180 Your own daughter was killed by your favorite niece
In the Falling Flower Pavilion, Qin Yu stood under the eaves outside the door and listened to Qin Yan's words to himself.
Qin Yan's eyebrows were all solemn. "From the clues found, it was neither done by the noble concubine Shu, nor the people of the fifth prince, let alone the people of Shi's mansion. It seemed that an unknown force was secretly manipulated it.
unknown forces? Except for the people of Shu Guifei and the fifth prince who would attack Mu Xilan, Qin Yu couldn't imagine who would frame Mu Xilan, unless... suddenly he thought of a person, "Are you sure that the person who fell off the cliff was Chu Luo?"
Hearing the words, Qin Yan's face was stunned and recalled what happened that day. "I watched Chu Luo fall into the cliff with my own eyes. In order to take people down the cliff to see it, but... there were weeds under the cliff, and I really didn't see the body."
Qin Yu also doesn't believe that Chu Luo will pick up a life when he falls from the cliff, but it is not impossible. If what happened in the second prince is Chu Luo's plan, then he can't be underestimated.
After all, after the Chu family was sealed, the power of the Chu family in the dynasty has also been uprooted layer by layer...
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's face darkened, "Let Qin Han secretly lead people to quietly look for Chu Luo's traces. No one should know about this. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Qin Yan was about to leave when he saw Mu Xilan, who had already entered the yard.
"Go down." Qin Yu ordered again, and then Qin Yan nod and left.
Mu Xilan's face was a little bad and slightly tired. It can be seen that Mrs. Yi's condition is getting worse day by day. She looked up and saw Qin Yu standing under the eaves looking at her. Mu Xilan bent her lips and smiled, "What's the progress in Qin Si's affairs?"
Qin Yu then walked down in person, took Mu Xilan's shoulder, and walked back to the room together.
"The matter is a little complicated, and Qin Yan is still investigating." After saying that, he helped Mu Xi to sit down and asked, "Is your aunt looking better?" Even if he knows Mrs. Yi's condition, he still wants to ask a question with concern.
"It's still like yesterday. I can only try my best to make my aunt happy." Mu Xiran leaned his head on Qin Yu's chest and held his hand. "My uncle said that if I asked the ancestors of Shi's house to come the day after tomorrow, maybe my aunt would be happier."
Qin Yu said obediently, "That's right."
After that, the two fell into a brief silence. After Qin Yu finished thinking about things, he found that the person in his arms had fallen asleep and bent down to look at her quiet sleep. He also felt a little quiet, and then picked her up and put her in **.
It was still early. Qin Yu sat by the bed for a while and then went out.
When Mu Xilan woke up, the sky had darkened and breathed in a daze, "Nanxiao, what time is it?"
Nan Xiao walked over and said, "It's already time. Madam, the prince just confessed that he may or may not come back tonight. Seeing that his wife's face was still indifferent, Nan Xiao couldn't help lowering his voice, "Madam, aren't you afraid that the prince will go... to the place of fireworks?"
Mu Xilan tidied up her clothes and said funny, "Even if I want to go, I can't stop it."
"I can't stop it, but my wife can talk to the prince. If the prince falls in love with the woman outside, won't his wife be sad? Nanxiao seems to be more worried about this kind of thing than Mu Xilan.
"The prince has been alone for so many years, have you ever seen a woman who has fallen in love with a place of fireworks?" Mu Xilan was still very relieved about Qin Yu in this regard. He pulled his shoes and walked to the round table, "What good food do you have tonight?"
Seeing this, Nan Xiao had to restrain his mind and continue to ask questions and obediently put the food, "It's all my wife's favorite food."
Mu Xilan grinned and picked up his chopsticks. "If Qin Yu is obsessed with some woman outside, how could he deliberately ask the kitchen to do this for me? And I, a lady from Mufu, has nothing worth taking advantage of. Then he pulled Nanxiao and sat down, "I can't finish it alone. Let's go together."
Qin Yu still came back at night, but it was already midnight when he came back. The people in Yi's family fell asleep early. He returned to the room, took off the cold robe, got into the quilt to warm up before holding Mu Xilan in his arms.
Mu Xilan muttered, and Qin Yu couldn't hear what she said, so he had to touch her head and fell asleep.
When Mu Xilan took Nanxiao to the main courtyard, the two ladies of the second and third rooms of Shifu had arrived and sat at the round table in the room.
Mu Xiyan came in and worshipped the two ladies perfunctorily and went to Mrs. Yi's bedside to sit down and put up the quilt for Mrs. Yi.
"It's okay if Princess Jing'an doesn't say goodbye to me, sister-in-law, you, a lady, should be worshipped by the princess." After saying that, the wife of the second room sighed and turned to look at the third lady waiting for her to speak, but Yu Guang stared at Mu Xiran.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xilan did not respond at all, but whispered two words to Mrs. Yi.
However, there is also a reason why the second wife of the Shi family hates Mu Xilan. Everyone in this capital knows that Yifu took out the evidence that Chufu betrayed the Sheng Dynasty for his niece, so Shi Shi, the young grandmother of the Chu family, was also assigned to the border. Shi Daixiao is the only daughter of the second wife of the Shi family.
"Aunmother, I will help you go down for a walk. It's not good for the body to lie on ** all the time. Mu Xian thought that Mrs. Yi had been lying in ** for more than half a month and was a little worried, so she proposed.
Mrs. Yi responded happily, "Okay, okay, I also feel that I'm getting moldy."
Mu Xilan lifted the quilt, took the thick shirt in Xiaoque's hand and put it on Mrs. Yi, and helped her get out of bed. The moment Mrs. Yi stepped on the ground, she almost fell, and Xiaoque next to her held it before she stood firm.
Mrs. Yi smiled quickly and said, "It's useless when you're old."
"No, my aunt is still very young. Don't always say that you are old." Mu Xi ran carefully and walked around the house. From time to time, the two talked and laughed constantly.
It made the second lady and third lady of the Shi family sit aside embarrassed. Seeing this, the second lady pinched the third lady, but the third lady shook her head and remained silent. The second lady looked at the third lady with a little hatred, then coughed twice and said, "Sister, my sister-in-law and I have something to tell you today."
Mrs. Yi just looked at it and said, "What's the matter? Say it."
Mu Xi'an also wanted to know the purpose of the two wives of the Shi family, so he helped Mrs. Yi sit down and help Mrs. Yi start rubbing her legs.
The second Mrs. Shi family brewed her words before smiling and said, "I'm afraid you don't know the situation outside these days. Since the emperor was seriously ill, all forces in the court have been ready to move. Of course, our Shi family will inevitably be involved..."
"Mr. Fang, if you are talking about the middle court today, I can't greet you. I'm not in good health, and I don't want to listen to these things. You'd better go back." Mrs. Yi interrupted the second lady coldly and her eyebrows were cold.
When the second lady saw this, she could only swallow a bunch of words she had prepared, but when she thought of what her master told when she left, she still hesitated for a long time and said, "But in today's situation, even if Yi Fu is willing to stay out of the matter, I'm afraid that those people will not let Yi's mansion."
Mu Xi ran slowly turned his head, "Who are those people mentioned in the second husband population?"
The second lady lowered her eyes, avoided Mu Xi's fierce eyes, and sighed, "Actually, doesn't everyone understand psychologically? On that day, Princess Shu openly framed Princess Jing'an in the second imperial concubine's mourning hall. If it hadn't been for the people of the Qin family to stand up and speak, maybe..." Her tone paused. She peeked at Mrs. Yi's face and then continued,
Maybe the princess has become the murderer of the second prince. This matter is clearly that Shu Guifei wants to deliberately make things difficult for Yifu.
Mu Xiran's face changed slightly and quickly looked at Mrs. Yi. Sure enough, Mrs. Yi's face turned pale and her breathing was a little short. These days, Mu Xi has been hiding from Mrs. Yi, but she doesn't want her to worry about herself. I didn't expect the second lady of the Shi family to say this today.
"XiRan, why don't you tell your aunt about this kind of thing?" There was no blame in Mrs. Yi's tone.
"Aunmother, it's just a small thing. Isn't it all right?" Mu Xian clenched Mrs. Yi's hand and comforted her gently.
The second wife of Shifu still didn't stop. "With the first time, there will be a second time. Our Shifu and Yifu can't be bullied."
The third lady who didn't speak from beginning to end also opened her mouth quietly, "Although what my sister said is a little direct, it is true. Shifu and Yifu are both glorious and lost. If the fifth prince loses and Shifu loses power in the end, then Yifu will inevitably be implicated. It's better for us to fight for the throne for the fifth prince together now.
" Shut up! This kind of rebellious words is also something you dare to say casually. If you let someone who wants to hear it, tomorrow will be the crime of killing the head. Mu Xian slowly stood up and looked at the two with a tight face, "And the prince is the righteous successor."
The second wife of Shifu sneered when she heard the words and glanced at Mu Xilan, "Sufu has lost its power, even if the prince has the support of the crown princess. That's also vulnerable."
"A thin camel is bigger than a horse." Mu Xilian didn't want to argue with these two people, so he smiled coldly, "No matter what, Yifu will not participate in any forces. Nanxiao, Xiaoque, see you off!"
Nan Xiao and Xiaoque also came over with an angry face, pulled them up and walked out.
"Aunmother, help you**." Mu Xi'an regained her quiet face and picked up Mrs. Yi with a dark face.
"Shi Hanrou, you actually treated Shi Fu like this for the sake of an outsider. Do you know how the virtuous concubine Shi Daihe died? She was killed by Mu Xiluan. Shi Daihe is your own daughter! Your own daughter was killed by your favorite niece?!" Mrs. Shifu roared crazily before going out.
Mrs. Yi stiffened and paused before taking a few steps.
