Chapter 253 Secret

Her heart was slightly moved, but Mo Ziyao stood still and only asked, "What secret?" I'm really curious. What was hidden in her heart that made her think it would have changed her father's life?

Meng Xiuyuan quietly looked at Yuzhi and Wanqiu behind Mo Ziyao and whispered, "The concubine only talked about this matter with the noble concubine."

Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally stepped forward.

"Mother!" Wanqiu called in astonishment behind him.

Mo Ziyao raised her hand to signal that she didn't have to come forward. Meng Xiuyuan was not lying to her about Xing's hidden things, and she didn't dare to play any tricks at this time.

Meng Xiuyuan still knelt down. Mo Ziyao came forward, bent down and put her ears over. She straightened up slightly, approached Mo Ziyao's ear, and whispered, "What the concubine wants to say is about the imperial descendants in Yunxian's belly."

Mo Ziyao was stunned and listened to her continue to say, "Her child is difficult to be born."

Shocked all over, Mo Ziyao suddenly remembered the day she celebrated the rise of the noble concubine Hui. She left early and went to the Yongshan Palace. At that time, she also praised her neat mind and knew that both sides had to take care of it. First of all, it didn't seem to be like that.

She raised her lips and smiled: "The noble concubine may have guessed something. Yes, that day, the concubine went to Yunxian's Yongshan Palace and accidentally got this from her." With that, he raised his hand and took out an orange handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Ziyao.

Mo Ziyao reached out and took it, pinched it with her hand, and found that there was still a hard thing in it. Before opening it, a familiar fragrance floated out from the veil. It was the smell of sandalwood, Mo Ziyao knew, but when she opened it, she was stunned.

There is a nail-sized black-blue spice lying between the palms of her. She has seen this thing. That time, in the incense burner accidentally broken by Hui Guifei's bedroom was inlaid with spices that were almost the same.

This is not ordinary sandalwood, but pure sandalwood.

Mo Ziyao suddenly straightened up in surprise, but her thoughts turned slightly and she thought a lot. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Meng Xiuyuan and questioned, "How can you find this in Yunxian's palace? You know, she is also deeply involved in spices and is unlikely to recognize pure sandalwood.

Meng Xiuyuan explained, "This is just a piece of waste."

"Waste?"

"Yes, the Empress doesn't know that pure sandalwood does not refer to a single spice, but is made of a mixture of a variety of raw materials. In addition to sandalwood, it also includes purple and magic pure chestnut. In addition, there are more than a dozen precious and rare spices mixed with it. To make pure sandalwood, it can only be completed under harsh conditions such as heat, temperature, humidity, refining times, etc. And this is just the remnants of Yunxianfei's refining.

Mo Ziyao frowned and listened to her continue to say, "Oh, the empress dowager's means are really smart. The concubine told her the raw materials. She knew that it would be very difficult if she did it herself. However, she reacted quickly and rewarded her concubine with a piece of pigeon blood soaked in fragrant flowers the next day.

Referring to pigeon blood again, Mo Ziyao's fingertips trembled slightly. Sure enough, this is also part of the Empress Dowager's plan. While thinking about it, she heard Meng Xiuyuan laugh at herself: "The concubine understands what the empress dowager means. She wants to give this pigeon blood to the noble concubine through the hand of the concubine."

Mo Ziyao looked at her and asked lightly, "And then you thought of Yunxianfei and wanted her to finish this on your behalf, right? Just, why are you so sure that she will do that?

Meng Xiuyuan raised her head and said word by word, "The concubine is not that good. The concubine is just cooperating with her."

Looking at Mo Ziyao, she continued to say coldly, "It happened that at that time, she had just become pregnant with imperial descendants."

Mo Ziyao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stepped forward and said angrily, "You moved the fetus in her womb!" You are so bold that even the imperial descendants dare to do it.

In the face of Mo Ziyao's anger, she suddenly smiled: "When she made pure sandalwood, she found that she had been pregnant for two months. It's just too late to know. A person who is proficient in spices naturally knows what stupid things she has done in the past two months. At this moment, she not only dared not tell the empress dowager and the emperor about the pregnancy, but also dared not find a doctor, for fear that there would be something wrong with the child. So she had to hide it.

"How did you know that she was pregnant with an imperial family?" Mo Ziyao calmed down and asked coldly.

She smiled faintly, "The concubine said before that the concubine had looked at the growing emperor in the belly of the noble concubine. The emperor and the empress dowager were anxious, so they used all means to make the emperor and the concubine happy at night. Love is to have God as soon as possible. When she said this, she was very calm, as if it was nothing at all.

"The concubine often went to the salute room to check, and naturally found the abnormality of Concubine Yunxian. Oh, I didn't expect that she really succeeded in the same means. How can a concubine feel at ease? So she quietly changed her records of her house and monthly affairs.

Hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words, Mo Ziyao suddenly felt angry. In order to achieve their goals, they used such a despicable means to retain Ruan Lingzheng and cheer with them. On the surface, it is so well concealed that people can't find a flaw.

If it hadn't been for Hui Guifei, this kind of thing might have happened endlessly. At this moment, Mo Ziyao suddenly hated the women in the harem. Just because they are imperial concubines, how many of them really think about him? It's nothing more than worrying about his status and the family's career.

After anger, she slowly withdrew her mood and looked at Meng Xiuyuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, who was about to speak, but she said first: "On the way, she couldn't help finding a doctor to help diagnose her pulse. Unexpectedly, the person she was looking for would be Lin Li."

Mo Ziyao frowned and suddenly remembered that Dr. Lin committed suicide not long after he was demoted from the palace. Now that I think about it, this may not be done by the Empress Dowager. It is very likely that it was sent by Concubine Yunxian.

Although Lin Li has estranged relatives with her Lin family, she also has a good relationship with her concubines. The concubine learned from him that the imperial descendants in Yunxian's belly were indeed unborn. They should not wait for birth, and they would have a miscarriage in about three months at most. Meng Xiuyuan said this, looked at Mo Ziyao calmly, and said with a smile, "Your concubine, don't tell your concubine. Are you not happy at all when you hear such news?"

straightened up and turned her mind slightly. Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "What Meng Xiuyuan said, I didn't hear anything today."

Hearing what Mo Ziyao said, a slight smile appeared on her face and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard anything. As long as you inadvertently let the princess know this news, she has just lost her child and will definitely start an investigation."

Mo Ziyao looked at her and asked with a smile, "What are you looking for?"

She smiled and said, "Why does the concubine need to make it clear? When he finds out that the fetus in Yunxian's womb is fake, what do you think the emperor will do?

Mo Ziyao looked at the person in front of her with great interest. She continued, "Concubine Yunxian has committed the crime of deceiving the king, and the crime can be punished! And I'm afraid that the noble concubine Hui can't get rid of her. The Empress Dowager killed her child, so the Empress Dowager will definitely doubt her and whether it was the hand of Hui Guifei. The Noble Concubine."

She called Mo Ziyao and said, "At that time, you are the only one in the harem. Is such a bargaining chip enough to change the life of the concubine's father?"

Such an ending is really tempting. You can get rid of Noble Concubine Hui and Concubine Yunxian without spending a single soldier. It seems that Meng Xiuyuan also hated the people of the Liu family this time, which naturally includes Noble Concubine Hui.

Meng Xiuyuan looked at Mo Ziyao and handed over the note in her hand.

Mo Ziyao smiled and finally reached out to take it. Then she seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief. Her originally supported body suddenly collapsed. She supported it with her hand, looked over and whispered, "The concubine thanked the noble concubine first on behalf of her father."

Mo Ziyao was speechless and said again: "My concubine still remembers that when the noble concubine first entered the palace, she was framed several times and saved several times. At that time, the concubine felt that you were not an ordinary person..." She slowly lowered her head and fell silent. Half a day later, Xiang said again, "Oh, it's just that the concubine never thought that you could win the emperor's heart... The women in the harem envy you."

Mo Ziyao was finally stunned. Did she win Ruan Lingzheng's heart? Why don't you even know yourself? She said she was envious, but she was actually jealous, right?

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan took out a kit from her sleeve, she put it in her palm, looked down and said, "I remember that when the concubine first entered the palace, the emperor praised that although she looked childish and naive, she was actually wise and restrained. She is not only delicate, but also skillful, especially the female red. At that time, the concubine said that she would make a kit for him. However, the concubine forgot that he is the emperor and three thousand beauties in the harem. How can the concubine enjoy his favor alone?

"At that time, although the concubine was not as favored as the noble concubine and the noble concubine Hui, she was still arrogant and refused to bow her head in front of him. This kit has been around for nearly two years. Now, I can't see the emperor again. Madam, please give the concubine's kit to the emperor and let him... let him read the good of the concubine's past after her death..." In the end, she couldn't help choking.

Mo Ziyao's eyes fell on the kit in her hand. It's really exquisite craftsmanship.

Meng Xiuyuan raised her head, smiled with difficulty, handed over the kit and said, "Concubine, please..." Her eyes were full of expectations. Looking forward to Mo Ziyao reaching out to pick her up, hoping that Ruan Lingzheng will still miss her after her death.

Mo Ziyao took a look, hesitated, and reached out to take it. I stood in the room for a while and finally turned around. The people behind him did not get up, but whispered, "The Empress Dowager is going to sacrifice our Xing family for the emperor's country. However, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice our concubine. Our Xing family can't die because of this..."

Mo Ziyao took a deep breath. It seemed that Meng Xiuyuan's heart was really as clear as a mirror.
