The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"It seems that His Highness the Seventh Prince has indeed broken with the Third Prince... When His Highness mentioned the Third Prince, he never had such an attitude."

Concubine Xian smiled helplessly, shook her head lightly, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, but she still didn't speak.He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and said: "The third prince did have something to order Jiu'er to do when he came here - His Highness must have already guessed that it was precisely for Jiu'er to make this sachet for the emperor... ..."

"Is he crazy... What did Xiao Jiu think, and he agreed?"

Song Zichen shook his head in disbelief, frowned and asked in disbelief.Concubine Xian pursed her lips, lowered her head to avoid his gaze, and then unconsciously shifted her gaze to one side: "Because——Jiu'er really owes him..."

Still unable to understand the cause and effect here, Song Zichen subconsciously sat up straight, and was about to ask more questions when Mu Qiu gently pulled his sleeves.Turning around subconsciously, he met the man's slightly dull gaze: "Mu Qiu..."

"Your Highness, don't ask any more questions."

Mu Qiu shook his head slightly, still holding his cuffs in his hands, and finally relaxed after a long while, looking at Concubine Xian and saying each word: "Mother, did you know about this from the beginning, or did you just learn about it later?" Known?"

"Jiu'er and I only found out later—but when we found out, we were already tied to the same boat with him, and there was no room for escape..."

Concubine Xian couldn't help being slightly startled, and instantly understood what he was asking. After being silent for a while, she finally sighed very softly and answered frankly.Mu Qiu looked at him quietly, his eyes finally softened from sharp and sharp again, and he nodded slightly: "I believe my lord... But my lord, the ninth princess is undoubtedly making mistakes again and again. Using one mistake to cover up another mistake, In the end, I will only paint the ground as a prison and trap myself in it..."

"That's why I took the liberty to come here today—I think this matter cannot be kept secret after all, but the third prince will probably obstruct the investigation process in order to protect himself. What if the emperor entrusts this matter to the seventh prince After investigation, the Third Prince and His Highness the Seventh Prince will inevitably have friction again, because His Highness the Seventh Prince has been implicated by Jiu'er's matter, so it's better to tell the matter frankly."

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and gave a bitter smile, sighed softly, raised her gaze to meet Song Zichen's, and said in a slow voice, "Remember, Your Highness, that sachet was indeed from Jiu'er, it is impossible anyway Washed off cleanly. Since the matter has been done, there must be a price to pay, even if Jiu'er is my own - my own daughter, there is no exception..."

When she said the word "personal", her expression suddenly seemed a little complicated, but she swallowed back what she wanted to say.Song Zichen noticed her strangeness, but he couldn't think of any other mystery in these words anyway, so he just nodded thoughtfully: "I see——I will try my best to deal with it, and see if it's okay. Is there any room for it? It’s just that you have to ask Xiao Jiu to be prepared, after all, this is not a small mistake, and it’s not something that the father can get over with two slaps and a few curses..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding...Jiu'er, she knows."

Concubine Xian shuddered subconsciously, but still responded in a low voice.Mu Qiu's expression suddenly moved slightly, he sat up a little bit straighter, looked at the concubine Xian and said: "Madam, the matter may not be that bad - after all, the sachet given by Princess Nine contains something that can excite Drunken, dreaming and dead' poisonous medicine, but the medicine itself is not poisonous. I just ask you, do you know where the other poison is hidden and how it was sent in?"

"Is there another poison?"

Concubine Xian couldn't help being slightly startled, she shook her head slightly after a long while, and her expression couldn't help being a little confused: "I really don't know about this - but obviously one medicine is enough, and one more way means more risk , why would he need to make such an unnecessary move?"

"unless--"

Song Zichen muttered something, and his expression couldn't help but darken.Subconsciously looking at Mu Qiu, he found the same light as himself in that person's eyes.

"Unless there is another person who happened to put this 'drunken life, dream and death' in the bedroom."

Mu Qiu nodded slightly, took his words, and responded slowly.Song Zichen couldn't help but think a little bit in his eyes, and checked the possible candidates one by one, but seemed to have lost his mind, frowned and shook his head: "But now, who can benefit from poisoning the father? Except me At that time, I was away sick, so I guess there was nothing wrong with me, and the remaining few princes should not be sure that they can win the throne. Isn't it a little too anxious to let the father be poisoned at this time?"

"Your Highness forgot, that poison can't kill people immediately."

Mu Qiu replied slowly, pondered for a moment thoughtfully, then met Concubine Xian's gaze again, and said in a slow voice, "Ma'am, I'm afraid I need to ask you for something—the place where you came Once you go, those who are interested are bound to be unable to hide it. When you go back, if someone comes to test your words with you, you will reply that His Highness is so angry because of this matter that you have made up your mind to investigate thoroughly, and none of the perpetrators behind the scenes will be able to escape. ...It would be better if you were distressed and flustered, can you do it?"

"It's not a difficult task——Qiu'er, do you mean that the other person will come to me to ask about this matter? But wouldn't this expose his behavior——"

"Outsiders don't know what's in the sachet. They only know that Princess Jiu gave the emperor a sachet. They don't know whether the sachet contains poison or something else."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a slight smile, said a word of comfort in a gentle voice, and then patiently guided: "Your Majesty, if you go out today, you should act a little bit out of your wits, so that outsiders will think that the commotion this time will never be small, and His Highness's determination It's already been decided. If the empress doesn't know what to say when that person comes, she can just keep crying and make a fool of herself, and it won't be difficult to get over it."

"Okay——since you said that, I have a bottom line in my heart."

Concubine Xian nodded, her expression finally settled down, and she replied seriously.After discussing some details, Concubine Xian stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them. After brewing for a moment, she covered her face and hurried out.

"Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu, why didn't you let me ask at that time—why did Xiao Jiu listen to Song Zixuan?"

Seeing Concubine Xian leave, Song Zichen hastily went up and closed the door tightly, then went to the side of the couch again, and asked in a low voice.Mu Qiu looked at him helplessly, shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Why is Your Highness acting so surprised? Back then, the Ninth Princess had a good relationship with His Highness, didn't she also listen to the Third Prince?"

"It was then, and now is now. Even if she listens to Song Zixuan again, she is not stupid, so why would she agree to such a big thing..."

Song Zichen shook his head, answered with a frown, and his expression became a bit complicated: "Also——I don't know if I feel wrong, but since I was a child, I felt that the concubine Xian didn't seem to like Song Zixuan. But she clearly She also takes good care of me, it shouldn't be because of our empress... Forget it, why not, I don't think Xiaojiu will obey that guy Song Zixuan with the presence of the concubine Xian."

"Your Highness is right, but I overlooked one point - at that time, Princess Jiu insisted on marrying into the Yunhuihou Mansion, so she became increasingly estranged from His Highness. Not only that, but she also alienated a lot from Concubine Xian. At that time, His Highness In the palace, if there is a rift between the concubine Xian and the mother and daughter of the ninth princess, if there is someone who lends a helping hand to the ninth princess, the ninth princess will definitely feel grateful to him, and even obey him..."

"You mean—that's when Song Zixuan brought Xiao Jiu under his wing?"

Song Zichen reacted abruptly, slapped his leg, and his eyes became a little angry: "This bastard...but how could he obey Xiao Jiukeng so much that he had to do it for him and might lose his head?" This is the case? Unless Xiao Jiu has something to fall into his hands—"

"I wasn't in the palace in my previous life, so I didn't get any useful information. It's embarrassing for His Highness to live again as if it was the first time..."

Mu Qiu looked at him, but finally couldn't hold back, and chuckled softly.Song Zichen blushed, rubbed his head and said with a sneer, "I was really stupid at the time—but I don't understand now? Mu Qiu, don't bully me, and tell me what's going on It's okay..."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea into the opponent's hand flatteringly, and bowed his hands in a dignified salute.Mu Qiu couldn't help but chuckled because of his posture, shook his head helplessly, and then became serious again: "If I guessed correctly, this whole thing is actually a trap, but it's just the Third Prince's next big game. It’s just chess——Your Highness, do you remember that the empress once mentioned that the emperor changed his view of Yunhui Hou, but it was actually because of the flood in the south and the lack of money in the court at that time. It happened that Yunhui Hou relieved the court’s crisis at this time ?”

"Of course I remember that I was the one who went down to deal with the flood in the south at that time. It was said that the dam was washed away and destroyed a lot of farmland and people..."

Song Zichen subconsciously nodded his head in response, his expression changed suddenly, he frowned and grabbed Mu Qiu's wrist, his eyes became a little stern: "No way...Mu Qiu, are you saying that — Could it be that Song Zixuan did this?"

"if not?"

When Mu Qiu met his gaze, his expression became serious, and he looked at him word by word and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, His Highness thinks——what's the reason? As for the Ninth Princess having to work for the Third Prince , do such a thing that will kill your head?"
