The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 381
Just when Mu Yunge was involved in the shadow of death, the royal family on Xizhao's side was full of splendor, and the good scenes one after another dazzled the eyes of the people of Xizhao.

The current crown prince of Western Zhao is Mu Ruyan's elder brother, Mu Qingrui. He once came to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to propose to marry Mu Yunge, but unfortunately he was rejected by Emperor Wu in the end, and he also single-handedly facilitated the marriage between Mu Yunge and Wei Shi.In order to keep Mu Yunge, Emperor Wu married Zhao Yan to Mu Qingrui. Unfortunately, the Zhao family took the wrong side in the struggle for the heir apparent.

All these causes and effects were clear to Mu Yunge and others at the time, and the envoys from Xizhao also heard about it.It was nothing at all, Zhao Yan had been dead for a long time, this matter has long been annihilated by history, and is not remembered by people.

The crown prince is proud of his spring breeze, who will remember that there was once a hateful and pitiful woman who had no power to fight back under his iron hooves?

However, Qiao Fengqi remembered, not only remembered, he also used it!

Qiao Fengqi has been planning this matter since Dongyue.He first used spies to plant a mandala that could induce hallucinations in the hidden flowers outside Mu Qingrui's bedroom in the East Palace.Taking advantage of the unique toxicity of Datura, coupled with the phantom drug that can also cause hallucinations, for many days in a row, when Mu Qingrui slept at night, he was always frightened by Zhao Yan, who was covered in blood and had horrible and resentful eyes in his dreams. Waking up, the screams spread far away, almost reaching the point where no one in the East Palace knew, no one knew.

There were so many people talking, and rumors of ghosts in the East Palace spread like wildfire, making people panic. Even Mu Qingrui, an unbeliever, encountered Zhao Yan's soul twice when he was awake at night.

Once, Zhao Yan was standing in the bamboo grove outside his sleeping hall, wearing a bright red wedding gown, first she looked at him with a smile, but when she smiled, that charming face changed and became extremely ferocious. It was full of blood, and the lips were bright red, as if eating people.Her hair grew suddenly, and the messy black hair was scattered around her, like black swirls...

Another time, in front of Mu Qingrui's bed, she was standing in the corner of the room, still wearing a red wedding dress, looking at him with empty eyes.

Frightened twice, Mu Qingrui pulled out his saber in desperation and attacked Zhao Yan desperately.However, that person seemed to be nothing, no matter how he slashed, he would not get hurt or would not move at all.

Even if Mu Qingrui doesn't believe in ghosts and gods anymore, he has to be afraid of such a situation.

At night, Mu Qingrui couldn't sleep, and during the day he was in a trance. After a while, even Empress Qi saw that he was wrong.In the East Palace, there was a servant who wanted to share Mu Qingrui's worries, and introduced a wizard who was good at exorcising ghosts to Mu Qingrui.Mu Qingrui chatted with him a few words, and the wizard showed his tricks again, making Zhao Yan's "ghost" show its original shape on the spot, and hurriedly fled the bedroom.This made Mu Qingrui's heart full of admiration, and he immediately left the wizard to serve him with delicious food and drinks. When the auspicious day came, he would open the altar to drive away ghosts.

After the wizard arrived, Mu Qingrui felt at ease for a few days. He didn't dream of Zhao Yan for several nights, and he didn't see that shadow during the day.

Finally, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the mysterious wizard said that today's yang hour, when yin qi is weakest, is suitable for opening the altar.Mu Qingrui was overjoyed. That night, all the people in the East Palace were busy preparing to open the altar.

The sorcerer really had some skills, and soon, he made the entire main hall of the East Palace misty and mysterious. He kept shaking in the main hall, muttering words, and after a while, the smoke in the main hall of the East Palace gradually condensed into a cloud. a humanoid.The smoke cleared, and the face became clear, it was Zhao Yan!

At that time, there were many guards in the palace who went to welcome the relatives and accompanied Mu Qingrui on his mission to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When they saw this face, many of them were scared out of their wits and almost fainted.

However, this is not over yet. After exorcising ghosts, the ghosts are gone, but before Zhao Yan's ghost disperses, she utters extremely shocking words.

According to Zhao Yan's ghost, Mu Qingrui colluded with Zhu Shi, the side concubine of Chen Wang in Western Zhao, to rape Zhao Yan in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and then refused to marry her.After that, he fell in love with Mu Yunge again, and poured all his anger on himself for not marrying Mu Yunge. Taking advantage of the decline of the Zhao family, Mu Qingrui even murdered him!
It goes without saying whether Zhao Yan turned black and white, but it was the first time for everyone in Xizhao to hear such words. In addition, Mu Qingrui, in fear and anger, completely forgot to refute, and only kept begging her to let him go, This is even more true!

Not long after the exorcism of ghosts in the East Palace ended, Zhao Yan's words spread throughout the Western Zhao Imperial Capital.

Zhao Huang also heard these words, and was so angry that he slapped the table on the spot; Empress Qi also almost fainted, and she couldn't even sit still.

You know, in the minds of Xizhao people, women have a high status, and rape of women is a serious crime that cannot be punished.What's more, Mu Qingrui is the crown prince of one country, but in another country, he did such a wicked thing that lacks virtue, completely disgraced the people of Xizhao, even if Emperor Zhao suppressed it with all his strength, the people of Xizhao How can not understand.

In addition, in Xizhao, there are several emperors and princesses vying for favor. This matter is brought up again and again, and it is impossible to suppress it.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, it was already so noisy that people turned their backs on their backs.

Although Mu Qingrui has the queen's backing, but in terms of strength, he has only been the crown prince of the Eastern Palace for a short time, and his foundation in the court is not solid.

Mu Qingrui, who jumped over the wall in a hurry, panicked. If Queen Qi hadn't suppressed him, he might have done something even more out of proportion.Even so, he stayed behind closed doors all day, but troubles kept coming.For a while, the officials under him were involved in romantic scandals, and for a while, a capable general was involved in a life lawsuit. In less than half a month, he actually lost most of his wings!
The princes and princesses in Xizhao's country saw that the crown prince was in constant trouble, so of course they secretly laughed. Unfortunately, they didn't laugh for long, and soon they couldn't move their hands.

On New Year's Eve, Emperor Xizhao was celebrating the New Year with the people at the highest Guangyuan Hall in the imperial city, but was assassinated by an assassin hiding in the crowd. What about calm?
Emperor Zhao ordered a thorough investigation, and at the end of this thorough investigation, two more princes were involved.

Emperor Zhao was furious, and in a fit of anger, he demoted the two princes to common people and sent them into exile.When I was young, there were only Mu Qingrui, Mu Ruyan, King Ning Mu Qingli, and Princess Yonghui Mu Ruyun in the royal family of Xizhao!
With fewer people, it would be easier to clean up. Qiao Fengqi planned to work harder and pull Mu Qingrui off his horse while it was still hot.He said in the letter that although King Ning Mu Qingli and Princess Yonghui Mu Ruyun are smart, they don't have trump cards in their hands. They have more than enough heart but not enough strength, so they are the most suitable shields.

In the end, he told Mu Yunge: "Western Zhao's bureau has been set up, the net has been opened, and the birds have entered the net. The original plan has changed slightly. Please wait and see the changes in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When the time is right, it will naturally come." Someone came to welcome the Lord back to the country."

Although these words are mysterious, in the eyes of Mu Yunge and Wei Shi, there is really nothing Qiao Fengqi can't do.

It seems that he has a more perfect plan during his stay in Xizhao, they, wait and see!
Qiao Fengqi didn't keep the two of them waiting too anxiously. By the end of the first month, the so-called plan had already begun to be closed.

Just like when the battle for the heirloom of the Eastern Wei Dynasty kicked off, Mu Qingrui had a lot of bad luck. Under Qiao Fengqi's instigation, Mu Ruyan continued to intensify his efforts to suppress Mu Qingrui.

The folk customs of Xizhao are simple and simple. When the people are not in production, they like to gather together to drink and eat meat and gamble for a small amount of money in their spare time. There is no exception from the princes and nobles to the ordinary people.Mu Qingrui is an expert in this way. He was born with a talent for gambling, and he is proficient in playing Liubo, dice, and horse cranes.Gambling brings many benefits to people. For Mu Qingrui, apart from having fun, the most important thing is that he has accumulated a lot of money through gambling.

The head of the East Palace has opened many casinos in the Western Zhaohuangdu, and among the casinos, the number is astonishingly huge.Some people lose tens of thousands of wealth overnight, while others get rich overnight and live a life of extravagance.

Mu Qingrui would sometimes come to the casino to play a few rounds.

At the end of the first lunar month, the storm almost submerged Mu Qingrui, and the depressed Mu Qingrui, accompanied by his concubine, went for a walk in the casino he opened.Unexpectedly, on this day, an arrogant gambler came to the gambling house. When Mu Qingrui arrived at the gambling house, the money won by this thin young man had piled up like a mountain, and he piled up the space behind him so that there was no space left. The people stood against the wall, coaxing, and while he was not paying attention, they quietly put the banknotes scattered at their feet into their arms.

There was chaos in the casino, and the boss couldn't control the situation, so he had to ask for help like the boss.

There is nothing the master can do. If this continues, this person will win the entire gambling house. Just in time, Mu Qingrui came, and immediately begged Mu Qingrui to come forward to clean up this lawless guy and frustrate his spirit.

Mu Qingrui is quite confident in his gambling skills, so he naturally agreed, but when he sits at the gambling table, he can't help it.

That arrogant gambler is only willing to bet three times with Mu Qingrui.However, he placed a high bet, betting all the gold and silver behind him, and bet against Mu Qingrui for the first round; after that, he doubled the amount.

Mu Qingrui took it for granted that he would not lose, so he agreed without thinking.

In the first game, the opponent chose Liubo, which he was good at. This Mu Qingrui was also very good.

Mu Qingrui only thought it was a fluke, and when he was depressed, he aroused his resentment, and chose the horse crane that he played best in the second round.As a result, the opponent thought hard for a long time, and the two played from evening to midnight. Finally, in countless draws, the gambler narrowly won.At this point in the betting, the amount of bets has become astonishingly huge. The master did some calculations. After these two rounds, Mu Qingrui has lost almost half of the money he earned in the past five years. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Mu Qingrui gave up.

But how could the arrogant Mu Qingrui listen to his persuasion, and still persisted in opening the third round...
