Chapter 237 Betrayal
At the beginning, Mo Ziyao was so disgusted with Gu Qinger, but even so, she did not move the imperial descendants in her belly.
On the contrary, she is still trying her best to protect it, but her own carelessness will lead to the insecurity of the imperial family. Qing'er's child was gone, and she even had to push her head, which almost made her doomed.
Thinking of Qinger, Mo Ziyao naturally did not forget how she targeted herself and framed her again and again over the years. That kind of hatred can't be flattened by time.
Also, who gave her the musk and crane top red that can make people slippery? Although it has been tracking, there is no clue yet.
Mo Ziyao has always suspected that there is a pusher behind the scenes, directing all this. Although she looks calm now, she knows that as long as she is alone, that person will not let her go easily.
Although Mo Ziyao is not a good person, she has never been a malicious person for no reason. If anyone wants to hurt her, she will certainly not be soft-hearted.
The hand held by Ruan Lingzheng gradually clenched and listened to him smile: "Zi Xinyao."
The four words, just like the time when I believed her in Xilin Palace.
Mo Ziyao couldn't help raising her face and asking him, "Do you believe Yao'er's words?"
"You have to take an inch." Ruan Lingzheng stared at her slightly and said with a smile.
Mo Ziyao was a little frustrated, but she heard him say, "I'm going to believe it all."
looked at him in surprise, but saw the smile on the corners of his mouth, and he had smiled faintly. Although he said "planned", Mo Ziyao had already understood.
Ruan Lingzheng hugged her gently and whispered, "I've also drunk chicken soup, and I've heard your opinion. You can go back."
Direct and gentle expulsion order, oh, indeed, I just came in the name of sending chicken soup. After all, this is the imperial study. After staying for a long time, the impact is not good. Mo Ziyao naturally understood this, left his arms, cleaned up the dishes, saluted him, and retreated.
When I got outside and looked sideways at Chu Qingtian, I suddenly saw the Empress Dowager coming from afar. Busy with Wanqiu, he said to her, "I have met the empress dowager."
Late Qiu also said, "I want to see the empress dowager."
The Empress Dowager said, glanced at the two people, and then frowned slightly: "The mourning family seems to see Yao coming out of the imperial study?" I could hear that her tone was a little unhappy.
Although she heard the displeasure of the Empress Dowager's words, she had the privilege to enter and leave the imperial study. It was impossible for the Empress Dowager not to know. She is unhappy, but she just doesn't want to see the harem concubine in politics.
Mo Ziyao thought of this, but did not panic. She gently nodded her head and said, "Yes, I was afraid that the emperor would stay up late and couldn't stand it, so I made some chicken soup and sent it over."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face softened a little, and she only said lightly, "Yao Guifei has a heart." After saying that, he didn't look at her, but held Lu'er's hand.
Mo Ziyao hurriedly leaned away, but the empress dowager suddenly stopped, looked back at her and said, "Last night, something happened to Mrs. Ya. Ma pleaded with her family to punish Dr. Lin. What do you think?"
The Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned 'Ma', but Mo Ziyao still hasn't realized who it is. Wanqiu whispered, "Mother, it's Mrs. Liu."
After quietly looking at Wan Qiu, Mo Ziyao lowered her head and said, "The emperor has sent someone to investigate this matter. It's not easy for me to make a conclusion."
Last night, in the hall, Dr. Lin was just anxious to say something wrong in the face of the Empress Dowager's question, which attracted the hatred of Mrs. Ya and Mrs. Liu. However, is it that the Liu family was angry with Dr. Lin because they couldn't find the murderer, or did Dr. Lin know something and the Empress Dowager can't tolerate him? But if you want to say it yourself at this time, you don't know what the Empress Dowager means.
Hearing Mo Ziyao's answer, the Empress Dowager only snorted slightly, but no longer embarrassed her. She only held Luer's hand and turned around again and walked to the imperial study.
Until the Empress Dowager went far away, Mo Ziyao was still stunned and couldn't react. I remember that half a month ago, because of her own reasons, Ruan Nanguo was able to avoid losing the iron ore. She also said that she put down her old idea, but now I'm afraid that she is no longer clean and still clings to the emperor, which makes her feel more disgusted.
Mo Ziyao laughed and did not care about the empress dowager. Everything she did was just for Ruan Lingzheng's good, which was the same as herself.
More importantly, Ruan Lingzheng believes in her.
"Mother." Wanqiu whispered, Mo Ziyao shook her head and said softly, "Go back to the palace." It's better to leave first. You can't intervene in this matter.
After returning to Yuyao Palace, he had nothing to do, so he went to sleep. Although he did not sleep soundly, it made people feel more or less energetic. After lunch, I remembered that Mrs. Yun also had an imperial descendant, so I asked Wanqiu to prepare some supplements to send to Yongshan Palace, and then thought about the incense given to Chu Qingtian in the morning, and I don't know how he was doing.
In this way, when I had dinner, I saw my father-in-law Ji Nian coming in from outside and said to Mo Ziyao, "Mother, there is a father-in-law outside who said that there was something for you."
Mo Ziyao nodded and motioned him to present it. Ji Nian took it over. She saw that it was actually a bag of incense. On the side, there is still a small section. Mo Ziyao recognized that it was the part she gave to Chu Qingtian in the morning and took it from Mrs. Ya's palace.
Mo Ziyao's heart tightened. Since Chu Qingtian dared to send the eunuch so openly, he wanted to tell himself that the incense was normal!
No abnormality, no abnormality, then, you can only think wrong, not the Empress Dowager!
Mo Ziyao suddenly got up. Which link went wrong? You can't guess wrong!
Thinking about it, she saw Wanqiu push the door in. Her face was not very good-looking and said a few words in Mo Ziyao's ear, while Mo Ziyao was stunned first and then suddenly froze.
She said that after she came out of Yongshan Palace, she saw Mrs. Yun's maidservant Leer throwing out all the gifts sent by the concubines. Mrs. Yun's caution was not surprised by Mo Ziyao. Anyway, it's good to accept it. As for whether to accept it or not, it's Mrs. Yun's own business.
These did not make her nervous. What made her body stiff was the words after the late autumn: Mrs. Ya's stillbirth has progressed, and it is said that the problem is very likely to appear on the glazed necklaces given to her by the Empress a few months ago.
Mo Ziyao's fingertips trembled and suddenly got up. He raised his hand and handed over the incense in his hand to Wanqiu. Chao Jinian said, "It's okay here. You go down first."
Ji Nian answered and retreated.
Mo Ziyao tried to suppress her heart's turbulence like a storm. She glanced at Wanqiu and asked in a low voice, "How did you know?"
Wanqiu found that Mo Ziyao's face changed in an instant, and her face also changed slightly. She bowed her head and said, "I heard what the emperor said."
Mo Ziyao only felt tight. Emperor, it turned out to be what he said.
"Mother..." Wanqiu looked at Mo Ziyao and called carefully.
Mo Ziyao's hand holding the veil tightened slightly. She suddenly understood why Ruan Lingzheng got angry for no reason in the morning and asked her if she had done anything to Mrs. Ya's child.
"I said no, he said he believed it. But why does he doubt me so much because of a string of glazed necklaces? Mo Ziyao suddenly felt that this matter was not so simple. In retrospect, the necklace was handed over to Yuzhi from processing to the finished product, and she just took out the design drawings.
Thinking of Yuzhi, Mo Ziyao almost exclaimed. From that day on, she began to become very different from usual. Originally, she wanted to have a good talk with her, but recently there have been too many things to ignore her. But in retrospect, she was frightened to find that there were many things that actually had Yuzhi's figure. I just didn't care at that time.
"Where's Yuzhi?" Mo Ziyao's face was a little pale. After looking around for a week, she asked.
Wanqiu said, "I haven't seen her since Tianze Palace came out, and I don't know where she has gone."
Mo Ziyao only felt that her heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. If she doesn't understand what's going on, she doesn't deserve to live in this world anymore!
For so many years, although she has seen through the coldness and warmth of human feelings in this deep palace, she has always been glad that there are three smart and outstanding maids, Yunlan, late autumn and Yuzhi. However, the facts are in front of her, and she has to believe that what she framed is the people around her trust.
Mo Ziyao laughed weakly and said, "I didn't expect that the maidservant I trusted most would design this palace with others." His eyes stared coldly at the late autumn in front of him, "Oh, I, Mo Ziyao, ask myself sincerely to you guys, and treat you like sisters, but do you still want to harm this palace? Why?" After saying this, Mo Ziyao suddenly fell into the armchair. Yuzhi's betrayal made her angry and sad.
Wanqiu said "ah" and was obviously surprised. From Mo Ziyao's expression and words, she also understood in an instant, lowered her head slightly, lowered her eyes and dared not speak.
Anger can't solve the problem. After Mo Ziyao calmed down, she has thought too much. She really wants to sneer at her several maids. After asking Wanqiu to go to Yongshan Palace in the morning, she didn't return until now. Where has she been for such a long time? What did you do?
Also, what she said just now, she found something wrong after calming down. Listen to what the emperor said. No wonder she hasn't been back for so long. She actually went to see the emperor and really underestimated her.
He glanced at her and said with a sneer, "What do you think the emperor told you? When did you go to see the emperor?
Wanqiu's body trembled, and his face became ugly in an instant. A look of panic and regret appeared in his eyes. He suddenly bent down and knelt in front of Mo Ziyao, raised his right hand and said firmly and powerfully, "Mother, your life is your ghost. If you have two minds, you will fight on the same day. Thunder can't die!"
Mo Ziyao's loyalty to her was not moved at all, but still asked coldly, "Since you dare to make such a poisonous oath, I also believe in you. Do you have the courage to swear? Don't you dare to say the person you are loyal to?" When asked this, several people had flashed in Mo Ziyao's heart.
"The maidservant is not afraid to say it, but..."
"And what is it?" Mo Ziyao is almost out of patience. Seeing that Wanqiu was still looking at his head and looked at the tail, he snorted coldly, "I don't want your life or death. Since you don't want to say who that person is, I won't force you. However, this Yuyao Palace can no longer tolerate you. Go ahead and go back to the person you deserve to be loyal to.
"Mother..." Wanqiu shook his head repeatedly and knelt there, with something crystal rolling in his eyes.
Mo Ziyao was a little unbearable and said, "I promise here that I will never embarrass you in the future." After saying that, he turned around and stopped looking at her.
Hearing that Mo Ziyao was going to drive her away, Wanqiu's face finally showed a panicked look. She went forward to hold Mo Ziyao's sleeve and mourned, "Your Majesty... Don't drive me away, or the emperor will blame me. Madam, I beg you."
Mo Ziyao's eyes moved slightly, and she understood Wanqiu's words. She actually had a little transparent feeling in her heart and smiled and said, "Is it... the emperor arranged for you to be around this palace?"
Wanqiu was determined not to hide it anymore and said truthfully, "Yes, the emperor asked me to protect your safety by my mother, but I didn't want you to know, so I can't say it."
"Na Yuzhi..." Mo Ziyao frowned and asked slightly.
