said, "Go into the hall, and there is a jug of fruit wine and a wine glass on the table in an inner room. The poison is poured into the wine, and the glass is neutralized." It's in the pot. It has been confirmed by Wu Zuo that Chen Guiren was poisoned and died after drinking this wine."

Yun Xi said: "What kind of poison is it, do you have clues?"

If one can know the specific poison and find the whereabouts of the poison in the palace, then it will not be far from catching the murderer.Chen Guiren has always been aloof from the world, has no desires and desires, such a person is not acceptable
