151 can't guarantee that your child will live to tomorrow
"Your Majesty, can you let Xian say a few words?" Mu Xi'an suddenly said.
The emperor turned his head and saw that Mu Xiran looked calm, so he agreed curiously, "Say it."
"Mrs. Su and Mrs. Mu are both noble wives. If they are tortured, they will definitely not be able to bear it. Xilang has a way for them to tell the truth, but it still takes time. Please put them in the dungeon first and retrial tomorrow. Mu Xi'an's words are mysterious, but also convincing.
The emperor nodded slowly when he heard the words. He also knew that torture was only a last resort. If there was a way to make them tell the truth, of course he wanted it, so he waved his hand and ordered, "Yes, just imprison them as the female official said."
After Mrs. Su and Mrs. Mu were taken away, the emperor immediately asked with a smile, "I don't know what the female officer can do?"
Mu Xiran smiled inexplicably and replied, "Xiran has already spoken, and the solution takes time. Therefore, please allow Xiran to bring this Linglan back to Kunning Palace, and the emperor will know who poisoned it tomorrow morning.
"Okay, I'll believe you once. Don't let me down." The emperor looked at this familiar and calm face in front of him and felt like going back to the picture when he was alone with her 20 years ago, but time passed, and that person was no longer.
"Thank you for your approval." Mu Xian did not forget to worship the emperor again.
Then, Mu Xiran held the basin of Linglan and followed the queen out of the Qianqing Palace. When she stepped out of the palace gate to go down the stone steps, Mu Xiran's arm was suddenly held by a palm. She turned her head calmly and looked at the smiling woman.
"I didn't expect my sister to be so trusted by the emperor now. My sister is really happy. But as for the matter of Linglan..." Wan Zhaoyi glanced at Mu Xiran's tight Linglan, "I still hope my sister knows what to do."
"I don't even let Wan Zhaoyi down." Mu Xiran smiled gently and turned into a solemn look. "Xiran will never forget the love of the virtuous concubine for Xiran, so Xiran will find out the real behind-the-scenes murderer. In this way, can't you get rid of your mother's innocence?
Looking at the clarity of Mu Xi'an's eyes, Wan Zhaoyi realized that Mu Xi'an already knew who instructed him to poison the virtuous concubine. She raised her willow eyebrows, grasped Xi's arm, and whispered, "You'd better know the consequences of doing this. Once you anger him, you don't know your situation.
"So what? It's strange that he shouldn't have paid attention to the virtuous concubine. And..." Mu Xiruan glanced at Wan Zhaoyi's raised lower abdomen and sneered, "If Wan Zhaoyi doesn't let go, then Xirant can't guarantee whether your child can live to tomorrow."
"You?!" Wan Zhaoyi was shocked by her condensed eyes and took a step back.
Mu Xiran handed the Linglan in his hand to Xigu and casually tidyed up his clothes. "In this palace, I have always only heard newcomers laughing and didn't ask the old people to cry. I believe that Wan Zhaoyi will not understand this reason, so Wan Zhaoyi should hurry up to please the emperor now. Don't waste your tongue here.
Wait for the queen and her party to go down the stone steps and gradually go away.
Wan Zhaoyi on the stone steps looked at hundreds of white jade steps and only felt that the sunlight on the stone steps dazzled her eyes. Suddenly, she went to the edge of the stone steps and was ready to raise her feet to lean out...
"Zhaoyi's sister should be careful." Concubine Shu quickly grabbed Wan Zhaoyi's arm, "Zhaoyi, don't be confused. On the contrary, she can't frame the female official, but makes Zhaoyi lose a means to get her favor for nothing."
Only then did Wan Zhaoyi realize how impulsive she had just done. She quickly covered her chest and reluctantly smiled, "Thank you for reminding me. I'm impulsive."
Shu Guifei glanced at her delicate face, which was ten years younger than herself, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. However, for the sake of Wan Zhaoyi's use value, she also squinted. "My sister should always remember that the favor obtained by her face in this palace can't last long. Only by giving birth to a prince can you It can be powerful."
"But... the emperor has rarely gone to Jingren Palace recently. Even with the excuse of the prince, the emperor just came to sit for a while and stayed for a while." Wan Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows with sadness and even sighed repeatedly.
Since she entered the palace, she has been favored and has not even seen the emperor's face like this. She always felt that someone must have deliberately take away her favor, but Chu Luo said that the Du sisters had nothing to do with Mu Xilan, so she hesitated about the idea of Du's attack.
"In the palace, you have to endure the coldness and warmth of these people. How many people can always be spoiled? However, even if you use means, you have to imperceptibly. Unconsciously, just like Defei and Xianfei, one has no children, and the other has children but does not have that life. Shu Guifei pulled a deep smile at the corners of her mouth, and then patted her on the shoulder,
"Think about what I said to you."
Wait for Concubine Shu to go far away, Wan Zhaoyi slowly stepped down. When she put her feet firmly on the bluestone board, she looked at the fading back of Concubine Shu with a sneer. "I thought how smart I was and used me to get rid of the Du sisters. She reaped the benefits of the fisherman, but what I didn't expect was that Princess De and Concubine Xian were all hers. What a good trick!"
"Master, what should we do?" Nanya couldn't help asking.
"Now is not the time for infighting. It's time to get rid of Mu Xiren first." Wan Zhaoyi is not a confused person. Naturally, she understands who their biggest hidden danger is now.
As long as Mu Xi'an is one day, it will be difficult for her to stand in the palace. More importantly, Mu Xi'an knows about Zhaohua.
What about Du? She is just a clown in her heart.
In Kunning Palace, the flowery courtyard in midsummer has now become bleak, and the bluestone slabs are full of fallen leaves and flowers.
Mu Xiran put this lily of the valley on the desk in her room. Nianhua behind him didn't understand and was a little afraid. "Miss, this is poison. How can you put it in the room?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiran stared at her, "Linglan is also an herbal medicine, but if you use it carelessly, it will become poison. Look at it, this flower is like a bell, how beautiful it is. Besides, if you put it outside, I'm afraid it will wither overnight.
"What was the reason for that lady to bring it back? Is it to attract the murderer behind the scenes... But the people behind the scenes are so stupid? Nianhua thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure it out. He only looked at Mu Xian and waited for her to answer.
Mu Xi turned around, leaned against the desk, and his eyes were hazy, "Of course not. This lily of the valley is just an ornamental flower. Naturally, the lily of the lily of the valley that poisoned the virtuous concubine is not this one. So there is no need for the people behind the scenes to take risks. And I... just treat them in their own way."
When Nianhua heard the words, his eyes immediately showed panic and covered his mouth, "Miss wants to..."
"Shh." Mu Xian shook her head quickly, "Don't let anyone hear it."
"Ye, the maidservant will definitely keep it a secret." Under Nianhua's promise, there was a little vague expectation in his eyes, wanting to see what would happen to the person who was calculated by the young lady.
Mu Xiran bent the corners of her mouth and ordered, "Starting from tomorrow, collect the morning dew on the lily of the valley flowers every morning. The flowers and leaves of bell orchids are poisonous, and the morning dew is naturally no exception.
The night gradually came, and Mu Xi'an was ready to leave after serving the queen for dinner. The queen suddenly became curious, "I really want to know how Xi Luan knew the poisoned person behind the scenes with just one flower?"
Mu Xiran smiled calmly and replied, "Actually, Xiran won't use any method. The reason for saying this is that Xi Ran already knows the people behind the scenes.
The queen looked at her angrily and said with a smile, "I don't want Xilan to hide anything from me."
"After Mrs. Mu appeared, Xi'an thought about the several families that made friends with Mufu in the capital, coupled with the purpose of deliberately framing Mrs. Su and murdering the virtuous concubine, and finally came up with the people behind the scenes. Please don't blame Xi Jiang for concealing it. Mu Xilang's simple words have been obvious enough.
Sure enough, the queen nodded and held her hand. "Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will not object." This came out at first glance and let go of her hand. It's time for me to rest."
Mu Xi ran his knees and bowed, then Yingying went out, and the floral skirt flew to dance. Instead of going back to her room, she took Nianhua all the way to the dungeon. She still had something to do tonight, and she couldn't help but neglect it.
When she was about to get to the dungeon, Mu Xilan saw the slimming figure standing under the huge canopy. She walked over softly, "Cousin."
At this time, in the dungeon, a jailer with a food box slowly walked to the cell where Mrs. Mu was imprisoned and skillfully opened the iron lock. After Mrs. Mu saw the visitor with a little hope, her eyes dimmed in an instant.
The jailer put a simple dish and a bowl of rice on the table and said hoarsely, "Eat it."
The voice was distant and clear, but not like the impatience and arrogance that a jailer should have, which made Mrs. Mu, who was wary, tighten her body in an instant and nodded quickly, trying to wait for the jailer to leave before hiding the food.
but he didn't expect that the jailer didn't move at all. He stood still and picked up the rice again and put it hard, "Eat it!"
Mrs. Mu stood up cleverly, "I... I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat."
"If you don't eat it, you have to eat it all." At this time, the jailer was a little impatient. His fingers pinched Mrs. Mu's chin very quickly, and the other hand picked up the rice and stuffed it into her mouth.
"No! No, I don't want to eat..." Mrs. Mu pushed the jailer randomly with her hands, and her head also moved randomly, spit out the rice that was hard stuffed into her mouth. "No... No!"
