Chapter 409 Bloodthirsty Peony

Mo Ao frowned, forcibly suppressed the violent emotions in his heart, and asked the eunuch, "Shang Yu Palace is not being repaired. What can happen?"

The eunuch looked up at the imperial concubine kneeling beside him, and his body involuntarily shrank, with obvious fear in his eyes. His actions made Mo Ao more and more angry. How could Xia Jingyan have such a high prestige after the harem? This is not a good thing. It must be different from our people. After all, she is a woman from Yuhan: "Say, what's going on?"

Under Mo Ao's cold question, the eunuch did not dare to hide it. He generally turned the matter of Shangyu Palace upside down: "To the emperor, today, slaves and others are repairing the garden of Shangyu Palace. They want to replace all the fences in the garden with white jade according to the wishes of the imperial concubine, but they don't want to dig them out when digging. Come...dig it out..."

"Tell it!"

"Yes, I dare not hide it. The emperor spared his life. Two skeletons were dug out in Shangyu Palace!"

Looking at the eunuch who kept kowtoing and begging for mercy, Mo Ao suddenly stared: "What are you talking about? What did Shangyu Palace dig out?"

"Try back to the emperor and dig out two skeletons."

Mo Ao's eyes changed, and his dangerous eyes fell on Xia Jingyan. He looked as if he were looking at some monster: "Imperial Noble Concubine, your palace is special, and there are skeletons buried in the garden?"

Xia Jingyan's face was pale, with confusion and innocence on his face. Tears kept flowing down, but the exquisite makeup did not damage at all. His whole body looked like a rain pear flower: "Your Majesty, how can there be those things in the concubine's palace? I don't know. It's really horrible. Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly. , return the innocence of my concubine. With that, his body tilted and fell softly covering his chest.

Mu Qingya took a step forward, held Xia Jingyan's fallen body, straightened her, and said, "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your health and don't let those who frame you succeed."

Xia Jingyan gritted her teeth and secretly scolded Mu Qingya for being nosy, but she couldn't help making a grateful look: "Yes, thank you for your concern."

Mu Qingya smiled and brushed Xia Jingyan's wrist with her fingers, with a trace of surprise on her face: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is a little weak. Please stand up."

Mo Ao frowned and said, "Get up. Just in time, I want to see what happened in Shangyu Palace." With that, he raised his footsteps and wanted to go out, but before he reached the door, Shen Ningyu's exclaimed:

"Liang Yi, you...what's going on..."

I saw that Liang Yi had fallen to the ground, and his mouthful of dark red blood spit out and kept twitching on the ground. And all the slaves who had been kneeling on the ground also fell down. They looked the same as Liang Yi. Soon, there was no sound and they all died.

"Your Majesty, these slaves..."

Mu Qingya frowned and grabbed Shen Ningyu, who wanted to come forward to check: "Yu Fei, you'd better not come forward. Those slaves have been poisoned and are hopeless."

Shen Ningyu covered her lips and exclaimed, "How come? Who is so cruel? These slaves are also human lives."

Xia Jingyan's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth with hatred. He couldn't wait to drag Liang Yi and others out to whip the body to relieve his hatred. When he died at this time, didn't that prove to the emperor that he killed them to achieve the purpose of silence?

Mo Ao's eyes swept over Xia Jingyan, and the defense in his eyes became more and more obvious, even with a trace of murderous intent.

Xia Jingyan quickly said, "Your Majesty, these slaves..."

Mo Ao ignored it and turned around and walked towards Shangyu Palace with a vast number of people.

Xia Jingyan's heart jumped, and the uneasiness in his heart was finally confirmed. Mu Qingya, is this the trap you dug down for me?

Touching Xia Jingyan's blade-like eyes, Mu Qingya looked back calmly: "What does the imperial concubine have to say to Qingya?"

"Princess, why is it so urgent to fry each other? Doesn't the princess know the truth that her lips are dead and her teeth are cold?"

Mu Qingya leaked a funny look: "This is exactly what I want to say to the imperial concubine. You and I are also from Yuhan. I have no reason not to help you, and I have also helped you get the high position of the imperial concubine. Unfortunately, the Empress, you were cautious in the concubine's position, but now you have almost lost it. The most people who die in the harem are those who can't recognize themselves.

"Well, that sounds good. What do you think you can get if I fall?"

Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Although there is no benefit, at least the gossip outside will not be so intense."

Xia Jingyan raised the corners of her lips: "I really underestimated you. So you already know."

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it."

"Oh, yes, I have promoted the rumors outside, but do you think my ability can make the rumors so widespread?"

Mu Qingya paused in her heart and said coldly, "This makes sense."

"Haha, you made waves in the harem and even let the people in the palace retreat from you. Do you think this is what the emperor can tolerate?"

Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Qingya has its own measure. It's better to take care of yourself." After saying that, without waiting for Xia Jingyan to say anything more, he went straight out with Duanmu Lingyu, who was Leqi and Yi Rongcheng's eunuch.

Xia Jingyan bit her lips fiercely: "Mu Qingya, do you think this can bring down this palace? You are beautiful!"

Outside the Shangyu Palace, the slaves who knelt on the ground did not look very well.

Mo Ao walked over and a bodyguard quickly came forward to report: "Report to the emperor that the garden of Shangyu Palace has been surrounded."

"Well, blood one, go and have a look."

As soon as Mo Ao's words fell, a erratic figure appeared in front of him, bowed and saluted, and quickly walked towards the Shangyu Palace Garden.

After Xia Jingyan came, he saw the scene of Xue as soon as he obeyed Mo Ao's instructions and walked into Shangyu Palace. His heart suddenly sank. The emperor even sent out the blood guard. Did he really want to abolish himself, the imperial concubine? It's impossible. Looking at his appearance just now, isn't he dissatisfied with Mu Qingya? How can you suddenly deal with yourself again?

Thinking of Duanmu Lingyu, who would come soon, Xia Jingyan's heart suddenly moved. Who would have planned to suppress Duanmu Mingli's momentum and reduce the impact of Yuhan on the vicissitudes of life to a minimum.

I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart. No matter how favored I was, I couldn't compare with the imperial power or his country.

Mu Qingya turned her head and looked at Duanmu Lingyu. Duanmu Lingyu nodded and signaled that it had been arranged. She was relieved and focused on Xia Jingyan's ugly look. She also figured it out.

During this period, Yuhan's momentum was great, and there was even a faint momentum to suppress the vicissitudes of life. In addition, Xia Jingyan was the deputy in the harem, the queen passed away and the deposed prince Mo Junming died. Several princes fought secretly. The Han family was weak and the Situ family was hit. The form of Canglan was not optimistic. Most importantly, Mo Ao His body is no longer good. It can be said that if he holds it like this, he is hanging with some precious medicinal herbs, that is, the royal foundation is rich, otherwise he would have died long ago.

However, although he attacked Yuhan, he did not dare to be too extreme. After all, it is not good to really annoy Yuhan. It was when she recognized this that Mu Qingya became more and more indifferent in the face of Mo Ao's forced questioning.

After a while, the blood came out and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, according to the situation in the garden, at least 12 people have been buried in the ground. However, most of them have been transferred, and the two skeletons that have been excavated were left behind because they were buried too deep before.

Mo Ao's face was pale. He really didn't understand why there were so many evils in his harem suddenly. His disgusted eyes fell on Xia Jingyan. Thinking of the death of all the palace people in her palace overnight, he became more and more taboo in his heart: "Who are those buried?"

"There are many pieces of clothes left in the soil, most of which are maids."

Xia Jingyan's face became more and more ugly, and a trace of despair rose faintly in his heart. Is the emperor really not going to leave her a way to live?

"Imperial Noble Concubine, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, my concubines... my concubines... Yes, those palace people are my concubines to be buried."

Mo Ao's voice was cold: "What a vicious poisonous woman."

"Your Majesty, I admit that those workers were ordered by my concubine to kill, but each of them is worthy of death. At that time, the concubine stayed on the throne for many years and was not favored by you. Those palace people actually stretched out their hands to the concubine and Han'er. They didn't care how they reached out to intervene in the palace of the concubine's palace, but they should not attack Han'er. He was the only child of the concubine and the favor given by the emperor to the concubine. Ze, how can my concubine watch something happen to the emperor's children, so they all deserve to die.

Mu Qingya secretly praised herself in her heart. Xia Jingyan was a palace concubine before, and it was nothing to kill two palace people. Mo Ao was afraid that her means were too bad, and she seized this point.

However, at this point, she can never allow Xia Jingyan to turn over. His eyes turned to a cringing old man not far away, turned his head to look at Leqi and shook his head slightly. Now that there is a blood guard, Leqi can't take action, otherwise it will definitely attract the attention of the blood guard at the first time.

At this time, the Jade Concubine came out of this head and came forward slightly and said to Shen Ningyu, "Princess Jade, is that mother in Yuntai Palace?"

Shen Ningyu was stunned and looked at Mu Qingya's quiet eyes. Her heart suddenly moved, knowing that this was the best opportunity to bring down Xia Jingyan: "Your Majesty, I think that the imperial concubine will definitely not make innocent murder. There must be a reason. By the way, that mother She is the slave of the imperial concubine's sister. Ask her and you will know what the imperial concubine is.
