Tangled

"This fragment of the letter was obtained by accident when I passed the Shu family's place after I came back from the palace, because it has the word Tangquan on it, pay attention to it, and later I sent someone to the palace to bring back the little maid who was involved in the incident that day. After careful questioning, I realized that this matter was arranged by Mrs. Shu." After finishing speaking, Ban Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea from Ruan Jieyu, and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"If I remember correctly, this servant girl lost her mind when she was in the palace, so how can she judge whether what she said is true or not?" Concubine An Xian said abruptly.

"I remember, Sister An didn't go to the palace during the autumn hunting, how could she be so familiar with it?" Su Qingwan looked at Concubine An Xian with a half-smile.

"Since I dared to let her appear in front of His Majesty today, I can guarantee that everything she said is true." Ban Jieyu did not leave time for Concubine An Xian to answer. The mind, after recuperation, has now recovered."

"Ban Jieyu really came here today." Concubine An Xian sneered, "I don't know what's on her mind."

"Beauty Duanmu and I are from the same hometown. I really can't bear to see her grievances still lingering after her death. Naturally, we should be careful and always prepare for everything." Ban Jieyu was not polite, and retorted, "I would like to ask Concubine An Xian what's on her mind. , I was able to quietly send my maid to follow all the way in front of the Shelan Palace just now."

"You!" Concubine An Xian was surprised when she heard this, she didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Okay." The emperor couldn't help but say, "It's already late at night, so quickly end the matter of the palace, so you can rest early!"

Su Qingwan and Mu Luoluo looked at each other, they were both in disbelief, the fact that Concubine An Xian sent her maid out, neither of them noticed, this class of Lian Ming is really not to be underestimated.

"Come on, say what you said again." Ban Jieyu settled her mind and looked at the little maid who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes...yes, servant girl, servant girl is going to the palace with Lady Zhao. Before going to the palace, Master Shu ordered the servant girl to put blood clots in the purse of Concubine Shu. After arriving at the palace, the servant girl gave it to the eunuch in charge The money was stuffed, and she was transferred to Concubine Shu's palace to serve, so, that's why..." The maid slapped Su Qingwan solidly as soon as she finished speaking, and lay down on the ground sobbing softly.

Mu Luoluo hurriedly pulled Su Qingwan back, Su Qingwan suddenly turned her head, and the anger in her eyes that had not been put away burned Mu Luoluo's eyes.When their eyes met, Mu Luoluo understood why Su Qingwan was angry, and then smiled slightly, signaling that Su Qingwan's past was like smoke, so don't worry too much.

"How did that snake get here?" Ruan Jieyu asked.

"Then, that snake, yes, the servant girl asked the little eunuch to catch it in the woods." After the maid finished speaking, she began to kowtow one after another, "Your Majesty, what the servant girl said is true, please spare the servant girl, please! Your Majesty ! Spare the slaves!"

"Shut up!" The emperor slapped the table violently, the maid was so horrified that she only kowtowed, and didn't dare to utter another sound.

"Your Majesty!" Ban Jieyu stood up again, raised her voice, and looked directly at the emperor, "Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, it is enough to prove that Shu's instigation of Concubine Shu's encounter with the poisoning of snakes was all at the instigation of Shu. Could it be that Your Majesty still wants to protect you? "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room felt sorry for each other, but Ban Jieyu looked at the emperor and refused to give an inch.

"Okay." The emperor smiled, his brows full of helplessness, "Lenggong Shu's family has lost virtue, murdered concubines many times, and delivered decrees."

"Slaves obey orders."

"Stick kill!"

After the emperor said this, he got up and wanted to leave, he turned his head and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao: "The empress is tired tonight, go back to the palace to sleep, I will go back to Panlong Palace to sleep."

"Yes." Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Su Qingwan looked up at the emperor, watching him walk towards the door step by step, her back seemed infinitely desolate.

Before going out, the emperor turned his head, glanced at a group of people in the room, and then fixed his eyes on Ban Jieyu's face: "The concubines, all loves, really gave it to me tonight, what a birthday present!"

After the emperor left, Concubine An Xian was the first to get up, saluted Mu Xiaoxiao hastily and then left. When she passed by Ban Jieyu, that glance seemed to weigh a thousand catties.Afterwards, Ban Ruan also resigned.

"Sister Su caught the wind and cold tonight and needs to recuperate. It's better to remove the sign of the Inner Court." Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister doesn't have to worry about the aftermath. Everything is up to me."

"Thank you, empress." Su Qingwan smiled slightly, not only showing all the etiquette, but also not seeming unfamiliar.

After Mu Xiaoxiao left, she cleaned up the house, took a shower and changed her clothes. After a lot of tossing, when she settled down, it was already the hour of the day.

"Ban's is worthy of being the daughter of Shang Shu's right servant, and she just bluntly said that she is guilty, but she has the demeanor of her father." Su Qingwan nestled in Mu Luoluo's arms, looking straight at Mu Luoluo, with a gleam in her eyes. Spring water, people can not help but indulge in it.

"Have you met Master Ban?" Mu Luoluo gently rubbed Su Qingwan's temples, a little afraid to look directly into her eyes.

"No, I just heard from my father that Mr. Ban is outspoken, he is an upright speaker, and he is also a tough one." Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Why are you blushing?"

"Being stared at by you like this makes me not only blush, but I'm also afraid that I won't be able to bear it." Mu Luoluo smiled and flicked Su Qingwan's forehead lightly. "Speaking of it, Ban's last words seem to be It’s like forcing the emperor to execute the Shu clan.”

"Yeah, haven't we always been curious about why the Shu family can get His Majesty's favor? I think I probably guessed the answer." Su Qingwan blinked, and pecked at the corner of Mu Luoluo's mouth with her head, "After Ban Shi said today, His Majesty can't Concubine Xian's gaze changed when she continued to protect the Shu family, obviously she could know one or two reasons why His Majesty protected the Shu family, and if they were connected like this, it might be inseparable from the previous empress."

"It is rumored that the former empress was docile and gentle. The Shu family is domineering, which is very different from the former empress." Mu Luoluo patted Su Qingwan on the shoulder, signaling her to adjust her body shape, and the two lay down facing each other. "Then there is only appearance."

"I guess, even if the Shu family and the former empress are not very similar, there are seven or eight points of similarity, otherwise His Majesty will definitely not let His Majesty protect you again and again." Su Qingwan put her arms around Mu Luoluo's waist, and buried her head on Mu Luoluo's chest " In any case, Ban's move is to eradicate the weeds and root out the troubles forever. Tonight, Ban Lianming used me as a lure to exact revenge on Duanmu Jia."

"I'm still curious. Everything is so tight tonight, almost rushing the emperor to make a decision. Did you discuss it?" Mu Luoluo gently stroked Su Qingwan's back again and again.

"Of course not, I still feel that I was tricked by Ban Lianming." Su Qingwan raised her head and looked at Mu Luoluo. "Sister Ruan did tell me a few days ago that someone was wandering outside Shangqing Palace recently. Wanting to harm me, I never imagined that she would be so bold that she dared to do something at His Majesty's birthday banquet. I don't know anything about the personal and physical evidence in Ban Lianming's hands."

"In this way, what happened tonight seems to have been facilitated by Ban Jieyu, as if she played a big game of chess, and we are all her pawns." Mu Luoluo said, lightly touching Su Qingwan's forehead. Kissed lightly, "This person really cannot be ignored."

"The scariest thing about her is that she can hold back her temper." Su Qingwan was a little sleepy. She had already had a drink, but she had a lot of trouble that time. Now she is very tired all over her body, and her voice is a little nasal. Whispering, "It's like a wolf hunting prey, lying down all the time, and only giving a fatal blow when the time is right."

"The left and right things are over, let's sleep in peace." Mu Luoluo took Su Qingwan into her arms and said softly.

Su Qingwan snorted softly, as if responding, but also seemed to be making the sound unconsciously.

In the darkness, Mu Luoluo's eyes were still bright. In fact, there are still many doubts about the drug administration that have not yet been clarified. Perhaps behind Shu's back, there are others pointing out, which is also a hidden danger.

·

Noon was the time when the sun was at its best, but the cold wind was still blowing in the cold palace, and there were occasional cries and shouts, which made people shudder.

When Mu Luoluo pushed open the door, Zheng Shi was sitting on the chair facing the door. The sudden sunlight shone on Zheng Shi's face, and she had to raise her hand to cover it.

"It's finally here." Mrs. Zheng sighed, "Sit down wherever you want. If you want to drink water, you can pour it yourself. There is no tea."

"Are you waiting for me?" Mu Luoluo stood in front of Zheng Shi, watching her slowly open her eyes in her own shadow.

"It's you." Mrs. Zheng leaned back slightly, revealing her slender neck, "I thought it would be Su Qingwan."

"Your Majesty is golden and jade-like, how could you come to Lenggong?" Mu Luoluo turned around and closed the door, and sat on a chair beside her. This was the second time she had come to Lenggong, but the room where Mrs. Zheng lived was far from that of Mrs. Zhang. live.

"Didn't Su Qingwan also come to see Xiao Zhang when she entered the cold palace, how could she not be treated like this?" Zheng smiled lightly, not sure if she was mocking Xiao Zhang or self-deprecating.

"Since you're waiting, why don't I tell you why I'm here?" Mu Luoluo didn't bother with Zheng, she just came to confirm the doubts in her heart.

"You ask, I've been lonely in this cold palace for a long time, and it's rare for someone to talk to me." Zheng straightened up, put her hand on her chin and looked at Mu Luoluo with a smile.

"It's said that the seller of Cuiyan is seeking glory, but it's not true. Everything she did was actually arranged by you, right?" Mu Luoluo cut to the point.

"Yes." Zheng replied without hesitation, "I was framed by you back then, and I was unwilling to do so, so I tried every means to get Cuiyan out of the cold palace and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. This wait is two years. Entering the palace, I waited for hope. Shu Jiujiu has a good skin, but he has no brains. He is really an embroidered pillow and a pack of grass. Not long after entering the palace, I lost my confidant maid, so I naturally let Cuiyan Go and serve, and you should know better than me about the subsequent things, but everything related to Cuiyan is related to me, whether it is a palace and a snake, or a night meeting with an adulterer, it is all planned and arranged by me."

Mu Luoluo listened quietly without interrupting.

"I think you want to ask more about the medicine now? That's right, after all, Su Qingwan was not hurt by the incident in the palace, so you certainly don't care." Zheng pointed out and turned to the only one on the table with a gap. "I asked Zhao Yezhi for the love potion. As for where to get it, can you guess?"

"I don't have so much time to chat with you here, if you want to talk, just say it, and I have to rush back to serve the empress." Mu Luoluo said coldly.
