199 This ghost is smart and tight
Qin Yu left and moved out of the main courtyard by himself. There was a "haunted" there. It was clear that someone deliberately did it, and it must have been aimed at him. With her nature, she can naturally let the "ghost" fool around in the royal palace, but in the long run, she is afraid that it will make people panic and make the royal palace restless.
"Nanshi, go and call Qin Yi." Mu Xiyan leaned on the back of the chair impatiently and rubbed his forehead.
Soon, the curtain sounded, and Qin Yi came in, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Mu Xiran straightened up and turned his face: "Presumably you have heard about the haunted things in the courtyard. You are in charge of the big and small chores of the royal palace and know a lot about the royal palace. I want to ask what you think about this?"
"There is a haunted house, but my subordinates don't take good care of it. Please give your subordinates two days, and there will definitely be no more haunted things. Of course, Qin Yi will not believe in any real ghosts and gods.
"No, don't interfere in this matter for the time being, as long as you secretly send someone to guard it in the main courtyard." After saying that, Mu Xian slowly picked up the smile at the corners of her mouth, "I think someone wants to dig up the death of the first three princesses. In this case, we will do what she wants."
Qin Yi suddenly raised her eyes, "Madam means that the death of the three princesses...isn't it accidental?"
Mu Xilan raised her eyebrows with some amused and played with the silver-plated jasper bracelet on her wrist. This was the gift given to her by the eldest lady on the day she was a bride. "I didn't expect that Miss Qin, who had been around Qin Yu for so many years, would be fooled by the people in the West Courtyard. Qin Yi, should I say that you are stupid or nothing Where's the love?"
With a plop, Qin Yi quickly knelt down, "Madam, what happened back then was really too sudden. Moreover, at that time, the prince was away all year round, and although his subordinates were the general manager of the house, he rarely had contact with those princesses. What's more, my subordinates know some medical skills. Those princesses... did die of melancholy, and there is nothing suspicious.
"Of course I won't doubt your medical skills. But..." Mu Xiran suddenly paused, and his deep eyes were deeply meaningful. "It's hard to guarantee that others will use your medical skills to murder them."
Qin Yi was even more shocked when she heard the words. In those years, she was still young and thoughtless about everything. Now she is very likely to be used by others, so she also softened her breath, "Maybe it's really the carelessness to let others take advantage of loopholes."
"Therefore, since those people dare to kill the first three princesses, they will naturally hit me. And the prince is the best time to go out now. Originally, she thought that after Qin Yu left, she could hide in the bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, these people had been ready to move and waited for this day. Now she has no desire to be quiet.
"Madam, my subordinates will definitely investigate this matter closely and won't let anything hurt your wife." Qin Yi solemnly made a guarantee.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xilan suddenly shook her head with a smile and waved her hand to get her up. "You rarely come into contact with the tricks in these houses, and it is inevitable that people will be calculated." After taking a gentle sip of the hot tea, I felt a little relieved. "You do as I just told you to do first, and then I'll think about it."
Qin Yi took a look at the darkness in Mu Xiran's eyes and reminded him, "Madam, when the prince left, he explained that Qin Yan and Qin Han should obey his wife's orders." Seeing Mu Xiran nodding, she quietly retreated.
After Qin Yi went out, Mu Xiran stood up and walked into the inner room and called Nianhua, who was busy cleaning up. "You go to the second room of Sufu in the afternoon and get some orchids. When you come back, put them in the main courtyard room. Someone asked and said that I like orchids."
Nianhua looked at the unreal smile in Mu Xi's eyes and said, "Madam, it's finally time to take action."
"Yes, I won't move anymore. I guess I will run away from home before the prince comes back. Mu Xiyan raised her sleeves and looked at the empty desk. She was interested for a moment, "Nan Shi, help me grind it. I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time."
Nashi came with a small step, skillfully paving rice paper and grinding it.
The snow outside gradually faded. After lunch, Mu Xilan was ready to walk in the bamboo forest. As soon as he walked out of the attic, he saw Qin Yi hurried this way. He approached and reported, "Madam, Miss Xiuyue begging to see you."
"Let her in." Mu Xi looked a little surprised.
After a while, I saw Miss Xiuyue hurriedly bypassing the path. Seeing Mu Xian standing here, she came over with her skirt and looked a little unstable. "Princess, something happened! This morning, a group of people suddenly came to the Caixiu Pavilion and smashed it directly without saying anything. They didn't leave until they smashed the Puli.
Mu Xiran's expression was still pale, and only her raised eyebrows showed that she was slightly unhappy, "Qin Yi, do you know?"
"Madam, those people came and went quickly. By the time my subordinates knew that they had rushed, they had left, and they were all covered, and no one recognized them. Moreover, my subordinates just learned that several shops under the prince's name have been destroyed by these people. Qin Yi's words are like beads, calm and loud,
"So my subordinates speculated that these people came for the prince."
"Qin Yi, do you know the news that the prince left the capital, or only the people of Qinfu?" Mu Xiyan took the initiative to take Xiuyue's hand and returned to the attic. "It's cold outside. Let's go into the room and say."
Qin Yi followed and answered truthfully, "The prince left in a hurry, but in addition to the Qin Mansion, the officials in the court also knew it."
"It's also true. As long as the prince makes some movements, those people will hear the sound." A trace of anger flashed on Mu Xi's exquisite facial features, "In this case, this matter is a little complicated."
Nan Shi quickly raised the curtain. After Mu Xilan walked into the room, he helped Xiuyue wave off the snowflakes on her body, pulled her to sit down and comforted her, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt anyone. In the past few days, you have closed the door, sent all the embroiderers home, gave them more money, and let them come to the shop after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Xiuyue nodded, "Generally, there are fewer embroiderers left in the shop in the first month. Now, I'm afraid this shop won't be able to open for a while. Holding Mu Xiran's hand tightly, "The prince is not here. It's really hard for you to support such a big palace. What's more, this kind of thing has happened again, alas..."
Mu Xian did feel powerless, but he still said calmly, "It's okay. Instead, why don't you come and move to the royal palace to stay with me for a few days? I'm worried that it's not safe for you to live outside.
"Let's live here. Anyway, our wife is very boring. Just think of Miss Xiuyue coming to talk to our wife. Nanshi next to him came over with a teapot and persuaded him.
Seeing this, Xiuyue happily responded, "Okay, I happen to be alone."
I'm afraid that I can't sleep in this nap. As soon as Mu Xilan ordered Qin Yi and Xiuyue to go back to get some salutes, he saw Qin Yan coming in with a calm face, "Madam, the shop under your name has also been destroyed by these people."
Mu Xiran stood up and held his hand tightly on the table. "Is there anyone who caught it?"
"I caught a few of them, but they didn't wait to be caught back. On the way, those people either bit their tongues or swallowed poison and died. There are also a few extremely cunning, and the people sent by their subordinates are still arresting them. Qin's words were a little helpless.
"According to your guess, who is behind the scenes and what is its purpose?" Mu Xilan wants to ask Qin Yan what he means.
Qin Yan thought for a moment and then replied, "Except for the second prince, he is the fifth prince. These people want to provoke the relationship between the royal family and the Qin family.
Mu Xiran nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't agree with one thing. "The people behind the scenes want to provoke the relationship between the royal family and the Qin mansion, but I don't think it will be done by the two princes..." Later speculation, she didn't say it, but immediately ordered Qin Yan, "The shop implicated in the Qin mansion, you go to the warehouse in person. Send some money to the West Courtyard.
Qin Yan looked at Mu Xiran's calm and detached temperament from beginning to end. He admired him and made his words more and more obedient. "Yes, I understand. And. Madam, don't worry too much for the time being, because some of the shops under the prince's name are only in the dark, and these shops will still make a living as usual.
"Good. Go down." With her body, even if she forced herself to wake up, she would inevitably doze off, so it's better to take a nap when no one disturbs her.
When Nan Xiao saw Mu Xilan go into the inner room, he put down all the gauze by the window and followed him to the inner room. "Madam, if someone comes, let me wait?"
"If it's urgent, just wake me up." With that, she got into the bedding and could only sleep on her back.
Nan Xiao withdrew softly, sat aside and took out the child's belly pocket to continue to embroider.
An hour later, Mu Xilan opened her eyes in a daze and unconsciously leaned to the side. Although it was warm, it was very flat. She remembered that Qin Yu was not there and sighed slightly. These days, she always felt the place Qin Yu had traveled to. Obviously, she was used to it.
"Madam, are you awake?" Outside the gauze curtain, the sound of Nianhua sounded.
Mu Xiran laughed and sat up protecting her lower abdomen. "When you go to release orchids, what changes do you find in the dormitory?"
"I remember that my wife ordered to clean it once every three days, but I found that the house was very clean. Even if there were a little snowflakes in the yard, it was all cleaned." Nianhua recalled the scene where he moved the orchid in.
"This 'ghost' is smart and tight." Mu Xian smiled with interest, and then turned over and got out of bed. "After a while, you go to the West Courtyard to tell your aunt that you are not feeling well today."
Nianhua hung layers of gauze tents and said happily, "Madam finally knows how to make her have a good time."
