The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 77

That was the second prince who was born of Concubine Liu Gui was suddenly killed by an ordinary cold.

Emperor Bai Junli had only three heirs, and only two of them were princes.

But now, after going to one of them, only the eldest prince is left alone.

For a while, the ministers in the imperial court were very cautious, lest the emperor vent his anger of losing his son on innocent ministers like them!
Naturally, they don't know the identity of the second prince, and they are still worried.

Actually, Bai Junli wasn't sad at all, after all, he was just a bastard.

Of course, the second prince's death had nothing to do with him.

Although he didn't like this bastard, he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

It's just that the death of the second prince made him see clearly some things that he didn't see clearly before.

For example, the Empress Dowager, his mother, did not eat or drink after the death of the second prince. She was very sad and kept thinking that one of them was gone.

Only then did Bai Junli understand that Liu Guifei and his sixth younger brother Bai Junyi had secretly communicated with Quqian to give birth to the wild species, and his mother had known about it for a long time, and had been helping to hide it all the time.

She is really his good mother!

Bai Junli's eyes were extremely gloomy.

At this time, Lin Gui, the chief eunuch, reported outside that Concubine Liu Gui had gone to assassinate the empress.

When Bai Junli heard the news, all anger disappeared immediately, replaced by worry about Empress Liu Tianxin.

Bai Junli hurried out, heading towards Kunning Palace.

There must be time!

When Bai Junli arrived, he happened to see the imperial guards subdue Concubine Liu Gui, and his queen was not injured at all!
However, Bai Junli ran over to check carefully, and made sure that Liu Tianxin was not hurt, so he was relieved.

Turning to look at Concubine Liu Gui, Bai Junli said coldly without any emotion in his eyes.

"Concubine Liu Gui committed the crime of assassinating the empress. The crime is unforgivable. I will be deprived of my title. I will be thrown into the cold palace from now on, and I will never step out of the cold palace!"

Concubine Liu Gui shouted frantically.

"Your Majesty, it was the Queen who killed our child, let me go, I want revenge!"

Bai Jun snorted coldly, looked at Concubine Liu Gui, and said word by word.

"I know better than you what kind of person my queen is. She is just a bastard. My queen doesn't even bother to do such a thing to get her hands dirty. Also, you have to figure it out, Second Prince It's your child, but it's not mine.

In other words, it might be a good thing for the child to leave early, at least you don't have to see the fate of you parents with your own eyes. "

Concubine Liu Gui heard the words and knew that the matter had been exposed, she was so startled that she calmed down in a cold sweat, and completely slumped on the ground.

It's over, the emperor knows everything.

She is completely doomed, even if the queen mother and aunt come, they can't save her!
After finishing speaking, Bai Junli glanced at Lin Gui.

"Take it off!"

Lin Gui bent down and said yes.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Gui called the guards to put Concubine Liu Gui into limbo.

By the time the Queen Mother learned of the news, the matter had already been settled.

The Empress Dowager hated Liu Tianxin completely.

Prince Qin's Mansion, Prince Qin Bai Junyi had just received the news that the second prince had died of illness, and before he recovered from the blow, he heard the news that Concubine Liu Gui failed to assassinate the queen, but instead was sent to the cold palace.

Immediately, he clenched his fists and smashed all the vases in the room, his expression was gloomy and terrifying.

Compared with the usual gentle and jade-like appearance, he is a different person.

In this respect, she is quite similar to Luo Yourou.

It really is a match made in heaven!

After a long time, Bai Junyi called the subordinates outside, and said with a gloomy face.

"Send someone to send a letter to the mother, saying that the time has come, so that she can find a chance to do something."

——Bai Junli, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind.

That subordinate nodded.

"Yes, my lord!"

After speaking, the man went out.

Ever since Concubine Liu Gui was thrown into the cold palace, in the days that followed, Liu Tianxin carefully discovered that when she took her two children to pay her respects every day, the Empress Dowager looked at Yao'er and Le'er with gloomy eyes, without a trace of emotion in her eyes , as if some conspiracy was brewing.

Liu Tianxin secretly became vigilant.

For the Queen Mother, she was really worried.

Sure enough, in the following days, Liu Tianxin often found dirty things in Yao'er, Le'er and Chishi.

Poisons, or chronic poisons, or drugs that affect children's development, are really the same, and the methods are endless.

Even, the clothes worn by the two children were dirty, and after washing them in the laundry room, there was another problem.

It's so hard to guard against, and it also makes Liutian feel tired to deal with it!
When Bai Junli heard the news, he was furious, as if a storm surged in his eyes, and the anger spread all over his body.

Afterwards, he didn't care what the queen mother thought, and directly used iron and blood methods to thoroughly clean up and down the palace, including most of the queen mother's confidantes, none of them escaped, and all went underground to meet Yan Luo king.

After such a move, the endless dirty and disgusting methods before were stopped.

The palace calmed down for a moment, and all the maids and eunuchs were terrified when they heard the news, for fear that they would be hurt by themselves.

After going on like this, there is nothing the Queen Mother can do if she gnashes her teeth.

The palace calmed down, but the court began to be uneasy again.

On this day, a minister in the imperial court suddenly reported that Lan Yong, the son of Princess Anping, and Mo Jingyang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenguo, were involved in the illegal sale of salt.

Knowing the news, Bai Junli was furious on the surface and demanded a strict investigation. If it was true, he would be severely punished, and he might be executed at a later date.

I'm happy in private.

He knew in his heart that Lan Yong and Mo Jingyang had always been working for Bai Junyi.

Including the eighth younger brother Jin Wang, who is also colluding with Qin Wang Bai Junyi, cooperating with each other and guarding against each other.

In fact, he had heard some news from Mo Yanchen about the private sale of Yanyin this time.

All four of them are involved in it.

Now that Lan Yong and Mo Jingyang have been reported, as long as it is verified, it is estimated that King Jin and King Qin will also be exposed from the mouths of Lan Yong and Mo Jingyang.

At that time, it will kill two birds with one stone.

He can also catch all these people with different thoughts.

To save them from jumping up and down from time to time, staring at his throne, and causing trouble for the emperor.

As soon as the incident of smuggling salt came out, even though Lan Yong and Mo Jingyang hadn't been arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it was equivalent to losing their freedom.

When going out for a drive, people from the criminal department followed secretly, trying to find out the facts and find evidence.

On this day, Li Xiang'e had just finished lunch with Ling'er Xiao Baozi when she heard a shocking news from Mo Yanchen.

Mo Jingyang is dead!
Li Xiang'e was shocked when she heard the news.

That Mo Jingyang who often caused trouble for her husband actually died, did he die so easily? !

Li Xiang'e opened her mouth wide, in disbelief.

"No way, how could it be possible? Didn't Mo Jingyang have just been reported that he was smuggling salt and is under investigation? Why did he die? How did he die?!"

Li Xiang'e was full of curiosity.

The corners of Mo Yanchen's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled coldly.

"He deserved it. Hearing that King Qin and King Jin were looking for him to drink, he hurried there. On the way back, the horse lost control and fell off the horse and died alive. When his servant took him to the hospital , people have no breath."

Li Xiang'e was speechless when she heard this.

Immediately, she asked again with some doubts.

"As far as I know, Mo Jingyang seems to know martial arts! He fell to his death so easily?!"

Mo Yanchen lowered his eyes and said lightly.

"I heard that he was very drunk. When the horse went crazy, he was almost unconscious. When he fell off the horse, he couldn't react in time. When he fell off, his temple hit the corner of the table again, hitting the vital point directly. , die!"

Li Xiang'e braced her chin and said with emotion.

"It's still a coincidence!"

Mo Yanchen said something meaningful.

"Yeah, what a coincidence!"

Li Xiang'e wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Le'er's hasty voice.

"Ma'am, Lord Hou, Aunt Liu cannot accept the accidental death of Young Master Jingyang. She is making a fuss in Mrs. Huo's main room at this moment. Old Lord Hou is already there. Do you want to go and see?"

Li Xiang'e and Mo Yanchen looked at each other, then walked towards Old Madam Mo's room with Ling'er in their arms.

After Mo Jingyang died, Aunt Liu went to make trouble with Mrs. Mo?
Obviously something is going on here!

Li Xiang'e and Mo Yanchen didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Arriving at Mrs. Mo's room, Li Xiang'e and Mo Yanchen had just stepped in when they heard Aunt Liu shouting heartbreakingly at Mrs. Mo.

"Aunt, Mo Jingyang is your own grandson, you watched him grow up, did you just watch him being killed by your cousin?
Bai Junyi's ungrateful thing, my son has been helping him for so many years, and now there is a private sale of salt, not only does he not want to help his cousin, but kills him to silence him, so that he can clear himself of the suspicion , he is simply a wolf-hearted dog, not a thing! "

Old Madam Mo interrupted Aunt Liu's words in a deep voice.

"As I said before, that kid Bai Junyi simply invited that kid Jingyang out for a drink. Jingyang's death has nothing to do with him. You can't blame Junyi for Mo Jingyang's death. Jingyang is Jun Yi's cousin, Jun Yi is not such a person!"

Aunt Liu looked at Old Madam Mo mockingly.

"Auntie, you are probably the only one who thinks that bastard Bai Junyi is a good one now! Hahaha, it's so funny. Bai Junyi is vicious just like his mother, I know it perfectly.

Back then, when the queen mother was still a princess, didn't she discuss with you for no reason why she wanted to kill Mo Yanchen's mother, sister Lianniang? In the end, she found a reason to frame sister Lianniang by bringing Mo Yanchen to kill her. Chen eloped with someone, which made my cousin heartbroken in the end but didn't doubt it? ! "

Hearing this, Old Hou Ye exclaimed, holding Aunt Liu's hand and questioning.

"Cousin, what are you talking about, Lianniang didn't elope with someone back then, but was murdered by someone?! Tell me quickly, tell me clearly!"

Mo Yanchen had been missing for a few years at that time, and when he came back he was taciturn, so the old Hou Ye didn't hear any news about Lianniang from him, and thought that Lianniang had really eloped with someone, and selfishly kept Mo Yanchen Chen's son was also left behind.

Even, all these years, he has always thought so.

Seeing old lady Mo's suddenly terrified expression, Aunt Liu sneered and continued.

"Back then, I overheard the conversation between the queen mother's cousin and her aunt, and I just heard them saying that Lianniang had discovered some clues, she was investigating what happened back then, and she must be stopped. Later, the queen mother's cousin So he made up his mind and decided to kill Sister Lianniang once and for all. In that case, the matter will never see the light of day again.

I was very puzzled when I heard this, so I continued to listen, but I also heard that my aunt was advising the Queen Mother's cousin, saying that she could slander Sister Lianniang's reputation and elope with someone.In that case, Sister Lianniang died in the end, and no one would find out what was wrong, killing two birds with one stone.I'm afraid even now, Mo Yanchen thinks that I sent the people who sent to kill him and his mother back then, right? ! "

Mo Yanchen's face was dark, and he nodded when he heard Aunt Liu's words.

Yes.

He always believed that most of the people who chased and killed him and his mother were sent by Aunt Liu.

Now I know, but it was not the case!

Speaking of this, Aunt Liu looked at the terrified old lady Mo and said word by word.

"Didn't expect that, Auntie, I also knew what you discussed back then. It's just that I was jealous of Sister Lianniang at the time, thinking that she took away the favor of Cousin Hou. So, from then on, I also did something It’s as if nothing happened, and I pretended to believe that Sister Lianniang eloped, and she was not killed by someone sent by the queen mother’s cousin, and she gloated about it, now that I think about it, it might be retribution!”

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, her whole body seemed to have no strength, and she fell limp and sat on the ground, just sitting there in a daze, without saying anything.

However, it is enough.

After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Old Hou Ye's eyes were red and his canthus were tearing apart. He stared at Old Madam Mo intently.

"Mother, since Lianniang didn't elope with anyone, come and tell me that you and my sister have to kill her because of this? Lianniang knows what kind of secret my sister is. She wants to do this murderously, even My son Mo Yanchen almost didn't come back either?!

Tell me, do you still think of me as your son, Lianniang is my favorite woman, did you ever think about how your son and I felt when you were about to kill her! "

Old Madam Mo opened her mouth, but did not speak.

What can she say, why did she kill Lianniang?
Lianniang is already dead, she doesn't regret doing that.

Her daughter, the current queen mother, is much more important than Lianniang.

The fact had happened, and she couldn't let it get any more out of control.

"I have nothing to say!"

Mrs. Mo took a look at Old Hou Ye, turned her head and closed her eyes to rest her mind, and ignored him.

Old Hou Ye nodded heavily with red eyes.

"Okay, for the sake of my sister, you don't even care about my son, so you can pretend that you don't have my son in the future. As for my sister, since she doesn't regard me as a brother, she can send someone to kill me without blinking an eye." My own sister-in-law, then I will treat it as if I don't have this sister from now on.

Also, Lianniang was silenced because of what she knew, I will also find out, otherwise I will never stop! "

Old Madam Mo opened her eyes, stared at Old Hou Ye firmly, and roared in a low voice.

"That's your sister, you can't do that!"

Old Hou Ye sneered.

"Sister? I really regret it. When she ordered to kill my own wife and leave my son in exile for several years, I should have regarded her as my sister. Mother, I am very disappointed in you, really, Very very disappointed!"

After finishing speaking, Old Hou Ye turned his head to look at Aunt Liu who was sitting on the ground, and said in a cold voice.

"Cousin, although you didn't intervene in what happened back then, but you didn't report it, you made Lianniang suffer for so many years, and you have been so mean to Yanchen all these years, I can no longer treat you like I used to.

Yu'er is alone in Zhuangzi, and you were worried about her being alone before, so you can go and accompany her. As for food and clothing, our Zhenguohou's mansion will not miss you.But from now on, you and Yu'er can live peacefully in Zhuangzi! "

Aunt Liu nodded silently upon hearing this.

"Cousin, thank you. I am willing to accompany Yu'er!"

She didn't want to come back to the sad place of Zhen Guohou's Mansion.

Old lady Mo, this aunt whom she respected very much in the past, now, she doesn't want to take another look at her;
Cousin Hou, the man she had been obsessed with and loved all her life, now, she also let go of her obsession.

As long as her daughter Yu'er is fine, she will ask for nothing now.

After fighting for so many years and persisting for so long, everything has become empty.

That's it!

Let her leave to end it all!

Back in Yixiang Courtyard, both Li Xiang'e and Mo Yanchen felt a little heavy.

What happened just now had a great impact on them.
