155 This is my favorite food
The emperor's eyes swept over everyone in the main hall and went around and fell on Chu Yuntang. "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of officials, and I hope Lord Su can find out this matter as soon as possible. As for Mrs. Su and Mrs. Mu, let Mrs. Su go, and Mrs. Mu will be locked up for the time being. After saying that, the heavy body leaned back, revealing a little fatigue,
"This is all for today. You all retreat."
Everyone left the Qianqing Palace first. Mu Xiran motioned Nianhua to clean up the Linglan on the ground, and then he left the Qianqing Palace with the queen. The queen took Mu Xijian's hand sideways. "This is the first time I have seen a woman's wisdom."
"Thank you very much for your praise. Xian just did what she should do, otherwise she would be uneasy.
The queen sighed when she heard the words, "I know that you are blaming yourself because of the premature death of the virtuous concubine. However, this palace also wants to persuade you that people have their own lives. Maybe the virtuous concubine's early entry into the earth is also a kind of relief.
No matter how you check it, the final result is the same. Chu Luo can't escape the traces of what he has done, and naturally he can't escape the detailed investigation of Lord Su. However, Lord Chu had the heart to protect his son. He took the initiative to admit that he had done it and was finally put in prison, ready to wait for the emperor to deal with it.
The matter of the virtuous concubine has come to an end. And Mu Xilan knew that she had just begun to deal with the Chu family.
Unexpectedly, Wan Zhaoyi will be the first person to find her. On this sunny day, Wan Zhaoyi sent Nanya to invite Mu Xi to Jingren Palace. Mu Xian ignored Nianhua's opposition and went.
When she arrived at Jingren Palace, Mu Xiran walked into the main hall calmly, which surprised Wan Zhaoyi, who was half lying at the top. "I didn't expect that the second sister dared to be invited. I really admire her."
"Because I dare to guarantee that Wan Zhaoyi is extremely afraid of Prince Jing'an." Mu Xi'an sat down generously.
When it comes to Prince Jing'an, Wan Zhaoyi still has a lingering heart. She knows that she can't be provoked by that man, so she can't openly deal with Mu Xiran now. In addition, because of the matter of the virtuous concubine, the Chu family has now avoided suspicion everywhere, and how can they take care of her.
"I know that the second sister thinks that I am the inner responder of the Chu family in the queen. In fact, this is not the case. Shu Guifei is really the inner responder of the Chu family. After all, there is a second prince under the Shu noble concubine's knee, and Chu Luo and the second prince have also been dating a lot recently. Now that Lord Chu has an accident, Shu Guifei naturally hates the second sister. After Wan Zhaoyi finished speaking, she covered her lips and looked at Mu Xiruan with a smile.
Mu Xi'an quietly looked at the teacup in his hand, "I don't know what Wan Zhaoyi is trying to say?"
Wan Zhaoyi shook her handkerchief and complained angrly, "The second sister is also pretending to be confused. For what I said, how can the second sister not hear it? Naturally, I want to join hands with you to get rid of Shu Guifei. This is good for you and good for me."
"Zhaoyi's method is really good." Mu Xiran said this leisurely, which immediately brightened Wan Zhaoyi's eyes, but the next words made her face cold in an instant, and she couldn't wait to tear Mu Xiran's beautiful face immediately.
"However, although the method is good, don't you think it's a big joke for me to cooperate with you who once killed me!"
"Mu Xi'an, don't talk nonsense. It was the second lady's idea to poison you. I just did it under the threat of my mother. Even... I haven't been before, but at least we are sisters. Shouldn't we get rid of the enemies in front of us? Wan Zhaoyi's voice was touching, as if it were her own sincerity.
However, Wan Zhaoyi's first words angered Mu Xi's hatred hidden in the bottom of his heart. Contrary to his usual calmness, Mu Xi suddenly stood up, rushed to Wan Zhaoyi, grabbed her collar and said, "Mu Wan, don't forget that Princess Zhaohua was also killed by you to kill her!" I didn't deal with you immediately, just because the time was not yet.
"Once the time comes, I will let you die without anyone collecting your body."
Wan Zhaoyi turned her eyes bluntly and looked at Mu Xi's angry scolding in shock. She never thought that she would hold on to this matter. If the emperor... the queen knew that she had done it, then she... Until this time, Wan Zhaoyi really felt afraid.
But before Wan Zhaoyi could react, Mu Xian shook off her body, "I will let you bury Jun Yi'an and her children together with the children in your belly!"
Wan Zhaoyi was thrown aside by Mu Xilan's strength, but fortunately, she always protected her stomach and nothing happened. In a panic, she hurriedly waved her hand to call Nanyun, the maid of honor, "Nan Yun, let Chu Luo come to the palace today. I want to see him."
Nan Yun bit his lips and hesitated for a moment, looked at his master's pale face, and still said, "Master, Mr. Chu just asked me to tell you that he had no time to take care of his master during this period, and asked him to stay in Jingren Palace peacefully and not cause trouble."
"What?! He...the Chu family..." Wan Zhaoyi was angry and couldn't speak for a moment. Finally, she could only complain about these to the second lady. "My mother is really confused. Why did she suddenly change her words and confess the Chu family? There must be something strange about this.
The more Wan Zhaoyi thinks about it, the more she feels that this matter has something to do with Mu Xiran. However, now that Mrs. Mu is in prison, how can a concubine go to the dungeon at will? She can only wait for Mrs. Mu to be released and ask each other in detail. If Mu Xiran is really in it, then she doesn't have to show mercy. Even if she takes a little risk, she will have to take Mu Xi'an is completely eliminated.
On the tenth day after the death of the virtuous concubine, the emperor finally issued an order. For the sake of Chu Yuntang's dedication for so many years, he removed his position as a minister of household and put him out of prison and returned to Chu's mansion to rest.
The prince's wedding will arrive in 20 days on October 10th.
So in the following days, the people in the palace will be busy with the prince's wedding, except for the Queen's Kunning Palace.
"Xi'an, after the prince's marriage, your marriage has become a matter of my mind." The queen touched the colorful phoenix wedding dress that had been embroidered by several embroiderers, and couldn't help laughing at Mu Xiluan.
Mu Xi'an lowered her head and was a little shy. "Don't make fun of Xi'an. Xi'an won't leave the palace until she is old." Looking at the wedding dress that the queen touched carefully, she did not feel that her wedding dress was embroidered by her mother overnight. Thinking of this, the corners of her eyes were astringent and she quickly turned her head to hide the unnaturalness.
"I can't keep you all the time, otherwise I will become an old girl, and the prince will chase me to the palace every day. I'm old, but I can't let you make trouble. The smile in the queen's eyebrows this month is getting deeper and deeper. After seeing enough of the wedding dress, she gave it to Xichun and ordered,
"Piece away the wedding dress and send it to Yuecheng immediately."
Xichun carefully held the wedding dress and bent his knees and said, "I know."
Seeing the wedding clothes, how could the queen not have thought of Jun Yi'an? Like Mu Xi'an, the queen's heart surged out with sore pain and casually asked, "The emperor said that the matter of Yi'an was thoroughly investigated, and I don't know how the investigation has been going. There has been no news for so long."
"Mother, don't worry about the princess. Xi Ran heard from Cousin Yi that this matter was about to be found out, and he would definitely get the truth in a month. Mu Xilan put the thin blanket on the queen's leg and lowered her eyebrows.
The queen grabbed Mu Xi'an's wrist and said happily, "Did Yi Xiao really say that?"
"Yes, Xiran, who once hurt the princess, will not let go. When it is found out, he will definitely give an explanation to the queen."
"That's good, that's good." The queen nodded with relief and leaned against the brocade with a kind face.
In fact, when Mu Xilan saw Nianhan, she wanted to make the truth public as soon as possible, but on second thought, it was very easy to bring down Wan Zhaoyi, but she could not bring down Chu Mansion alone. Therefore, she endured the hatred of eager revenge and worked step by step. Chu Yuntang's dismissal was the first step. Next, she still had a lot to do.
"I want to see my mother." The prince's gentle voice immediately pulled back Mu Xi's thoughts.
"Xi'an saw the prince."
The prince waved his hand to Mu Xi'an, "You don't have to salute every time you come, otherwise the mother will blame me."
Mu Xirang looked at the prince's eyebrows and saw that he had not seen him for a month. The prince was more calm than before. It seemed that the emperor's intention to let the prince come to government affairs was not in vain.
"Why are you free to come here today? I haven't seen you for almost a month." The queen touched the prince's head lovingly, but there was no blame in her tone. Instead, she was full of heartache, "Xilan, take a look, if An He has lost a lot of weight?"
"If you go back to your mother, the prince is a little thinner." Mu Xian also answered truthfully.
The queen shook her head quickly, "It will be your wedding day soon. Tomorrow I will talk to your father and let you have a good rest. Don't get married. How can your mother explain to Wanchen?"
"Mother, is it your son or Wanchen is your daughter?" The prince looked at the queen's frown with tears and laugh, and quickly reached out to help her calm her and comforted her, "The mother should be happy. Recently, the father is very satisfied with the minister's handling of government affairs. Well, it's not easy for my son to come over. Don't say these things.
"Okay, mother doesn't nag about this." The queen glanced at the sky outside and grabbed the prince and said, "Let's have dinner in my mother's harem tonight and accompany my mother well."
Of course, the prince responded happily, "My son came to accompany my mother."
Hearing this, the queen turned her head and smiled and told Mu Xi'an, "Xi'an, go and ask the imperial dining room to prepare more of the prince's favorite meals. Twice pot meat and lion's head are two must-cooked dishes.
"And the mother's favorite sweet and sour carp." The prince said along.
The queen lowered her eyes and smiled and muttered, "This is my favorite food and Yi'an."
