The queen mother is charming

Chapter 56 It's time to search the Straits Palace
There are many people standing in this courtyard, Zhong Ming, Zhong Yingying, Shen Muchi, Jiang Bo, and countless servants...

A gust of wind whipped leaves across the yard, still no one recovered from the shock.

Especially Jiang Bo, he was prone to blush, but now his ears are red all the way to his neck...

Mu Qingchao really wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in at this moment. She had thought of everything, but why didn't she think of setting these things on fire?

Indeed, her taste in reading scripts had been cultivated. After she came back, the more she read those scripts, the less interested she was. However, the thinking of the ancients was too limited, and it was impossible to write the things she liked to read.

I can't write it, but I can draw it...

The brains of the ancients were very limited in writing novels, but they were unexpected in painting, and there were all kinds of styles.

After Mu Qingchao had money, he felt that his spiritual life was particularly lacking, so he asked Chun Yahua to hire a master of painting outside the palace with a lot of money.

I managed to get a few picture books and flipped through them at night when no one was around.

I thought that this kind of secret would be kept for a lifetime, and I would go underground with her until she died.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, it was revealed in front of such a person.

"Cough...that..."

Mu Qingchao coughed dryly twice and said bravely: "Ai... Ai's family has been empty and lonely since the death of the late emperor. It's okay to watch these things to pass the time, right?"

Another gust of wind blew by, and Shen Muchi was the first to react to the chill caused by the cold wind.

"No..." he was the first to answer.

"It's okay." While speaking, she silently moved her eyes away: "That... I can understand..."

One sentence made Mu Qingchao even more embarrassed.

Anyway, she once expressed her love to Shen Muchi, but when he turned around, he found these things. I don't know how hungry he thought of her in his heart.

Although she no longer has any affection for Shen Muchi, she still has face!

Zhong Yingying laughed sarcastically: "No wonder the late emperor was coaxed into confusion earlier, so it turned out that these shady methods were used.

Hehe, what a joke! "

Zhong Yingying's words aroused Mu Qingchao's competitive spirit, and she didn't care whether she would die or not, so she immediately sneered: "Ms. Zhong Mei has time to think about these things, so she might as well care about herself.

Just now you kept saying that the haunting had something to do with Aijia, now that the palace has been searched, have you found any evidence? "

In a word, Zhong Yingying panicked.

The impact of this album was so great that she almost forgot the real purpose of her visit today.

Now this last place has been searched, but there is still nothing related to the female ghost.

Her heart sank, she looked at Shen Muchi nervously, but she saw that Shen Muchi's face was dark.

"Miss Zhong, I remember that you swore to me at that time, saying that you were sure that this matter must have something to do with Chaoyun Palace, and you even used your own life to guarantee it.

I believed you, now, what do you have to explain to me? "

When Zhong Yingying heard this, her face turned pale, and she knelt down with a "plop".

"The concubine deserves to die, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

As soon as she reached a critical moment, tears came as soon as she said it. The appearance of Lihua with rain and her pale face, indeed, I felt pity for her.

But Shen Muchi didn't have the slightest thought of pity.

"Damn you!" he said.

When Zhong Ming heard this, he knelt down and pleaded with Shen Muchi.

"Your Majesty, this matter was brought up by the minister. Zhong Meiren just believed the one-sided words of the minister. All the crimes should be borne by the minister alone, and have nothing to do with Zhong Meiren.

If your majesty wants to punish, punish the minister. "

Zhong Ming looks like a good father at the moment, he looks terrified on the outside, but in fact he has already made plans in his heart.

Shen Muchi and Zhong Yingying are just a mere beauty. If Shen Muchi punishes her, it will not be too much. But Zhong Ming is different. He is a former important official with a high position and authority. Shen Muchi wants to touch him, but he has to be cautious. Pull one hair and move the whole body.

What can Shen Muchi punish him for?
After thinking about it, it was nothing more than a fine of three months' salary, three months of confinement to Zhong Yingying, shutting the door to reflect on her mistakes, and copying Buddhist scriptures three hundred times.

After hearing this punishment, Zhong Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it was just grounding. My sister was also grounded for a year, but three months passed in the blink of an eye. Buddhist scriptures can be copied by servants.

For today's matter, if it were someone else who would just pull out his stick and pull out his tongue, he would have to shed half a layer of skin if he didn't die. Compared to this, she would be considered lucky.

Mu Qingchao watched this scene with cold eyes, and couldn't help feeling cold in his heart.

What would happen if she was caught today?

Thinking about it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to leave a whole body, at least he would be killed with a stick on the spot, or his family would be implicated if he moved.

But what about Zhong Yingying?It's just raised high and lowered gently.

This made her see the difference between her and the Zhong family more clearly, and also understood that to fight against the entire Zhong family is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

If you smash yourself to pieces, others may add a gap at most.

But even so, so what?

Don't fight, don't grab it?
No, even if her body was smashed to pieces, she would try her best to bump into it.

So she just added a sentence from the side: "But the matter can't end like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yingying turned around viciously, and looked at Mu Qingchao with angry eyes: "Your Majesty has already punished me, what else do you want?"

Look at these words, although you may die, but His Majesty has punished me for three months, what are you not satisfied with?
You may lose your life, but what I lost was three full months of freedom!

Mu Qingchao took a few steps forward, and looked down at Zhong Ming who was kneeling on the ground: "Just now, what did Master Zhong himself say, did he forget?

After searching the Chaoyun Palace, then search the Sicui Palace. Now that the Chaoyun Palace is also searched, shouldn't the Sicui Palace also be searched? "

After hearing this, Zhong Yingying's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that her father just said it casually for the purpose of searching the palace, how could she know how Mu Qingchao could remember it till now?

"Mu Qingchao, let's stop if it suits you? What good does it do for you to be so aggressive?"

Zhong Yingying really couldn't take it anymore, she suffered such a big loss just now, but Mu Qingchao was still aggressive, no matter how good a person could be, she couldn't pretend anymore.

She tore off the gentle and kind skin on her face, and finally revealed sharp minions. In a moment of anxiety, she even forgot the honorific title, and called Mu Qingchao by his first name.

Mu Qingchao took a step back, patted his chest to imitate Zhong Yingying's usual appearance: "Oh, why is Zhong Meiren staring at Aijia like this?
Aijia is so scared. "

"you……"

Zhong Yingying looked at her like this, and a burst of anger rushed to her forehead.

But Shen Muchi, who couldn't see him, looked at Mu Qingchao in such a state, quietly lowered his head, silently suppressing the smile on his lips.
