Mugui

Lin Mao waved his hand, and the jailers stood there, motionless.

Cao's mother and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiao said slowly: "I want to know how my mother died."

Mrs. Cao raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Xiao. The resentment in her eyes was self-evident.

She glanced at the torture instruments, thinking that even if she was killed, it would be better than suffering. It would be better for her to speak out than to be tortured.

So, she said slowly: "At that time, Changsun Ning was born prematurely, so I took advantage of the funeral of Empress Dowager Huixiao and took Suhua to the palace. It happened that there was no master in the palace, so I relied on my medical studies and entered the delivery room. . The people in the delivery room were busy. I went in three times but didn't find a chance to put the blood poison before she gave birth. It wasn't until you gave birth and there were fewer people in the delivery room that I found the opportunity to mix the blood poison into the ginseng soup and feed her She drinks it."

After talking too much, Mrs. Cao was a little out of breath. After taking a breath, she continued: "Not long after Changsun Ning took the blood poison, he began to have bleeding. When he was weak, please ask Suhua to take care of you."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Why was my mother born prematurely?"

Mrs. Cao lowered her head slightly, not letting Lin Xiao see her expression, and said, "She fell down and had a fetal shock."

Lin Xiao looked at Mr. Cao who was pretending to be deaf and mute, and asked, "Isn't the person who pushed her have something to do with you mother and daughter?"

Mrs. Cao immediately said: "We were just eighth-rank officials at that time, how could we control things in Prince Ding's palace? Changsun Ning was born prematurely, and it has nothing to do with our mother and daughter!"

Lin Xiao turned to look at Lin Mao and said back: "Yes, only you and your daughter can't do this. I'm afraid there is an insider in Prince Ding's palace, right?"

Mrs. Cao fell silent for a moment.

Lin Xiao said slowly: "Let me guess, is it the second bedroom?"

Mrs. Cao raised her head and looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.Why hadn't she noticed before that this little kid was so powerful?
Lin Mao also thought of the key at this moment. The people who least wanted Ning'er to give birth to the child smoothly were besides Cao's mother and daughter, and naturally there was a second wife.

However, at that time, the second brother Lin Fan and the Meng family had just gotten married. Is it Lin Fan or the Meng family?
Lin Mao said angrily: "What are you asking for? I'll be punished!"

As soon as Cao's mother and daughter heard about the execution, they immediately said everything.

Cao said: "It's Meng! It's Meng! It was she who bribed Cui'er, a maid whom Chang Sun Ning had punished. Cui'er smeared oil on the stone steps, which made Chang Sun Ning fall down and give birth prematurely!"

Cui'er, the maid and her son, knew that a few years ago she stole a green feather hairpin from Lin Qiuchen and sold it to Lin Qiuchen. She died of illness not long after.

Lin Xiao said coldly: "No wonder the second room helped the princess to deal with the princess this morning, you have already formed an alliance!"

Ms. Cao took a few deep breaths and then said weakly: "Now that you know everything, what do you want to do? Kill us?"

Mrs. Cao glanced at her daughter who was about to faint and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Suhua. I killed someone. I just have to pay for my life to Changsun Ning!"

Lin Xiao said coldly: "You have lived 22 years longer than my mother. Are you thinking of paying for your life?"

Mrs. Cao stared and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Lin Xiao sneered and said, "Your sins can be ignored."

Cao, who was about to fall into coma, suddenly woke up. What?
She looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief and said loudly: "I am the clan's wife!"

Ling Chi had to be stripped and tortured, and his flesh had to be cut with a total of three thousand knives!

Lin Xiao looked with some pleasure at the fear in the mother and daughter's eyes and their slightly trembling bodies, with a face as heavy as water.

Lin Mao stood up and greeted his son.

"Let's go."

Lin Xiao took one last look at the two of them, then turned around and left Jingzhao Mansion with his father.

……

On the second day, before dawn, we went to the palace of Ding.

Daishan knocked on the door hurriedly and said anxiously: "Concubine, the Queen Mother is calling urgently!" Yang Mu and Lin Xiao woke up, changed their clothes, and went out side by side.

When his daughter-in-law entered the palace, Lin Xiao was worried and naturally wanted to follow her.

At the door of the house, I met Lin Mao, who was also ready to go.

Lin Mao was riding on his horse and saw the two people coming out and said, "I'll go with you."

As Yang Mu mounted his horse, he said, "It should be a matter of the palace. Yesterday, Mr. Cao attacked me. He should have suppressed me and not allowed me to go to the palace to cause trouble."

Lin Mao gave Lin Xiao a reassuring look and said: "Since Queen Mother Sheng is anxious, let's attack today. Things outside the palace have a bright future."

Lin Xiao nodded and flew onto his horse. In the dark night, three people and three horses galloped towards the palace.

After dismounting at the palace gate, the guard guarding the gate searched the three of them and removed their weapons.

After entering the palace gate, Lin Xiao lowered his voice and said: "The Lin family has not experienced a search before entering the palace for many years."

Yang Mu sneered and said: "What difference does it make between second- and third-level masters whether they have weapons or not?"

This is the truth. If you really reach the realm of the second and third grades, you can kill people by picking leaves and flying flowers.

When the three of them arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, Lin Xiao's face was solemn and he whispered to Yang Mu: "The person drinking tea in the pavilion is Duan Jiulang."

Yang Mu has always wanted to challenge this first-class master in the capital, but unfortunately he has never had time, and naturally he has never met him.

Now that I see the other person wearing only a fourth-grade court dress, sitting leisurely in the pavilion drinking tea, I can't help but look at him with curiosity.

Duan Jiulang also turned his head and bowed his hands slightly towards the three of them.

Lin Xiao passed the message into the secret and said to Yang Mu: "The Queen Mothers of the two palaces actually called Duan Jiulang. They are afraid that in our desperation, we will forget the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and take action against them."

Yang Mu turned to look at the brightly lit Qinzheng Palace, and also transmitted the message into the secret, asking: "If we attack in the palace, will Duan Jiulang have time to rescue?"

Lin Xiao said: "It's too late. However, he can prevent us from leaving safely."

While talking, the three of them were led into Qinzheng Hall by the eunuch.

There are two empresses sitting on the two phoenix chairs in the main hall. Empress Dowager Tao's eyes are wandering, as if she has just been woken up from the bed. Even her bun is relatively simple; while Empress Dowager Sheng looks like she has not slept all night, and her hair is exquisite. , with excitement still in his eyes.

Just by looking at the two of them, one could tell that Empress Dowager Sheng was in charge of today's event.

In addition to the two queen mothers, there were actually people from the clan's mansion in the hall.

After the three people had finished the ceremony, Queen Mother Sheng looked at Yang Mu with sharp eyes and asked, "Princess Protector, do you know that the Suzaku Army poisoned Concubine Xue, Concubine Shu, and Your Highness last night?"

Lin Xiao and Lin Mao's expressions changed. Poison?

Yang Mu glanced at the confident Empress Dowager Sheng, and then at the serious-looking official of the Zongren Mansion, and said calmly: "This happened in the palace, so of course I know about it."

Empress Dowager Sheng was about to scold Yang Mu for "dereliction of duty" when her words got stuck in her throat, and she frowned at Yang Mu.

Yang Mu said: "If the Empress Dowager is asking about the news that Lord Cao Lu sent to Concubine Xue and asked her to poison Concubine Shu, her son and herself to frame me, then I do know."

Queen Mother Sheng choked.

The officials of the Zongren Mansion looked at each other.

Empress Dowager Tao looked at Yang Mu and then at Empress Dowager Sheng, almost unable to hold back her laughter.

There was no woman in the harem who didn't want the Suzaku Army. She was a little slow in taking action, so she asked Queen Mother Sheng to attack first.

I didn’t expect that the stone being lifted would hit my feet so quickly!
