178 Now there is no reason to cover up this woman
Qin Yu said this to give the second prince a promise that he would not help either side. The second prince breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. Since Uncle Wang said so, he felt a little less pressure.
When he went back at night, Qin Yu told Mu Xilan about his thoughts, and the two fell asleep.
Four days later, it was the day of the second princess's funeral.
After guessing the hour, Qin Yu took Mu Xilan to the Second Prince's Mansion. Because it was simple, there were not many people coming. Qin Yu led Mu Xilan into the main hall, which was dressed as a piece of white silk.
Mu Xian thought that the woman lying in the coffin was only 28 pairs of flowers, but also sighed in his heart.
"It's her! The woman in the bridal chamber that night was her!" Suddenly, there was a sharp female voice.
Everyone looked in the direction the woman pointed and fell on Mu Xi'an.
Mu Xiyan also raised his eyes and looked straight at the woman pointing at him, and his heart tightened for no reason.
The second prince's heavy color immediately turned into displeasure when he heard the words. "What are you talking about in the mourning hall?" Then waved someone to take her down.
The maid seemed to shake her head violently, "I remember correctly. The woman lying in the wedding room that night was her. At first, I thought I was wrong... But today... I was sure it was her..." Breaking away from the restraint of the bodyguard, she ran to Mu Xi Ran crazily, "Maybe you have harmed my young lady!"
"Come on, take her down." Qin Yu's face instantly appeared with a haze and hugged Xilan tightly.
"No, you can't let this murderer go unpunished, our young lady's death!" The maid cried with pear blossoms and rain and was pulled out by the bodyguard.
"Wait! I didn't expect to hear someone making a scene in the mourning hall as soon as I came here. Princess Shu slowly came in with the help of the maid of honor, walked to the maid and looked at her, "Isn't this the maidservant next to the imperial concubine? What's the matter? Why did you make trouble in the mourning hall?!"
The maidservant seemed to see the savior and knelt on her knees in front of the noble concubine. "Mother, you must be the master of my lady. My young lady was very happy to be killed that day. My young lady is really pitiful..."
At this time, the second prince had come over and helped the noble concubine Shu, "Mother, the minister is already investigating this matter."
"Forgive the maidservant for saying something disrespectful. Even if the second prince finds out the truth, he won't say it. Everyone knows that the second prince likes Princess Jing'an. How can he shake out the princess for my daughter? The maidservant is really not taboo at all.
Mu Xilan sneered and put away her sleeves, "This girl is too arbitrary. How do you know that I killed your lady?"
"Then why did you appear in the wedding room?" The maid didn't answer the question, but she even had a little fierce courage! Without waiting for Mu Xiren to speak, the maid continued, "At that time, the second prince was obviously with the bride in the room, but my lady fell into the lake. Who was the person in the room!?
When Shu Guifei heard the words, she suddenly turned her head and stretched out her hand to hit Mu Xilan's face. Fortunately, Qin Yu reacted quickly, grabbed Shu's wrist, and her eyes were extremely cold. "I hope that the noble concubine will not listen to a maidservant casually."
"Then please ask the princess to answer the maid's question." Shu Guifei clenched her fist and withdrew her arm and looked at Mu Xilen.
Mu Xilan's eyes were clear like a clear spring at this time, with cold eyebrows and pink lips gently opened. "The second prince concubine is Xilan's sister-in-law. Xilan has no reason to kill Qin Si, let alone kill Qin Si."
When Princess Shu heard the words, she smiled gently, "Princess Jing'an is really indifferent. Every time she prevaricates with such words. It was the same with the beauty last time, and so did Qin Si this time. Last time because of the emperor, this time... Anyway, I can't let you fool me. Tell me, have you been to the Second Prince's Mansion that day?
"I've been here." Mu Xian answered truthfully.
This answer made the eyes of the people present look at Mu Xiqi in surprise.
"Can you go to the wedding room?" Shu Guifei continued to question.
Mu Xilan held Qin Yu's hand tightly and said, "I've been there."
Shu Guifei smiled and said, "Do you still need to continue to ask? A dignified Princess Jing'an did not entertain guests in Qin Mansion, but appeared in the second prince's house and also appeared in the wedding room. You didn't kill Qin Si, who believes this?!" Turn to shoot sharp eyes at Qin Yu,
"Prince Jing'an should not shield the princess. On that day, everyone knew that the prince dispatched the guards of the royal palace to search for the princess in the capital. Why, Princess Jing'an sneaked out to live with peace, but the prince didn't even know where the princess was? What's the reason to cover up this woman now!?" Shu Guifei's words are like beads, and the words are beaded.
"Mother concubine, Xi... Princess, you can't slander her innocence." The second prince grited his teeth safely.
Shu Guifei saw that this was the second time she had seen Jun Anran defend Mu Xiran like this, and it was also the second time she rebelled against herself. This also made her resent Mu Xi'an and have the idea of killing Mu Xi'an.
"Since so many of you want to protect this murderer, don't blame me for being ruthless." Shu Guifei put her hand in the hand of the maid with a cold face, "Let's go back to the palace."
"Hight! Without my order, Qin Bai is not allowed to let anyone go. Qin Yu's awe-inspiring atmosphere emanated in an instant.
The originally sad atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.
I only saw Princess Shu go straight to the door, and Qin Yu's face became more and more condensed.
At this moment, the woman who came in from the side hall smiled softly and bowed to the noble concubine Shu, "The women see the noble concubine. Please also ask the noble concubine to listen to the women's explanation.
"Who are you?" Princess Shu only felt that this woman was very familiar with her, but she couldn't remember it.
"The civilian woman is the second daughter-in-law of Qin's house." Leng's expression was respectful and his tone was soft.
I heard that it is Qin's daughter-in-law, and that's her own. Princess Shu bent her lips, "What do you want to say?"
Leng Shi slowly raised a pair of apricot eyes and turned to Mu Xiyan, "What happened that day was really strange. But after all, it was a little unlucky, and the women hesitated to say it. Now that the sister-in-law has passed away, the princess has been misunderstood again, and the woman has to say it.
The tone paused slightly and turned to look at the noble concubine Shu. "That day, when my sister-in-law was sent to the second prince's house, my mother and the people found that when they put on a dowry, they put on a set of children's pair of bowls. Everyone knew that this was indispensable. So the woman wanted to let someone quietly send her there. After thinking about it, she only thought that the princess was the most suitable.
Leng's explanation was reasonable, and even Qin Ze, who was beside him, agreed, "I quietly sent the princess here that day and did not tell the prince. That day, I followed the princess, put the children's bowls into the box, and quickly left the prince's mansion.
Qin Ze's favorite sister is this sister. Leng also has a good relationship with Qin Si, and these people in Qin family also know it.
So whoever lies can't be said by his brother who loves his sister.
Someone in Qin's mansion spoke for Mu Xilan, which was not expected by Shu Guifei. Although she hated it to death, there was still a dark smile on her face. "It seems that I was too impulsive and misunderstood Princess Jing'an."
"I hope the noble concubine will not listen to others in the future and frame Xiran casually." This time, Mu Xilan did not take the initiative to give in as in the past, but showed her arrogance. She even grabbed Qin Yu and shook her sleeves and left.
In front of so many people, it is estimated that only Princess Jing'an can say it.
The always delicate concubine Shu also trembled angrily at this time. Jun Anran quickly walked over and supported her in person, "Mother, I will take you to take you to have a rest first."
In the face of her own child, Noble Concubine Shu could only relieve her anger and was helped out of the hall by Jun Anran.
Out of the second prince's mansion, Qin Yu paused, pulled Mu Xilan's fleeing figure, and said sadly, "Xilan, when I find out this matter as soon as possible, I will take you to Xiangcheng."
Mu Xilan's tense body suddenly relaxed, "Qin Yu, you forgot to tell you. When I returned to Yifu that day, I promised my aunt to stay in Yifu for a few days. The color of his eyes gradually turned to look forward to it.
Qin Yu pinched her nose, "When do you like to beat around the bush?" Take her into your arms, "I'll stay with you."
Three simple words make Mu Xi'an feel at ease.
After lunch at noon that day, Qin Yu and Mu Xilan only took Nanxiao to Yifu and stayed in Luohua Pavilion. Nan Xiao was cleaning up the room, and Mu Xilan and Qin Yu went to the main courtyard.
Mrs. Yi hasn't got up for nearly ten days after suffering from the wind and cold, and she is still good and bad. However, when she saw Mu Xiran and Qin Yu come in, she still reluctantly smiled relieved and took Mu Xiran's hand. "That day, you hurried back and left, and I knew that something must have happened."
"Aunmother, don't worry about the outside. Just have a good rest." Mu Xiren looked at Mrs. Yi's increasingly weak face and endured a trace of grief in her heart, with a seven-point smile on the corners of her mouth.
"Okay, just see that you are fine." Seeing this, Mrs. Yi no longer mentioned it, and smiled and asked Qin Yu to sit down. "Your parents left early and may cherish family affection, which is also one of the reasons why I agree to marry you. I won't say more about the hardships that Xi Yan has suffered. I just hope you can cherish each other.
Qin Yu sat upright, put his hands on his legs at a loss, and his face was surprisingly positive, "I will."
Mu Xi looked at his restrained look and smiled, "Auncle..."
Mrs. Yi touched her head and couldn't hide her smile in her eyes, "Don't forget Qian Rui. Last time you were in the palace, he came back and said that you had forgotten him.
Speaking of Qianrui, how could Mu Xilan forget that it was her own brother? "It should be that he forgot me quickly and didn't come back to see me once. I don't know if I haven't seen you for more than half a year.
"Qianrui has been promoted to the guard of the fifth grade." Qin Yu interrupted.
Mu Xiran hurriedly stared at him, and Qin Yu quickly squeezed his lips and stopped talking.
