The country is not as pretty as the beauty

In the early morning, the palace was covered with snow.Winter is here, and the Spring Festival is not long away.

Dongdu is not very far north, and it is not far from the sea, but it is still cold in winter, and the north wind is bleak and bitingly cold.

There was an uproar in Ye Ting Yifang, first there was a scream, and then several people watched, pointing and discussing in low voices.

It turned out that a person died in the well in the inner courtyard. The water in the well is underground, so the temperature will be high, so it will not freeze in the cold winter. The dead body of the palace maid screamed in fright and her face turned pale.Looking around for someone to tell me that it has nothing to do with me, I just saw it by accident.It was passed on and on, all the people who were supposed to come came, and somehow it reached the Queen's ears.

The middle palace is the head of the harem in charge of the back court, but the consuls have always been in charge of the maids' trivial matters, and the queen doesn't care about these trivial matters, but Bai Muxue is different, she has personally seen every detail, let alone a human life, she values ​​life the most , regardless of honor or inferiority.

After hearing this, he hurried to the clothes shop, and ordered the six servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send people to investigate, and met Mu Lingrou on the way.

"Sister-in-law." After all, she changed her name and called "sister-in-law"

"It's Lingrou." As usual, Bai Muxue always liked to laugh, but Mu Lingrou couldn't laugh.

But still coldly said: "Where is the emperor's wife going in such a hurry?"

"A palace man Bengong died in the clothing workshop, so go and have a look." She didn't get Mu Lingrou's good looks, or that kind of gentleness, and she also used the "Bengong" she didn't call herself on weekdays.

"Why? Now the queen has to go and see this kind of thing in person." There are so many palace eunuchs in Ye Ting, and the death of people is a common thing, and the general punishment department and Dali Temple will not bother.The affairs of the back court are managed by the Shang Palace Bureau and the Internal Attendant Supervisor in the palace.

"Such a thing?"

"The life and death of the humble people have their own destiny, and it should be left to the humble people to take care of themselves." She only understated it, as if she took life and death lightly.

"You're wrong, it doesn't matter who it is or what it is. Once life is involved, it's no small matter. No matter who you are, you're just born well." Bai Muxue has always cherished her life, no matter who it is.

"It seems that the emperor's sister-in-law has a thorough understanding of the destiny, so Xiaorou just go over and have a look." Facing Bai Muxue's fierce words, she only smiled slightly, which only appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm afraid the bones will scare you." He glanced at Mu Lingrou, but spoke aggressively.But she couldn't hide her thin body, and she was an emperor, she must have never seen this scene.

"It's okay!" It seemed that she was used to this kind of thing.

Without waiting for Bai Muxue to be wondering, Mu Lingrou went first -- overstepping the rules.

"Empress, princess." The palace maids and eunuchs were surrounded outside the isolation, and they saluted when they saw the two coming.The internal servant supervisor acted quickly, and the internal servant uncle in charge of the law of the harem arrived early.

Bai Muxue and Mu Lingrou walked to the edge of the well. There was a dead body lying on the white cloth. It had already been frozen stiff, its eyes were open, but its face was peaceful, and there was no sign of struggling in the water.

"Have you found anything out of the investigation?" Bai Muxue is not afraid, the master of the harem, this kind of thing is not used to it, even if you hate it, you need to get used to it.

"Qi Madam, I haven't found anything yet, but from the surface, it should not be her..." The eunuch of the servant uncle observed for a long time and came to a conclusion. Since the queen came in person, he said it.

"She fell into the water by accident." Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Mu Lingrou interrupted him in public.

"Lingrou, who is this?" Bai Muxue also noticed it, but didn't understand what Mu Lingrou meant.

"Dongdu is cold and windy in winter, and the roads are slippery due to frost and snow. It's not impossible for a maid to get water."

"That's the case, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, just close the case like this, and record it as I said."

"Your Majesty?" The Supervisor of Nebo Temple looked at Bai Muxue.

She looked at Mu Lingrou with unsatisfied interest, those eyes were deeper than his, one could imagine how much she had in her heart... "Let's just write it like this."

The eunuch nodded.

"By the way, let's explain the truth to the onlookers in a while. Suspicion is not good in the palace, and it will spread to the outer court without talking."

The palace eunuchs still nodded.

The case was concluded. When the internal servant announced the conclusion, Mu Lingrou took a special look at the crowd and left.

After going to the palace where she lived, Bai Muxue didn't understand what she was doing, but she didn't want to refute her face.

"Why did you close the case like this?"

"Sister-in-law Huang is dissatisfied, why listen to it." She has learned Bai Muxue's tea making technique, and now she has studied a lot in the past few years, and she is actually more handy than this master.

She only brews a cup of tea to moisten her throat, just as Sun Shichang said: if the tea is brewed too much, it will be weak.

"I don't know what the hell you're going to do."

"Such a trivial matter as the death of a court lady should be searched to the bottom, making the harem uneasy?"

In fact, she really didn't want to talk, and she seemed to have finished talking for a year when she came to the palace.

"That can't be done hastily like this, after all, it's a human life."

"It won't end so easily." There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which made people feel timid. "Power, money, and desires in the palace are full of people's hearts, and there are constant disputes. The relationship between small people is often accompanied by interests. The person who killed her was also a woman, and she had no valuables in her body. As far as I know, this palace girl used to be someone The concubine's maid must have kept a lot of things in private."

It turned out that she knew more about planning ahead than Bai Muxue, and it seemed that she knew more about this kind of conflict between people's hearts than her elder sister-in-law.

"How do you know so well, and where did the concubine come from?"

"Concubines in the harem, 81 royal wives, but they are only broken at the emperor's brother."

Bai Muxue didn't answer these words. The queen has four concubines, and then there are nine concubines, nine Jieyu, talents, beauties... Let alone talents, there is not even a fourth concubine. Today's harem is really desolate.

"Let this case be handled by Lingrou. Lingrou doesn't want to see anyone who harms others." It's not that she doesn't care about life and death. She used to cherish her life. She was tired of the dangers of people's hearts and those shady deeds, and her heart froze. In those days, she was someone who had died many times, narrowly escaped death.

"Since you have already asked me, how can I not agree." Bai Muxue didn't hate her, she was grateful to her at first, but her cold attitude made him want to get close, but he couldn't do anything about it.

A few days later, news came from Ye Ting that Mu Lingrou had executed a court lady without changing her face.But of course not with her own hands, because a mere court lady doesn't need her to do it herself, it's just a glass of poisoned wine.

Her inadvertent sweep the day before yesterday identified the murderer. She is very good at observing people's minds, but no one can pry into her minds because there is no bottom to the bottom.

She has an aura that others don't have. She only needs one look and one movement, as if she can kill someone.

Of course, she didn't kill the palace lady rashly, but that night, she sent someone to bring the palace lady to her.

Did she say something?No, she didn't say a word, the maid confessed everything when she knelt down, because of the look in her eyes, the maid knew that if she didn't tell the truth, she would die ugly.That's why Mu Lingrou decided a person's life and death with just one look.

When she fell asleep at night, her mind was on Mu Lingrou. Tian Wuhen was very tired after a busy day, and he didn't bother with the affairs of the harem, so she fell asleep in a hurry.

"Today she dealt with a court lady, do you know?"

"En." He just said a word lightly, without thinking about her words.

"During the interrogation, the sharpness and cold eyes made people breathless. Even I felt scared when I was beside me. Before I said a word, the palace lady recruited."

"It's not good." What he heard was that the case came to light.

"A woman is so cruel, it's frightening, and the way she deals with it is merciless."

"I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't understand the situation when my aunt is married far away." After listening to her for a long time, he opened his eyes to face up to this question.

"Oh~ I'm just afraid that she will end up hurting herself in this way."

"how?"

"The heart is too high, too cold, that kind of arrogance is not good for women after all."

"Let her go." That arrogance may have been spoiled, but the cold and arrogant temperament, as well as the viciousness, were far beyond their reach, and he was not ignorant of it.There is always a reason for people to become like this, which made him more and more afraid of An Guohou.

...

A few days later, Su Dynasty is about to enter spring, and the New Year is approaching.All the clans and royal families gathered in Dongdu half a month ago, and the princes and kings were not allowed to enter Beijing unless ordered, except for the New Year's Eve.

This year, Mu Shiji and his wife, the eldest princess, did not come. Mu Shiji excused himself by saying that the eldest princess was ill and not suitable for a long journey.

There are many clan houses outside the imperial city for the clan to live in. At the end of the year, the roster before the spring banquet will be reviewed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ensure that there are no problems before showing it to the emperor.Because there are too many people in the clan and their hearts are different, Zongzheng Temple is also on standby at all times, just in case.

"Master, here comes the roster of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Ju Yuan stepped forward and handed him the roster on the case.

"Is Auntie feeling well?" He sneered, besides the name, there were reasons why each clan couldn't come in the brochure.

"Call Junchen over here."

Ju Yuan nodded and went out, and Junchen came in after a while, usually waiting in the dark for orders.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Bingzhou."

Lai Junchen was taken aback for a moment, the boy had said the word Bingzhou several times a few years ago anxiously, but he never did it.

"Are you going to start?"

He shook his head: "Just keep an eye on it."

Lai Junchen clasped his fists and nodded to retreat.

The Spring Banquet is held in Linde Hall, and the whole world celebrates together.Before the banquet, one must first worship the Taimiao and worship the sky to ensure the peace and prosperity of the Su Dynasty and the prosperity of the descendants.

It didn't take long for the Su Dynasty to establish a country, and it was only a few reincarnations including Gao Zu.There are many clans of Gao Zu, but they basically withered when they came to Tian Wuhen.

The New Year's Eve is the most lively every year, but he doesn't like it. Year after year, those people are the ones he sees, and the ones he doesn't see are them. They are called the same clan, but they are very jealous of him, the young emperor. Every year, there will always be some queens who don't know what to do. turn up.

Mu Lingrou likes to be quiet, since a few years ago she didn't like the excitement.Not entering the Eastern Capital for many years, there is Mu Shiji's obstruction, but also her own reluctance.

The author has something to say: In ancient times, a reincarnation lasted 12 years, and one life lasted 30 years.

Eyes that can kill, I also want to see it...
