Chapter 174 The Thief Shouts to Catch the Thief
Hearing what Empress Dowager Zhuang said, Shen Mushu, who had been behind him, couldn't help but jump and looked at Shen Muchen.
Shen Muchen asked, "Mother, where do you say you want to rectify the harem first?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Shen Muchen, then at Shen Mushu and said, "What do you think? Who did this start first? The charming thing in Mo Qingcheng seduced you two brothers to turn against each other! Who will be executed if she is not executed!"
When Empress Dowager Zhuang mentioned Mo Qingcheng, she was a little angry and felt as if there had been nothing in the palace since Mo Qingcheng entered the palace. Such a big thing happened today, which made Hongjin, who has always been optimistic, probably won't be able to turn over this time.
The more Empress Dowager Zhuang thought about it, the more angry she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was all Mo Qingcheng's fault. In fact, this is mainly because Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't like Mo Qingcheng very much, so she always likes to put all kinds of charges on Mo Qingcheng. It can be said that there is no need to add to the crime!
"The unmanious woman in Mo Qingcheng not only married three times! And he hooked up with people everywhere. Only a few days after entering the palace, he hooked up with books! The mourning family felt that Mo Qingcheng could only be blamed for this matter. They all went to the palace, and this woman's heart was not accepted. As soon as I saw her charming appearance, there was a fire in my heart!" The Empress Dowager Zhuang said angrily and looked at Shen Mushu with hatred.
As soon as Shen Mushu heard Empress Dowager Zhuang's words, his heart tightened. He knew that Empress Dowager Zhuang now believed that he had an affair with Mo Qingcheng. But there is nothing to do with Mo Qingcheng! And I don't know what's going on with that belt. What should I do?
Shen Mushu knelt down with a "bang" and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang and said, "Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry. My son and Jingfei are really innocent! There is nothing between us."
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Shen Mushu with some pain and said, "Is it innocent? That book, you tell your family how your belt is in Jingfei's palace? Do you want to say that the old man's eyes are dizzy and can't even recognize your belt?
"The mother, the minister admitted that the belt was indeed the minister's, but..." Shen Mushu explained in a panic.
Empresses Zhuang intercepted what Shen Mushu was going to say and said, "It's yours, that can explain the problem. You can take off your belt in Concubine Jing's palace. What do you think you are doing? You are not an affair with Jingfei, but who else can you have an affair with!"
Shen Mushu was choked by the Empress Dowager Zhuang and couldn't speak. Now he feels a little indefensible. He knelt on the ground and his face kept changing, thinking about countermeasures.
Shen Muchen's face was also a little ugly. Originally, he used the person who had been installed in Wenwang's mansion to steal this belt, just to teach Shen Mushu a good lesson. Let yourself take this opportunity to punish Shen Mushu to relieve his hatred.
Thinking of dealing with Shen Mushu, he said that the child brought back by Mo Qingcheng was his own. With the identity of the emperor's eldest son and biological mother, he should be able to keep Mo Qingcheng. In this way, I can punish Shen Mushu and flatter Mo Qingcheng, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zhuang would be so partial to Shen Mushu. Every word was picking the mistake of Mo Qingcheng. He didn't think Shen Mushu was a little wrong. This situation is not what you want.
Thinking of this, Shen Muchen opened his mouth. He patted the Empress Dowager Zhuang on the back and comforted the Empress Dowager Zhuang, "Mother, don't be angry. Take care of your body is the most important thing. Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to me. One of them is my brother, and the other is my favorite concubine. I will definitely deal with this matter well.
Shen Muchen's idea is that as long as this matter is handled by himself, it will be much easier. He can cover up Mo Qingcheng, and for Shen Mushu, with the Empress Dowager Zhuang, he can only punish him from entering the palace in the future. But there will be many opportunities in the future. Let's do it this time.
When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard Shen Muchen say this, she didn't understand why Shen Muchen wanted to cover up Mo Qingcheng and shouted, "This won't work. Your Majesty, you are busy enough to deal with government affairs every day. This kind of small matter of the harem should be handled by the mourning family!" Besides, it is because one of them is your royal brother and the other is your favorite concubine that they want to deal with it in person.
After all, when the emperor deals with it, he will definitely have a little emotion. If he doesn't handle it well, it will inevitably attract a lot of gossip, saying that the emperor is unfair and that the law of the harem is unfair. If such an opening is opened, how will the palace be managed in the future? If the other concubines rely on the emperor's favor and do whatever they want in the palace, how will the harem be?"
After saying this, Shen Muchen's face was not good. He didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhuang was so determined to deal with Mo Qingcheng. For a while, the atmosphere was deadlocked.
When the world was turning upside down in the Li Beauty Palace, Mo Qingcheng was much more deserted. After retreating all the servants, Mo Qingcheng and Yan'er sat in the inner hall.
Yan Er was obviously a little anxious. She said, "Madam, what's going on with this belt? Now even the Empress Dowager Zhuang knows about this matter. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhuang will make a fuss with this belt because she doesn't like you!"
Mo Qingcheng doesn't understand Yan's worries. She is also worried about some things that are really uncertain. Yaner, don't worry, sit down and we will make a good calculation. Do you think that belt really is King Wen's?"
Yan Er listened to Mo Qingcheng's words, sat down and recalled the situation just now. She had been looking at Shen Mushu's reaction just now, so she could best judge Shen Mushu's idea. After thinking about it, Yan'er looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, Yan'er looked at the look of King Wen just now. I'm afraid that this belt is probably King Wen's!"
When Mo Qingcheng heard Yan's affirmative answer, it was even more difficult. How could Shen Mushu's belt be in his palace? Although Shen Mushu repeatedly wanted to visit him, he refused on the pretext that men and women were not close to each other, and he didn't even let him enter the palace gate. It seems that someone is deliberately framing himself and Shen Mushu now. Will it be the queen?
While thinking about Mo Qingcheng, Yan Er suddenly sent her thigh and quietly pressed her ear to Mo Qingcheng and said, "Madam, do you think this belt incident is a play of Shen Muchen's thief shouting to catch the thief?"
Mo Qingcheng was shocked, but he didn't agree with this idea from the bottom of his heart. If so, there is no need for Shen Muchen to be so kind to himself. Just neglect yourself directly. Why bother to calculate yourself?
Yaner didn't know what Mo Qingcheng was thinking and said to herself, "I thought it was a little strange for Shen Muchen to come here today. He didn't even inform him that he was coming, so he entered the inner hall. I thought he was going to be strong with your wife again, so I followed him. But strangely, Shen Muchen came in and did not go straight to your boudoir, but kept walking around the inner hall. Seeing that I had been following him and got angry, he sent me away.
"And, madam. This inner hall has just been cleaned by me with my servants. When we cleaned it, we didn't see any belt. However, Shen Muchen walked so much that such a belt came out. You said, how doubtful this matter is, and how much it is like Shen Muchen shouting to catch the thief!"
Listening to Yan'er's words of these doubts, Mo Qingcheng could not find a reason to refute. The more she listened to Yan'er's words, the more she felt that Yan'er's words were reasonable. Shen Muchen, what is the purpose of doing this? Mo Qingcheng's heart was heavy. He had been guarding Shen Muchen, but he didn't expect that he still didn't prevent it. This time, Shen Muchen made such a big barrier for himself.
Mo Qingcheng thought that Shen Muchen liked himself so much that he should not attack himself. But I didn't expect that Shen Muchen played so much this time that he wanted to push himself to death!
After saying these words, Yan'er became more anxious and said, "Madam, according to Shen Muchen's love for you, he will definitely not put you in danger. This time, his purpose must be to calculate the king of literature!"
Mo Qingcheng listened to Yaner's analysis and looked at Yaner's anxious face. He couldn't help but think of an idea, but this is not the time to talk about this situation. Therefore, Mo Qingcheng temporarily suppressed the speculation in his heart. He took Yan'er's hand and said, "It's useless to be anxious now. We can only wait quietly to see what Shen Muchen can do!"
Then, Mo Qingcheng thought for a moment and added, "Yan'er, don't worry. Anyway, Shen Mushu and Shen Muchen are both brothers. If Shen Muchen wants to rectify Shen Mushu, he will also consider this level. He is doing this now, just to want Shen Mushu to have no more contact with me. I believe that as long as this goal is achieved, Shen Muchen will not embarras Shen Mushu much!"
Listening to Mo Qingcheng's words, Yan'er thought about it carefully and made some sense. She was still a little anxious, but it was much better than just now.
Mo Qingcheng watched Yan'er calm down and then relieved. He began to think about what Shen Muchen would do next and how to deal with them.
In Li Meiren's palace, Shen Muchen, Empress Dowager Zhuang and Shen Mushu were deadlocked there, but Shen Mushu thought for a moment and opened his mouth.
"Mother, the minister and Jingfei really have nothing to do with her. The mother insisted on guessing that the son and Jingfei had an affair, and now the minister can only tell the truth. However, if that person is mentioned, it must have an impact on her boudoir, so I want to ask the emperor to marry her first.
Shen Muchen looked at Shen Mushu and didn't know what he was going to do, but they both had the same starting point, but they didn't want Mo Qingcheng to be injured. Therefore, Shen Muchen simply said, "I promised to marry."
